I miss the days of deep subtext in Wrasslin'. Now it's just Bayley and literal cuddles.

I like how New Day turned face apparently off camera.

I'm not following the people wondering why Roadblock was on the Network, especially on wreddit
This is exactly what you shitstains asked for. "Why not televise their MSG shows on the Network? Hell, any house show. Make it a special event. It'd be added content"
Then they do that and
"What was the point of this?"
It's a running joke that nothing pleases wrestling fans but jesus christ.

At least created a little storyline on Raw between Dean and H this past month
Better than 3 weeks of Roman showing up and saying "At Wrestlemania I will beat Hunter. I can, I will. Belee dat"

I've been paying very little attention to anything wrasslin' related recently (I guess I need a breather before Mania) but wasn't there supposed to be an AJ/KO match on this card? Does this mean it's getting bumped up to Mania after all?

That was on another house show. Never meant for Roadblock lol.

No idea, I don't watch much WWE. Didn't catch Roadblock. Just find it baffling people find problems with everything, especially when it's exactly what they asked for.

Plus it also gave HHH a visible title defence before Mania where he'll probably be dropping the belt, you know it makes him seem more champ material if he actually defends the belt every now and then, or maybe that's just my logic.

Just your logic? You've always been a smart cookie, Owl. It's true, too.

Your last sentence would indicate that you follow exactly why people are whining. The answer is that almost literally any WWE-related stimulus makes wrestling fans angry.
As for why the AJ/KO match was on a house show, the answer is that house shows are designed to test out crowd reactions to wrestlers and matches. I'm sure it will happen at some point on TV, but I don't think it will be WrestleMania unless you see Jericho express some kind of interest in the IC title.

Uh... ok.
Putting a house show on the Network as an exclusive? I think that's great content. The polar opposite of the Edge and Christian Show. I guess the issue isn't the placement of a house show as a network special, but the predictable nature of it, i.e it's still a house show so nothing will change/no stakes?
AJ/KO on an un-televised house show though? That's a baffling decision. Why not air that regardless? Just call it 'Network Main Event' or something, have an hour of allotted time, pad out with interviews and shit and then go to the match live.
I've just realised i'm also three LU's behind - are they all worth catching up with?
So.. I totally forgot about Brock vs Bray.
Its official, I fucking hate the Wyatts now.
First off all, the match was billed as Bray vs Brock, no? The past week and even during Roadblock, they were hyping Bray vs Brock.
Then Bray comes out and cuts a decent promo, citing that "The beast has beaten X, Y, and Z... BUT HE HAS NEVER CONQUERED ME! BRAY WYATT!"
And what does he fucking do? Puts Luke shitstain Harper in the ring and doesnt even get involved.
The entire promo he just cut was all for nothing. What a waste of time. Thanks for letting me sit through your entire 10 minute intro to not get the match I thought I was going to get.
Stay free Wyatt.

Because you're wasting a feud that probably would get 2 or 3 PPVs if you put it on TV by having them fight for no actual reason.

I thought they commonly experiment with potential programs on house shows. Is that not the case? Wouldn't think they'd want to broadcast KO / Styles if they plan to make something larger of it later.

Man... I like Carmella but maaaaan she needs to really find her own thing so she comes off more as complimenting Enzo and Cass and not siphoning their shtick. I imagine that at least is a part of why NXT crowds didn't like her early on and it might not be an issue on the main roster for a while but she needs something more than what she's currently doing.
Also, seeing as WrassleMania is three weeks away and there has been zero mention of it, it doesn't look like they're doing anything with the whole Stardust/Stephen Amell thing any time soon.

NXT crowds didn't like her because she was a heel manager of 2 faces.
There's been interplay between them on social media. Possibly a chance of it propping up the card somewhere and there's still a few weeks to promote it in.
They may save it for SS again (I think it was at SS last year right?)

Hated the motion captioning process so he quit.
Of course he did.

That too but still she needs something more especially when Vince breaks them up next year.

Apparently the first 10 minutes of the AJ/Owens fight was just locking up and doing nothing (I figured).

Injured WWE star Cesaro recently spoke with Sport 360, and during the interview he once again confirmed he will not be able to get back in the ring in time for WrestleMania 32. However, Cesaro did reveal that doctors have given him a return time frame of two or three months.

Guess they're just blowing it off, which is weird because who is New Day even gonna face?
hastily put together breakup angle activated
actually i very much doubt they are going to do that. I don't think they'd have any problem with LoN vs New Day on WM, we've already got AJ/Jerico IV, a third match between two oversized tag teams is fresh as a daisy by comparison.

There just isn't another option because the tag team division is pretty much buried in the ground. Forget Enzo and Cass, they pretty much need American Alpha too.

I mean, they have
* Ascension (jobbers to both the main roster and NXT)
* Usos (generic babyfaces)
* League of Nations
* New Day
* Lucha Brothers
* Social Outcasts
I guess the Colon brothers are still technically members of the roster but that supposed repackage hasn't actually occurred. That's a pretty thin fucking roster when you have your hottest act as part of that roster.
