No salvaging Roman as a face after that Match. He just needs to destroy Taker with chair shots, etc. Just embrace it. 10 minutes of a post-match Heel turn.

Absolutely.... like utterly annihilate Taker... Like if for whatever reason they really want Lesnar to be the only one to have ever beaten Taker at Mania then just have Reigns kill Taker post match after Taker offers the handshake....

 

[ghostjoke]

So Mania matches solidified as of tonight...

- Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar (WWE Universal Championship)
- Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair (WWE Raw Women's Championship)
- Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows vs. The Winner of Next Week's Match Between Enzo & Cass vs. Sheamus & Cesaro (WWE Raw Tag Team Championship)
- Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens (WWE United States Championship)
- The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns ('Who Runs the Yard' Grudge Match)
- Bray Wyatt vs. The Winner of This Week's Match Between Randy Orton & AJ Styles (WWE Championship)
- Triple H vs. Seth Rollins (pending Seth's recovery from his torn MCL)

Am I missing anything? The Cena/Nikki vs. Miz/Maryse match hasn't been officially announced yet. Neither has AJ vs. Shane (obviously). Big Show vs. Shaq is still being negotiated. And, of course, there's the ARMBAR.

WWE sound department vs. the boos, an 8hr ironman match.

 

[excelsiorlef]

How was Jericho vs Joe?

A solid TV match, good action but nothing out of this world, with a really clever ending that worked for both guys

 

[Zach]

So did Vince McMahon die in that limo explosion or what?

 

[Tall4Life]

So did Vince McMahon die in that limo explosion or what?

yes

He didn't die, but he lost his eyesight.


Edit: Whoa! Conflicting reports!

 

[Zach]

Whose side am I on?!

 

[Simply Sami]

Sad not to see Finn tonight. Guess they are holding him until next week seeing as they already had a lot going on tonight.

I think it's likely he could be the replacement for Rollins.

Triple H wants a match at Wrestlemania. Shane McMahon seems to be facing AJ Styles now.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Seriously they've gotta start booking surprises on ppv again. These cheap rating pops suck.

bayley beating sharlit was a pretty big surprise m9

 

[The Strokes]

WWE censored the bitch of Paul on the YouTube video, lolol.

Edit: wait, did Old Man Taker showed up?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Finn will probably turn on Seth, completing the stable

And because everyone liked the first part (Shield vs Evolution), HHH thinks everyone will like the second part, when Creationism (Finn/Joe/Owens) valiantly puts over the reunited Shield, led by the new conqueror god Roman Reigns and Dean (now drafted back to their side)

 

[blackaroni]

There really wasn't a WrestleMania challenge from Taker, was there? Corey said that they're in a match, but they just looked at the sign. Did Corey fuck up? I know the match is implied, but typically Roman would challenge Taker next Monday and Taker accepts the following week.

I wanted to see it Work is killing me, even this really good Raw couldn't keep me up.

Yes

Yes the match was basically made tonight.

 

[cordy]

I thought Goldberg was really selling that F5. Then I remembered Goldberg can't sell. He doesn't know how to take a bump and was in pain lol.

 

[blackaroni]

Yes the match was basically made tonight.

Taker is booking matches and showing respect telepathically now.

The match is happening.

One time the announcement consisted of 10 full minutes of Taker walking out, about to say something, HHH walking out, about to say something, them saying nothing, and them looking at the sign. That was enough, and that was less than what happened here.

Finn moves a shit ton of merch, not happening

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Were the "Holy Shit"s when Taker appeared supposed to mean "Holy Shit he looks awful"?

Donald, is that you?

That sounds awful...And hilarious. It's about time to get a Hoveround.

Were the "Holy Shit"s when Taker appeared supposed to mean "Holy Shit he looks awful"?

"Holy shit he finally made it to the ring."

 

[Bluekaveli]

No, it meant shut your mouth and know your role mark ass jabroni.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The swerve should have been that Roman and Taker stare at each other, then stare at the Mania sign, then stare back at each other and start making out.
"Why don't you claim my backyard, big dog?"

 

[Heroman]

Dat mullet

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Get 'em, Blue.

Gimmick posters around here not knowing anything about respect for the ORIGINAL BIG DAWG

 

[blackaroni]

Tag match btwn Roman and Flo Rida v Taker and Paige for the deed to the house and the yard.

You know it! If he was alive today instead of passing away young, he would still be natural!

 

[excelsiorlef]

WWE brought him aboard, setting up an expected clash with Reigns, but with a twist. Strowman's involvement leaves open the possibility that a Triple Threat match is on the way. That would be a sure sign Undertaker is on his last legs if WWE doesn't think he can handle a one-on-one contest anymore.

I am impressed at how much wrestling journalism is borderline wrestling fan fiction...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...s-grades-reaction-and-highlights-from-march-6

On what planet did what happened tonight suggest a triple threat match lol.

 

[DMczaf]

I wish I had 10% of Rude's swag

 

[Zabka]

The winner of the "Big Dog" match at Mania gets to have puppies with Braun "Little Bitch" Strowman.

Lmao. It's so bad

 

[ReiGun]

Catching up on Raw. Why are they chanting CM Punk at Goldberg? Fuckin' Chicago.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lmao. It's so bad

Just more to my theory that the LAW people are the only ones who actually watch the product.

I mean I guess technically Strowman's presence opened the possibility of a triple threat from 0% to 1%

 

[Dark Ninja]

Yes

I love Dark Emma's Kenshiro/Saiyan Armor.

Yuji Nagata replacing Honma in the New Japan Cup

[sf2fanatic]

Tune into Raw. See's Steph on TV.


Blue, i think I'm out for the evening. I'll stick to SD

 

[Adree]

Weird that they call it The Rings of Saturn. Saturn never touched the face that's why it was called the rings cause he formed a ring with his arms...


/Pendantry

God I thought I was the only one who noticed. It annoyed me since I loved Saturn as a kid.

 

[Mahonay]

WWE legitimately depresses me. I love wrestling so much but this shit actually makes me want to cut my wrists every god damned week and twice a week on PPV weekends.

Stop watching RAW.

Reading the recaps, fucking lol.

THE BATTLE OF THE YARD.
