I really feel bad about going to Mania this year. It just seems like it's going to be the most anti-climactic Mania since like...11.

How was The Monday Night Raw this Monday at night, live? I glanced at Dean Amberrose imitating the Truth of R and did not believe the show could rise to any newer depths.

This is probably the most apt comparison. Watching that Nash Hall of Fame video and all I could think was that Diesel was never as cool as they portrayed him to be. Nash didn't really become cool until he went to WCW.

Wasn't Vinny Vegas more over?

Diesel got the strap because every other big guy was getting busted on steroids or Vince thought guys were too old.

Ongoing Smackdown spoilers:


Jerry Lawler and Byron Saxton came out as broadcast team members. The Smackdown pyro shot off, which was unexpected. Eden served as the ring announcer...

1. Jimmy Uso beat Cesaro, Big E, and Fernando. Jimmy pinned Cesaro. A decent but spotty match. Each of the respective tag partners were at ringside.

AJ Lee came out for a promo. She explained her love for the Diva's Championship and said Paige loved it too. AJ said the Bella Twins used that love to turn them against each other. AJ invited Paige to fight with her at WrestleMania. Paige entered and discussed beating AJ a year ago. Paige and AJ talked about how hard it will be to fight the Bella Twins. Paige is upset about AJ being away for months.

They're finding common ground together in their mutual hatred of losing. They almost shook hands, but the Bella's music played. Enter the Bella Twins. Nikki Bella and Brie Bella discussed that they're sisters. Brie explained that she has forgiven Nikki and will always forgive her. Because they're sisters, you know? Nikki said Brock Lesnar worked more days than AJ last year

Nikki said all the women in the locker room want to be Bella's. AJ said they're D-list failed actresses. Paige said they prefer to be the freaks, geeks, weirdos, misfits, and oddballs. Paige said they're not afraid to be themselves. AJ said they're what real women look like and at WrestleMania they're going to kick some ass. Nikki said real women fight, then said they'd see "you bitches" at WrestleMania.

2. John Cena, Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns vs. Big Show, Bray Wyatt, Kane, and, Seth Rollins. A long match. Roman had a nice comeback that was cheered quite a bit. Bryan pinned Show to close the tag. Bryan closes show with Yes-ing.

Man fuck this
 
Man, they really ducked up with this whole road to mania... Bryan vs Brock would have been hype as fuck.

On a side note didn't realize so many indies followed mania. Has this been a normal thing?

All those great promo videos....


NOTHING on the card this year has even the slightest bit of magic to it.
Shitty writing, shitty booking, several part-timers (or in some cases, one match per year), and the same continued lackluster midcard and tag division.

I caught the end of the show and laughed. Any sensible person says "When Roman pulls the belt away from Brock, Brock then goes in for a takedown and they brawl to end the show", yet they did that?
