That big surprise that was going to make fans happy for Mania that Dave and Bryan were excited about a month ago? Was Joe/Cena happening at Mania. Was planned, then got scrapped for the mixed tag match with Cena and Nikki

I mean the mixed tag should be OK.

Mania plans get scrapped/changed constantly, every year. Not worth getting too riled up about.

Skimming through the NJPW show up to the main event

This Suzuki Gun jobber with the mask and lady accompanying him to the ring is killing me

The microphone on a pole to "sing" his song

(ohhhh shit I forgot about ZSJ v Shibata. Sabre walking out right now)

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Oh dear lord, I think this might be the worst spine buster I've ever seen:

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

As a Total Divas fan having to watch so many seasons of Nikki Bella's depressing that John Cena won't propose, I'd mark out if Cena actually did somehow propose to Nikki.

But as a Total Divas fans, I also know it's never happening.

BRAKKUS!

Nice guy but when the bell rang, the rest was history.

BRAKKUS!

Lol. The all-time great, BRAKKUS.

 

[klonere]

My favorite Brakkus story is that he had to ask Savio Vega before his Brawl For All match if it was really a shoot.

What a guy.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lol. The all-time great, BRAKKUS.

Dr. Death and BRAKKUS were going to lead wwf to victory over wcw. wCw is lucky that things didn't go as planned or else they wouldn't have saw 2000. BRAKKUS is a future hof'er even more so than Rock or Taker. Talk about sheer brilliance.

 

[Bluekaveli]

My favorite Brakkus story is that he had to ask Savio Vega before his Brawl For All match if it was really a shoot.

What a guy.

And Savio told him it was a work because he knew that BRAKKUS would eat him for lunch.

LOL I mean just kind of going "is this for fucking real?" was a pretty appropriate response to Brawl4All.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Barakus from Best of the Best 2 was a great heel.

 

[Heroman]

 

[Tall4Life]

Joe only just came up to the main roster? Give it time?

Brand split makes it harder but it's possible down the line.

1) Two different brands.

2) They are in unrelated angles right now.

I said that because that was the original plan in January. I wanted it.

 

[The Strokes]

Tyler Breeze with proper booking would basically be a fantastic mid-card heel in the same vein as someone like Honkey Tonk Man or present day Miz is.

To think last year he was competing for the IC title

 

[Brian_FETO]

That ZSJ/Shibata match, god damn. Ending was "wtf" at first but I ended up digging it

The reversals in that match were ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as ZSJ's entrance music

 

[klonere]

Tyler should get on the juice and get that Jinder push.

Spoiler

I hated it when I thought it was just a NJ Cup build up but then I loved it when it was much more. It was nice to see Suzuki-gun pick up a new star

Nothing too crazy this week

Goldberg clearly didn’t need any help defeating Universal Champion Kevin Owens last night at WWE Fastlane, but he nevertheless received an assist from The Prizefighter’s jilted best friend, Chris Jericho, who distracted Owens and left the champion vulnerable to a swift Spear and Jackhammer that signaled the end of his title reign.

In that instant, Goldberg made his anticipated rematch with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania a Universal Championship Match, bolstering The Beast Incarnate’s desire to defeat the iconic Superstar on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

A hotly anticipated rematch just got even better. We’ll hear from the new Universal Champion tonight

During a tense confrontation with Triple H on Raw this past Monday night, Seth Rollins affirmed that he will be at WrestleMania. However, it remains unclear as to whether the injured Architect is ready to get back into the ring.

Rollins is clearly still suffering from the injury to his right knee, sustained when Samoa Joe ambushed the former WWE Champion — an assault masterminded by The Cerebral Assassin himself. Eager for retribution against both The Game and The Destroyer, Rollins is working harder than ever to get back into fighting shape.

We’ll get an in-depth, exclusive look at Rollins’ rehabilitation tonight on Raw, giving new insight into what lies ahead for “The Man” at The Showcase of the Immortals.

Even though he’s been utterly victimized by Braun Strowman in recent weeks, Roman Reigns soundly defeated The Monster Among Men last night at WWE Fastlane, becoming the first Superstar to conquer the behemoth via pinfall.

