Sooo slapping Big E's man chebs is a good luck thing for people now? Or just cause it's a TON of fun?
Feel like E is all "C'mon guys this isn't cool"

Just a generic racial WWE Stereotype of the Mexican population. According to GAF.
Rey Mysterio still works there, officially.
Well that is easy to forget.
Who?
No Taker at all. Sting V HHH maybe, HHH might be able to carry him to a good match based on his WM XXX performance.
Based on the recent 'firings', H's wrestling Ziggler or Ryback at Mania would do a lot more for the roster than two guys in their 40's/50's. Have Sting face Wyatt, if necessary. Taker has no business doing anything based on last year's performance and condition. The spectacle is gone anyhow.
I doubt Triple H would ever do a Mania against a regular guy. He's either facing big returning stars or A-level talent that is worthy of elevation.
There are no indications either Ziggler or Ryback are ever going to be that status in WWE, so I doubt Trips would ever do any of those matches to give these guys the rub. I can see him giving Sami, Owens or Balor that particular honor in the future though.

Probably. But then again, these part timers are going to stop doing this sooner than later. Taker, especially, makes no sense anymore unless it's Sting, but that should have been done several years ago. His aura is gone with the Streak ending.
Bray is another issue. So they're slightly pushing him now just in case he gets in one of those matches for 'Mania. OK, say he does, big deal. Right after they'll go back to continue booking the guy like a goof and no one will care again. They've messed him up too much in the past 10 months.

Taker Vs Bray at 'Mania. Taker wins and then brainwashes Bray into re-starting The Ministry.
I kid of course but I'd honestly like to see Bray booked better, his promos may wander a bit too far into the swamp of pretension but I do find him entertaining in the ring and on the mic.
It's #HonorFriday, friends.

The Vaudevillains have been shit since the big bang.
Funny though, they improved a little bit. Still fuckin shit though. But there's hope.
Vaudevillains wouldn't work at all on the big stage. They're small-time and only work in small arenas based on what I've seen of them. Plus, their gimmick is inconsistent with their own face/heel dynamic.
Vince, give it a look, friend. Watch AJ Styles drive Roderick Strong's head into the mat in HD.

No hope. They're awful in the same way serving a nanobrew IPA in a Mason jar at a Greenpoint speakeasy is awful.

I will say I agree, on the big stage, the Vaudevillains are fucked - but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying what they are right now. I just don't like em right now.
I like the Vaudevillians, don't listen to the haters. The fact that they got a more dastardly sounding theme song after they turned heel was amazing. Also, I hope their next big feud has some silent movies as well, brilliant stuff.
On the other hand, I'm really disinterested in anything the Lucha Dragons do right now, it's just not clicking with me and I'm not really sure why. I guess the Lucha antics just don't really work in the toned down, slower, matchtype WWE has to put on, but there's not really anything you can do about it unless you create something like a WCW Cruiserweight or X-Division where these guys mix it up with other guys on their speed and level of workrate rather than have everyone doing the same type of matches.
I think I just accidentally reasoned my way into a thing that would make Raw more tolerable for 3 hours. Every match and segment they do is in essence the same thing, the same pace, the same structure. It would be a lot less boring if they had different types of matches and performers throughout each show, so it wasn't all the same all the time and you could mix up performers and get some unique programs.

To be fair though, if even Vinces wet dream of a tag team are fucked on the main stage and the Neville gimmick rumours are true, the NXT roster is fucked on the big stage.

It's Sin Cara. Something about him has held Kalisto back. That, and they're not able to really showcase their stuff. I'm hoping Kalisto breaks off on the main roster, because he can be one hell of a star as long as he isn't saddled with a loser.
Just last night I was thinking during Breeze's entrance how fucked that guy is right now. His current gimmick works fine in NXT, but will never ever get over on the main roster. And with his size and his in-ring work, he's pretty much guaranteed to be on the Adam Rose/Fandango jobber level when he comes in as is.
I don't really see what they can do with him to get him over either, or what kind of gimmick. I mean, there are more people in NXT that have gimmicks that won't get over on the main roster, but at least most of them have something unique or are really good in-ring performers that you can be sure they can get over to some degree even without a good gimmick or the backing of WWE Creative. But Breeze? I have no clue where he's gonna go right now when he debuts on the main roster, but straight to jobber status.
To be fair, yeah that is probably part of it. Sin Cara has been booked like a joke and being paired with him is not a good message if they debut together on the main roster.
Dude the Lucha Dragon intro song is awesome and they do flippy stuff, whats not to love?
Speaking of great themes, CFO$ deserves props for Kidd's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XxbkUhvXGs
Most of their themes are awesome, but a lot of them also suffer from being 30 seconds long and just repeating for 3 minutes. Works fine as an entrance theme, but Kidd's is an actual song with more than a few lines of lyrics and I appreciate that.

AJ? The Bellas?
I'd rather see Austin come back to feud with HHH and then see Sting vs Taker

They would throw cena in there for the sake of the hype.
That's when you give Hogan the okay for one last match. Because that would be enough bait to keep Cena away.
Sting vs. Taker on paper sounds like a dream match and I'd love to see it just for the stare off and bat pointing and what not.
But in the end you can't really do that match and have it be of any quality, however, a threeway with someone that could carry that match might work. But if you're gonna do that you might as well have Sting vs. HHH and Taker vs. a young guy.
Not that I see Taker coming back for another match, he lost the streak so I assume he's done.

Sting vs. Undertaker vs. Triple H. Triple Threat Casket Match!!
That lasts 5 minutes bell to bell so I can have a quick dump.
Sting vs. Undertaker vs. Triple H. Triple Threat Casket Match!!
Sure HHH probably needs to carry both.
Pretty much. I'd go into that match with the lowest of expectations but the main attraction of that match would be the build up for it and the fact that Taker/Sting is the last "dream match" left. I'd picture the feud going something like this. WWE has even flat out acknowledged that there's a big demand for that match from fans, I can't believe they're seriously going to pass that up.
*Undertaker shows up at the Raw after Royal Rumble*
Taker - With The Streak now dead, I feel it's time to return to the darkness and take my leave from this ring. So I'm officially announcing my re-
*Crow noises. Lights go black. Lights come back on and Sting is in the ring pointing a bat at The Undertaker. Then Sting slowly moves the bat to point to the WrestleMania sign*

You guys...want Taker?
Last year was a stinker, but he had an excuse. The Punk, H's and Michaels matches were all very entertaining imo.
I think a lot of people are forgetting he got a concussion early in the Brock match that fucked things up. Before that he consistently put on one of the best matches every year at Wrestlemania pretty much since the first HBK match.
