I can't believe we got another Zayn vs Owens match. How many is that after their one at Battleground which was supposed to be the last time they ever faced each other?

Also, boo to Neville/Aries being on the preshow.

The saying used to be if you can't watch it live, watch it later. I will definitely watch it later :unsmith:

It's just a shame I'm gonna miss out on the live last second/come to their senses announcement that Shane McMahon is in no shape to wrestle and will be replaced by his Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.

At this point I want SHane to announce a champion and have it be literally anyone other than Nakamura.

If there's one thing I do like about Wrestlemania this year it's that it's the first time in recent memory that many of the heels have better motivation than the faces do, and are easier to root for. I don't think that's due to good writing, more that they keep booking heels like underdogs.

I'm glad Sami Zayn is getting tv time every raw where he's called a loser over and over.

I think Goldberg should spear Lesnar, then spear Heyman and then spears Lesnar again and pins him and as Goldberg celebrates Lesnar never moved until the show takes a dark somber turn and the doctors come out and we learn Lesnar has actually died from the spear and then we also learn that Heyman too has died from the spear.

Basically everyone dies at this show is what I'm looking for

I like your plan but it would be even better if Goldberg then speared himself and also died.

Sami Zayn should enter the ARMBAR and when he gets in the ring he looks around at all the big muscle men and pisses himself and falls over and they have to rush him to the hospital while Stephanie flexes all over him.

In theory, I'm actually sort of excited for the UNSANCTIONED STREET FIGHT between Seth/HHH, even though the Mania build has been poo poo. But are there any reports about what kind of shape Seth's knee is *actually* in? Obviously he's not gonna be out there on one leg, but do we know how limited he's gonna be (if much at all)?

"Levesque fosters talent growth with NXT, and some of his proudest moments can now be viewed as the talent elevates itself to the main roster and wins WWE championships. The greatest payoff is the celebratory picture with Levesque.

http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/03/27/wwe-triple-h-paul-levesque-nxt-cruiserweight-brands

This explains everything. HHH and Stephanie actually think that they are the good guys. I hope Vince never dies because holy gently caress this company is screwed.

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold

quote:

“People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets,” said Levesque. “Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already?

“If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.”

Do his t shirts even sell that well? Aren't they having some of the lowest ratings and losing viewership daily? Also not to mention yes he gets booed but honestly I feel like they aren't really passionate boos. The fans seem to not care about Roman that much unless he is slated to win a main event or have some huge moment. His match with Braun last month I feel like the fans really didn't give a poo poo, but yeah you put them in there with undertaker the boos will be louder than normal.
