I don't think there was a worthwhile segment on the show.

Miz segment was good and Ronda was there, so that's something. I missed the beginning but sounds like the Roman/Brock thing was treading water too.

I really don't get what Kurt was trying to do in the beginning there.

Ronda needs a lot of work and she is also just so awful on the mic. While I can see why they're hot-shotting her right to the top of the card, it probably would have helped immensely for her to have gone to NXT for a while first. If anything, she needs a mouthpiece like Paul Heyman badly.

There used to be a certain "magic" between the Rumble and 'Mania that is just not there anymore. I thought that things would at least kick into high gear after the two unnecessary 'filler' PPVs were done, but nothing changed. This has got to be some of the worst pre-WM shows yet.

Did you guys see that Shane went to the Caribbean for a vacation and got himself sick? WWE reported it and some have speculated that it was a work, but Meltzer is saying it's real and he's off Mania. So now the match with KO and Zayn is kind of fucked. LOL if they make it another three-way match. Some think that Dean Ambrose might be taking Shane's spot or even Chris Jericho.

nachobro · « **Reply #4625 on:** March 27, 2018, 09:58:25 AM »

Yeah I'm not sure how they can have such a lackluster buildup for what is probably going to be a really good WM.

-- WWE announced via their website that Charlotte Flair is injured and will miss tonight's Mixed Match Challenge where she was scheduled to team up with Bobby Roode to take on Finn Balor & Sasha Banks. WWE is conducting a poll to vote on Charlotte's replacement and the choices are: Carmella, Becky Lynch and Lana.

-- Charlotte was also scheduled to take on Natalya tonight on Smackdown Live, but that match is presumably not going to happen either. At this time, there is no word on if her Smackdown women's title match at WrestleMania against Asuka is in danger of being changed or cancelled.

And there goes another one. I wonder how bad this is? Might explain why Asuka just squashed a jobber last night...

Bryan announced he was tagging with Shane tonight. They seem to be confident that Shane will be OK by Mania I guess.

And apparently Charlotte has a problem with her gums. Not sure how serious that is.

My ideal night for me, personally, is watching Disney movies and drinking a glass of wine by myself in the hotel room. That's my ideal night. I guess people would describe me as the character I portrayed in NXT when I threw glitter and wore tutus and was very bubbly because that's what I love. I love things that are sparkly and glittery and Disney, all of these things a 26-year-old probably shouldn't like but I do."

One dirt sheet says Storm is just there visiting.

Undertaker might have come later to stop people from reporting on it, but there's this speculation that Taker will not come out until Cena is at Mania for a "surprise match," which is the dumbest shit ever. Let's not try to sell more people on the show by not having Taker there for buildup, brehs.

The Cena angle is going on right now and so far...no Taker.

After Monday night's WrestleMania 34 "go-home" episode of WWE RAW went off the air, RAW Tag-Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro came out and attacked Roman Reigns. Eventually, John Cena ran in to make the save. Reigns and Cena hit a Spear and an Attitude Adjustment to send Sheamus and Cesaro retreating to the back. Reigns and Cena posed for the crowd a bit and that was about it. For the third straight week, the advertised post-show dark match main event did not take place.

Roman Reigns on Paul Heyman possibly becoming his advocate:

Quote

"I think it would be really cool. Obviously it comes down to a couple of different things creatively, but I think it would be really neat. I think it would be able to show a different aspect of myself. It really just depends on the route that we want to take my character; if there's any type of evolution that needs to be made in the next couple of years. I think with a character like Paul Heyman, the different things that we could do would be really cool. It would show not only myself, but also him in a totally different light. I wouldn't just be the guy bouncing around not saying anything. If there's something I need to say, I'm going to step up and say it because regardless if I'm with a guy like Paul Heyman, I would not be a Paul Heyman guy, he would be a Roman Reigns guy, that's the way that would work."

Ronda needs a mouthpiece badly, though. Roman doesn't so I wouldn't get the point of aligning him with Heyman unless it was for a much-needed heel turn.

I don't give a shit who manages Ronda, I don't ever want to see or hear that fat fuck Paul E. Heyman ever again. So fucking sick of him.

Based on how much weight he's gained between WM 30 and WM 34, how sweaty he constantly is, and how red he constantly is, I'd say I might get my wish pretty soon

Stro, legit question, what is Heyman’s role in WWE? Is he essentially just a performer that only works with Brock or does he do behind the scenes stuff? Is his Brock’s advocate gig basically a cushy retirement gig?

Entirely on screen talent only, although he does give suggestions for Brock's angles and has been said to still mentor some of the current talent when he's around. The only reason Heyman has a job with WWE at all is because Brock said so. They didn't want to bring him back when Brock came back.

I read somewhere that he played a major part in the booking behind Goldberg/Lesnar II but can't find a link to it. He's still one of the best mouthpieces in the 'E. Ya'll crazy.

His promos for the last two years have been just a chopped up version of the same thing. You could probably program an algorithm to write his scripts at this point. He's a good fit for Brock in the sense that they're both pretty one-note when it comes to their respective crafts. Hopefully Brocks draw will wane soon and they'll send him packing, dude is insanely dull

Definitely won't watch HOF (even when I went to WM I just resold those tickets) but I'll put Impact vs LU on at fighting game weeklies to have something on in the background and glance up at it once in a while. Otherwise just the usual for me: Takeover, WM, Raw, SD

The idea of the HOF ceremony is cool but it never lives up to that and having the fans there honestly turns me off of the whole thing anyway.
