Boy do I miss those days... I get that Taker/Cena is big, but to claim AJ/Nakamura and Brock/Reigns aren't real main events is pretty fucking ridiculous.

To the crowd Cena-Taker IS the main event. That's just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 what's main eventing this year? The intergender tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish69 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 So they follow up the Ultimate Deletion with Matt announcing he is going to be in the Andre battle royal? That's pretty underwhelming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuubi Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I could give less of a shit for any Roman WM main event. Honestly, I would have walked out last year if it were not for the Undertaker which I feel even more annoyed because now they are running Taker vs Cena. Shinsuke vs Styles is my main event. Asuka vs Charlotte and Cedric vs Ali are the only other matches that I am invested in. I am tuning out the rest of the show unless it proves to be interesting which if the Usos and New Day are involved, I may give a shit about that match as well.

Rows Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Good on Jamie Frost for getting some promo time, I guess. I'm guessing Asuka and Charlotte just having a match is the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 I said it in the Mania thread, but I don't think Taker is going to actually show up until Mania. Like they did in the Bray program a couple three years ago. I doubt the WWE has officially decided on what's going on last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Cena waiting around Mania forever for UT to show up a la Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin would be a swell payoff as it would be better than the actual match they'd have. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I thought they missed a golden opportunity for Taker to show up tonight. That old gong and "he's here" goes across the PA, Lights out...lights back on and Taker grabs Cena and chokeslam's him. The arena would have gone bonkers. Since the WWE only cares about trends and stuff, they would still be talking about it on Twitter right now. Honestly I think they really are winging a lot of this card together. After tonight, I'm convinced they have no idea who to team Braun up with. It's like "Roman/Lesnar and the Rousey/Angle vs. Triple H/Stephanie" thing have their full attention. Everything else is just filler to pad out the card. This damn show is supposed to be something like 5 hours (not including the pre-show). It's amazing how if you watch a Wrestlemania from the mid 90's, they could have fit Bayley/Sasha on that card no problem. Today...they couldn't even fit in the video for it.

I know they flipped Angle/Lesnar and Rock/Austin at XIX either the day before or morning of the show because of Austin's health scare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Coachman highlight of the week: this exchange! JC: Not many superstars can take The Undertaker off his feet like that! (slight pause) MC: Well, I get your point Coach but that was Kane who Cena knocked off his feet. Â JC: (quietly) My bad... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brysynner Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Asuka killing jobbers dead with her kick is always a treat and Sarah Stock randomly showing up on RAW breaking up Sasha/Bayley makes me now wish she will find her way into the Women's Battle Royal.

Anyone notice Coach say something about Elias knocking back Braun's invitation to team, and the other two go completely nuts at him because it was Ronda he knocked back to team with. Reaction was strange, like he'd spoiled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah, let's replace stupidity with stupidity (but with extra "trying to get himself over on commentary and ignoring matches!" sauce aka the Dusty special). Coachman is dumb, but he doesn't actively take away from the matches with his dumb as fuck rambling and catchphrases. On the flipside, Graves telling the guys he saw Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age in that arena is pretty cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
