  1. First three matches were top notch. The opener wasn't the cleanest but was just straight up fun as hell, so the perfect match for that spot. Dream/Riddle was stiff as hell and then Walter and Dunne upped the ante even further.

    I'm good on Gargano Epics basically forever. Tonight was full blown Johnny God Mode.

  2. That ending was amazing. Retconning all of the evil undead pro wrestling gimmicks to originate from a single source, with Kevin Sullivan at the helm no less, is some top notch shit. I presume Kevin got the promotion from Taskmaster when King Curtis died.

    Think of the possibilities! Now we know where Bray Wyatt has been this whole time.

  3. I will say again that IMO the right play was to send Harper down to Full Sail as the visiting ace (the Cesaro role), win the title and defend in a few classics until they had something for him, then drop it to Riddle, leaving after a few months as a reinvented and reinvigorated guy with a new wave of traveling/internet fan base hype.

  4. I do agree that the post-WM Raw being all sentimental and Revolution-y at the end only for clown face Asuka to show up and justifiably beat the living hell out of everyone is one way to right the ship after WM. Move her and Becky to Raw to feud there, Charlotte to SD and do an open challenge kind of deal to build up a new crew of contenders there and off you go.

  5. I do agree with what was said in the WM thread about this introducing some non-zero risk of the fans turning on the main event. They will be tired. They will be cranky. And they will remember that one of their favorites lost out in this who chain of events. Especially if they play the social media angles posted above, they are sowing a seed they didn’t need to plant.

  6. Ok I got a kick out of the swerve ending.

    If this were 1980 that would be “kill the town” stuff. I mean that crowd just went kerplunk. I was expecting WCW-ish trash and beer in the ring. But as a TV product I love the swerve and am looking forward to next week.

    Poor 205 live guys

    The thing that is amusing/horrifying is that this is the third WM in a row they have zero plans for Braun. I agree that it seems like he's completely screwed as a top act. He's basically Ryback when he was teaming with Curtis Axel now.

    I think Wrestlemania and The Royal Rumble should be two night events, but they'd still find a way to make each night's show 6 hours long.

    Braun SNL bit leads to heel sneak attack leads to Nicholas run in and kendo stick ball shots 

  8. God this Shooter McGavin shit is the absolute worst and needs to crawl back into the same hole that other turn of the decade relics like the word “extreme” and Tank Abbott pulling a knife on a dude live. 

    For a guy who I think more or less shares my idyllic view of wrestling as 1983 Mid South, I’m disappointed that HHH is both condoning this and booking his own shitty shoot promo feud.

    Bill Watts ain’t book no shoot angle

  9. I know WWE performers are 1099’s, but do they have to pay state income taxes in only the state they are domiciled in, or like professional sports pay state income taxes in every state in which they perform?

    I presume the former, which explains why so many live in Florida. Do professional entertainers (singers, etc) pay state income in states they perform in? Curious how this works.

    Joe vs. Cena at Wrestlemania has to happen. 

    This is a feud that’s been right there for them for a while. I think they were gonna run with it last year when one or the other dude got hurt (can’t remember).

    Anyway the inevitable Joe promo about being boys in UPW while Cena went Hollywood and Joe took the hard road will be incredible. Cena’s shooty mcshootshoot stuff about “Orlando” notsomuch.

  11. If putting Ali in that spot was some kind of interesting test of his ability to be an upper card baby face that dude passed with flying colors. Not many guys on the roster pull off what he did.

    Has to bode well for his future
