It was a great match, I just would have preferred Lesnar won. But still, the finish was brilliant. When was the last time a heel walked away with the title at WM?

That felt like such a burying of Reigns. Ahahaha. I love Seth.
Man, what a surprisingly solid show.

We deserve Ambrose vs Seth

Because it's clearly penance for him not being in the main event.
No wonder nobody likes Daniel Bryan fans.
It was an aberration that reigns kicked out of three F5s after don't know how many suplexes, effectively making him look better than Cena's Summerslam match, and then having a come back, even if it was thanks to Lesnar getting hit on his head in the ring post.
Vince: "We'll please the fans by not making Reigns champion, but make him look strong, dammit!"
But is that not what we wanted?

They let Brock dominate the match to drain out any chance of Daniel Bryan chants too lol.
Crowd was livid with any offense given in by Reigns.
REIGNS HAS THE WORSE SELLING FACE EVER. What a punchable face. Cena looks like Ziggler in comparison.
You guys are hilarious. I'll just pick one post at random to laugh at. Ummm... this one:
Hahaha...
Hahaha...

The WWE was never going to 'elevate' the mid-card belts. They're just something for Cena and, to a lesser extent Bryan, to chase after while not in the main event.

Good show. I don't get the Sting loss other than Vince still hates WCW even though he owns it now. And why did Taker win?
Really good main event though. Orton/Rollins was great, fun seeing the little nWo v DX thing.

We know WWE is only gonna use Suplex City lol.
From the mad dash to the mad retreat back up the ramp, right down to each rotation that belt makes Seth has given that much more meaning to the World Heavyweight Championship by not only curbstomping the man who was the 1 in 21, but by also pinning the man who was set out to the beat 1 in 21, thus proving he is the one.
It sure as fuck ain't what Vince wanted.

They protected Lesnar by having a great heel, and an absolute weasel of a character defeat the most unfairly pushed wrestler on the roster.
Whoever decided this made the right call.

Seth is the top heel in the company, even though the finish wasn't great, he deserves the belt.

I think Reigns versus Rollins was always the post WM plan one way or another.
The entire title picture for the following year was pretty much clear as day once Rollins won MITB last year and you saw them start to build Reigns
I think Reigns came out strong from that match. He took 4 f5, made the champion bleed and hit the final spear that took Brock out.
This was really the best ending though because it opens up a lot of possible ways and to be honest having the champion appear 1 per month wasn't making Raw that exciting

I'm curious. No one on the roster looks competition for Brock. This story makes sense if he didn't re-sign but now I don't really know what you do with him. Do you put the belt back on him? They protected the streak since he wasn't pinned and murdered Roman.
Lesnar made that shit look incredible. Reigns, even though hes pretty bad, took an ass kicking.
That was well worth the 4 hours. The finale was amazing.
Does anyone know where I can stream that post-wrestlemania radio show? I think its in canada? Someone usually posts the link...

The inevitable Shield triple threat for the championship is gonna be so hype. This generations Benoit v HHH v HBK.

Yeah, but I don't think the plan for the match was for Lesnar to dominate with a little bit of hope for Roman. I think the plan was for Roman to win a competitive match and Rollins to cash-in tomorrow.

That's a good point. Now the WWE title becomes just another belt again, a prop that ultimately means very little.

Ambrose could, the reason being is that he will do whatever he has to in order to win. If he has to use weapons he will, he will destroy himself to win. His character is perfect to take Brock on, and he is a tweener already so no matter what he does to win people will cheer.

Haven't yelled and screamed like a little kid since last WM main event.
I probably sounded like an insane person yelling at Seth to cover Brock after the first Curb Stomp instead of looking at Reigns outside the ring.
