Reveal hidden contents My summary after the pre-show: Men's Battle Royal: 4 points (I got Matt Hardy as one of the final four and correctly guessed that there are not more than three non-main roster guys in the match; I though Elias would win, had Aiden and Ziggler as additional final four guys and thought Corbin would be gone first) CW Championship: 4 points (I got both extra questions - easy points - but though Ali would win) Women's Battle Royal: 10 points (I had Sasha, Bailey and Naomi correctly as final four women; I though Ruby would be the fourth and win the match; I also had Carmella correctly as first being eliminated and had 6 or more non-main roster women) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Is anyone else starting to get the odd feeling that Wrestlemania might be free for new subscribers to the network? I can't put my finger on why, but there's a vibe or something telling me that this might be the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I liked so much of that, but there was so much of it that everything I liked was like three days ago. I swear up to AJ/Nak I thought it was a great show and I feel like I've slept ten years since that match started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 1 minute ago, Casey said: What a weird fucking show. It's like everything that shouldn't of worked on this show way overdelivered and the seeming can't miss aspects went over like a wet fart. Men's BR was a thing. Two years in a row with a fuck finish. The CW title match never really kicked into high gear based on the regular 205 Live offerings. There wasn't much in the way of dramatic tension and it was really missing a heel/face dynamic IMO, which is a shame Gulak wasn't in the match instead. Good for Cedric for winning. The Women's BR wasn't bad and it was nice to see the female Nexus having some representation. The Bayley/Sasha ending was predictable but I thought they'd have a more lengthy confrontation. I guess they were going for a "Bayley tries to act like a heel and it costs her" thing, but just like in the EC the BR is everyone for themselves so eliminating your pal is just business. When they discussed Rollins being a potential grand slam champ as he was walking to the ring I figured he was going to win. The match was a lot more entertaining than I'd been expecting, especially when it really got going. Was Miz dressed as Naruto? Asuka/Charlotte was one of the best women's matches I can remember. Great entrances, fantastic spots and chaings throughout, and the last five minutes or so were fantastic with both women laying it into eachother. The ending surprised me and the celebration afterward was a great moment. Fuck Cena though. Russev was the only guy in the US title match who isn't a snoozefest and I didn't expect him to win. Jinder winning was the worst possible outcome. Hunter and Steph went for another "suburban couple having a midlife crisis" (or Sons of McMahonarchy as I saw someone say). Steph looked like Sandy at the end of Grease. I think expectations for this match were low across the board, but they did a nice job of smoke and mirrors and sneaky heel work to cover everyone's limitations. Ronda looked natural in the ring and did the best she could having to work with a non-wrestler. This match went from good for what it was to better than it had any right to be pretty quick. Ronda is a star if she can get her promo game together. New Day's entrance was definitely a thing. I was handling some work stuff and didn't even notice the match had ended so I can't really say anything here. They really should have built to Elias/Cena similar to what they did with Jericho and Fandago a few years back. Cena/Taker was basically a 1993 WWE Superstars squash match. They just needed the body bag afterwards. Bryan looked good without killing himself and the other 3 guys did their best to carry Shane. No big turn made this segment kinda just there. Nia/Alexa was solid and just the kind of match it needed to be. Like the past few years the crowd was dead by the time the main events started to roll around. Nak/Styles was underwhelming but I think only part of that was due to audience fatigue. Even the heel turn at the end didn't sound like it illicited that much of a pop. I understand the need for a cooler match before the main event, but the tag segment was really stupid. Though I'm not going to like, my inner 11 year old is jealous of this kid. The back half of the show was dragging like crazy and the only solace I had was figuring it was going to be Brock's WWE swansong. I should have known better. The main event was the same bullshit we've seen from Brock as long as he's had the belt. Roman juicing like crazy was a nice touch but fuck Brock going over. The crowd was shitting all over this match and I can't blame them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 How many millions did Vince just cough up to Brock??? I have a lot to say about this show. I'm sure we all do, but Ronda was pretty fucking awesome so that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I thought it was a good show with some really weird finishes. Don't go to WM with any kind of steak. It's like they kept one upping themselves with all the weird booking. The final match being the weirdest. JUST PULL THE TRIGGER WITH ROMAN JEEEZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Rhonda stole the show.... IWC is on fire, dogs and cats, etc. Corey looked like he just stepped out of the 5th Element set. The Miz looks like a Naruto Sannin. Drake! Deserves this WM payday (and more)! Holyshit, Rhonda knows how to sell! Damn, Rousey's timing is really good (already better than Liv Morgan). Steph has better armbar defense than Ember That match had Patterson written all over it, lit as fuck! Dat laser-light summoning circle around UT!

piranesi Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just now, The Natural said: Fucking miracle how Kurt Angle/Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H/Stephanie turned out. My MOTN. It was great! Considering how much they wanted/needed to get into this match: Things they needed to do: - Having Angle be Face in Peril to Ronda can get the hot tag pop - Having Ronda work over Steph to a big pop - Having a sequence where Steph gets to do evil things - Having Angle and HHH get a segment to get all their finishers in on each other - Having Ronda save Angle at least once - Doing something on the outside because it's a HHH match Things they wanted to do - Having Ronda square off against HHH (this was a good idea) - Having Angle ankle lock Steph (this was a bad idea) - Having Angle/Ronda do stereo submissions (this was fine but should have been the ending That is so much to get into one match that of course it was going to be a mess. And, sure it went one segment too long and should have ended at the armbar/ankl-lock. But the crowd popped for every one of those things. It was also such a classic Wrestlemania overbooked/celebrity/gimmick match and teh crowd was into it like they used to be into every dumb thing in a Mr. T/Roddy Piper match. It was the most "Wrestlemania" moment of the card and I wasn't bored for one second. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
