Is this the worst Mania buildup ever? It's gotta be up there.

They got out of making a SD women's match by putting the title on someone in the Raw match

funny thing is they were advertising a 4 way match on SD to find an opponent for Asuka up until yesterday and then they decided "fuck it" and went this route.

Definitely expect WM to end with the Four Horsewomen all holding up their titles, even if Becky and Charlotte just tried to kill each other for 25 minutes

That...actually makes a lot of sense. So I can see the WWE not doing it! But that could also set up the horsewomen vs. horsewomen feud.

I feel like you could say that for every WM for the past decade or more.

Yup

$:-\$

Half-expecting next week's Smackdown to have Vince come out and say "I said Kofi is going to Wrestlemania...but I didn't say in a match against Daniel Bryan!"

and one more episode of fuckery dedicated to him having to do something to earn the shot for the umpteenth time.

bork · « **Reply #5943 on:** March 27, 2019, 09:50:33 AM »

The current Mania card:

Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins
Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston
Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair
Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio
Bobby Lashley vs. Finn Balor
Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese
Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Nia Jax & Tamina vs. Natalya & Beth Phoenix vs. IIconics
Triple H vs. Batista
Shane McMahon vs. The Miz
Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin
Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Can't say I really give a shit about the majority of these and most of the build-ups have been just awful. I like how the first-ever women's tag title match -DEFENDED ON ALL BRANDS!!!!!!- is 3/4ths Raw and the Iiconics and that's it.

Dunno if I'm even going to be able to watch it live since I'll be out of town on vacation...but that might be a good thing.

You forgot the women's battle royale and matches for the raw and sd tag titles, though I guess those haven't been set yet. Gonna be a long show, will probably watch it in two parts

i thought there was gonna be usos vs hardys or was that just teased? i remember the usos calling them out on SD at some point.

either way, too much shit already.

just make the champs fight each other on the preshow or something. usos vs revival would be pretty good.

Some wrestlers play their theme music and come out to distract rivals in a match... but only Velveteen Dream comes out on a couch pulled by two women, sipping from a goblet as a fog machine envelops the stage in fog.

NEVER, EVER GO TO THE MAIN ROSTER, DREAM. YOU'RE TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR THAT WORLD. STAY IN NXT FOREVER.

I see Meltzer and other dirt sheets are all saying that they must have put the title on Charlotte just to have that "horsewomen moment" at the end of Mania. A bunch of the women's division wrasslers all voiced their displeasure over what happened to Asuka on Twitter. Even Charlotte kind of broke character on it.

Unless they say something next week, the main event is still only for the Raw title despite Charlotte having the SD title.

They just did Ali/Joe for the title last night, but I guess that hasn't stopped them before. Cena and Joe would be

but entertaining. Also is Mustafa Ali just Ali now? His titantron video was just ALI in rainbow colors with a black screen and nothing else

WWE network has the whole thing scheduled for 7.5 hours including pre-show but it's bound to run longer. I doubt I'll make it through the whole thing in one night.

Also:

Becky
Seth
Kofi

Joe
Iiconics
Nak/Rusev
Revival
Murphy
HHH
Miz
Corbin I guess?
Roman
AJ

Asuka

Pete Dunne v Walter was fucking amazing. Easily the best match I've seen this year. Those dudes went fucking IN on each other, its probably going to be the match of the weekend. Really loved the women's 4 way and Riddle/Dream too. I've been a fan of Matt Riddle for a while but I'm glad Dream retained. Surprised that Gargano won cause I thought he was going to be going up (he's already been on Raw/SD like Black and Ricochet) but goddamn that match was fantastic, both dudes took a lot of punishment there.

Also watched that Deathmatch on Joey Janela's thing...uh goddamn these dudes are nuts lol. Most of the other people watching were not down with that. Peeped some of the Penis Party stuff and it was pretty hilarious Matt Striker+Best Friends vs Dreamer/Colt Cabana/Some dude who shit his pants was a fun match with a nice dumb ending. Same goes for the weird gauntlet match or w/e that the blowup doll won. The whole thing was real silly but very entertaining.

Rewatching Dream/Riddle and I'll never not laugh at Dream going full Hogan. Him giving Riddle the finger wag after hulking up

Dream is so great because he's basically just out there doing a lot of vanilla moves but everyone eats it up. One day he's going to main event WM doing nothing but double axe handles, a dream valley driver, and purple rain maker and 70k people are going to shit themselves. Love that dude.

Tana definitely seems to only exist to take Ls to people in their 20s. Which is fine at his age, I guess. That ending match was something else and I was pretty down on it but also I was tired af so who knows what I'll think of the WM main event tonight.

(i probably won't make it that far tonight) I did enjoy the rest of the show but nothing really stood out much.

I did like the ladder match though, it had some good spots and that final fall for Jay Lethal was intense. Not knowing shit about ROH they seemed to make Matt Taven seem like a big deal but I've never heard of him so

Also no idea who Megaran (the rapper dude) was but goddamn he got the most heat of anyone all night

Other than being extremely long, that was a solid WM show. I missed the second half of the H/Batista match and all of Corbin/Angle driving home so I feel like I didn't actually lose out much.

Seth

Kofi

Becky

Iiconics

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5987 on:** April 08, 2019, 11:59:46 AM »

The HHH/Batista match being the longest match of the night was bullshit, but really other than that and Hogan showing up and not getting immediately murdered by the Velveteen Dream the show was as good as it possibly could have been. Well, I would have liked to have seen a more definitive victory for Becky but we'll see where they go.

I'm also loving the reaction from online wrestling fans. Before the show the general opinion was that it'd be shit cause they wouldn't give us all the babyface title changes we wanted. Now the general opinion is that the show was shit because they gave us all the babyface title changes we wanted and/or the ending wasn't perfect.

These people are impossible to please.

Nothing I saw came close to Takeover as expected, but nothing stunk either I guess. Still need to watch the main event.
