On the other hand, Bray hits him with his lariat or weird running-but-not-flying crossbody thing and then Taker just never gets back up, and then WrestleMania just ends.

I'd be cool with Bray/Taker because it lets Taker get a win back and ride off into the sunset, and also brings down Bray, who loving sucks.

Bray and Taker should make very elaborate entrances and then Bray just creams him with a lariat and gets the three right when the bell rings. We're all in it just for the entrances anyways.

Mania is in Texas next year, right? Taker has to be a lock for HOF

Maybe all of the weird non-endings involving Wyatt last year were leading up to his match with Undertaker?

the crab walk actually looks very silly and i laugh every time he does it in increasingly stupid spots while his opponent has to sell the shock of a man walking upside-down on his hands and feet

remember in that ladder match when he crab walked under the ladder instead of climbing it to get the belt

Shame they put Bray against Dean Ambrose and 'Taker against Lesnar, otherwise it could have been billed as winning streak versus losing streak, match of the century right there.

In keeping with the "Dean Ambrose is sleazy" meme, I'm assuming that rule was put into place after someone found Renee looking like the original cover art to Appetite for Destruction.

I think someone mentioned it might be for a Total Divas angle but I obviously don't watch Total Divas.

Court Bauer had an interesting idea on Austin's podcast. As much as they're liking Cesaro/Kidd as a team, he's thinking Cesaro/Neville as a Eurotrash tag team would have a lot of potential, and I agree. Both ridiculously in-shape European guys with a strongman/acrobatic dynamic.

I don't know what Tyson would do though, maybe split off with Rose?

I think Rose has more upside as a manager for a pair like that than he does in the ring, actually. It solves Vince's (imaginary) problem of Cesaro's talking as well.

That was the second best part of the PPV, after Ambrose making his entrance, entering the ring, and immediately tackling Seth out of the ring.

I thought the Rose/Cesaro linkup actually made a lot of sense - Cesaro gave that Serious Wrestleman promo, he lost, and in a couple weeks he said "gently caress it" and joined up with the least serious wrestleman on the roster. I like that three man group but I guess it's the kind of thing that's so low profile they could do whatever with it. They'll probably feud with New Day forever because they're the only trios.

Re: bray/taker

The Wyatt family kidnapping Kane never really got resolved. Kant showed up and joined the authority, the end.

I always thought its be cool if bray used Kane to take out the authority from the inside cause that'd sorta fit in with his thing about false idols or whatever but

With a Taker match incoming, bray stealing Kanes power or even Rowan taking the actual mask and doing something plot wise with that, well I think that'd be a neat way to tie up an angle from two years ago.

It would be but given they went under the impression that last year could be Undertaker's final match it would be silly to go forward with that plan. John Cena is still their biggest star and they treat him as such. That feud wasn't ruined by the Wrestlemania outcome.

Nope. It was ruined when they switched directions going into Extreme Rules and had a cage match so bad that both men looked like gigantic dorks.

At least the LMS was a good match.
