Elsalvajeloco Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I can see a scenario where Vince gets moved out sooner rather than later. This is just part of the series of events that will lead to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 He holds 70% of voting shares, so moving him out would be extremely difficult. You know how every year after the Royal Rumble they premiere a documentary about the previous year's WrestleMania? Next year's should be way more interesting than the actual event, even WWE-sanitized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge vs. Randy Orton was successfully taped this week. Meltzer confirmed PWInsider's report earlier Friday that Buddy Murphy was indeed sick and didn't come to the TV tapings this week. Meltzer added that no one sick was allowed around, even if they had a cough or a stuffy nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 They should've brought in Survival Tobita to work the show because him being SURVIVAL Tobita means he won't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I get that things have probably taped, but now I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't hit SO much disaster that Zayn vs Bryan had to main event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for people who thought that this Wrestlemania wasn't going to be 2 four hour shows. So Bray vs Cena is now a Firefly House of Fun match. Which I assume is like that god awful Bray vs Orton match only with less of a crack house look and more of a demented Mr Rogers Neighborhood vibe WWE acting like Reigns vs Goldberg is going to happen is just stupidity to me given everyone knows the story. I doubt they will talk about this on RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Doesn't Borash do production work for WWE now? Maybe he can help Cena-Wyatt be more Final Deletion than House of Horrors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 So I guess there way of compensating for the 50 person limit is to have matches in almost all of the different setting of Full Sail? You put 5 people near the Boneyard match.location you put 5 people near the Firefly Match match location. Find some wacky location high in the air for 5 people to deal with Corbin vs Elias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Elias vs Corbin should be a bungee cord match based upon tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is shut down due to cornavirus, people are dying for fuck's sake yet this is carrying on. It's not worth risking your talent picking this damn thing up. Had to get that off my chest.

But, yeah, nobody believed Brock would win (and isn't that amazing in hindsight) and when the match didn't turn into something special or convince them otherwise, no one cared. Then the finish happened... On 3/23/2020 at 2:19 AM, JonnyLaw said: I remember watching Brock hit the third F5 and thinking “Wow, they’re really going to have Taker kick out of thre... wait... what...” I remember going and coming home with my Dad talking about WrestleMania XXX saying there was no chance The Undertaker was going to lose to Brock Lesnar. I didn't watch the show live, I recorded it and watched on the Monday with my dog, Tess on me. When THAT finish happened, I just sat staring at the screen in shock/disbelief. I was so pissed off, if it wasn't Daniel Bryan in the main event, I'd likely have turned it off. Most holy fuck moment in all my years as a fan of wrestling. I actually bought WrestleMania XXX on DVD, I rarely do the events but made an exception with Daniel Bryan defeating the Authority becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion, it was a great show and with two of the best video packages you'll ever in Daniel Bryan's Monster and Legacy for Cena/Wyatt. I just hoped the music for both wasn't edited. On 3/23/2020 at 2:56 AM, (BP) said: I wonder how those follow-up Taker/Brock matches with all of the nut shots hold up. I recall them being somewhat well received, but that may have been in comparison to the XXX match. On 3/23/2020 at 8:14 AM, Brian Fowler said: I remember liking SummerSlam, despite the weird finish, and really really liking the Cell. Probably the last high end Taker matches. But I haven't revisited them either. Undertaker's last truly great matches. I've always preferred the SummerSlam match even with the screwy finish. 'Taker deserved a win over Brock Lesnar having putting the over the way he did in 2002, 2003 and especially ending The Streak in 2014. The best Undertaker/Lesnar match? No Mercy 2002 inside the Hell in a Cell. What a show that was. 21 hours ago, RIPPA said: BTW - the other big reason Reigns withdrew (and I am sorry that fact is being reported on ESPN's front page so its not a spoiler) is that The Miz is sick and was still showing up to wrestle. PWI reports that the Miz was pulled from the show (And Meltzer says it was the Usos who raised concerned that the Miz was there trying to work sick) If you asked me what WWE coworker would show up despite being sick, The Miz and AJ Styles.

The Natural Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Another Smackdown spoiler relevant to this show: Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena in the Firefly Fun House. It can't be the worse than the horrible Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton match at WrestleMania XXXIII with fucking bugs beamed onto the ring canvas in one of the worst WWE Championship matches ever at a WrestleMania...can it?

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I can't see any way WM isn't sad and pitiful. I kinda sorta understand what Vince is thinking. Who knows when they'll be able to run live shows for crowds again or if there will still even be a company if it isn't safe to run live events again for a year or more. On the other hand, if this does somehow being the last gasp of his company, is this really the way he wants to go out? Sometimes, you're better off just yielding to conventional wisdom and going on on a high note. It's not like he can't trot out PPV's and the like to fill tv air time.
