March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns

Reigns is now an afterthought. They realize he's not catching on and are trying to push the Brock walking away with the title story as THE story going in Mania. It's not abour Reigns. It's about Brock and the WWE.

No they are trying to get fans to cheer Roman at Mania by letting people know Brock is trying to leave to go to UFC.

Does anyone else find the Observer website incredibly slow? Like it takes a solid minute to load up. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference, but it the slowest website I visit by far.
 
Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose defeated Bad News Barrett, Stardust and Luke Harper in the main event. Bryan got the win for his team after hitting the knee on Harper. Michael Cole interviews Bryan, Ziggler and Ambrose in the ring after the match. They start showing jealousy to each other and Ambrose leaves after calling Bryan a turd. Ziggler also calls Bryan a turd and leaves Bryan by himself in the ring. Bryan asks fans if he's a turd and they start a "no!" chant. Bryan thanks fans to end the show.

i'm laughing so hard at what this company's become

I don't see how you can watch that Heyman promo and think that was an attempt to get people to boo Brock. The whole point was that he's the one guy on the roster who won't bow down to the McMahons. Thats why the crowd popped for it.

So, why would New Japan make their third NJ Cup show one of these house show deals with only 2 or 3 straight camera angles total and no commentary on New Japan World? Granted, it's pretty unique, but it seems strange for a major tournament series.
 
So unpopular opinion time, I really enjoyed the HHH/Sting package on Raw. I also enjoyed the Bray Wyatt/Taker but and am actually excited for the IC title ladder match.

I didn't watch his promo from this week's Raw. His previous ones were throwing out those UFC mentions though.

Sounds like par for the course in regards to the WWE's dialogue.

So unpopular opinion time, I really enjoyed the HHH/Sting package on Raw. I also enjoyed the Bray Wyatt/Taker but and am actually excited for the IC title ladder match.

I haven't seen the Sting video yet, but his match with Triple H holds the most intrigue for me. I'm cringing at the thought of Bray and Taker having a match, but I'm hoping they surprise the hell out of me with their performance. I think Taker will feel like he has something to prove after being panned for his match last year, concussion or not. He seems like a guy with a ton of pride.

You're gonna laugh even harder when Vince adds Yes! chants instead. Like the rib was suppose to go.

Fuck it. The New Japan Cup has been great, ROH has been fun, and Lucha Underground has been delivering the in-ring goods every single week. I just haven't had time to keep up with NXT, but based on the LAW reviews I listen to every week, it's more interesting than Raw.

I'll still likely head to a bar to watch Mania, but this build has been...eh. I'm totally part of the problem by continuing to watch mediocre programming, but I'm a sucker for the spectacle of Mania. I'm sure there will be some cool moments and maybe a great match or three.

Fucking embarrassing, but no longer unexpected. Worst build to a Mania ever

The turd thing baffles me. Turd in some european languages is what americans mean with "asshole". Is turd the new to-go asshole?

Heyman promo was just telling everyone that Brock is the biggest badass of all time and can do whatever he wants and the people in charge can suck it, makes you want to cheer him because you know it's true.

I don't like how people in this thread want Daniel to hog the spotlight, what about the other guys.

Eh, I don't think it's all people. We haven't seen TheWesker in a while, and he was Bryan's biggest cheerleader. Titus was also up there helping to lead the charge.

I think most Bryan marks have accepted Bryan's situation and moved on. My only issue is that without chasing a major title, Bryan's current character doesn't really work. He's a scrappy underdog who needs a big bad force opposing him and trying to keep him down. If he doesn't have that, his character feels like he's floating around in the wrong contexts...like this IC title ladder match.

Pretty excited for super card of honor and WWN live experience

The more I see of Katsuyori Shibata, the quicker he shoots up my list of personal favourite wrestlers. He has his signature spots, but it's how legit he makes everything look, and almost zero wasted or illogical motion that really make him stand out for me.

To be fair, the turd thing sounds like a dumb thing they do after the cameras are off.

Just do not watch his MMA fights and you will be in good shape. I have a feeling the Punk UFC debut will be eerily reminiscent.

goddamn right...Shibata probably the best coming out of NJPW. Dude resembles everything I love about wrestling.

Submission specialist, striker, TMF, and physique.

The thing is, I recently (finally!) listened to Taylor Swift's 1989, and it really is one of the best pop albums I've heard in years. Standouts are "Blank Space," "Out of the Woods," and the phenomenal synth pop piece "Style," which could have come right off of Tegan and Sara's most recent album.
