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.

Those drat Hardy's got me too hyped so naturally by the end of a 6 and a half hour show, my normal high energy was just gone.

They are going to blame the SD womens division for trying to bring back a dead crowd.

i'm glad to see jr back with wwe but assuming he's on commentary i hope he's not as diluted as he was the last time he was a regular on commentary in like 2013 playing third wheel

My name's Roman Reigns and I'm the Big Dog. Last night I defeated the Undertaker and retired him at Wrestlemania, he was the old Big Dog and he said it was his yard. But it's not his yard anymore, it's my yard now, and I'm the Big Dog. And when you're the Big Dog of the yard, you gotta dig dog -- dig down deep and hold onto that - the yard. There's other dogs in this yard, sure. Small dogs, medium sized dogs, even long or short dogs. Some of 'em got spots. But they aren't the Big Dog, because there's only one now that I retired the Dead Man, the original Big Dog, in his own yard.

Whoever said that Heyman should come out and cut a promo about not being the 1 in 21-1 anymore and Roman comes out and says he could keep the title because he just beat a broken old man and not the Undertaker is so right.

They need to start trimming the fat in the commentary team it's getting kind of ridiculous at this point. Getting rid of Otunga since he's completely useless would be a start. Bryon seems to be getting primed for Cole's job so he'll be mostly white noise with the occasional good call so he'll just be lingering around unless he fucks up royally. I was almost sure they would dump him after WWE threw him in the deep end and made him solo that Raw when Brock F5'd Cole but they must see something in him.

It just shows why JR is arguably the best commentator of all time (sorry Josh Mathews). It was bullshit that JR got canned by the WWE in first place anyways so it's nice to see them right that wrong at least.

I just don't care about his character or storylines. His charisma doesn't resonate with me at all. The guy has great timing for his moves though and with talented people can put on good matches.

So are they seriously going to take the Universal title out of contention for a whole loving year to build to Roman vs. Brock AGAIN? God it must feel great to be stuck on the RAW roster with nothing to compete for.

yeah as loving terrible as the SD Title match was at least you know that at least you might get good matches out of Wyatt/Styles/Miz/Corbin in the future. Not sure what happens next though since Cena is gone probably for the majority of the year now. Would be a perfect time to call up Shinsuke/Almas.

Which is why I don't see Ranallo lasting as long as Cole. I hope he does but something just tells me some bullshit will happen and they can him.

True but hey at least they did it. I think Dave's right. I think WWE foolishly thought that JR would just sit at home and do nothing instead of making it without them since their bubble is ludicrously small.
