Yup. And it's the moment Vince thought Roman was going to be a huge fan favorite ass kicking baby face. He didn't get the part where it was tied to Batista's go-away heat during that Rumble

It definitely showed. He was moving around the ring like they do in the WWE2K games.
Yeah, in hindsight, it's also kind of weird that the replay they show straight after Batista winning is all of Romans eliminations. I don't even think they showed the final elimination.
3+ years of keeping Roman strong.

He's a 50 year old pro wrestler. He's going to look like shit regardless.

Oh really? I hadn't watched Raw yet outside of the Joe debut, so I wasn't aware of the Fastlane stuff. That sounds a lot better then, Goldberg will probably just be there for one of those talk show segments or something. So is Strowman a face now or what?
Strowman just does not give a shit about alignment, which is actually good booking. He just wants to kick some ass.
Stroman is just a chaotic beast that tries to kill every one and everything. Not a baby face, but also gladly fucks up heels. I like it a lot. One of the better characters they've put together in a while.
They're making Strowman into what they wanted from Brock Lesnar, I think.

Fucking sweet. Strowman's grown a lot on me since his debut, so that's a push I'm perfectly fine with.

Strowman's also the smartest guy on the roster
if reigns or rollins had taken out jericho before the match they'd be champion by now

Negro Casas, Liger & Atlantis put many younger wrestlers to shame, all in their 50's.
The turn around they've made with him is pretty insane. This time last year we were all laughing at the idea of WWE wanting Stroman vs Lesnar, because Braun just looked so goofy and bad in the ring. The guy was called up way too early but he's made the improvements that were needed to be a legitimate monster.
I would be curious to know who is building the booking around Braun. It's just so drastically better than before. Vince does land a slam dunk every now and then though, even when he's shitting everything else up.

That was my favorite part of Raw. One of the funniest lines I have ever heard on a pro wrestling show.
It's not an age thing neccesarily, Taker is just beat the fuck up and coming off hip surgery. Dude can probably barely walk, let alone get in shape or work a match.

You'll still be a jobber
The 2014 Rumble was the stuff of legends. People weren't having it. They wanted Bryan and that was it.
The moment Mysterio comes out was just something else. Poor guy but man Vince fucked up real bad.
Batista was in the wrong place at the wrong time too.
The fact that they didn't have Bryan win the Rumble and wanted Batista v Orton is still mind-blowing to me.
That whole build was something else.

All of Neville's heel promos have been hilariously hammy.

It's probably not a coincidence that Goldberg has been in action a total of like 2 minutes since he returned. Dude probably can't go anymore.
If Vince wasn't such an incredibly stubborn human being, that should have been the moment he realized that maybe he should have stepped down from creative.
Well, Goldberg's entire career was based around working no longer than 2 minutes at a time. His Mania rematch against Lesnar should be 3 spears and a Jackhammer.
So what's going to happen at WrestleMania? Repeat of ManiaXX?
i'm 99.9% sure that Vince thinks he planned all of it
Hey, just spitballing here, but what if the Shaw deal fell through and it was BRAUN Vs Big Show for the title?
Guys?
...Guys?
Yeah, no idea what they're going to do at Mania. Another squash or just put on a terrible match?

Potato is OP. pls nerf.
It should simply be another squash match. I want the entire story-line to be "fuck you Brock. Goldberg was better"

Goldberg and Brock get in the ring. square off face to face when all of a sudden music hits...
"BUFF.
DADDY."

Brock must be laughing all the way to the bank, I bet he loves the Goldberg squashes. Dude has to wrestle for two minutes and then gets paid more than most on the roster.
Oh god, now I'm seeing Cena/Corbin as a real possibility.
And at the end of the feud, it turns out it was all an elaborate anti-drugs advert with Brock turning to hard cam straight after being beaten with a mic and says "Winners don't sue drugs. I wouldn't have won if it was for those pesky PEDs!"
Buys through the roof.

He's about x50 the promo too
Come on guys, can't you see it?
Cena isn't going to be around long, but he wants Flair's record and to get that he has to get to 17 world title runs.....not 16. So it stands to reason that his sixteenth title run will be quick. He'll get a rematch at the next Smackdown PPV which he'll win.

I was actually thinking the other day, Atlanta is getting a big fancy new stadium that can probably host a Wrestlemania in the next few years, are there any WCW standouts aside from Steiner and Buff that still need to be inducted into the Hall? Same with Minnesota and the AWA.
Yeah it's said that Cena's WM opponent is someone that "nobody will be celebrating" so take it for what you will. It's not Orton as he's still stated for Wyatt.
It'll be Corbin, Miz in an mixed tag or Ziggler. Who else is someone people won't be celebrating? They're the only ones that match up.

LMAO
Imagine them crowning Corbin this year
I joke about Cena V Orton this year, but I've convinced myself that in the next 14 months, Orton will get another 4 reigns and equal it too. Vacate the belt for some reason and your main event next year is Cena V Orton, winner breaks the record.

Dude is still seen around town here using the help of a ... cane.
Bagwell? Lol. I guess since they do just induct whoever the fuck regardless of actual impact.
Hugh Morris?
lol
Regal and Jericho are the only two names that come to mind and they did better things in WWE anyway.
EDIT: Actually, just induct Evolution and get Flair in again.

Can Cena just go away and film his little pathetic movies? AJ Styles should still be the WWE champion damnit.
