Well, I'm only there for Takeover and Mania, and I don't know if anyone else is going.

You going to Takeover?
Wasn't planning to, but I had plans on Saturday that fell through, so I may grab a secondary market ticket.

If I were to meet up with you guys, I would deep arm drag Kaladin all over the place.
If I know what you mean...

I'd probably buy a CAN I GET A HUG? shirt to wear to a WrassleGAF meetup just to FREAK YOU GUYS OUT.
If I know what you mean...

I hate seeing people hate on people like Roman and Miz for wrestling a basic, safe style but then defending Ambrose wrestling a basic, safe style by trying to justify it as him trying to prolong his career which makes it very okay.
Roman and Miz have had better 2016/17s than Ambrose.

Roman isn't that safe or basic in his PPV matches either and when he wrestles on RAW they're either handicap matches or glorified squashes.

Miz I'll give you but frankly it doesn't matter; his story gets across in the ring better than most because of his excellent ability to sustain heat. You might be thinking of the Miz from around four years ago who was trapped in the deepest of mid card fever dreams endlessly repeating the same boring matches with the same people.

miz is fucking ric flair compared to roman reigns, both in ring and on mic


roman knows how to put on a 3.5* match like a robot, but I'd rather watch a 3* miz match because I actually care about the character and he at least tries to tell a story in the match.

What do you people think about Gorillaz?

Favorite band, the stuff from Humanz so far is already better than the entirety of Plastic Beach.

Roman Reigns is a great wrestler with fantastic bumping ability, athleticism, cool looking offence (in the era of the Young Bucks, spamming one move is totally fine imo), great facial expressions, nice looking strikes and is willing to get fucking stiff if the match calls for it. In any other promotion he'd be universally recognized as a world class performer, he's weighed down by his booking and position in the WWE.

Dude, Roman is a much better than the miz.

Why do you all think Ambrose is winning?

It's pretty obvious Ambrose will have the upper hand and then Corbin will cheat to win the title because Ambrose wasn't taking him seriously. Same thing Styles did and that falls in line with their Talking Smack interview.

I wonder if there will be surprises in the Andre Tussle. Wasn't Tatanka in that last year? Or was that the Rumble? Or am I thinking of a different thing completely? >_>

Let's look at the SDL stars who helped carry the brand on their backs since the brand split shall we?

Ambrose - Former WWE Champion who's worked the most dates the past 2 years, Ambrose is now in a midcard feud that's so low on the card it didn't even have a proper build on the last SDL before WM
StyLes - Former WWE Champion who's the best wrestler in the world, Styles is in SDL's most highlighted feud which is against Shane McMahon, yes, that Shane McMahon
Becky Lynch - Former Women's Champion who's now a contender in the "every SDL woman can compete" match which goes on during the preshow

Hell...

Heath SLater -
Former tag champion who's in the ATGMBR which is on the preshow

SDL

Tatanka was in the ARMBAR

More betting odds spoilers for you

Dean ain't winning

""""""""""""""""""""Betting odds"""""""""""""""""""""" had Taker beating Brock at Mania 30 until half an hour before the match

They've been building Corbin and Ambrose for months.

In fact I was looking over the card and trying to figure out the origin of most of these feuds and the only one with no real time (though some decent effort) is AJ and Shane.

This shit is kind of funny. L.
 
So I bit on Floslam for this month...

Not gonna bite on ROH or Progress though can't justify the individual ppv price point anymore

I mean you can get PROGRESS and SHIMMER combined for the $30 ROH costs, but i get you fam.

PROGRESS will show up Demand Progress at some point, so you can get to it later.

Personally, I've bought the SHIMMER and PROGRESS shows, my WWE Network expires on Tuesday, and I'm grabbing FloSlam tomorrow. Should be a good weekend. I'll catch the Wrestlecon stuff on Highspots maybe next month.

And even that traces back to post Rumble...
