Average Mania should have cut a few matches so others could go longer.
I love that Bayley retained and Alexa lost

WWE's twitter put up a brief segment with them following the match. Jeff did a lot of the talking, but when Matt did speak it sounded far more like his normal voice than his crazy Broken Matt accent. That being said he did throw in a 'DELIGHTFUL' so who knows. They're probably playing it safe till they get the all clear from legal.
Everyone watching looked amazed. And rightfully so.

Orton vs Wyatt
....a load of piss really, you could tell early on from the amount of signature moves being chucked out that this one was on a shorter timer, it felt rushed, rather incoherent and I can't believe that Orton never used the powers he obtained in his Wyatt time to counter Bray's video worms into a pit of vipers to hit an actual surprise RKO, nope instead we just got Bray looking like a chump transitional champ and he continues his mania losing streak while Orton comes across as pretty non-enthused about what should be a big win.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who wanted a projection of vipers for the distraction into the RKO... if they needed Orton to win for some for some reason that was the way to do it, it would have made the goofy shit (that frankly was the only good thing about the match) mean something in the end. It would have been an oh shit moment that made the RKO that followed a pop moment instead of a oh that's it moment.
It's fucked up to think that all the months of booking that reinvigorated Wyatt, made him look like a world beater was just so that he could be fed to Orton...
And in the end all the spooky supernatural shit meant fuck all, like Orton driving that staff into the ground and shit on the go home Smackdown.... did fuck nothing.
In the end though I'm glad they overbooked the build because I started giving a shit about this feud when Wyatt gained new powers instead of playing a vulnerable character, and then I just gave up entirely on the go home show with Orton going nope I take those powers too and using the same staff Wyatt attacked him with the week earlier...
All that and the finish was jut an RKO... yeah ok
Honestly, have any of Bray's in game mindgames ever been good? They always seem to kill the match's momentum i feel.
It was a shame that after our defending of the feud and appreciation of its actual long term booking that the endgame (well probably not the actual endgame) was a dud like this. Especially because I'm sure they can do better under less constrained circumstances.
The feud never did deliver on any of the supernatural silliness it promised, perhaps the road to backlash will give it what it needed.
Meltzer confirmedis coming up this week.Andrade
I so called that.
Where was Rock? I could have still gone another 30 minutes brother!
nope
No reason to hog up the spotlight with Taker retiring.Busy promoting Fast 8 and Baywatch I'm guessing
You would think Orlando, Universal Studiis, who owns Fast 8, which the Rock is part of, you do some synergy marketing
Still it's not like the show needed more run time
regins said on espn that the match felt like a loss for him,
Here's the problem with the idea of cutting shit down... you know what would have got cut?
Not Taker/Reigns, not Orton/Wyatt probably not even Ambrose/Corbin or the Andre Battle Royal or the mixed Tag Match for those who hated that one too...
Anything that would have gotten cut would have been from mostly the selection of good stuff on the show.
Due to the quality? I would agree with him. That match won't have the impact on his career that it could have had if it was even remotely good. Such a shame, I was actually good with Roman winning this.
kind of in character http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=19064257

Btw doing a quick bit of research but I think Lesnar beating Goldberg was actually the first time literally in Goldberg's TV career that he lost clean in a one on one match...
First time in 20 years!
Brock is a freak of goddamn nature. During his entrance, he was bouncing between ropes so fucking fast.Everyone watching looked amazed. And rightfully so.
It looked like it did. Towards the end of the match he had that facial expression like "Really? Let's just end this and move on" Sorta like the way Cena had when he put Edge through those tables in which he didn't want to do.regins said on espn that the match felt like a loss for him,

I watched religiously 20-30 years ago. Then I went dark for 15-ish years. In the last handful of years, I've begun watching once or twice per year. Some years I'll just watch WrestleMania; other years, I might check out Royal Rumble or Summerslam.
It's almost unbelievable to me how bad and stale the product seems. I don't understand how it can be so awful. It's sterile and devoid of personality. It's grindingly boring and terribly paced. (I was checking my watch by 9:15pm.) The booking and structure of the shows are just plain fucked. (Putting the Smackdown women between Lesnar-Goldberg and Roman-Taker was bizarre.) And the product somehow continues to make the current and future generations look like dogshit, even when they're technically beating the senior citizens.
How are there still any wrestling fans?
Anyway, see you next March. Heh.
I love Brock but he is not a freak of nature, he is tall and he is on Steroids....
He was busted just a few months ago....

Hardys did 2 ladder matches this weekend. They are insane
That's my prediction for the Summerslam match for the Universal Championship. Balor is gonna be huge in the WWE because of the merch sales and the Demon King thing. He's gonna take the belt off Brock. This will be the 'small dude vs big dude' match people wanted from Bryan vs Brock.Really hope finn doesnt vs lesnar that isnt a feud i wanna see. I also find thr demon king gimmick is on the wrong peson. Balor looks too small to be sold as a gimmick like that.

I saw it live but I missed gaf reaction: what happened when Neville almost killed Aries by dumping him on his head?
I'm the big dogregins said on espn that the match felt like a loss for him,
Worst character on Raw. Completely inconsistent and unbelievable.regins said on espn that the match felt like a loss for him,

Yeah the big thing is he's allowed to use Delete!
Despite the height, Bryan makes Finn look small.That's my prediction for the Summerslam match for the Universal Championship.
