I hardly think plucking the best guy in the Smackdown side of things out of the most certain possibility of having a well deserved title match at Mania to fulfill your ego as a shit wrestler is being better than Steph.

Business? No one is subbing to the network to see that match.

At least Stephanie is going to fire Dunn the minute she's in control. Didn't Shane want him and Dunn to get a majority of creative control a few years back?

Because we're not getting paid for that, we're paying to see that.
That's wrong. Or at the very least you can't prove it.

I miss AJ 2016. 2017 has been pretty forgettable.

It's only been three months and the two high profile matches he's had (vs Cena and EC) have been great. AJ in the first three months of 2016 during his WWE career pretty much did nothing either.

No one is subbing in general. They have been stuck around 1.5 mm subs forever.
They are giving mania away for free an no one cares

Second year in a row they're giving it away. Still 1.5 mil
Wrestling fans are stuck forever thinking we're in the middle of a boom period when every statistic available says the opposite
Angle vs Shane wasn't OK either.

Well I'd guess...
- It was at KotR, not Mania
- Angle was pulling double (or even triple?) duty in the tournament
- Shane was younger back then as well as a more present fixture on the show in and out the ring
- Holy fuck those suplex spots
For all I know people may well have been complaining at the time.

Remember when people thought, in kayfabe, shane coming in was really going to clean things up and we'd finally see the end of the McMahon era in WWE? HA

I don't like how Wrestlemania has become WWE giving away a participation award to their roster. Its killing the card with these multi-person matches and it would also expose Part-timerMania when 90% of your full time roster wouldn't be on the card. If your not over that year your not on Mania simple. Do better next year or the company can see why this person wasn't important enough to be on it and give them a push.

a premier talent like the big dog having to wrestle a washed up ridiculous looking old cunt in the undertaker is far worse than aj styles rasslin shame mcmahon. at least that will be at the very least an entertaining match even if it doesn't have the 'work rate'. they will go through tables and shit and shane will jump off something high and it will be a good old time.
but Apollo Crews needs his #WrestleManiaMoment

Wasn't that a work? I even remember people caugh Orton tellin Shane's kids that he was gonna be fine.

That doesn't prove anything. Orton just trying to keep those kids calm.

AJ vs Shane is so weird. I dont know what it accomplishes for either guy outside of it being a spectacle.
And the story is "guy gets screwed out of his opportunities after winning matches" vs "businessman who screwed him"

I don't know, that whiplash seemed pretty real, so did his acting. Orton was just being a good guy.
it's like austin vs vince if somehow austin was the heel and vince was the face

Fair enough.
It all boils down to AJ raging on Shane. That's literally it, where having a Mania match because AJ be mad.

He is still part of the apparently incompetent office.
Even then they kind of killed the heat on Talking Shoot afterwards with Bryan being like "yeah these things happen, Ive been frustrated after matches too"
Austin was the heel and McMahon the face...In early 1997.
I guess a positive side effect of WM being in Orlando is everyone in NXT and most of the main roster at this point will be at home during WM week.

I Dont mean to drive by post on AJ. I know the RR was a great match, its just the wrong guy won, and I really don't care for what they have in store for him at WM, I mean he doesn't have too many WM left. Just sucks. He and Nakamura could have stole the show. He and Joe for the 99 time would have been better than Shane, jesus.
just upset.
