Matt D Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, FluffSnackwell said: Triple H really skimped on the full-on Immortan Joe prosthetics. Aces N' Eights biker ski mask is a serious downgrade from past glorious Masters of The Universe cosplay headpieces. He skimped on Steph as Furiosa (Tina Turner maybe?). My favorite part of that entrance is that he did the whole thing with a mouthful of water so he could spit it when he took the mask off. What a goof. I crashed before the main event started. So did the crowd, it seems. Who can blame them? Kofi moment was great. Match was a masterful Bryan performance. The emotion on Woods' face as he pulled off the curtain to reveal the Kofi belt was probably the best thing on the show. Let's also note that they had next to no heels coming out of this looking strong. I hope you guys like the idea of Rollins vs Corbin.

RIPPA Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Putting aside actual wrestling ability - I still find it a little odd that belts went to the IIconics Mainly because of how heel heavy all the women teams are across both brands. Unless Beth Phoenix is sticking around. It definitely came across as "We have too many babyfaces winning so here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Beth Phoenix is sticking around. It definitely came across as "We have too many babyfaces winning so here" Listening to Beth on the E&C pod, it sounds like it was a onetime deal, a proper way to end her career, at Mania teaming with her friend, to honor their fathers, as opposed to her last match on being a random SD episode.

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Didn't Triple H do a Mad Max thing a few years back. I could have sworn he did, but no-one I was watching with remembered it. Has it got to the point where I'm inventing bloated Triple H entrances in my head? Also, did Kevin Owens make an appearance at all during the night? I get that they didn't want him to job in the Andre, but I don't even recall seeing him in the back at all. I have to think he's getting a make-good since the original plan was him facing Bryan.

RIPPA Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 This is cute - Hawkins said this was legit the first time his daughter got to see him win a match EDIT: Also cute - the moment of panic in Ryder's eyes when he jokingly yells "Hey Chelsea let's get married now!" and you hear off camera a really loud YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm mostly indifferent to the length of Kofi's reign now that the feel-good moment has been had, but I would KILL for a Joe/Kofi World Title match coming out of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably call him a loser who takes it all to seriously and shit all over him. If I lost 269 matches in a row, I would wear that belt 24/7. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm happy they gave Gargano and Kofi their moments. Say what you want about Gargano/Cole, but seeing Gargano FINALLY win the big one gave me the feels specially after seeing how the entire thing has developed. Same with Kofi. Great, great stuff.
