We still have a few weeks til WrestleMania. Just wait.

Wrestlemania 31 looks really lazy.
Three of the matches are being touted on the backs of part time players.
You have the bulk of the roster in one of two large brawl style matches. Really, 26 fucking writers and you couldn't come up with some interesting story lines for some of them going into the biggest show of the year. Ziggler, Barrett and Ambrose are all being wasted in that match.
The Tag Titles... lol. Do they even exist right now? There is nothing going on in that division. The champs are headlined by a guy who is better off being a singles competitor.
Divas... lol. They aren't even bothering with a championship match.
Only two matches on the card that look good and feature guys who will both be there after Wrestlemania are Orton/Rollins and Cena/Rusev. The latter has an ending booked that I don't want to see.
It's not a terrible card but there are only two really good feuds going into the event. Orton/Rollins and Cena/Rusev have had good build up. The rest of it looks like duds.
As it stands now we may get our Bryan vs. Sheamus match yet since the booking seems to be closed on the IC Title. I feel nothing for that match up.

One Man Gang(w Gary Hart) vs The Great Kabuki
Check it out. Neither man gets enough love around here.
Kabuki really has the presence like few other men. Even with the limitations he had and with me seeing guys like Muta and Undertaker first who had more theatrics and money to work with. I can watch this stuff retroactively and feel like he is channeling that character hardcore. The way he moves and the lifeless stare the cameras focus on as well as how much everyone fears the mist makes it obvious why he was so successful.
It helps how hard Gary Hart put him over too - THE GREAT KA-BOO-KEY. He was definitely something WCCW needed, hands down - considering how ingrained the Von Erichs were, you had Kamala, Kabuki, and some more 'exotic' wrestler characters.
Checking to see if Sheamus is healthy enough to come back I guess.
wait he's not in the ladder match? why is he involved in everything including the brawl for that match last monday?
He's not been announed. Then if Bryan doesn't end up in that, my interest goes down to unheard of levels.
The Smackdown spoilers say he put himself into the IC match.
Oh thank fuck. there may be one tolerable match whenever WWE gets me to re-subscribe to the network in the future.
Why did they do that, he might be their biggest star and thy announce that on fucking smackown

They put his return from months off on Smackdown, too. They don't always make the best choices.
Biggest? He's 5'8". Nobody cares about 5'8" /vince

According to the latest Smackdown reports, it seems that Orton and Reigns are bigger stars.
If you're finding yourself agitated with how dumb wrasslin' is, lean back and relax with some cool italian bossanova

Didn't they hire a tattooed biker #CHICK for Baron Corbin a while back?
I thought girls can't have tattoos in WWE or some dumb thing like that?
Hey wait, yeah. What happened to that lady? She had them up her neck and everything, iirc. Looked cool.

The racist girl Seth porked is as much a biker #CHICK as Corbin is a biker #DUDE and Graves is a #PUNK

Fuck man, again with the Graves poser talk. If you think he's a poser you should see Rev Pro's new guy...

Except Vince wants the Divas to be a platform for a reality show with the Bellas as the stars.

How was she racist? Any links or info?
The thing that bugs me about Graves is his recurring burial of Becky Lynch's Hot Topic rocker chick gimmick. Dude seems way too bitter about it. Did Becky give him blue balls?
Roy is a goof.
I'm not a comic book guy, does Roy turn into Red Arrow?
I've seen this come up a few times. Isn't it much more likely that they're pals and he's just having a bit of fun?
Graves has settled into commentary better than I would ever have expected. He's really shown Alex Riley up over the past few weeks, it's crazy how much time that guy has spent in the booth without showing any signs of improvement.

Oh damn. Didn't know what was her. I'm guessing she won't make TV for a while.

I think this is it. I like running announcer continuity like that, like Cole still liking Miz even when Cole was face (for a while) and Heenan always hating Hogan.
I'm glad he's doing well. Was hoping he'd make Riley obsolete, and he has. Unfortuantely that means Riley's back in the ring.
Arrow Season 2 is legit. Some of the best superhero stuff in recent years both in TV and film. The only issue is that Oliver's sister becomes massively annoying as it goes on.

I'm seriously working on a wrestling RPG. It will happen. It'll probably be released before that carny Wrestling X thing too.
"Black girl face" wasn't what annoyed her. I'm gonna go with not racist.

Hmm yeah good point. It's just weird that he does this as a face announcer, but that does make sense. Don't get me wrong though, I do like Graves as a commentator.
Fuck man, again with the Graves poser talk. If you think he's a poser you should see Rev Pro's new guy...
DAMN RIGHT I'M OVER
Arrow? I have to post this then
Only to a wrestling fan could a single gif represent an entire product. Arrow is a great show.
