Just give New Day all the titles. They've won.

 

[Entropia]

Fuck this crowd.

 

[Vestal]

This is Booty chant.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Crowd cheering let's go sheamus

 

[Angry Grimace]

If they wanted this match to not be buried they shouldn't have put a bunch of people who are buried and aren't good at wrestling in it.

 

[LycanXIII]

Um.

Raw after Mania

 

[ramoisdead]

Well it is pretty much the last match on the card so not blaming the audience for going to town for themselves.

 

[JTripper]

Miz combing back his hair gently while recovering. That's some great character subtlety.

 

[TimeEffect]

Owens deserved better as champion. Way to shit on him with this mess of a build up and give Ryback the one on one.

Crowd is reacting as they should.

 

[Hex]

If they wanted this match to not be buried they shouldn't have put a bunch of people who are buried and aren't good at wrestling in it.

Exactly. This match is going on way the fuck too long

 

[UberTag]

Dude seriously look how they booked him, introduced him like some random nobody who hates KO for reasons unknown and cut one promo on fucking smackdown. How could anyone get over with that shit, honestly he's probably doing better than he should

He has a chant that's over. That's something, right?

Then again, Fandango once had an opening theme that was over.
And Sandow was one of the most over guys on the entire roster last year and was rewarded with crap.

 

[Vestal]

If they wanted this match to not be buried they shouldn't have put a bunch of people who are buried and aren't good at wrestling in it.

The problem is that no one is invested in any way on this match... This should have been Zyan vs Owens straight up for the Title.

 

[BoboBrazil]

The writing is shit, but alot of the blame also needs to be put on the commentary team for being horrible at their job.

 

[Hex]

Did someone just say "that was salty"

 

[Data West]

wow a multi man tag match having the 'i hit my finisher then i hit mine then you hit yours' spot. that's new.

 

[Colocho]

Fuck this crowd.

I much prefer a crowd going into business for themselves, than a crowd that wouldn't give a fuck if Austin came out and said he was having one more match.

 

[jonjonaug]

Fuck this crowd.

This match is pointless and boring.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Those boos came fast and hard. Damn near instantaneous.

I need to see a video of this.

 

[Kaiterra]

Ryder in the IC title match and the tantalizing prospect of that lovable goof actually getting a Wrestlemania moment almost makes me want to watch the show.

Almost.

 

[Angry Grimace]

stop kicking out just fucking lie down

 

[Jimmy King]

Feel bad for Sami and KO. Mostly Sami. No reaction. Yikes.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Deadwood was good!

Let me guess...this wasn't lol

 

[Entropia]

KO calling Stardust "Cody"? WTF man.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Well we know Zayn isn't winning at Mania. By the looks of it KO retains at Mania based on tonight.

 

[Data West]

you could hear a pin drop during that owens/zayn blowoff

 

[RBH]

I feel like this match would've fared better with the crowd if it aired in the 1st hour.

 

[ngower]

Credit to those guys for winning the crowd back. Put on a pretty decent match overall.

 

[UberTag]

Is that Sami's first televised pinfall on Owens in the WWE? (In a nothing match nobody cared about...)

 

[Couleurs]

Well we know Zayn isn't winning at Mania. By the looks of it. KO retains at Mania based on tonight.

Hopefully it at least leads to Sami/KO at uhhh...whatever the PPV after Mania is


Edit - Payback. Damn these generic PPV names

 

[Vestal]

you could hear a pin drop during that owens/zayn blowoff

Thanks Vince.. You fucked up a sure thing.

 

[Bronx-Man]

So there's 3 pre-show matches.

 

[JTripper]

10-Diva tag match.

What the fuck.

 

[Nameless]

Not one wild HBK appearance throughout the Mania build

 

[justjim89]

Did they say third hour of Wrestlemania kickoff?

Jesus fuck.

 

[ramoisdead]

Well we know Zayn isn't winning at Mania. By the looks of it KO retains at Mania based on tonight.

As he should. Hell he should've never lost the belt to Ambrose only for him to win it back by pinning Tyler Breeze, of all people.

 

[BoboBrazil]

10-Diva tag match.

What the fuck.

They do this every year it seems like.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Feel bad for Sami and KO. Mostly Sami. No reaction. Yikes.

Sami getting over seriously was ALWAYS going to be a super slow burn. Owens is almost assuredly going to retain.

 

[Anth0ny]

EVA GETS A MANIA PAYDAY

 

[UberTag]

So there's 3 pre-show matches.

What better way to kick off the 5-hour WrestleMania Star event.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

10-Diva tag match.

What the fuck.

Mania paydays for everyone!

 

[Bronx-Man]

Did they say third hour of Wrestlemania kickoff?

Jesus fuck.

3rd match. Pre-show is 2 hours, post-show is 1 hour.

 

[Jimmy King]

Sami getting over seriously was ALWAYS going to be a super slow burn.

But that reaction, or lack thereof, in a Brooklyn crowd is rough

 

[Sweeney Tom]

3rd match. Pre-show is 2 hours, post-show is 1 hour.

Yep. 7 hours total

 

[Colocho]

Is that Sami's first televised pinfall on Owens in the WWE? (In a nothing match nobody cared about...)

And let's remember Owens kicked out of 2 AAs and a Super AA in the same match, but now he takes a DDT and a kick to the face and it's over, great stuff there, Vince.

 

[Tom Nook]

Mania paydays for everyone!

not Titus

 

[Angry Grimace]

But that reaction, or lack thereof, in a Brooklyn crowd is rough

He was the only guy over the entire match

 

[Syder]

'B.A.D. & Blonde'? So, Beautiful and Dangerous and Blonde. How fucking stupid.

 

[somedevil]

And let's remember Owens kicked out of 2 AAs and a Super AA in the same match, but now he takes a DDT and a kick to the face and it's over, great stuff there, Vince.

That kick is Sami's finish.

 

[Kuroyume]

I prefer Sami with a mask. The red head dork dancing to ska music does not appeal.

 

[UberTag]

3rd match. Pre-show is 2 hours, post-show is 1 hour.

There's a post-show now? Good god... they really expect people to sit through that crap and not watch The Walking Dead finale on their PVRs?
