Thank you CM Punk for saving us from having to watch a Shaemus match. Glad he got stuck in that battle royal

Where did I say Brock had no charisma? I said he is boring.

Just watched the taker match, such a shame he got injured as before that he was looking OK, such a shame we could have had a decent match to end the tpstreak but hey ho. Fucking amazing that he got back on his feet at all!
It's insane that anyone can think this current roster's bad. This roster is absolutely brilliant and arguably has been for a while. It just needed the writing to back it up. Remember that thing a few years ago where they decided that Bryan, Punk and Zack Ryder were the three new stars? That never quite came to fruition but it could now with the current cast of characters and the buzz around the company being what it is. Would love some sort of Shield/Daniel Bryan/Cesaro loose alliance to fight a Heyman/Lesnar/Authority force.

Older guy? Brock is 36.
Cena is 36. Bryan is 32. Hell, "young and comer" Cesaro is 33.

My favorite one was King clearly waiting for his cue with the lights dimmed, and then being late once they came up to "accidentally" get caught drinking on camera. And then putting the cap on wrong. I think it might have been after Taker, too.
Imo Brock is anything but boring. The guy is massive but can move like a junior heavyweight. He's just an absolute freak. He basically didn't wrestle for 7 years and comes back to have a MoTY contender with Punk. He's ridiculous.
He may be a poor talker, but he cuts such an intimidating figure that you just buy into whatever he does.

If anything, I think deferring to Paul in promos works for and against him. He just looks rice-cake boring when he just stands there and lets Paul to all the talking, but at the same time, he's thrived far more during this comeback having Paul in his corner again.
To me, his real weakness is integrating all of this MMA-ish crap into his repertoire.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Not to mention Reigns is getting a push regardless of what we want. A ton of those guys are over as shit too.
Winners!
I wonder if Cesaro gets to keep the trophy.
Saying he can only wrestle and is boring isn't saying he has no charisma?

Haven't watched wrestling in a while, got the WWE network to watch some of the older PPVs that I remember from when I was a kid (like WrestleMania 12 and the shawn michaels zip line thing). I figure I'd watch this years Mania just because and while the first tag match was good the rest was bad. Like holy shit HHH with short hair, Cena over coming the odds (again), fucking Kane with hair and slacks getting squashed by the Big Boss man kids. Also fucking Taker looking like a lost old man in the supermarket getting beat clean as a sheet by the Billy Kidman wanna be Brock Lesnar. Fuck wrestling...
Steph is still super hot though...

I wish Bryan came out to The Final Countdown. Would've made it even more perfect.
Brock did his own promos in UFC, and he was fine. Having Paul there is probably just to keep Paul active and have him earn his check. Paul is the best at what he does tho, so it doesn't hurt anyone imo

I think Reigns absolutely has the potential to live up to his push. He's got the look and the charisma already, and his in-ring ability has grown over time.
I don't even know where to begin with this.
Just say, "Bring back da Attitude Era."
To be fair Brock Lesnar's best promos there were when he threatened to make his opponents piss themselves. A God of promos in a world populated by dullards.

Paul is there because Brock's contract doesn't let him work too many matches. He is all about big money matches and nothing else.
Paul allows him to keep a presence in the WWE without being there. And it helps get over the image of Brock being a premium wrestler. You pay for the damn PPV if you want to see the Beast. It's a fantastic heel AND marketing tactic.

The perfect end to Michaels career was him showing humility and jobbing on the way out. It was his way of showing he had truly changed re: backstage politics and character wise, it showed that not everything works out for him in the end.

I still can't get behind this... especially because it's rooted in some xenophobic characters and a little more than borderline racist stuff.
I'm really surprised that people have latched onto this chant and are using it.

If you haven't watched wrestling in a while, why would Cena winning be a "same old" thing to you? I'm sensing a "posting just to post" thing here.
Would have been easier to just post "I hate wrestling now and don't really want to watch what they do now anymore" and be done with it.
I mean, that's a fair thing to say, to each their own. But nothing about this PPV was bad.
There are a number of reasons and they are all pretty easy to understand.
1. People love to chant catch phrases
2. Zeb is hilariously of the top and cartoony with his racism. He's a caricature of super right wing nutballs and it is fun to watch
3. Cesaro is fucking dope
4. The music is fucking dope
Oh, I'm sorry, you caught me drinking my delicious Mountain Dew. It's a good thing I had this delicious Mountain Dew after that match. Delicious Mountain Dew saved my voice!

I think Reigns isn't half bad.

This is the most important wrestling of all time:
He didn't move since Undertaker lost. He is the Mega Mark.
I'd like to think he's still there and we'll see him tonight, still covered in confetti.
I laughed at the bolded part, and yes to Steph.
Well...this is certainly a post...

Wow, this is hilarious. I like how Cole looked at JBL. You know they probably make fun of him all the time behind his back.
He's not, dude just needs more moves. They should have kept him in a tag team with Rollins, but then again, I really like Rollins and Ambrose as a team.
Is this symbolic?

At least Brock only hurt himself with his botch. Kidman's SSP got real sloppy. Scary to watch.

Get it, and I know I'm overthinking it... but by chanting, aren't you identifying? Aren't you basically saying "I'm a cartoony racist" too?
Cesaro is fucking dope, Swagger is pretty good too, Zeb is a great character and the music is awesome. I like them... I just think that chanting is a weird identification thing... and by extension, you're taking on that role.
Cesaro is Swiss. The entire gimmick since he joined the team is that they're enormous hypocrites.
The Shield (Boss Man Jnrs) are better than pretty much any of those older guys.

Nahh - think you're giving them too much credit there for being clever.
Don't you remember during the Del Rio feud that Del Rio was basically an illegal Mexican, while Cesaro was righteous because he was becoming an American the "right way?"

I finally got around to watching it. The Two Best friends twitter spoiled the end of Takers match for ME, I'll get you Matt and Pat. It was a great Mania and it was worth Taker losing just for the amazing reactions in the crowd. I laughed me ass off.
And fuck yes for DB.
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.
