It's literally the day of the year everyone is supposed to be looking forward to. Not just the money, but knowing it'll be your most watched match all year. It's not like they didn't do this shit before 30, it just was usually the dark match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Honestly, I didn't mind the WrestleMania 5-7 model where there's a million matches and most of them are 6-7 minutes or whatever. You can argue that a match like Blazer and Perfect could have used another 4-5 minutes but in the 5+ that they had they both got a lot of shit in and Blazer looked great in defeat. It was a good showcase for both men. I've talked about Rockers and Twin Towers a hundred times. It's maybe 8 minutes but quite possibly one of my favorite Mania tag team matches ever. Great pace, it was somewhat chaotic.. Rockers put up a valiant effort and Bossman and Akeem looked like beasts. Rockers bumped like crazy for them. Rockers got in some cool double teaming early on. One mistake cost them. Even Hercules and Haku. It's about 6 minutes. Two tough guys just throwing bombs. Now a match like Beefcake and DiBiase is disappointing because they actually get ten minutes and most of it is rest holds and Virgil distractions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That said, I don't know if they can get away with that in this era where pretty much everyone on the roster can go 15-20 minutes and have a MOTYC. If they went 6 minutes the feeling would be they were short changed and deserved more. Like if say the 205 Live finals gets 6 minutes the reaction wouldn't be a Blazer/Perfect situation, it'd be that both men were "buried" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Shayna should be held back from this unless she's winning. She's a natural feud for Rousey and can be brought up post Mania with a lot more hype and time to build the character up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I wouldn't debut Shayna in a battle royale unless they had her just take opponents' arms until they begged to be thrown over the rope...or for a quick death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Shayna shouldn't be anywhere near the main roster for at least a year. We've already got 2 female Goldbergs, there's no need for a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It is more likely just gonna be the make good for all the NXT women who were supposed to be in the Royal Rumble and got bounced when they decided to do almost all "legends" You have 16 women available on the main roster already (counting Alicia Fox and the Bellas) So you really only need 4 or 5 women from NXT (I doubt they go beyond 20) Iconic Duo, Nikki Cross and Aliyah get you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Shayna comes up when Rousey inevitable turns heel so they terrorize the division together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodear Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Or she comes in pissed she had to start at the bottom because she's not the famous one and Rousey gets to walk right into a WrestleMania main event. Either way works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
