Could not watch RAW, but got done watching a bunch of clips on Youtube.
What the hell happened in the Dana vs Bayley match. Even in the Youtube edit it look like a mess. I originally thought Bayley got injured and they ended the match early... which would suck. I now think all three people in the ring botched the finish at the same time.

If they're going all in on WCW nostalgia, they need to get Jericho and Big Show involved since they're the last WCW guys on the payroll.
And they need Tony Schiavone at the announce table. He can't be any worse than Cole.

I'm sure most of them were happy to be apart of a moment like that, one of the last few Goldberg segments in wrestling. Not to mention kids who may not know who he is seeing faces they like admiring this weird old guy may've helped with driving home that this guy is a big deal.
Watching more old NJPW with Steiners vs Mutoh & Hase from the 1995 Jan 4th Tokyo Dome show. A match Meltzer gave a high rating to and it was in fact a terrible match.
Clumsy, dull and as awkward as it could get. Lots of pointless ground work and then half assed offence which perplexed Scott as it didn't pop the crowd. Loads of weird stuff like that.
At one point Rick pinned Hase for the 3 but the ref stopped at 2 and just stood up as Rick wasn't the legal man.
If it was great once it hasn't stood the test of time at all.

I think two grown men would struggle to lift that sack of meat.
Edit: Something wrong with me. I must have just sat and watched Goldberg hit himself in the face with that kids ass like twenty times over. It's so awkward.....
Power vs Power. When worlds collide. Brock vs Goldberg could be ace. High intensity, sudden urges of POWER~!
Unlike most I don't judge until it's done and dusted. Those who are whinging already are still watching so why don't you see how it plays out before being full of doom and gloom?
You can't help it. You need it.

I'm hyped for Brockberg
I actually love their Mania XX match for its wrestlecrap quality. The match plus the crowd reaction makes it hilarious to watch.
Exciting to see them do one for serious.
I wish I was still living in Ontario right now. I'd kill to go to Survivor Series, Toronto crowds are a carny smarked as fuck, being part of that Summerslam 04 crowd was a blast and a half.

It's funny I basically called the booking of that match to my cousin a few weeks before the match.
I said here's how it goes down, missed spear, Jackhammer reversal into diamond cutter for 2, second jackhammer for 3.
Low and behold lol.

Wow.. Goldberg cut a good promo and didn't sound corny as a face. I like it.

I was a pro wrestler on the UK scene for a few years and then opened a small training school which is now defunct.
I must admit that once you learn the ropes it does get very easy to predict the way a match is going to go.
I only genuinely pop nowadays if they legit surprise me in a match. Doesn't happen too often.

He had good moments don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed his performance in (I think) royal rumble 1992. I also think his match vs Ricky Steamboat at WM3 is one of the best matches ever performed....
That being said, I couldn't stand his persona and I just don't hold him in as high regard as the other 5 I listed.

Holy shit, just got caught up.
Was expecting Goldberg's return to be a train wreck, but damn, he cut a good promo, looks good, and actually got me interested in this match.
Who would've thought?

Agreed! Just sucks we already know the outcome.
Haha, yeah its all a matter of taste of course. For me he is the best ever, loved his in-ring work, loved his promos, loved his look. On the Bret Hart-scale i would give him close to 10 in all.

Last big surprise was Lesnar beating Taker...
I half paid attention to that match becaude it seemed obvious and I was frankly bored of the Taker mania formula as you can only sell a maybe this time something different will happen so many times and after the back to back to back to back Taker vs Kliq run I was over it, I didn't even bother with Mania 29 and Punk. So going in I'm like formula is obvious Tombstone for 2, F5 for 2, second F5 for 2, Last Ride maybe for 2, maybe second tombstone for 2, 3rd F5 reversal into tombstone for 3...
Except that 3rd F5 hits and so I'm think wow another kick out coming? So there I am reading something on my phone expecting the obvious: 1...2... I look up expecting the kickout and then bam 3! Total mark out moment... my complete disinterest with that match and my assumption of an obvious kickout made that the best 3 count in history for me.
I think having wrestlers act like fans is weird.
Disagree Guy

I couldn't agree more. The match itself was shit. That three count and the crowd went silent.....
Then for ages after you just see pictures of gaping mouthed fans. Grown men cried... It was truly one of the biggest moments in wrestling history.

Member
Indeed and after rewatching the match I actually kinda enjoy the match too, the slow pace worked for me but totally get why it's shit to most. 5 star ending though, Heyman's facial reaction is great as well... but yeah that dead silent crowd should go into the WWE Hall of Fame.
I cheered like mad... because I was so over the Streak (both HHH matches bored me because I didn't give a flying fuck and I sure as shit didn't want two of them back to back) and I'm a huge Lesnar mark even in his current Suplex City incarnation.

That was literally my least favorite Mania match of all time because of how garbage that booking was, stupid run ins galore, the nWo helping Sting? HHH winning because get fucked WCW apparently? Garbage. Hated it hated it hated it.
I want Brock vs Goldberg to end in a draw. Both spear each other at the same point like two raging bulls colliding and neither can get up.
It's stupid but I don't want Goldberg to lose.

Yep. It's really awful. It's even worse with JBL screaming the whole time about WCW and the Monday Night Wars. I knew it was going to be a shitshow when they randomly announced before the match that it was suddenly No Disqualification.
What capped it off is that HHH and Sting shook hands after the match, only for HHH to come back later for the Rock/Rousey angle and talk shit about him.
Disagree Guy

Would you be happy with Samoa Joe entering the arena and absolutely destroying both competitors mid-match?
A) Arguably the greatest entrance into WWE ever
B) Sets him up as a heel monster
C) Goldberg doesn't technically lose
D) A triple threat between those three could be absolutely incredible....
Yeah I have a problem..... I NEED SAMOA JOE

Showing that wrestlers were once and ever are fans, encourages the WWE universe to achieve their dreams of being a future NXT hopeful, friend.

Actually I take it back it's my second most hated Mania match the first is HHH vs Booker T...
And yeah the handshake made literally zero sense and a fucking sledgehammer finish?
That it became about the Monday Night Wars was painful to watch (it didn't start that way... why did it go there?) WCW had been dead for over a fucking decade, you have so much story you could tell with those two guys and instead you rehash something from over a decade ago in a hodgepodge sort of way. Again nWo B&W helping Sting is duuuumb, maybe they could have done a Wolfpac reunion but Lugar is a mess and Konan was probably too busy fighting with Disco Inferno on twitter... I get it Vince ya put WCW out of business. Thanks for the reminder.
Wrestling has proven if you do anything with the right set up then anything is possible.
The live crowd will either make or break this Goldberg v Brock match. But yes more Joe would be great.

In that case let's just be thankful it's not going to be in New York. Those fans would brutalise that match.
Triple Threat?
