HumanChessgame Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The closing segment was so bad because it confirmed that Randy Orton would be in the WM main event. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 AJ Styles earned a #1 contender spot at WrestleMania. I believe that was the stipulation. No matter what Shane does how could it make sense? AJ is in the main event because that's what the stip said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 And it also made you really wish Harper won, because you are waiting for the screw job with Styles getting left out, and a Triple Threat with Harper is a much more interesting match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, when do they ask Dean to give up his belt for never defending it? Arson and defiling graves is babyface behavior inside the scary place that is Vince McMahon's head. We learned from Dean's US title run that there is a lot of paperwork involved to set up title matches. Ambrose doesn't have time for all that paperwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brand of hammer do you have in your household? I ask because you nailed that so very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 There is no way Orton vs Wyatt is closing Wrestlemania with Brock vs Goldberg & Triple H vs Rollins scheduled Calling it a "main event" match is like saying Edge vs Del Rio was the Smackdown main event when it was the first match on the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 You guys needed tonight to confirm for you that Orton would be in the match? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stipulation of the match was "for a shot at the title at WrestleMania". AJ won the match, therefore he won a shot at the title "at WrestleMania" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Maybe Shane says to Orton, hey you gave up your opportunity to face Bray at Wrestlemania, if you want it back, you gotta beat AJ for it. Then Shane screws AJ, we get Shane/AJ and Orton/Wyatt and I stop watching until the big summer angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Rowan's cleared, I wonder if Bray goes crawling back to Harper to try and reunite the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully there will be other matches on the card you might stick around to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think we can all agree if that was the plan then they should just have had Luke beat AJ (maybe with Shane interference) and run a Wyatt Family triple threat. Now it's looking like Luke may either interfere at Mania or just be an addition to the battle royal. Neither is a great place to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Jericho/Owens will be good, but nothing on the Smackdown side is remotely interesting to me. It feels like in comics when the big annual crossover event puts everything you've invested in on hold for a few months to attract new readers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The most depressing part is Luke Harper possibly being left out in the cold. The guy deserves to be a main event player for a long, long time. I've been a fan of his since about 2007 when I started watching Chikara. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Anyone else love that Cena/Miz segment? So refreshing for them to take creative leash off and let people act like themselves and push the envelope a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What was really missing from that Orton at the Wyatt compound segment was Erick Rowan sitting inside holding a 9mm glock. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I kept waiting for Rowan to creep up from behind and sink that pick-axe a foot deep into Orton's skull. Alas. It's been 40 minutes and I'm still trying to figure out what happened in that last segment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Orton really needs to take a few months off and be a contestant on Naked and Afraid. Dude can light a match by striking it once against a tree. He'd be king-sized on that show. So sparks even, just a good burn. I couldn't get that done if my life depended on it. Show was alright, though I have no idea why Orton went through all of this. His dialogue made it sound like he's been conning Bray all along. Um. ok, why? I'm guessing Shane somehow screws AJ out of the title match since Orton is back in, and we end up with AJ-Shane, Not exciting, but it's probably the best AJ's gonna get. I didn't really care for that last segment when it was Kane and the Undertaker. And this go-round was about half as interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Cena's evisceration of Miz was fantastic. I really wish this was leading to a singles match at Wrestelmania. Mickie/Becky seemed nice whenever it was on, but I could never get a full read on it with the commercial breaks. I am pleased Becky won. Also dug Nattie throwing her hat in the race for the belt during Alexa's interview. AJ/Harper was damn good up until that weird finish which didn't really do Harper any favors. I do hope AJ stays in the main event. I honestly fast forwarded through the final segment. Once I heard Orton talking about it not being his world I realized where it was going. It wasn't a bad idea in theory, but we really needed the Wyatt compound built up more along with the idea that Abigail was brewed there. It just felt hollow. Also weird to have AJ talk about going out there and not showing up. SDL feels weird right now. the only thing going into WM with solid build right now is Dean/Corbin. Everything else could deliver if they were aiming at slightly different match ups like Cena/Miz instead of the mixed tag or a Wyatt triple threat or a 4-way with AJ thrown in instead of whatever the fuck is going to happen.

Well Cena is all about putting people over now. Plus if Ellsworth pins him he could brag about that for the next several months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
