How many times has a heel actually walked out of WM as champion? There was Miz, HHH at 2000 and Stone Cold in 17 but honestly cant remember it happening outside of that.

I think that's it.

 

[Sanjuro]

UT started strong but he was really gassed or concussed again the last five minutes. If you can't work one match without something happening its probably time to stop.

He is a hybrid. He was a Lesnar gassed. If he wasn't stalling for his dead opponent, it could have been great.

 

[serenewarfare]

How many different moves did we get out of Lesnar?

Difference is that Lesnar is proven to be a main event level guy. Roman isn't.

 

[Chamber]

I need to lie down brehs.

 

[Cybit]

How many different moves did we get out of Lesnar?

I counted 3; F5s, German Suplexes, and Slaps.

He is getting his belt taken away, breh.

Well it's like a fighting game where you find a move that always works then spam it over and over, so that's different and ok

 

[OctoMan]

Did j and j come out? I was marking way too hard to tell

 

[lupinko]

If Sting was happy to job in his WM match why didn't they put him against the UT. No one expects a AAA match they just wanted to see the spectacle. :|

F**king HHH.

Why was the NWO helping Sting??? : Why were these guys hugging 24hrs ago but now they're enemies??

I don't understand! :|

Sting was nWo doe.

Gotta respect how stiff Reigns let Lesnar work and vice versa.

 

[TomShoe]

I counted 3; F5s, German Suplexes, and Slaps.

Don't forget those knees.

 

[Kiever Sher]

cena as old timey gangster or hhh as broken down robot, choose wisely lads

 

[DanielMann]

Why does Taker need to retire? He looked great. Wyatt is a fucking cancer.

He basically blew the biggest break that nobody ever gets related to his status.

It's not like I was impressed with Wyatt either in that match...but like I said, I just didn't care about this match. I didn't care about it when the program started, and I didn't care once it got going either. Neither man made me care about it.

 

[Ithil]

How many different moves did we get out of Lesnar?

I counted F5, lariat, suplex, back suplex, underhook suplex, German suplex, belly to belly suplex.

Suplex City, bitch.

 

[Eidan]

I counted 3; F5s, German Suplexes, and Slaps.

That was my count as well. I think I saw an Olympic Slam once, but that was about it.

 

[Toki767]

HHH at 19

Didn't count since Lesnar beat Angle in the actual main event.

 

[serenewarfare]

I need to lie down brehs.

 

[Wagram]

I thought the PP was decent. The results didn't head the way I would have liked them but a solid PPV none the less.

As far as I know they're both married with children - however that isn't a definitive indictment of their sexuality, which I honestly don't care which way they swing. It's not my business.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Who knew Sting was Japanese the entire time just trying to please his sensei of the Sting Clan

He meant as in to celebrate with Seth when he cashed in and won.

Explains why he lost too. Can't expect to get over in this company if you're from Japan.

Goddamnit Sunny

 

[Kaiterra]

Yesss I love it

 

[Frecklestein]

the geisha they call sting

 

[Toki767]

I like how Lillian called it WrestleMania 31 at the end as people were leaving. Vince ain't fooling anyone with symbols.

 

[SmithnCo]

Why does Taker need to retire? He looked great. Wyatt is a fucking cancer.

He basically blew the biggest break that nobody ever gets related to his status.

To be fair he was hurt, and his booking was always gonna make him look bad. Nothing can explain that bizarre suicide move though.

The way Vince talked I thought he was maybe going somewhere with Bray but...

 

[Joe Prodigy]

Amazing Wrestlemania. Best one in ten years.

Amazing Wrestlemania. Best one in ten years.

That's a real tall order considering Mania 30 is right there with the top ones too

 

[Heroman]

I wished he won, it would have been amazing.

Fuck. Yes. Seth is awesome.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Reigns gonna win the title tomorrow on Raw. Sauce it.

*dead*

 

[Kiever Sher]

that slap one though, roman just waiting on it has me dying

 

[Jimmy King]

thoughts:

that ladder match was the worst thing on the card by a long shot, not counting the divas match

I could not handle trips/stang I thought I was gonna lose myself it was so fucking funny

seeing brock lesnar commit murder live is really something special

everyone leaving the arena was happy

 

[Toki767]

Reigns gonna win the title tomorrow on Raw. Sauce it.

