Now that we're through with the weekend, I'll say Bayley/Banks was the best match this weekend by a decent margin. I though Taker/Brock might pass it, but not with that lousy finish.

Fuck that finish.
EDIT: I'M BACK TO BUBBLE BOBBLE BOB!!!

IC Match was great! Watch it again! Those near falls are incredible, especially with Miz's facials. Big Show even brought some new moves to the table!

Yes, let's compare a star making performance to a match between a 50 year old and a guy who wrestles three times a year.

In a way, I can't blame these simpletons, Data West. They've been taught for the past 15 years that neither winning nor losing mean anything. So how could they ever imagine that someone could come out of a loss stronger than when they went into the match?
If you don't already do, you should watch Lucha Underground
The only finish that bothered me was the Undertaker one. They booked themselves in a corner when they didn't want a Brock win or a clean Undertaker one.
Would of been a better story that he finally beats Brock in his last match in his home state. I wonder if he is turning heel because he dick kicked his way to victory.

I can't speak for Dream, but I'm willing to bet that the current generation would have thought Steve Austin was completely dead and buried at WM13, just like I saw people tonight upset that John Cena both didn't win clean and didn't lose clean, and were convinced that Cesaro lost all of the momentum of the past 3 months due to loses to KO, who they also thought would die if he lost.

Okay, one last point:
I think people are making the mistake of thinking about Undertaker as just another old pro wrestling fuck. Like he's Ronnie Garvin or Jake Roberts or Jimmy Snuka or something. Undertaker is way more than that, for reasons that I won't go into. People believed in the streak, which made the streak real. You had legitimate media outlets covering the end of the streak.
Undertaker is part of our mythology. Undertaker is the closest thing pro wrestling has to being mythological. And how do you kill a myth? You get people to stop believing in it. You get people to stop believing in the Undertaker.

Bret and Austin wished they got paid millions a year to just suplex and dick kick people
The laugh session they had in the middle of the ring perfectly encompassed the surreality of it all

And yeah they're clearly telegraphing this for WM32 with this deal. They needed a reason for Brock to want to put Taker down once and for all, and Taker getting a fluke win (that, in the grand scheme of things, really means fucking nothing) via being a cheating dickbag is a good way to do it.
But they could've done without the timekeeper shit

Jushin Liger wrestled for 5 years without his mask. It's also 2015, why does anyone care what someone looks like without their mask?
BronsonLee

The same reason every masked guy in WWE doesn't take pictures without their mask on
I'm worried about bean's state of mind and just his general whereabouts.

The funniest moment of the night (besides Undertaker laughing) was Brie yelling "BRIE MOOOOOODE!" then completely air-balling that dropkick.
I kinda want Taker to go in the HOF next year but play it completely kayfabe. Have Kane do the induction, also in character, with mask and voice box.
That wasn't a botch though, that was planned.

Except for Kalisto, who was shown on Swerved without his mask. On WWE Network. Liger wrestled without a mask for years. His real face is known. And has been for 30 years. It'd be like getting upset that Green Arrow competed without his little mask thingy and under his real name.

Friend DM did you watch the show? Somebody on there was waving to you.

Yeah but nobody gives a shit about Kalisto, and Liger wrestled without a mask in the early years, so that shit don't count
Commentary was in general two notches above what they normally put out for a PPV. Especially in the main event. Cole was rolling. I knew it when he started with the best striker line that we were in for a special fight.

JBL also had a great line at the end of Rusev/Ziggler when he said "Nothing's been resolved, and I love it!" Sounds like a line directly from Vince.

honestly I think we need to stop doing ref distraction finishes for a few years.
Eveyone has a phone, they show replays of bullshit stuff in the crowd, and its the type or carney shit that makes wrestling look faker than it needs to be.
