Outside of taker vs punk the shit was not worth $60

 

[funkystudent]

These last few years have been like the New Generation, same kind of problems. I think we've now entered 1994/1995 levels of bad.

Nah. Imagine if Hogan was still hogging the spotlight in WWF in 95 and burying HBK and Taker. That is what WWE is like now.

We are in WCW 1999/2000 territory with Cena and HHH as the replacements for Hogan and Kevin Nash.

 

[Kaladin]

That...doesn't really count as quitting.

It's like the patch for lapsed wrestling fans. You still get your weekly fix, but you don't look like an addict doing it.

 

[Razorskin]

Poor Rhodes and Sandow getting bumped like that, though they'll probably have their match on RAW they lost their pay day...

 

[sf2fanatic]

We still have AJ

She still winless at Mania!!!!! LOL!!!

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

The silver lining to all of this was that the rest of Wrestlemania weekend besides Wrestlemania was fantastic.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I need a hug guys.

 

[UberTag]

Poor Rhodes and Sandow getting bumped like that, though they'll probably have their match on RAW they lost their pay day...

Kofi got his payday.

 

[Kaladin]

When is the LAW on? I want to hear some salty tears.

Yeah, can't say I didn't watch a crap ton of awesome wrestling so weekend was still a mega-success. Plus, this just cements me not watching anymore WWE and getting even more into the indies, which I'm fine with until WWE gets me back.

 

[Judderman]

It's on right now. They don't seem that salty. I think most people are just indifferent about it.

The callers will probably change that though.

 

[Ithil]

Rock lost, which made me sad. But I won two avatar bets, which more than makes up for it.

I've never once said I was quitting. That's scaling back how much I watch.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Cenation harbors terrorists.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Poor Rhodes and Sandow getting bumped like that, though they'll probably have their match on RAW they lost their pay day...

Yeah that was really bad.

The booking was shocking all night. Dunno how they burnt through three or four matches in an hour and still didnt have time for that. Having three big matches one after the other was a mistake, as well. It's why the crowd was dead. The whole first hour was filler matches that should have separated the main events.

can we get a link?

 

[dream]

Man, I'll be dropping RAW like a bad habit. I've got 38 discs of the best Japanese matches from the 80's, a whole year's worth of Memphis TV and house shows, plus an 18 disc Stan Hansen best-of to work through.

That's the beauty of wrestling - when the modern day product is shite, there's always something from wrestling's past worth discovering.

Zoinks. Does it have the match from the NJPW vs AJPW show where he popped Big Van Vader's eye out?

 

[Dthomp]

can we get a link?

[Data West]

Also wasn't the whole Bellas thing supposed to be feuding with Kaitlyn over Cody? When did Brodus Inc get involved?

thx

 

[Gorillaz]

We still have AJ

well....at least the night hasn't been all bad

 

[Dthomp]

First my Thunder lose, then this crapfest of a Wrestlemania. The worst I can remember. The only match I even remotely enjoyed was Punk/Taker. I love CM Punk, but I still feel that the last couple Taker matches have been better. Not one memorable moment the whole show. Depressing day.

 

[British Monsoon]

Almost certainly, and the ridiculously fun Hansen vs Andre match, too;

Stan Hansen vs Andre the Giant - (NJPW 09/23/81)

 

[bangai-o]

thanks for the link to this LAW show. i never listened to it before and it seems like no one is in the mood to give a rundown of the show.

 

[RipRamsey]

Wow. That was disappointing. Nothing to get excited about or even mad at. The entire show just felt flat and by the numbers. Boring really.

 

[Jitters]

LAW isn't playing for me.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Punk vs Brock for Extreme Rules!!!!


Book it!!

 

[smr00]

There's only one dude who sounds like an asshole in that story and it ain't Raven.

Having met Raven about 30 times over the years i have yet to see him act this way towards any of his fans. Not saying he doesn't but every time i have been around him or talked to him he never came off like this, he was always super polite.

 

[Dthomp]

There really wasn't anything to write home about. This felt like a bad Monday Night Raw.
Just thinking about the show makes me angry I wasted 4 hours of my night. Main Event was AWFUL!!! Rest Holds galore, followed by infinite finisher fest to end it.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'm glad they didn't pull some stupidness and have Rock win.

LAW isn't playing for me.

Turn your adblock off.

 

[Anth0ny]

taker punk was good but match of the year is still cena/punk on raw

 

[dream]

Almost certainly, and the ridiculously fun Hansen vs Andre match, too;

Stan Hansen vs Andre the Giant - (NJPW 09/23/81)

Good god. Sometimes you forget how big Stan Hansen was.

 

[Kaladin]

First caller thinks everything delivered except Ryback vs Henry.

Part of the problem.

 

[Ithil]

A filler Wrestlemania. How do you even manage that?

 

[bangai-o]

LAW is just on regular FM radio in Canada? does it play on Sirius?

 

[Spider from Mars]

A filler Wrestlemania. How do you even manage that?

By being Vince

He called in last week and was dillusional then, so it's no surprise

 

[Kaladin]

The past three Manias 27 - 29 have been filler I think. Think about it. They brought in The Rock to put over Cena and start this new Cena era that began tonight. It was all filler to get to this.

 

[funkystudent]

A filler Wrestlemania. How do you even manage that?

WM 27 was a wrestlemania that did nothing but set up the next years mania so its been done.

This year was worse though. The crowd was dead after HHH/Bork and Cena/Rock did nothing for them.

 

[Jitters]

I kind of liked the last 3 matches. Both HHH/Brock and Cena/Rock were better than their last matches together. Not that that is saying much.

Crowd was on fire for Taker and Punk.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

WM27 is still worse than anything.

 

[Kaladin]

I think Cena vs Rock was slightly better last year.

Taker vs Punk was the only match highlight of the show.

 

[sf2fanatic]

How long til we see a horrific injury from the Shield? Their jumps to the outside of the ring have been suspect

 

[A.E Suggs]

First my Thunder lose, then this crapfest of a Wrestlemania. The worst I can remember. The only match I even remotely enjoyed was Punk/Taker. I love CM Punk, but I still feel that the last couple Taker matches have been better. Not one memorable moment the whole show. Depressing day.

That may be the only highlight of my night.

 

[Kaladin]

The Shield's entrance was cool.

Daniel Bryan finally getting to wrestle at Mania and the spot at the end of the match where they zoomed out and the entire crowd was chanting yes was cool.

Ryback hitting shell shock on Henry was cool.

Punk vs Taker was match of the night.

The rest was a mix of meh to shit to headache inducing.

 

[slightconfuse]

Ryback might be the star of the night.

 

[Jitters]

Brock and HHH was super slow, but I really liked HHH doing the kimura. The crowd was dead though. Maybe it shouldn't have followed the very exciting Punk/Taker.




Does Ryback doing the shellshock on Henry confirm Tensai botched on purpose? lol

 

[Kaladin]

 

[Conrad Link]

That WM with Cena and Miz was still worse but thats not saying much.

CM Punk vs Undertaker this year and Daniel Bryan winning happiness just ups this show from the depths of shit the other guys tried to put it in.

 

[slightconfuse]

Better than the fat punk mark after RR

[UberTag]

WM27 is still worse than anything.

And yet it had the best build between Dwayne & Cena.
And the better Trips vs. Undertaker match.
And featured Edge's last major pay-per-view wrestling appearance.
And a Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus match that lasted longer than 18 seconds.
And perhaps the finest bit of any WWE programming The Miz has ever been involved with (that pre-main event match promo).
