Guys... they are building up the power of the spear... if Lesnar avoids the spear Goldberg is dead

Goldberg looks better now than he did 15 years ago, yet he can barely walk. Magic.

If only that spear looked powerful...
So he'll jump over it, F5 him and win the match immediately. Got it.
Nah it's easy when it's Goldberg.
Looks like Taker kicked a production guy in the face when he entered the ring tonight lmao.

I'd be surprised if Birk doesn't get speared right after the bell rings and kicks out this time or rolls out of the ring.
Someone is getting hit with a finisher right off the bat, I won't accept anything else

That promo has actually really confused me now.
If Brock ends up dominating Goldberg on Sunday, then tonight makes literally no sense. As it stands, all tonight proved was that Lesnar still can't hold himself toe to toe (in kayfabe) against Goldberg.
Why would you do that? Just keep the two of them apart until Sunday.

There should have been more brawls. Seems like the only one wanting to throw hands was Nia.

Because they're selling the power of the spear and the problems with Lesnar's aggressive confidence... He's going to have to fight smart to win.

Prediction: Goldberg immediately hits the spear and jackhammer, but Heyman pulls the ref out of the ring for a distraction, NOT causing a DQ for reasons, and then Lesnar hits half a dozen F5s in a row.

The best fuck you Vince could do is have Reigns go on last, win clean in a boring match with no turns, the crowd going full ECW by the end and have Taker raise Roman's hand with confetti all around them.
It would be perfect.

The salt levels would be hilarious. The crowd would be fucking crazy.
Yeah, I can't believe they didn't put the title on this guy.
Richard Simmons looks like shit
Goldberg isn't going to be taking 6 F5s.

beautiful. and like I said before have Taker give him his signature hat and duster and tell him that the dead man must live on. all this in a deafening chorus of boos.
Looking at all that whole card:
1. I forget Ambrose is the IC champ, what a fall from Miz.
2. They REALLY need to get a new picture for Nia Jax, she just looks like a face who's happy to be there! Charlotte is also smiling, but she has this heelish smile, it looks great.
3. Yes, AJ should be fighting someone better at Wrestlemania, but honestly, he's not doing too bad for himself at all. He's fighting a McMahon his first year in at the company, and this is after Shane's last WM opponent was The Undertaker. If anything, it shows that they have huge confidence in him (If his Championship run hadn't already shown you that).
Maybe this WM could be better than last year's. MAYBE.

Guys.
Wtf kind of Taker feud build up has this been?
Utter trash. Like, are they afraid for Roman? confused on forcing him to turn heel? afraid of the boos?
I barely even care or know about this feud and this is supposed to be the last Taker match ever lolol
What a shitty build up. Why are they even fighting again!?

Beautiful.
I wouldn't say anything involving Austin Aries is "guaranteed quality"
Ambrose does ok as a warmer.
Nia should be face, she would work out better and her personality may sell it better.
I agree on AJ, and I still have hopes of Angle coming in at the end to save Shane
Taker is in bad shape, he was complaining of hip pain back stage not tonight but last time he was on air.
They should have had brawls, tear apart like Taker and Brock did.
The only saving grace will be if we can get full heel Roman out of this.

Because Reigns eliminated him from the Royal Rumble and taunted him with own catch phrase like a real asshole and is now boasting about retiring him.
Huge step up from I want what Shawn had from a few years ago or fuck you Shane have fun from last year.

Sami in the ladder match with kevin owens and miz (and for some reason zack ryder winning lmao) was the highlight last wrestlemania for me tbh.
You know how excited everyone was the second time man landed on the moon? It'll be that on Sunday when Roman beats Taker at WM.

Just realized 3-4 of these matches are featured by GEEZERS. That's almost half the big matches.
It's like there is no confidence for the new guys to carry the show with each other. They have to be laced up with a 40+ year old guy.
This is such an odd Mania. Most these feuds just dont have the fire.
Like, there doesn't feel like there is anything major on the line or any long term interest... we already know where Taker, HHH, Goldberg are all headed, so it's like they are just ghosts or something.
The only feud that feels close to this is HHH/Seth, and Seth is actually looking pretty great, but the whole feud has been them backtracking on his injury return lol

0 chance of this happening.

It's an Undertaker feud...of course it's going to be shit if the person is not full-time. At least Taker showed up for this match...unlike his match with Bray. Still don't even know why Vince pulled him into that feud with Shane. You should be accustomed to shitty Taker build ups by now. Also, you know you care.
No, but for me, setup is nothing if the matches aren't good and I only see 2 good matches last year.
1P Kalisto (c) defeated Ryback
2P Team Total Divas (Brie Bella, Paige, Natalya, Alicia Fox, and Eva Marie) defeated Team B.A.D. and Blonde (Lana, Naomi, Tamina, Emma, and Summer Rae) by submission
3P The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) defeated The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley)
4 Zack Ryder defeated Kevin Owens (c), Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Stardust, The Miz, and Sin Cara
5 Chris Jericho defeated AJ Styles
6 The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, and Rusev) (with King Barrett) defeated The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods)
7 Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) defeated Dean Ambrose
8 Charlotte (with Ric Flair) defeated Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks
9 The Undertaker defeated Shane McMahon
10 Baron Corbin won by last eliminating Kane
11 The Rock defeated Erick Rowan
12 Roman Reigns defeated Triple H (c) (with Stephanie McMahon
So if they beat 2 this year wins!

Why aren't Roman's tag team champ cousins on the show again?
and good lord someone change Nia's graphic, is she a monster or Apollo Crews?

This is easily going to be better than last year's Mania
And this year is easily the Mania with the most honest to god long term builds in ages...

Friday Night Tykes is an awful show. They need Chrisley back on Mondays.