The Raw after Mania crowd is even more rabid than the Mania crowd. They gotta wait until at least next week.

 

[The Main Event]

Re-watching the WrestleMania replay. Still marking out at Triple H's entrance. Goddamn.

 

[Heroman]

Reigns gonna win the title tomorrow on Raw. Sauce it.

He would be booed so hard that batista would look like mizdow.

 

[serenewarfare]

If you listen during the main event, you can hear Brock telling Roman to straight up potato him.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Should we expect Seth Rollins to guest on Stewarts daily show?

Would he be the first WWE champ to be a guest?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Reigns gonna win the title tomorrow on Raw. Sauce it.

They just didn't want the open stadium to mask the nuclear heat he will get.

 

[NastyBook]

PFFTHAHAHAHHAAHAHA

 

[Sparkedglory]

Now that Seth is champ. I'd really want WWE to set up a 6 man hell in a cell match. Seth Rollins v Roman Reigns v Brock Lesnar v Dean Ambrose v Daniel Bryan v Orton. All men involved would have legitimate reasoning for going after Seth and the belt.

Roman and Brock - Losing tonight at mania
Ambrose - Still has unfinished business with Rollins
Bryan - Never lost his belt
Orton - Can claim he beat the champ the night he won.

I wish this could happen...Though I know it wont.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

I didn't hear him, will have to go back and listen. I'm not shocked though, that match looked brutal and super stiff from both guys. They really made it look devastating.

 

[beanman25]

That was fucking amazing. Seth Rollins baby!!!!

 

[reptilescorpio]

I never understand the love of this photo... in insinuates AirBoom were good.

AirBoom were not good. They were trash.

The photo worked better while the Usos were still tag champs sadly

 

[Cybit]

Stolen from another board, but dead on

Here's the thing. Rollins and Reigns have been singles competitors for the same amount of time on the WWE main roster (let's ignore the indy stuff for the time being) BUT Rollins' rise to this spot has included all of the stuff that we were criticizing Reigns' rapid push for NOT having:

* He was immediately put into a stable, the Authority, most of whose members could talk for him while he improved on the mic AND was paired with veterans like HHH, Kane, Show and Orton (briefly) who conferred credibility on him.

* Immediately began a sensible midcard feud with someone on his same level; Dean Ambrose.

* Won the MITB ladder match (basically a midcard title) very quickly, but did it with help. (Kane) He carried that "title" around until he earned legitimate main event credibility.

* Won the feud with Ambrose.

* Sent off Randy Orton to show his vicious nature and that he could "hang" with main-event level talent.

* Competed in a higher-level feud at Survivor Series but ended up losing it.

* Had a mini-feud on the mic with John Cena and, again, got over but showed that he needed help to do it. Thus he is gaining cred for "going over" (in storyline if not in matches) higher-level talent without A. unbelievably doing it on his own and B. cementing himself as a great heel who relies on cheating and the help of his stable members to beat faces.

* Got his victories back over the man who beat him at Survivor Series: Dolph Ziggler.

* Weaseled his way into a WWE Title match at Royal Rumble (undeservedly; preserving heel cred), put on a good showing including injuring Brock Lesnar (to show that he was at least close to main event status) but actually lost the match, and took the pin doing it.

* Took a cheap win over Roman Reigns on the Road to WM.

All of these are the incremental steps needed to credibly build a main-eventer who is ready for the belt. Seth Rollins checked off all the boxes, and thus was a suitable "in case of emergency, break glass" solution tonight.

So, when do we all want to admit that Rollins has actually been the chosen one the entire time; and Reigns was a red herring? Because looking back, anyone who didn't read the dirtsheets and immediately believe them would have thought Rollins was the chosen one (especially when you think they had Rollins with Jon Stewart, and not Reigns...or that Rollins was being protected through feuds and having feuds with good opponents unlike Reigns).

Was at a WM party with friends, and his mother (who watched in the attitude era but picked it up again recently) was confused as to why they thought Roman Reigns was the chosen one; she's thought Rollins was the chosen one.
