CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Actually yeah, I wonder if that's as good as it's ever been

I think Beth Phoenix, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Zach Ryder, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk is still the high water mark.

I didn't catch the first half of mania, but other than Orton/Rollins and Brock/Someonewhocares/Rollins, the rest of the matches were bleh. Taker/Bray was bland and sluggish with a bizarre tripping over stairs botch thing and Cena/Rusev was also sluggish with weird booking.

This was a way better show live than it was on paper. They actually understood that HHH/Sting had to be really dumb to work. Stuff that I thought had no chance of being good was awesome.

I don't like Roman Reigns but he looked great tonight. Fair play WWE

Imho he completely ruined it with his sheepish smile.

What kind of plan is that supposed to be ? Expect Brock to get careless by provoking him, in the meantime I'm gonna eat more finishers than Taker ?

With that ending, I have a feeling Vince is digging his heels in with Reigns being The Guy.

Yeah a feud with Reigns is def incoming, but Rollins is a better partner to work off of IMO. Probably drop the title to Reigns at SummerSlam. Unless my dream of reviving the Ambrose/Rollins feud happens. (Now it sure as hell won't)

The real Meltz opinion on the main event

quote:

BROCK LESNAR VS. ROMAN REIGNS FOR WWE TITLE

Incredible match and finish. It was similar early to the Cena vs. Lesnar SummerSlam match where there were a ton of suplexes over and over Lesnar hit one F-5 early but didn't try the pin. He hit a second one and Reigns kicked out. He hit a third one and Reigns kicked out again. Reigns threw Lesnar into the post and Lesnar bled like you wouldn't believe. He was bleeding all over the place and Reigns made his comeback. Reigns hit several superman punches and Lesnar didn't even go down. He finally put Lesnar down on the third Superman punch and hit two spears but Lesnar kicked out. He tried a spear but Lesnar picked him up and gave him another F-5. Lesnar collapsed. Both were dead. Seth Rollins came in and handed the ref the brifcase. It became a Triple Threat match. He went for the curb stomp on Lesnar, Lesnar put him on his shoulders for an F-5. Reigns then speared Lesnar and both went down. Reigns and Lesnar were dead and Rollins gave Reigns the curb stomp and pinned him, so Rollins won, Lesnar didn't lose and Reigns was portrayed in a totally positive light in losing. Really brilliant booking her because you can do Reigns vs. Rollins now and Lesnar against both guys, and even Lesnar vs. Reigns because nobody won that match.

This was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Several great matches, a killer angle and very little that wasn't good.

So why did the world champ lose clean to Randy Orton again? On the night that he won the title, no less?

He has a nice big target on him now.

Lesnar - You never beat me for the championship
Reigns - You stole my Wrestlemania moment
Orton - I beat you at Wrestlemania

Bring on Raw!

Yeah Taker/Bray was Taker selling like he has Parkinson's, not that good but not a complete bedshitting like last year.

Cena/Rusev was worth it for the tank. I get the feeling something was supposed to happen with the shoes that didn't happen?

The only thing is that it will probably lead to DX vs NWO/Sting at a future PPV that will make WCW Hogan/Piper in a cage look like Flair/Steamboat.

That PPV should have been the absolute worst and it was not, so good job

HHH beating Sting is still remarkably dumb though

I think the whole Rock/Ronda thing was an excuse because you can't have Hunter lose if he's going to do a Hunter/Rock altercation with celeb guest. Yeah you could have done it on Raw but it wouldn't be the same.

HHH plays 5th dimention chess if he doesn't want to job.

Definitely wasn't hardway, his forearm was between his head and the post. Also nobody is going to hardway themselves on a loving ringpost.
