Go ahead and add Taker/Bray and Lesnar/Reigns to that too. These part time feuds are just becoming more and more half assed as time goes on.

I'd say Bryan gets the IC belt just so Cena can unify them and get his win back at the same time, but who the fuck knows. Nothing they're doing makes sense, and even the people who defend the shit have to exaggerate at this point.
Absolutely on board with this. A guy curb stomped you and caused you to miss 4 months of action in kayfabe. And you come back and are cool with him and the gang? Fuck off. Dumb motivation. Bet they'll go the "I wanted to get you alone" angle...or not at all. They won't explain it at all. Just like they NEVER fucking explained the Bellas getting back together except with "because sisters."

I've never seen someone blow something so completely out of proportion like you have here. You never even responded to the follow up posts. Just completely ignored them.

All I know is I turned on the show about 930 to see what was happening since you miss nothing at all by just watching the last segment of the show, and there were 2 guys dressed as giant condoms that beat the usos.
open air arena isn't going to help the crowd audio.
You know that Vince and Dunn are going to pipe in fake cheers for Reigns.

Most of the WWE apologists can't even be bothered to defend the booking any more and have reverted to the tactic of saying "Hey, WrestleMania is like the Super Bowl so it will be amazing for the spectacle regardless and it doesn't matter that the build and the matches on the card suck".

exactly. so fucking dumb. that crowd was losing its shit when orton came back.
so lets take all of his heat away by doing this weird bullshit for two weeks. ugh.
don't even get me started on the cena/rusev shit. awful raw.
reminder: roman reigns is main eventing wrestlemania. anyone remember what his role was on raw this week? I already forgot.

almost half the card is part timers
"part timer" wasn't even a thing until like WM28

Wasn't the first hour good. It seems so long ago I can't be sure.
Yup. This segment retroactively made sense of the segment where Show + Kane where carted off by Steph. Was it the best build for the feud? Probably not. But there is some sense to be made...at least in the wacky world that is professional wrasslin.

Damien Sandow gets a bigger reaction than the Face of the company. At least Cena always gets some sort of reaction.

When I had dvr I could get through most raws in about 40-60 minutes. Now that I don't I pretty much have only watched one raw per month since Oct. It is still soul crushing. I honestly don't think I can even do this much longer.
I still can't believe Reigns is in the main event.
It just feels so underwhelming. Why didn't Reigns come out and confront Bork to his face during the Heyman promo? Do anybody even gives a fuck about proper booking...its the grandest stage of them all but it's being booked like a regular raw with better pyro.
Let me get off this subject because everytime I think about how WWE is run....my left eye twitches becausea company can't be that obtuse to reality.

WWE is going way out of its way to make daniel bryan completely irrelevent lol the guy is the biggest star they currently have and he's getting stuck in a nobody rememebrs match.

Reigns is Diesel if they hadn't put him over in MSG but later on at WM, except Reigns could never powerbomb Big Show even if it costed him his spine.
The only thing I was excited about at Mania was Rusev and Cena, as they were building Rusev up to be a monster and would actually have some heat going into the match. Now there is no heat, there is nothing. It's just Rusev jobbing to Cena because Cena Wins LOL.
Jesus. Let the heel have some damn heat for once. Make the fucking match important.

I'm just glad I stopped giving the company money after cancelling my Network sub a month after it started. Yeah, watching programs live occasionally is still probably bad, but I feel less shame than I would financially supporting these people knowing that this is what they can do on their best day.

Cena beating the Soviet and cutting a promo about the glory of trickle down economics will close the show,
What heat? We knew that rusev would lose to cena since day 1.

So, how was Raw?
This is such an oddly booked WrestleMania
Your number one face isn't over
Your number two face is your biggest heel based on his tactics
Your two most over Superstars seem to be stuck in some cat and mouse ladder match
Your monster heel at best is a tweener in his feud. And gets paid a shit-ton of money to just stand around.
Almost everyone is phoning in their promos. Sting had... whatever that video was. Taker was via voiceover. Triple H didn't even show up this week.

They ruined the new millennium's first WM by putting over HHH and having people throw crap in the ring, I hope they have enough common sense to have Rollins cash in on Reigns 3 minutes after the win on Lesnar.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and

Neat
And yet people legit think Brock is staying for this half-ass trash
The road to Wrestlemania just keeps on going...from clusterfuck avenue to weird booked lane.
Brock is probably going to stay, he give no fuck whether it good or bad.

You think Brock really cares about how the show is booked? He's only here for a check.
BoboBrazil

Yep. I was gonna spend $10 for Mania if it was Bryan vs. Lesnar, but once Reigns won at Fast lane that plan went out the window. What should you expect though? This company has fucked up everything time and time again where you now have to expect the eventual fuck up of anything good.

Dude came in today with having knocked Cena out.
Dude left today with Cena having knocked him out, waking him up with water, making him physically tap with both hands multiple times, and then knocking him out again.
He genuinely couldn't have looked worse. Even if he was Bray Wyatt getting the shit kicked out of him to the point of crying and begging for his life on his knees.
ed: Brock's gone as hell, but that's got nothing to do with the company's shit booking and more to do with Dana paying him more.

You mean he doesn't love the business and having 4.75 star matches?
what does brock care? he has to work twice a year, stand around in a ring a couple times, and other than that just sit on his ass and collect his millions.
mother fucker has a private jet that picks him up from his house, brings him to the arena for WWE, then brings him home after the show. he's staying.
He he knock out cena by using a low blow, he was already looked bad.
