One of the funniest things from tonight is that Bray Wyatt is about to feud with Lesnar and they killed that motherfucker dead tonight. Like absolutely dead.

The thing with Reigns is that based on his mannerisms he would actually make a really good, cocky as hell heel. I bet you he's been requesting the turn for quite some time now. It sucks that he has been denied the chance to really shine as a heel.

The women's triple threat match was the highlight of mania for me. I legitimately almost teared up as to how great it was compared to everything else that happened.

I was thinking that too, but Betfair says I won. I just withdrew the money and am running away with it.

The most profitable part of WWE's business is its cable deal. The only people that can really hurt them are Neilsen households.

One hell of a mess. First I'm thinking Rock is trying to get a face turn out of him, then he buries him, and after that both he and Cena bury him.
I just wanna know what goes on in Vince's head.
This is Wrestlemania. Maybe the one event that lapsed fans like myself actually tune in. Lots of people signing up for WWE Network just to watch tonight - as we see in this thread - but could maybe be swayed to keep tuning in and give you more money.
And you deliver a show that does nothing but bore and upset fans. Even I could tell that people like Sasha Banks and New Day were more over with the crowd. And the hate for Reigns was PALPABLE. And yet, you do nothing to show you care about what fans want. Crazy.

There were two good matches on this card. This wasn't a "why can't you just stop being a smark and enjoy something for once" this was "even with my brain taking a vacation it called from Hawaii and was like what the fuck is your problem this is shit and completely unfun"
From his interviews, he isn't requesting anything. He shows up to work and does whatever he's told.

WWE may be out of touch, but it's not because the fan favorites didn't win.
As if he wasn't dead already.

I'm one of them. Aside from some results that I didn't like, I thought it was a great show.

Correct me if I missed it, but has Roman been on talk shows or any type of promotional material, hyping himself prior to this match?

Absolutely. Loved everything about it (even though I disagree with the finish). The presentation was superb and the match delivered on it.
It was what a WM match should be really. All the hype and build resulting in a great match with heat and a grand presentation.
Ugh.

There was zero payoff to established storylines and nobody that connects with the crowd in any way won apart from Undertaker.
Well voting with my wallet still isn't gonna change anything because I watch smackdown now and I watch raw if sasha,new day,AJ or some other guys I like are on.
I'm in this boat, change the results of Jericho/Styles and the women's match, it's a 8/10 mania. Also at least hint the Roman heel turn
God awful. I've only been back into WWE for a couple of years, but they're losing me fast. They need a good RAW tomorrow night or I'm out until I hear some good news. Zack Ryder is the one that makes the least sense to me. Corbin, Reigns, Shaq, Tatanka...just what the hell...

Thought the main event was great. Thoroughly entertained. MOTY.
LOL
I would have bet $100, no lie, trips always uses it X brings it out

fuckin' called it, man
He won the title and there was a big celebration!
He apparently walked out on his own.
Yeah of course not. Def not the Flair interference we've seen every week the past month in the women's matches.

Charlotte is a heel. If she was going to win tonight, that was the way to do it. You can disagree with her winning (I do), but if they decided to keep the belt on her, they had the right finish.

I loved it. Rock buried the shit out of him both on the mic and in the ring. Bray should be thanking him since it's the only way he'd get on the WM card.
Well, that was pretty shit. The women's title match was great and the best thing of the night overall, the last half of the Taker/Shane match was awesome for obvious reasons (being a fan of Shane helps too) and the spotfest ladder match was pretty entertaining.
I think Reigns is bad but neither do I have enough of a stake in WWE to bother booing him. However, that main event was absolutely fucking dire.

Of course you wouldn't be able to tell from his interviews which are in a controlled environment. I mean internally as in talent meetings and with agents and stuff like that.

Actually I was subbed since the network came out. But its clear it won't get better until Vince dies. And I don't watch enough old content to justify the 9.99 a month. I can just throw it into a Patreon/youshoot.
If I really want to see a random clip from yesteryear I can always load a youtube clip.

Not sure why people hating on Vince only,
When Triple H placed himself in the main event again when there was only one outcome.

I think ALL the english commentators were awful. They all need to be replaced with Corey Graves, Tom Philips, and Mauro Ranallo. Corey and Mauro especially knows how to call matches, they know the moves, the know what is happening, the works! All the others (Jerry Lawler, JBL and Michael Cole) doesn't have a clue!
The good news is that Raw After Wrestlemania is almost always amazing. Even if it's largely because of the crowd.
The bad news is that Raw After Raw After Wrestlemania is almost always back to normal and terrible.

The thing I didn't get was bringing out The Rock to announce a fucking attendance record. Isn't that the kind of shit Howard Finkel used to do right at the beginning of the show? Jesus.

All the reports and indications are that Triple H wanted the HIAC to go last, but Vince wanted the title match last. Vince wins.

I canceled it literally after AJ jobbed. I knew how the rest of the night was going to go just from that.
