Very NSFW: Reveal hidden contents Finn Bálor got injected with a numbing agent and got staples at ringside. Finn Balor is a tough one. Good LORD. No wonder they stopped the match.

For Great Justice Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yeah, color-coded kendo sticks and chairs was lame as shit and all, but that’s indeed a “stop the match” gash and not a “why isn’t WWE allowing blood in HIAC this sucks” cut. Finn is a beast for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a piece of shit thing to do. Considering Cody was an integral part in closing out the Brodie Lee tribute show and none of us know the interpersonal dynamics at play... maybe keep shit like this to yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I haven't watched any WWE at all in a couple years, but really enjoyed night 2. There was only one moment that really took me out of it. To me, it's a pretty unforgivable oversight. There is no way in hell any Scottsman or Irishman worth a damn would be caught dead drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade. I'm sorry. I can't see it. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Idiot King Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Just echoing others at this point, but wow, what a choice for that ending. Completely baffling. I am not into Cody, particularly, but I don't understand what they're doing here at all and it doesn't entice me to keep watching. Cody, at least, would have been a new thing -- a poor substitute for Sami, but still, new. I've said it before and repeat myself here, but WWE can only ever revert to the norm because they have shareholders to appease and so are allergic to change or risks. They are in the CONTENT business these days. I will also stave off any claims of hypocrisy by saying I also do not understand Eddie losing to Claudio or Mark losing to Samoa Joe. I have slightly more faith, based on track record, that something useful and interesting will be salvaged out of those losses, but I certainly can't piece it together from here. I don't think Cody's totally cooked or anything, but I don't see any upside from this for him and I think we are now, legitimately, out of viable contenders for Roman's belt. Any win over him at this point will feel like a pittance. All I can imagine is CM Punk coming back and doing what Cody couldn't, which would be the funniest possible outcome from all of this, so that is what I am now rooting for. More generally, thought Night 1 was among the best nights of Wrestlemania since they split it into two days, and Night 2 was just okay (as is usually the case). Thought Rhea/Charlotte was the best match of the weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed the Gunther slapfest. Relatively sports entertaining, overall.

Phantom Lord Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I thought night two was a bit of a let down compared to night one. Cody vs Roman was the match of the night for me. The triple threat was a close second followed by Asuka vs. Bianca. Sad that Asuka lost. Thought for sure she would win. I'm not surprised Cody lost though. I wish he won, but not surprised he didn't.

Roman Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I haven't watched wrestling in years, and the last WWE content I watched has been at least a decade ago. I saw on another site that WrestleMania just happened, so I thought, 'Cool, let's check the results.' First thing I somehow read: Shane McMahon VS Snoop Dogg and Shane injures himself -- and it's not from that 'elbow drop onto the announce table' spot. Time is a flat circle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Back in the Elimination Chamber thread, I posited The Auteur Theory of the Bloodline. And if we assume my premise there—that the Bloodline began as Vince’s psychodrama about the trials and tribulations of being the patriarch of a family business with Roman as his stand-in, then became HHH’s psychodrama about an outsider trying to prove his worth to the family with Sami as his stand-in… Then I guess we shouldn’t at all be surprised that from the moment Vince officially came back into power, we’ve seen Roman get stabbed in the back by Sami, swat down Sami’s challenge from within, and ultimately swat down a challenge from without (Cody) and stand tall on the eve of Vince’s final victory. Art! Edited April 3, 2023 by EVA 6 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Oh man, my thoughts... - Don't agree with the main event booking, more based on my old school feeling that Mania shouldn't end on a heel victory than anything else. Though for those saying it seemed like a Vince call, I felt a lot more like it came from noted "JCP-style dominant heel champ protected by stable" fan HHH. Not the worst booking decision of the show either. - OK I don't know if they had to audible because of that gash, but Edge winning was way more of a Vince-esque LOL ATTITUDE ERA RELIC WINS moment. Edge and Beth already got the feel good win in the tag match. Balor should've won here. Edge does nothing for me, I never bought him as a main eventer and buy him even less as a "legend". - And then there's Asuka now being 0-4 at Mania. Yes Bianca is a wunderkind in the ring and she's super popular and all but she's starting to become dull invincible champ. Kana, go back to Japan and maybe take Bayley with you because they've reduced her from great heel Karen character to generic evil stable leader. And yes, her stable was also victim to LOL ATTITUDE ERA RELICS WIN... - And finally as a Miz fan...ok ok ok maybe he's got zero ego about his character. Maybe he's the anti-mark for self. Maybe he's content to do his reality show and his interview segments and get beaten up by celebrities and eaten by zombies and such. But a part of me kinda hopes he's seeing how Miz Jr. Friedman is getting booked in the other place and at least is curious about getting Tony Khan's number... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Bayley would be better off anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
