Your Only Meaningful Relationship Is With An Inflatable Wrestling Thread - Part 239

[aNarcHy2day]

I'm more interested in Bray vs. Orton than Goldberg vs. Lesnar.

I'm honestly not as invested in either. Not to say I don't understand the reason of booking a Lesnar Goldberg Title match, coz I do but it doesn't spark my interest.

As for Bray Orton, they dropped the ball this week with the entire arson/ grave desecration thing- I was completely on board before that.

The two matches I'm interested in are Y2J/ Owens and Seth/ HHH and one of them will probably not even happen.

Orton burning down the Wyatt Compound was weird, but it's kept me interested.

I'm quite happy with the result. Bray and 'Berg as the champs has me very happy.

Shame that [BLACKOUT]both are almost certainly losing the titles at Mania[/BLACKOUT].

Orton burning down the Wyatt Compound was weird, but it's kept me interested.

I think it's taken out all the twists and turns from the story- Randy is the babyface (for some reason) who will vanquish the heel Bray Wyatt at WM to gain the title for the 13th time.

I mean, why did he forfeit his opportunity just two weeks ago? Absolutely nothing changed in between to justify the change of heart.

It would have been SOOO much better if Harper was a third wheel and Bray WANTED Randy back in the match as an insurance policy... and you could start building a rift from there on between Randy and Bray which comes to a head a week before WM where Randy can burn the compound and turn HEEL on Bray!

 

[Lantern Venom]

Oh, look, it's 2017 and WWE gives another old man a major title.

Vince....

This was it the whole time.

That wasn't the question I was asking... I understand the long con- and frankly, that's been done before so isn't that interesting or groundbreaking- but him giving up his WM main event slot is the part that made the entire story more interesting than usual such angles and now his betrayal without any actual precipitant so soon after makes that bit not make sense any more.

In addition there is the obviously underwhelming prospect of Champion Face Randy that further dampens my excitement to what was, I repeat a very compelling arc till recently.

RVD would be proud

 

[nite-owl]

How could Mick Foley talk to Stephanie when the phone clearly wasn't on?

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

Good to know even with all his pull and hand picked talent hhh still can't stop the vinnie mac nostalgia wank a thon


What really pisses me off even when brick wins at mania he's stil 2-1 to goldberg. This idea only works if they are 1-1 and what Owens rematch clause

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Just wait till Roman beats Goldberg with one Superman Punch.

 

[javonstokess]

Soooo sounds like I made the right decision not to watch Fastlane.

"Amazed" that the WWE would have one of their younger rising stars job to washed up Goldberg just to have the rematch between Brock and Bill be for the title. Why? The match didn't need the extra stakes and Owens was building a nice championship heel run. Ugh.

So Bayley breaks Charlotte (admittedly ridiculous) pay per view streak on some 3rd rate PPV? Why? Why make this build up at all if you're at least not going to have the payoff at Wrestlemania?

Roman beat Braun. Color me "surprised"...

Big Show beat Rusev? Man, Rusev should have been put on Smackdown. He'd probably be Heavyweight champ by now.

I mean, it really is like both shows are booked by vastly different companies. Does Vince even watch/care about Smackdown? If not, then good. Keep him far away from it.

 

[Fans of Reilly]

Personally I do not understand why people are upset Roman beat Braun let be honest here Roman is the better of the two

 

[LOBO3315a]

How do you define "better"?

You have a mountain of a man who moves like a guy half his size, runs roughshod through the roster's biggest big men like they are made of paper. Kayfabe aside, Braun has done some pretty amazing things in the ring, physically. Watching a 300+ man do a kip up is astounding.

Then there's a guy who "cocks his arm" or bellows before delivering 1 of 2 moves. Roman is about as uninspiring as they come.

You know what would have been more interesting? Have Roman lose a few times to Braun. Have him change his move set to "learn" how to beat Braun. Create some character development. Instead of being excited when I hear Roman's music hit, I wonder how much conditioner he's gonna have in his hair.

 

[Broseph44]

This was actually the best match of the night.

 

[The Chris]

This was actually the best match of the night.

It was. I was really not happy with that show overall man. It just was ugh.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I love Neville now, one of my favorite wrestlers. This King run has given him a direction that he was lacking on the main roster.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I love Neville now, one of my favorite wrestlers. This King run has given him a direction that he was lacking on the main roster.

He's become so believably cruel now, I'd be almost afraid to ask him for his autograph if I ran into him at the airport or something.

[DarthSkywalker]

Well I really liked Joe/Sami and the CW title match. But they have pretty much ruined Mania for me already. I also do not understand the point of the Women's Title finish. Unless Steph is going to overturn it, WTH?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hopefully the WWE announces Rick Rude, Christian or William Regal for the Hall of Fame today. All three are highly deserving. I'm going to be curious to see who wins the Warrior Award and who the celebrity inductee is going to be. I got someone in mind as a celebrity inductee, he's someone who is globally known like Snoop Dogg was last year and Arnold Schwarzenegger was the year before.
