How much did that do for Mojo's Rawley's career? Come on now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well, Ultimate Deletion was infinitely better than anything I was expecting to see on Raw. Can't believe that happened. Would be so incredible if that was the end of the Bray character, but oh well. Cesaro/Stroman was also fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm reading on twitter that the live crowd was not shown The Ultimate Deletion. Instead it was some sort of in-ring segment with Dana Brooke and Ronda Rousey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now - Jinder took that Gronk rub all the way to the WWE title. Not saying it's an ideal spot but short of them getting time on the kickoff show (which would piss everyone off anyway) I don't think their angle is hot enough to make it on the main show. Not that they're not talented and great but you saw a hot Dallas crowd that could have given fuck all about both of them. At least in the battle royale you can "tell a story" and build to a singles match that might mean something. I mean, it's looking iffy if Randy fucking Orton is gonna make the main show this year. Actually, it's shocking they haven't added Bayley and Sasha to the Bliss and Jax match because that's gonna be some creative booking to be anything other than a ten second squash (which I'm assuming it will be and should be if it's one-on-one).

I just think it's funny that you bring up crowd reaction when the MAIN EVENT of WM is going to have 70,000 people booing the face of the company and being otherwise apathetic to the other guy who is leaving for UFC. Dallas doesn't speak for everyone. Women's wrestling has gotten great reactions in other venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish69 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thought the graveyard bit was a little hokey, but overall I liked it. The ending was cool with the Brother Nero appearance. I guess Micheal Cole isn't a fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the good news is that every character in WWE is only about 8-10 weeks of decisive wins away from regaining credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do hope a bunch of neckbeards in real life try to beat up three cops hoping that the officers will just vanish in to the night afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That's one of those "WWE laying it on too thick" things. US Marshalls don't deal with employees trespassing. Otherwise, I thought it was fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The Roman/Brock segment was decent enough. Dug the Nia trying to murder Alexa. Rousey's video package was great. The Sasha/Bayley stuff was decent enough. I'm fine with them not getting their match at WM with the way they have been building the feud. I couldn't see it making it past pre-show or getting decent time anyways. Ultimate Deletion was fun though still not as good as the TNA versions. Felt like they were still holding back.

"Hey boss, you mean Texas Rangers?" "No goddammit! Not those special cops! The OTHER Special cops..." Just my theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If Roman attacked Texas Rangers the crowd would have murdered him though. Better to go after over-reaching federal agents. Hell they were probably working for McCabe or wanna them other Bengazis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thought the Ultimate Deletion was entertaining fun. The original will always be the greatest. This was like a 'greatest hits' of Broken Matt getting to include all the characters and objects of the Broken Universe. The Lake of Reincarnation is gonna turn Bray back into Sister Abigail since we never got the Balor/Abigail match from TLC. Sonya Deville always rules. Loved Alexa/Asuka again, they work very well together and their first match remains one of my favorites of the year. Post-match stuff was great too with the crowd hot for babyface Nia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
