Wasn't overly impressed with the show. I enjoyed Sting/HHH until the run-in garbage started. Geriatric overload. Wanted to see Sting go over, but honestly that was never gonna happen with this company. The handshake was ridiculous. No interest in Rock/HHH. What else?
- Cena wins LOL, enough said. Was never gonna be any other way though. I only half pay attention during Cena matches like these because nothing out of the ordinary is ever gonna happen. Terrible ending. If it continues to sideline Cena from being anywhere near the main event, then I'm all for his having the third tier belt.
- Ladder match was okay, but I feel like that match has gone as far as it's ever gonna go and should be shelved. How soon will Bryan start jobbing?
- Divas match - shrug. Bored with every iteration of Bellas/Paige/AJ.
- Battle royale - couldn't care less
- Tag titles- Usos lost, all is well
- Orton/Seth - ehh. Nice finish.
- Bray/Taker - don't need to ever see Taker again. They need to let Bray go over at some point, you'd think, or they risk making the guy a joke. Which has probably already happened for a lot of people. The whole angle was a waste of time from start to finish.
- Title match: having Roman no sell Brock's offense in order to look strong, and then get destroyed by one curbstomp looked a bit dumb, but whatever.

I just feel like that's a waste of time. But whatevs. If it gets people watching...

Rousey having an actual match at Mania would pop a fucking ridiculous buyrate, don't sleep on the box office power

So is there any chance in hell we'll see Rousey vs. HHH?

Enjoyable
Will Raw tomorrow

i wish we still had animated avatars :/
Not until she retires undefeated in UFC in a few years after destroying every woman who has ever wanted to be in MMA
You'd think that but the actual wrasslin segments were just fine. I would have been just as happy if the match had no run ins.
That being said I loved the run ins. Not enough ref bumps or swerves to be late period WCW but close.
Rousey is a huge star, Rock is a huge star. Together, that's a waste of time?

-Heyman will talk about Brock and a rematch at Extreme Rules...probably a three-way
-HHH will somehow retcon his handshake with Sting
Anything else?

Rousey is a huge star, WWE would be insanely lucky to get her involved in any way

Why does Kevin always pose like that lol
That's pretty wicked. Good for him.
To me it is. But that's why I said "if it gets people watching..."
Bryan is clearly working with Ziggler still. I really don't know what they'll do with Shameless. Maybe make him an Authority goon?

Sting @Sting
Maybe I'll wrestle HHH sometime. I'd like to put him over.

It was a great Mania. Wish Sting won but they gotta find a way to kick WCW in the groin at every chance they get.
Still waiting on the rest of my Nitros.

Can Brock be announced suplex city now?
Like Tyler breeze

Did he get a rematch after losing the US belt? He can feud with Cena.
It looks that way. And I sure hope so. Let it go for a while, man. Bryan and Ziggler can probably put on some matches, but it'd probably be better if they didn't try to fit everything into one match.
My man.

The way some fans boo him, I wouldnt be surprised if some ducked under their chairs thinking it was a legit attack.
Some fans are really, really weird with kayfabe
I'm sure if they do a mixed tag they'd do a few spots, but the point would be for The Rock and HHH to wrestle 80-90% of the match.
Rousey wrestling a singles match would require a lot more time investment for her and would be a bigger injury risk. Plus the match wouldn't be nearly as good.
Mixed tag gives you most of the buyrate/exposure benefit of Rousey with little injury risk for the UFC.

I think the funniest part is that everyone would have predicted this had they been aware that there was some reason you could cash in mid-match.
Still.

Suplex city vs Moscow needs to happen.
Mania Review:
Tag Titles: not on the main show = garbage
Battle Royal: not on the main show = garbage
IC Title Match: Bryan won: A+
Orton vs Rollins: good match that had Rollins carry Orton through the whole thing because that's how it works. B
HHH vs Sting: i got to see DX in 2015 A+
Divas Match: lol, women am i right?
Cena vs. Rusev: good match but Cena won so it doesn't count F
Undertaker vs Bray: i dunno, insert joke about Bo Dallas here. D
Brock vs. Reigns:Reigns didn't win A+
overall grade: Reigns didn't win so i'll be renewing my network subscription

They are both two of the most bankable people in terms of popping a buyrate. Rock is proven (especially if they do Rock/Brock at 32, that'll be a huge one), and Rousey is probably UFC's only truly mainstream star right now.
tldr; it would

Great Mania. And now we get Raw after Mania. Hoping for some fun angles and debuts (Neville, Charlotte, and Balor all possible). Seth's gonna get a hero's welcome.
Why didn't Owens shoft off his tattoo? Missed mark out moment for him there.

Cure, I'd recommend you set aside some time next week.
Why, you ask?
Because you're going to WRESTLER'S COURT

Cure, you had better not be talking about something illegal in this upstanding community.
But seriously, the whole "I don't want to pay for this but am still entitled to it so I'll steal it" mentality is so dumb. Not accusing anyone, just pointing it out in general.

Then by all means, they should do it to it. Seems boring to me personally, though.
Oh, and did any of you nuts gif the Flair chop to Steamboat? >_>
