What about John Cena, high flier extraordinaire?
He comes off that second rope a lot smoother than that fatass Carlito, that's for sure.

Nice OP, I hope Becky Lynch gets a big push in NXT, haven't seen much of her since the 4 wayThey'll figure out not to have her talk much and just suplex people all match long
Yeah I'm keen to see more of Becky and Bliss now. The optimist in me would love to see NXT expand to 1.5 hours (or whatever the fuck that is without ads) due to how damn stacked their roster is atm.
Two matches not from 2015, but two great, great matches that I was watching the other day.
Ricky Steamboat & Dustin Rhodes vs. Arn Anderson & Larry Zbyszko (Clash XVII)
Kairi Hojo vs. Meiko Satomura (Fortune Dream)
Recommend both if you have the time.

That really annoyed me, I wanted to hear the pops for both guys.
Like, one of the main things I was looking forward to from the show. -_-

Raw after Mania 4/10, WWE need a change in direction, but when you have no competition you can force feed people horse shit and they will love it..time to vanish until Summer Slam..
OH MY SHIT
All my hype.
And no Lucha Underground taping to stop it from happening (the "season" taping is wrapping up in April and won't start again until after the summer).
OH MY SHIT
All my hype.
Hmm, I wonder how their styles will mesh. On paper, it's mega fresh and intriguing.
Have you watched all of it?

Fuck misogynistic chants. Fans should be above that shit.
A NXT PPV every month? For $9.99?? That's insanity! How can we pay so little for such great value!
That's what led to him jumping to WCW wasn't it? Wanting to get back in the ring for at least one more program?
Excuse to sell new merch I guess *shrug*
I get the feeling it's just to put another big guy name on the trophy so when they read out past winners in the future it'll make it sound like a trophy for big strong dudes.
Kinda boring but considering it was on the pre-show rather than Mania itself you can see how much prestige the WWE consider it to have.

I'm watching this Macho Man DVD.
In the Fall of 1994, Macho Man completely mapped out and wrote a 2 year storyline with Shawn Michaels that would end at WM with Shawn retiring Macho Man.
...Vince said no, we are having a youth movement.
Fuck you Vince

He seemed incredibly nervous. Which is odd since he already does a ton of stuff all the time, just didn't get into a good flow, sounded really stilted. I'd argue his mic was way too low too.
It was a super pointless match. No reason for it, came on late with no real heat going.

Nope. When I asked before everyone said the last hour sucks so don't know whether to just stop soon.
Read the spoilers and watch what interests you. Don't watch the main event unless you want to see the fans doing a massive wave.
But yeah, the first hour was mega hot.

Divas match was fine, some really good spots towards the end. I'd really prefer to see more singles matches though.
Also is it true that Pentagon Jnr & Fenix are brothers?!?

What about Rey before he lost his mask in WCW?

His match with Eddie at Havoc 97 was pretty slick though.
Exactly. Also, he and Malenko could tear it up.

Things after watching RAW clips on youtube
Brock is the best thing on the roster. Everyone is so out of his league that if their league exploded, Brock wouldn't hear the sound for another 3 days. It's a shame we have authority figures because they should've just let him finish and announce his suspension next week
Sheamus looks ridiculous, but it's a striking look at least
(Adrian) Neville reminds me that I hate these non impactful debuts.

Sheamus looked great. Neville looked good, let's hope that keeps going. Bork's ready for the monster babyface run and is going to make a -lot- of money. Rollins is amazing. Orton's in the mix. Everything is great.

Come on guys, Saxton was clearly legit shook after having witnessed his good friend and colleague...... Jim Cameraman get attacked by Bork - oh and Cole also got attacked.
He wasn't himself after seeing something like that, he was stilled because he feared for his life being out there, he didn't even sit down in a chair to pay respect to his fallen comrades.
Speaking of Jim Cameraman, what a gawd damn legend, he should get the Warrior Award next year. That is the most dedicated camera man I've seen. An angry Bork storms towards you and you stand your ground and say "F**K YOU I'M GETTING THE SHOT."

Yeah, the NEVILLE rename is baffling.
Actually, all caps NEVILLE would have been better for the indy hipster crowd.
Also that cape looks dumb.

Saxton did drown out there. Really a shame how hard it was for him to get going - I'd love to see him on commentary more often, but that was a pretty rough couple hours.

From his seasonal residence, Breeze
I think he did good, he was meant to have that soft spoken, sense of dread feel to him. They weren't going to allow him to just commentate all cheery and dandy like there wasn't a flipped over table in front of him and chaos didn't just take out all his colleagues.
Last night's RAW depressed the shit out of me, you can literally feel the transition out of WrestleMania season as the show progressed. By the end it was back to form for RAW, with absolutely pointless booking and recaps that took up a significant chunk of the actual show.
Bork running wild was amazing, but that's about it. Bryan and Ziggler's match was great, but they decided to give the two most over guys in the company jobber entrances, because in WWE if you're not in an Authority storyline you are just going to be kind of happening in the background, in what feels like afterthoughts at times.
EDIT: Kalisto did look like a star which was awesome, and Adrian Neville's squash match was ok.

Names like Adrian Neville make them feel generic as hell unless there's a persona/gimmick behind it (Macho Man, Ravishing, Hitman, Heartbreak Kid, Stone Cold, Million Dollar Man, British Bulldog, etc.). There are extreme exceptions, like Hulk Hogan.

AJ Lee managed to get her last name back, maybe NEVILLE will find his again too one day.
Kalisto looked the best he has since being signed.

Cesaro is OK. I still think Big E Langston was better.
What planet do you have to be on to think that one "normal" name is a good ring name?
CM Punk is also fine.
