When was the last non-free month, barring WrestleMania?

Kickoff show was nothing - although I did enjoy Barrett's silly face before hitting the elbow. Sheamus vs. Orton was a match. Ditto the tag titles match, which had the wrong team win. Roman vs. Bray went on for ages. STEPHANIE MCMAHON PRESENTS the divas revolution triple threat was something else. We got Steph towering over JoJo, a recap of this "revolution" focusing on Steph, and some new chicks. Brie nearly landed very very badly on a pile-on back suplex. Cena-Owens went through the motions of being a good match, but wasn't much of one. Main event was a patchwork of a great match with an amazing return. Taker looks like just the right amount of young and old to make this Granddaddy Deadman deal work. I loved everything here BUT the non-finish. Seth is a fucking heel - HAVE HIM PIN BROCK AND TAKE ALL THE CREDIT. What is so fucking hard about that?

It was the best commentary all night actually. It was so fucking lame it deserved the absolutely tepid response it got.

Seeing Takers legs buckle while trying to tombstone Brock made me sad

I am going to say Taker gets the W and this is the start of a build for his final match at Mania in Texas
exactly this.

"Undertaker wants revenge against Brock"
but only after having another WM match and beating Wyatt when he could have just fought Brock again because they were both on the same card...and this rematch happens at Summerslam and not WM
"but revenge"

They are going to flush two years of Lesnar build because ratings are down
I only half watched it, but the Roman, Divas, Cena and Brock match seemed good for 10 dollars a month.

Taker won't be at mania 32 at this rate. He's about to get fucked over by Brock.
Not at all, or not to me anyway. If Taker thinks he can deliver the match then let him go for it. Undertaker has always been built up as something more, regardless of age and its the only other storyline Lesnar has that isn't wrecking dudes for the title.
Heyman keeps bringing up the 21-1 thing, Lesnar hurts Taker's brother, it makes perfect sense from a storyline perspective.
Now will it deliver, thats the questions. WM match was not that great.

Sounds like going with EVO instead of Battleground was the right call.

The funniest thing is when Taker goes over Brock clean after multiple current top guys couldn't even come close to beating him because Taker has to get his win back.

Revenge for Kane, not for WM30.

TNA had a PPV this year so I hate to say this, but you're DEFINITELY wrong
PTP vs New Day was great, IMO.

That was fantastic. Totally surprised by him coming out. I threw my hands in the air when I saw him in the ring.
My only complaint is what happened to Seth and the Ref.

I doubt they going to let Brock get over that easy. They probably going to have a cowardy Bork running around like a chump while Taker tries to look threatening. Bullshit :/

This PPV desperately needed Cesaro and Rusev to tear the house down.
Also Taker looked gassed as fuck.

Dude he'll definitely do that amazing move where he walks out on the rope from the turnbuckle and the crowd will eat that shit up
Maybe that's her freak. Who are we to judge?

It makes no damn sense. Brock is the most over babyface they've had in a while and they are going to fuck it up because no one is going to boo Taker.

Because this old deadman who's been the face of fear for years had popped up out of nowhere after no one hearing from him in over a year
No one cares about the Wyatt/Taker match

Its seriously so fucking awful on so many levels. They had Brock break the streak to make him into a total juggernaut and it worked...
and now they're going to feed him back to a decrepit Taker because ???

If they keep trying these tombstones I'm afraid Brock will be the one that ends up with an injury.

Taker will get his win back at SummerSlam so he can look legit for Sting at Mania.
Meanwhile, Sting will be the fall guy for a tag match with Roman against the Wyatts.

Yeah. The nostalgia card is pretty long in the tooth by now and honestly these guys aren't going to be able to wrestle much longer.
Do I smell a Cena world title run in the near future?

I can't believe they're gonna put Taker in the ring with Lesnar after he was hospitalized last year from their match

Oh and the problem with Lesnar is this:
During Lesnar's run in 2002-2004 only ONE (1) man took him down him clean in one on one confrontation, and that was an absolute legend in Kurt Angle. He pinned him once in a triple threat, and made him submit. The Goldberg match was throwaway and it never counts.
If Lesnar wins back the strap, you're going to have to take it off him by cheating in another triple threat, and people are gonna see it coming. There's just no way it could work.
