Go2Sleep Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The "live" fan reactions are so awful, especially when they do slo-mo reactions as part of the replays. Some Kevin Dunn makes WWE even less visually appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that Mania. I need to get to another because it's the only one I've been to and I don't want to say that the only Mania I've been to included Miz in the main event plus included the in ring debuts of Snooki and Michael Cole. I was there and have no recollection of Snooki or Cole at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'm happy my last mania (23 in Detroit) was a really good one. I wish they'd come back to Detroit. I would have even gone to one in Minneapolis, but they're going to Nola instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 So apparently Naomi's injury was legit/serious enough that they just had her give up the title at the start of SDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Did they give it right back to Alexa, Bockwinkel-style? Because that'd be some awesome heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 A cool Wrestlemania moment, IF they do the SmackDown woman's ladder match Naomi (if she is cleared to wrestle) comes out as a surprise entrant and regains the title in her hometown. And then Becky can turn heel on her on the next SmackDown, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 10 hours ago, Craig H said: Oh my goodness. In the latest WO Radio, Meltzer revealed that WWE is recycling shots from past shows to use during a broadcast when they're not getting a reaction they want. They specifically talked about this for a Roman Reigns segment. On the one hand, they're using b-roll footage to help their TV broadcasts. On the other hand, and I acknowledge that they likely do this for other wrestlers, it's pathetic to see the lengths they'll go through to show Roman as a babyface. I'm starting to doubt Roman will turn heel at WM. That explains why green shirt/tan hat guy is at every show, so it's easy to "splicey splicey (OSW tm)".

AxB Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 16 hours ago, Burgundy LaRue said: Yep. All someone has to do is notice that whenever any wrestler comes out, you instantly see several signs for them around the arena that weren't there before. It's not exclusive to Reigns, and they've been doing it for a while. On the edited one hour version of RAW on SKY 1, they cut to old crowd shots whenever there's a weapon strike (it airs at 11AM on Sundays). And when I say old crowd shots, I mean pre-HD. It's usually Hardy girls from about 1999-2000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the constant rumor that Vince doesn't like Mauro and he will be gone soon but that just seems to stem from the fact that they stuffed Tom Phillips there after the death of Superstars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
