FluffSnackwell Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 13 hours ago, Phantom Lord said: I thought a few years ago when they had some random 4 way match on RAW to determine who would face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, that was the worst idea for a match build for him. Tonight they have surpassed that. I mean, they seem to like doing that cellphone video promo stuff. You're telling me that The Undertaker couldn't have just sent one of those in sometime in the last two months so they could have that on hand to give Cena an answer? Hell...at RAW 25 when The Undertaker was actually there. They couldn't have set up the match right then and there? They've done more with less. The Ronda thing has been ruined from the start all cause they hedged all their bets on The Rock teaming with her and they never thought for a second that it probably wouldn't happen. The "which hand do you use" reminded me of that scene from Casino where Pesci breaks the card cheater's hand with a hammer. It's a shame they're over scripting her to the point she can't even say "now I know which one to break so you'll still be able to sign my checks". I was half expecting when Triple H and Stephanie kept saying "we make the rules" that Stephanie was gonna ban Ronda's arm bar. Such simple stuff and they don't do it. Slight nitpick. It was actually Ace Rothstein's Casino security that broke the Gorton Fisherman's hand. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfft, like I would want to book RAW anyway. If I had the book, we'd be riding a rocket straight to Rusevmania. Seriously though my point was...ANYTHING would have been better than what they did which was nothing. I mean at least have Taker convey that he isn't interested at first. Then all of Cena's trolling would have been for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffSnackwell Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Maybe Undertaker's been really bad constipated this past six weeks and is unaware or unable to respond to Cena's challenge. Following his triumphant return at WrestleMania, I smell Undertaker endorsing prune flavored laxative smoothies from the newly relaunched Ico Pro brand.

He can sit front row for the first couple of matches then Elias talks some smack and Cena jumps the rail to hit the AA Then he gets tackled by security, thrown out of the building and suspended. And appears on every subsequent RAW and/or SmackDown, because we know how WWE treats suspensions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all of Cena's trolling would have been for something. Being there live, I and Everyone else knew Undertaker was coming, Even as the Show went off the Air. Plus no doubt Cena won over the crowd big time. I guess that' the whole point of this is that we the audience think we know everything. Don't get me wrong I would've marked out big time for Taker last night but this was a swerve that actually didn't turn off the crowd. If Taker doesn't show up this year than fine but I'm sure we'll be watching the show wondering if he does show up. It's interesting how they have been doing alot of prolonged booking in a few of the last couple of Manias. So I'm sure next year would be a lock for this match. Cena deserves to have Taker at the best he could possily get to at this point so another year might be best. After RR last year, Roman had to work the match against a hurt Taker and that wasn't fair to him. He should've sat out last year but I'm sure Taker truly believed he was done.

DreamBroken Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 They overdid the copyright thing in NXT, maybe they'll bring it to Mania. Flash the copyright logo so everyone thinks the show is over then as it's approaching midnight, lights out and Undertaker's music finally hits.

They can take inspiration from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and have Undertaker emulate Zarquon: “Er ...” he said, “hello. Er, look, I’m sorry I’m a bit late. I’ve had the most ghastly time, all sorts of things cropping up at the last moment.” He seemed nervous of the expectant awed hush. He cleared his throat. “Er, how are we for time?” he said, “have I just got a min-” And so Wrestlemania ended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Bayley got a pretty solid reaction last night, but that crowd also had loud non-split Cena and Roman chants. They were rather into everything so I wouldn't read too much into it. I feel it is a shame that Sasha isn't getting a legit Mania match (especially when Nia is) but Bayley is coming in off a several months long run of mediocrity and not being that over, being in the battle royal is probably a fair place for her this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 To be fair, Nia/Alexa has a year of back story to it, and at some point you have to give the overpowering force of the division a featured match. I'm assuming/hoping that Bayley/Sasha spend most of the battle royal fighting, and end up being eliminated at the same time as the final elimination by the eventual winner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'd rather see one of them win and the other then proceed to trying to murder the other after destroying the trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I expect something along the lines of Rumble 92 Sid/Hogan between them, hopefully with them brawling at ringside/up the ramp for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think the ideal situation for the women's battle royale is that Bayley and Sasha are the last two and they spend a good handful of minutes trying to absolute murk each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It's probably time for Bayley to screw over Sasha. So maybe Bayley does win but I'd love if Sasha pulls a Bret Hart. Also, that trophy stinks so I'm fine with destroying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 You could insert Becky in the middle of it as the Third Horsewoman since there are really only 4 options to win the thing if we assume it will make some sort of logical sense. Of course, Mojo won the Andre last time so logic is out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