Strowman is no doubt fuming following this defeat, and will be on the warpath tonight on Raw in The Windy City. Will Reigns cross paths with this rampaging

Raw Women’s Champion Bayley might have snapped Charlotte Flair’s pay-per-view undefeated streak at WWE Fastlane, but she didn’t necessarily do it alone. As was the case on Feb. 13, when The Huggable One pinned The Queen to begin her title reign, The Boss ultimately helped tip the scales in the lovable Superstar’s favor.

In light of the circumstances of that victory, Bayley’s Road to WrestleMania might be bumpier than anticipated. Expect tensions to rise in the Team Red Women’s division tonight.

Don’t miss any

 

[Gurrry]

The more I think about last night the more I realize how shitty it really was.

Build up Nia as a monster.... have her get rolled up EZ by Sasha.

Build up Braun as a monaster.... get Roman Reigns'ed.

Build up Charlotte's PPV streak.... lol Bayley wins.

Build up KO for 6 months as a champion... give the championship to a part timer who cant go for more than a minute in ring.


Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking?

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

BRAKKUS!

Nice guy but when the bell rang, the rest was history.

There's someone on reddit doing 30-days of forgotten wrestlers. This is the first one I remember as the other 5 were all from 03 onward

Their problem is they start things with no idea of how they end

Then when they get "streaks" they play into them because it's the easy storyline and makes booking easy

Then they realize they still have nowhere to go with them and the streaks are getting in the way of other ideas

Idiots

Totally true. I feel like every streak they build (maybe other than Taker's) are completely unintentional.

I really didnt care about Charlottes streak, but the Braun and Nia thing is inexcusable. They finally built up 2 people who looked like complete bad asses, and they threw that all away. Especially with Braun.

Little did we know that Roman was Braun all along.

 

[Kaladin]

We all know KO was a placeholder champ till Finn Balor came back. Nobody knew how awesome KO / Jericho would be when that started......and I don't think anyone knew about Goldberg.

Fuckin LOL

That's the Iconic Superstar to you

 

[Raw64life]

Imagine yourself from 2 years ago being told "the main event of WM 2 years from now will be Bill Goldberg vs. Lesnar for a new Universal Championship they made up".

 

[shanafan]

I guess GAF doesn't want Angle in any future WWE matches since is an old part-timer then.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I don't want him because I don't want to see him to suffer anymore concussions.

I guess GAF doesn't want Angle in any future WWE matches since is an old part-timer then.

I don't want to potentially watch him die in the ring, no.

I don't want him because I saw him in TNA and he wasn't that great then as a full timer.

As a Total Divas fan having to watch so many seasons of Nikki Bella's depressing that John Cena won't propose, I'd mark out if Cena actually did somehow propose to Nikki.

But as a Total Divas fans, I also know it's never happening.

It's still within the realm of possibility that this sets up the ultimate heel turn for Cena. She proposes, and he hems and jaws until the Raw after Mania. They stall until 10:50, and then Cena turns her down. Nikki then forms the Anti-Cena Ensemble with all the mooks on Raw, and there's your feud up to SummerSlam.

Little did we know that Roman was Braun all along.

Undertaker's was also unintentional, they didn't plan it or anything. They just noticed when he was around 9-0 or 10-0 that hey, he's never lost, then a few years later it finally became a thing for someone to try and break that streak. I think Orton was the first explicitly built around trying to break it as the storyline.

 

[shanafan]

He has been doing fine in WCPW, right?

We don't want him to die, no.

Meanwhile, self-doubting Rusev needs to be updated:

I think Cena should get down on one knee and then Miz kicks his head off for amazing heel heat

Wait till he can't beat Jinder Mahal.

Kurt Angle hasn't been 'fine' in about 15 years

That Angle AMA on Wreddit really killed some kayfabe

for example the "milk" he used when milkomania was running wild was actually just water with white food coloring...

I think we already knew that.

A) That's either water or very thin milk.

B) Why waste that much milk?

BRAKKUS was about 10 years too late.

Next thing we're gonna find out that DX didn't actually drop shit on the McMahons

I think we already knew that.

A) That's either water or very thin milk.

B) Why waste that much milk?

Also Milk sours really quickly, it'd be disgusting to wash out
