This is the face of a winner. This is what winning looks like.

Now, ya see, if Patrick Stewart guest hosted Wrestlemania maybe I could change my tune WWE.

As it is Brock/Goldberg 2 and Roman/Taker just don't sell it for me.

Has WWE put out an official statement regarding the death of Jan Ross? I don't think I've seen them express their condolences anywhere as an official company statement. poo poo even TNA has enough of their poo poo together to put out something on their official twitter feed.

They wished him and her the best on SDL last week, but that was before she passed away.

What would you even do with half the old-school divas in a WWE 2k18 game if they're playable? Their entire moveset would just be slaps.

Don't talk like you're not excited to finally play the Asuka vs BB Bush dream match everyone is clamoring for.

In theory, if you're doing a pre-show on USA, it would be pretty drat smart to put Aries and Neville on right before the main show and give them like 15-20 to work, but that probably won't happen.

I don't really like Aries-Neville on the pre-show but I do think they'll actually have more time than they otherwise would have been given, and I'm good with that.

I don't have strong faith in them booking the show correctly, but from a pure work/entertainment standpoint, I think it could be very good. The product sucks right now and the people in charge of it suck even worse, but most of these guys are very good and I have faith in them bringing it. I expect to be lifted up just to be let down all night, but the good moments should be pretty good.

The Ladder match, Aries vs Neville, and Dean vs Corbin should all be fun. Other stuff might be too.

They want to put a few "must see" matches on the preshow because otherwise why the gently caress would anyone watch a 10-hour or whatever Wrestlemania. They arguably attempted the same thing last year by having the Ryback/Kalisto US Title match on the pre-show. (Also I guess the SD women's match is analogous to the 10-women tag they had last year.)

The preshow is free on Youtube and stuff, main show is pay only. Also a 3 hour show followed by a 6.5 hour show sounds less scary to commit to than a 10 hour show.

Really hoping that we get a few 45 minute promos from Steph and HHH for Wrestlemania. Maybe even a 15 minute backstage segment with Enzo nude talking about chickens.

Oh silly me, an overcoming the odds segment with Sami would be a good thing for Wrestlemania.

A helicopter shot of the yard that is at stake for Roman and Undertaker also. Man there's some good potential for WM33.

The pre-show also airs on USA Network which drew 1.3 million viewers last year, so it's still pretty good exposure for the wrestlers even if they're not on the "real" Mania card.

Aren't preshow matches like 8 mins long with commercials so they can fit more Booker T? Quack quack

One team that sure isn't complaining about being on the preshow, The Usos. On a side note, is it just me or are those 3 Raw teams some of the weirdest teams to have a ladder match with?

Last year Kalisto vs Ryback went 9 minutes, the 10 woman tag went 13, and Usos vs Dudleys went 6.

E: year before, the 4 way tag went 9 minutes and the Andre went 18.
