I dont watch WWE, was this good for anyone who does? Does this open up some sort of booking I dont see that makes sense? Like i thought this was absolute dogshit but Im curious if that’s because I’m not a fan so I dont understand X

what the gently caress is X?

as someone who's watched every loving episode of raw and smackdown for the past 18 months

it's bad

There was no way Edge was gonna win though, they wouldn't be able to build a program around a champion that might fall apart with every bump

Roman heel turn is legitimately better than 99% of Smackdown, you have Paul Heyman as manager for Christ's sake, and Jey Uso who is a good performer as an enforcer

This is an indictment of the product as a whole

lol i just remembered that the fiend/alexa bliss thing started from the feud between braun strowman and the fiend, and the fiend turned her to get to strowman for the universal championship

strowman threw alexa down to try to kill her and turned heel?

then tried to be king of raw underground and fought with dabba kato i think?

then choo choo motherfucker

It started embarrassingly earlier than that, because Alex/Stroman were part of the Mixed Match Challenge, and Stroman's feud with Bray Wyatt had him seeing visions of Alexa Bliss. Nothing makes sense after that.

How about this: an NXT graduate winning the championship at mania on her first try with no build up is gonna make her reign hollow and undeserved

Christ, at least they built bianca up to be this insanely powerful wrestler over the course of several months and she won the rumble

I'd call her feud with Sasha to be one of the best angles/payoffs in recent memory, the slow burn storybuilding where she gets more and more jealous, people knowing it's coming but not knowing when, and when the snap finally happened it owned hard

It felt like Wrestlemania was actually an advertisement for the TV product rather than having proper blowoff matches that ends feuds tbh

Lazy like a Fox posted:

The PPVs have been like that for ages, and I'm not sure I blame them since they make most of their money on the TV/Streaming deals for the TV shows.

When was the last time WM really felt like a "Season Finale"? When DB won? Even before that it feels like WM was building to TV or Backlash.

That's true, but it just feels like this WM was even more egregious, especially Night 2 main event.

Cesaro vs Reigns with Nakamura protecting against Jey Uso would be a match I'd watch.

Why would it be a poo poo post? Rhea is the second greatest NXT women’s champion after Charlotte and their feud last year was best thing in the women’s division in 2020. Its a money feud that’s already established. And Asuka has been off for the last couple of months so much that even Rhea couldn’t get a good match out of her
