Dolfan in NYC Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yup, just like I expected. Roman wins, crowd dies. That being said, everything up to there was just beautiful. Dean being completely disrespectful to Brock and getting repeatedly murdered for it was so, so much fun. I like how the crowd gave Brie about 5 minutes of sympathy babyface heat, and after she blew her 32nd spot in the match, went back to despising her. Jericho just needs to go away now. Let AJ and Miz talk each other to death and have a fucking awesome match in Dallas. Edge making it rain was just beautiful. Also, it was nice seeing Ryback injure two of the Wyatts.

MGFanJay Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The pre-show match was so much better with Mauro. Holy crap was he just amazing here. His commentary was the best of the show, and the best match was easily the main event. AJ vs. Jericho was pretty good, but hurt by Jericho just being too slow to really do an AJ match anymore. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2016/02/wwe-fastlane-2016.html Screens - "Please God, give me the worst facial hair ever!"

piranesi Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 When Naomi pulled Sasha of the apron right when she was about to get the hot tag and then Tamina immediately threw Becky out of the ring that place should have been molten. Fuck that crowd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm so done with Roman Reigns, babyface. Triple H is gonna get cheered at Wrestlemania. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The main event scene is so fuckin' predictable and boring. EDIT: On the plus side, the Edge & Christian show is awesome so far.

SirSmUgly Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That crowd gives zero fucks about HHH/Reigns. Perfectly acceptable wrestling that I won't remember three months from now mixed with awful booking. I honestly forgot this was tonight for awhile and missed the pre-show match, which I heard was good, and I went and finished some errands during the Edge and Christian thing, but otherwise, it was a perfectly fine RAW - decent matches and totally heatless.

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So..... What the fuck are we getting at Mania exactly? The only match that seems completely set in stone is Trips/Reigns. Main was great, but in the long term, changed nothing. Reigns/Bryan was great last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I can't recall a time, outside of MAYBE That Bryan stuff, where WWE creative has cared less about fan reaction and what feedback they're getting right now. The Wyatts deserve better, and now two of them have been smoked. AJ Styles was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What was the New Day segment aiming for? To turn them face? Then they probably should have actually hit someone at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Good show up until 10pm, then it took a fucking HARD nosedive. New Day circling right back around into minstrel charicatures has driven my interest away from them. Main was good, including the finish. It's a shame the crowd doesn't give a shit.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That shit was real quiet as they went off the air. I just don't see this as a WM main event at all. They've missed the boat on Roman and Hunter is a bit of diminishing returns going on. Plus, Hunter will be the babyface lol These sets too man.. Fuck. They look so generic, a RAW with slightly different graphics. I know they have to cut costs but they look SO SHITTY. There was some stuff I liked about the show.

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Also, the "HE KICKED OUT OF THE STYLES CLASH, THIS IS TERRIBLE" shit I'm seeing online is fucking stupid. You can't have a guys finisher be a move he can't hit on half the roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Also, can we stop pretending the Wyatt's are anything but dead in the water at this point? As a giant Wyatt fan, them jobbing to Kane, Big Show, and Ryback at the same PPV (not technically, but you know) that they beat the Shield two years ago just makes me incredibly sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I liked the women's tag match, and it will be nice to see AJ move on from Jericho to work with guys that can keep up with him. AJ/KO at WM for IC title? Sure, give me that. The Wyatt's are dead in the water, and fuck Ryback for being so goddamn sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What exactly did Jerry Lawler say to Renee Young that was so terrible? I wasn't watching for that part, but people on my Facebook aren't happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That was one of the more grabasstically thrown together PPVs I can remember. Only 6 matches announced up until days before the show? Let's throw one of the title matches on the preshow and throw in an angle and match with the JTTS crew out there before the main event! The tag champs? Let's stick them in a segment to plug a new network show! Who cares if it's something we could have done on Raw to set up a tag title match using a few other upper card guys, we've got original programming to plug! As much as midlife crisis Jericho has worn out his welcome, Styles/Jericho was a perfectly good match. It was rendered pretty moot by all the 50/50 booking and the pairing having been done to death on all the shows leading up to this evening though. Owens/Ziggler and Kalisto/Del Rio were hampered even moreso by this and even though both matches were quality (especially Owens/Ziggler), the outcomes meant pretty much squat. I don't know how or why we can be expected to care about the Wyatts at this point. Take an act that should have no problem getting over and repeatedly make them look like chumps, this time against three of the biggest pieces of dead weight on the roster featuring two guys who are due for retirement and another who has consistently sucked and shown a propensity for hurting people. The women's matches were ok. I'm glad Brie didn't win and there was nothing really especially bad or great about either match. The main event was a thing. I don't think it was particularly good or bad and even though I don't really want Reigns in the world title scene, I'm not terribly upset about the outcome. We're probably going to get Ambrose/Brock at mania out of this and I'm more interested in that than Brock taking on HHH or Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 When the Wyatts lost the 6 man match I didn't care much because it would be all worth when he costs Brock the title. That not happening in the main event while it made the main event much better makes the 6 man so damn confusing. Now I assume Brock vs Bray is still happening because why the fuck would you have Brock vs Luke Harper on a Network special. Well besides it being a better match than the actual WM match I just hope Triple H learned his lesson from the last time he booked himself in the main event of Wrestlemania (Houston against Orton). I am guessing the match before the main isn't going to be that special Have no idea the purpose of the New Day/Edge & Christian segment So after tonight's PPV we have still just one match determined for their biggest WM ever and that was already determined about 2 months ago to most people Thank god for NXT Takeover and the 2 or 3 EVOLVE shows I am planning for the weekend. By the way announcing that Nakamura was officially signed to the WWE about 5 minutes after the PPV can't be a fucking concidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallacy! Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I can't see a scenario where HHH/Reigns actually closes WM 32. That match is just so dead in the water right now. It's gotta be Cena-Taker if that's the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think Trips is an evil mastermind who is hoping that the crowd chanting "NXT" the entire main event of wrestlemania will put pressure on making him the booker for the main show. Cause that shit is going to fucking happen. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I find it pretty amazing that the NXT Dallas card is what it is and the Wrestlemania card is what it is. How does Vince allow that to happen? Proud papa HHH is going to get one massive face pop the night after Takeover Dallas from the same fans in the audience who saw him acting like a face on what might be the show of the year. He must know this. This might be his best hatchet job on another talent yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
