My favourite part of wrestlemania is Randy hating his special entrances.

My favourite "Wrestlemania Moment" ever is the look of absolute disgust he gave Rev Theory when they played his theme live.

yeah it's known he hates his theme music and it was never more apparent lmao

There was a lot of fear of it on Twitter last night. According to someone I trust backstage the SmackDown girls genuinely almost got cancelled, they got a lot of time cut so they did the best with what they had. Hope it gets noted in the Observer or on PWInsider.

Things I liked about Bray-Orton:
-the sister abigail into the barricade
-the visual call-back to the Husky Harris punt
-the ring projections

Things I would've changed:
-change the ending jfc, I feel like they paid Orton back enough by just putting him into this goofy main-event scene which he seemed to Earnestly Enjoy
-maybe teleport some sort of Sister Abigail figure into the ring to shock Orton for the finish
-change the loving ending

okay this is a center of the sun hot take but if the braun/roman match at fastlane is a good roman match its because braun carried him or someone replaced the match with something else on youtube. roman does nothing the whole match, i honestly think you can count the moves he does on two hands

This except Lesnar/Roman

i liked the bray ring projections- i think it's a neat way to indicate his spooky otherworldliness that sort of advances the technical and visual storytelling past taker's lightning- but i think you absolutely do not pull out that trick and then have him lose

i'll bet roman got bitched out at gorilla. missing those two lifts was...wow. just real bad.

Honestly I'd just get rid of his stupid rear end jackoff punch. It's as masturbatory as Vince.gif.

As much as I find Roman boring, I do think he runs the ropes well and if he'd stop his stupid stalky bullshit- yeah, when he gets to moving at a pace that isn't a literal snail, there's some good points. I dunno what you're gonna do with that, though. Maybe a really fancy dropkick? Like I guess you could make him do a 619 sorta thing but I think he'd die doing it. Or his opponent would. Rip.

E: Maybe some kinda crossbody thing? I actually want somebody to throw out some ideas because I sure don't know.

Give him Masato Yoshino's move set or better yet replace him with Masato Yoshino.

I just found out Roman beat Taker and all I gotta say is :laffo:. I've been upset that the only time I could watch any wrestling was days after it got put on hulu. Now I'm much less upset about missing out on RAM for so long.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Chatter about nothing but the Roman match just highlights what nothing matches Jericho/Owens and Orton/Wyatt were. Those both were like 6+ month storylines that resulted in....just normal matches. The Festival of Friendship betrayal was so awesome and then the payoff is....that. Just so underwhelming for some reason. The finishes just came out of nowhere.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Normal mo when someone has a poo poo fit of a match like that and they're both protected guys is to blame someone in the semi main for killing the crowd or someone further down the card for popping the crowd too much and causing burnout. Neither Roman nor Taker will take the blame.
