Only if they plan on turning Cena heel soon. So no chance in hell.
I feel the same way. I paid $25 for a fantastic show. I paid $250 to watch Reigns win.

I've come to terms with not even wanting to hear Jim Ross in 2015.
You should too.

And that's great for you but some people still like the guy
Yup, he was stuggling with the openers, but he was ready for those big matches and brought it. Really hope it's not the last we hear of GFW.

JR should just become a permanent commentator for NXT. Improve that show even more. Raw is beyond saving.
He was the commentator there and he wasn't bad, but it was obvious he didn't care in places.

NXT show sounds amazing.
One question

Itami finally hit the GTS! Please tell me the crowd didnt just burst into Punk chants?
industrian
will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I've no idea where they'll take the Rusev/Cena thing.
The smart money is Cena overcoming the odds and defending America on the biggest platform in the WWE. But at the same time the US Title should be pocket change to him. Unless this is some sort of drive to bring "legitimacy" to that belt.
I'd say Rusev wins and then on Raw he then throws the US Title in the trash as he starts a push for the World title. Then he wins the title and defends it numerous times against heavy hitters like Brock. Then comes Cena, who overcomes all the odds, wins the Royal Rumble, and beats Rusev at WrestleMania 32.

No, we just went completely fucking nuts cheering for Itami.
Yup. We didn't.
The funny thing is after the show as we were walking out of the building. A small group were chanting CM Punk but was immediately met with loud boos.

The impact from the knee is so much more intense then when that other guy did it.
Nope. We didn't
Itami got a huge pop.
Good.
NXT crowd. Best smarks in the world!
I hope that continues once they are taping shows on the road.
Nah I'm ok.
JR is pretty much done with commentary as you can hear on his recent play by play for Wrestle Kingdom. It's not the same anymore.
Albert doing a pretty good job along with the other dudes.

Also RE: JR @ NXT
I like that NXT is training new guys for every position. From commentary to refs to the in ring talent. They dont need a 30 year vet of commentary to call their shows. Its about creating the next JR. Not using the current JR.

That's sort of like being the friendliest Nazi
Seriously NXT was beyond hype. Crowd was on fire all night. Pops for everything. Also I was sitting nearby the curtains and everyone popped for the random wrestlers and Vince himself showing up. #werenotworthy #betterthanmania #betterthanreigns.
Yeah not looking forward to parking at all. Luckily My friend is driving and I'm meeting him in Milbrae. Otherwise I'm thinking we mah just take public transportation since we gotta pay for a parking pass too.
I was thinking of parking at Millbrae Bart and taking Caltrain. Do you know which Caltrain stop I should get off at and if there are any buses that drop you off in front of the Stadium?
Imagine how much all of those new guys in training could learn from the best in the world by working directly with and beside him.
That was the original plan. JR didn't seem that interested at the time, but he was making easy money by sitting at home and not having to go out to Florida.

It's probably going to look like a reskinning of their Raw/Smackdown stage, just like all of their PPVs.
They've definitely scaled back a bit over these last two years.
Hype
I share the same feelings as JBL in that gif.

Ain't no reskin...okay, kinda looks like WM 28s stage but still, they don't scale back for Mania.
Last year's stage is legitimately one of the coolest things they have ever built:
I can't even lie, it was.
I personally liked Wrestlemania 27's stage.

I'm still getting chills from that arena.

Heh, maybe not for their stage but they've definitely scaled back their storyline development leading into this 'Mania.
I can't even lie, it was.

Wrestlemania 27 stage was ok but that screw that big cube hovering over the ring. It was an eyesore.
The WWE needs Cena and Bryan to have belts so they can carry the shows while Brock Lesnar is home counting his money.
They did that stupid crap for 27 and 28. So distracting, so tacky.
to be fair...you can't really do much in Madison Square Garden with that cramped entrance. The Wrestlemanias during the New Generation Era were horrible though. No effort at all.
Yeah 28 was almost perfection until they put them big ass trees in the middle of the ring :/.
To be fair, they were near bankruptcy at the time.

Did you guys see/read the interview with the guy that designs the sets?
lol that's true.
Plus even at a Arena, you can still bring some effort like 21 which fitted the Hollywood look.
20 and 22 had buildings. That's it.
