Dolfan in NYC

I honestly liked the match (HHH/Seth), but I did not like the story they were telling, if that makes sense. I thought the match should have been Rollins on the attack, with HHH countering whatever Seth threw his way. Eventually, he hits the Pedigree and it doesn't finish HHH. Seth realizes, if I'm going to beat HHH and grow, I've got to bust out something that HHH has no counter for (God's Last Gift) and that beats him. Seth grows out of HHH's shadow, the King is slain, and everyone moves forward. Instead, we got 25 minutes of who can Pedigree who, which was aight. But, not what I wanted out of it.

If Brock is willing to play ball, Lesnar-Styles getting 20 will be the bee's knees. Drifter getting called up is odd. But the dude is a heat machine. I pray they know what they're doing with him. I am looking forward to Nakamura showing Orton what it actually is like to get kneed in the head.

My preview of Meltzer star ratings for this:

Jesus Christ is AJ good at what he does.

BTW, I must give a little love to JBL for hoping they get Chet Chetterfield to replace Otunga.

Yankees prospect Clint Frazier apparently asked the Yankees to unretire #7 for him. That went about as well as you would expect.

Also, didn't Meltzer say she's staying in NXT "for a while"? That sounds like post-SummerSlam at least. For women, I think Alexa and Charlotte are getting switched. Though Emma could rule Smackdown with an iron fist.

Rollins hurt his knee on the way to the ring.

I will always say Baron Corbin looks creepy & weird when he's smiling.

There's no better way to describe this show, so I'll let these two do it:

The report is Romo will be replacing Simms. That sound you heard was your (and my) pants flying off.

God is UNC playing an infuriatingly stupid game. I get the feeling Roy is going to make them run suicide sprints for every free throw they miss next season

Again, screw them for teasing me with Braun vs Brock. Jesus. Roman's epic troll job was amazing. I'm still holding out hope he'll actually be treated like a heel. We'll see. And Balor got a fucking MAN-SIZED pop. Really great seeing him back. Oh, and if you hated that Sheamus and Cesaro song, you probably hate puppies, and apple pie, and the god damned United States of America. That was magnificent.

Taker never had over half the crowd rejecting him as a face.

FWIW - Meltz sez, Taker asked for Cena, Vince gave him Roman.

This was the part that was most striking to me about the final match. Once Reigns kicked out of the tombstone, every single person in the crowd knew what was going to happen. So, the vicious boos and "bullshit" chants eventually just became... silence. (Especially after the botched tombstone reversal.) Goddamnit guys... The motherfucking UNDERTAKER just got retired by the company's ace. It wasn't shocking, it wasn't a huge moment, it just happened. And the crowd reacted that way. This is a bad sign.

Reading this thread has made me realize how much wrestling fans despise other wrestling fans. Christ on sale.

Hey, not only is it Mania Sunday. But it's also Opening Day~! And already, Yankees fans are turning on their ace. Welcome back baseball!

Hey... so the UConn women are currently being taken to the woodshed by Mississippi State.

Didn't hear until tonight that Brian Grant has Parkinson's. Respect.
