After carrying Smackdown for half a year, AJ is bout to put WM on his back doh.
I can see him working his ass off to make it a classic, or die trying. Or reduce his career significantly.

I think that about Brock/Berg.

I have zero doubt whether the two will work their asses off to make it work but it's just a story that need not be told and a wars of AJ's time. Maybe year 3 will be his year. We need Nak and AJ to main a wrestlemania.
BEST STRIKER IN THE GAME
It's not a bad event overall.
I forgot about this picture. It's hilarious, Sephzilla. Hilarious!
But Dean is a good wreslter.
He's an "ok" wrestler, but an excellent personality.

I always remember WM23 as "that one where Shawn Michaels forcefully rips a four star match out of John Cena".
It's a good thing you didn't say Best PURE Striker in the game. We know that's Mark's yard, son

Jericho got worked by Eric Andre. Fucking mark
I met Eric Andre at karaoke night at my old regular bar in Brooklyn. I was sad to discover he is a gigantic douche bag in real life.
Rather have low expectations/ think something is shit and be surprised when it isn't. Then be all hyped and be disappointed.
The WM matches look shit
But it makes for a shit environment and atmosphere where everyone is a Debby Downer.

Now I'm sad. Good job, Jabronay!
I don't get down over trival stuff like wrestling/films etc. If it's shit I call it shit and move on, if it's good I may watch it again. I have other things to worry about then that stuff.
I don't really mind AJ vs Shane that much. For me it's simply the WM card looks meh.
So from RudoReels I have ended up with the following since discovering them at Christmas:
Best of 80's/90's Tokyo Dome Vol 1 + 2.
This is J (Super J Cup Anthology)
Best of Ric Flair in Japan
Shinsuke Nakamura Special
Wrestle Kingdom 8
G1 Climax 1992 Complete
NOAH for Dummies
Michinoku Pro for Dummies 1st Edition
Barbed Wire and Explosions for Dummies.
The Barbed Wire and Explodions set is trash due do much of it being 10th Generation VHS transfers and lame Onita 2014 matches. So little is covered in it especially from the FMW and BJPW days.
The NOAH set is incredible, genuinely incredible. The Tokyo Dome sets are masterful and my favourite by far. Super J Cup Anthology is well worth the money also as you get the J-Cup stuff too.
The Michinoku Pro set needed more content and the Ric Flair set has too much as Flair has the same match with every opponent from 1979 to 1996, more refined choices rather than everything would have been appreciated.

PWRevolver vs. WrestleCircus Midnight ish after WrestleMania is a go.

That's because AJ is going to carry him to a great match
It's just that Shane gets so sloppy in the ring, he makes his opponents look bad a lot, and those punches he throws are awful it's like the worst wanna be shoot punches in the history of our sport.
when Shane got shoryukend in the air by Roman, he should have hung them up. Despite what Vince thinks wrestling Shane is not some great honor.
Accurate.
Taker vs Batista was fun. I had forgotten how well Taker moved for such a big dude. Batista always delivered with power moves and intensity too.
New Breed is a terrible stable. No one here got anywhere.
For a moment I thought she was Ivanka. Not that would've made anything better.

It's nostalgia for me. Trump being apart of this is a shame.
That's the irony in this all. What most of us feel as a wasted opportunity to truly showcase AJ Styles at WrestleMania, is actually what Vince views as one of the highest honors he could give to his talent.
Putting AJ in a WrestleMania match against Shane shows how high they are on AJ. It's just too bad when they're high on talent they'll often push their bad booking ideas onto them.

Looking at that poll of matches at WM.... man this card is not good.
Aries/Neville is the only match I can look at and be certain it'll be any good.

This should still be better than last year.

Shut me up, bitch!
Vince is so weird. There's moments like this where he sounds like one of the warmest sounding bosses out there, then there's other times he's an unpredictable psychopath.
I guess it kind of makes sense considering how fucked up he is from his upbringing.
He's treated you well, Zach. Look what's he's given you in WWE post-WCW!

Last year had decent wrestling with shitty finishes. And the main event was terrible.
I don't even really see decent wrestling on this card. There's a significant weak link in every match other than the CW and Owens/Jericho matches.
Tag titles (Enzo and Cass suck)
Roman vs. Undertaker (Taker looks like he can barely move)
Shane vs. AJ (Shane)
Raw Women's Title (Nia is awful)
SD women's title (clusterfuck)
Battle Royal (clusterfuck)
Rollins vs. Triple H (gonna be overbooked as fuck given Rollins' injury; could still be good though)
Bray vs. Orton (Orton is just boring. He's good, but he's boring.)
Cena/Nikki vs. Miz/Maryse (Maryse is not good at all and this will likely be more angle than match)
Ambrose vs. Corbin (Corbin is okay at best)
Goldberg vs. Brock (might go over four minutes which means it'll be a trash fire)
🤔

It sounds sappy, but I think Vince is a guy who wants to be loved.
And yeah, if his upbringing is to be believed then that makes sense.
