I forgot AJ/Orton, which actually should be pretty good too since Randy appears to give a shit for this feud.

So far the Mania card looks like this: Confirmed matches Brock/Seth Ronda/Becky/Charlottte Roman/Drew HHH/Big Dave Miz/Shane Boss n Hug/Divas of Doom/Nia & Tamina/probably the IIconics based on how the story is going Angle/Corbin Murphy/winner of 205 Live #1 contender tourney Probably happening: Bryan/Kofi Finn/Lashley/Lio in some kind of gimmick match Multiple team match for Raw tag titles Multiple team match for SD tag titles (since that's all they ever seem to do for tag belts on PPV anymore) Cena/TBD Joe/somebody apparently not Cena despite it seeming to be be what the storyline with Truth was going towards So despite the various fucky ways we got there, most of those matches look pretty solid.

This is such a weird match to book, one guy's half the Mania main event and the other guy just challenged the returning hero. Why book a match between two people who should be kept strong and not lose?

Maybe Brock comes out to kil Seth and Roman makes the save?

BIG DAVE dropping truth bombs out here

lol they're making the fans dislike of Baron/Angle part of the story

Dana, who was fast tracked from NXT because fitness model, is the underdog here....cool.

Oh hey, they remembered that Mojo angle everyone thought they gave up on.

Damn, Beth is *jacked*

Whoever was chanting for CM Punk during a fucking Kurt Angle/Chad Gable match needs to be banned from ever watching any wrestling ever again.

He is, he (allegedly) beat his ex wife.

Are they gonna get Travis involved in this angle now?

Holy shit I legit almost barfed from the zooming on those chairshots.

The DEA raided him for improper use of donated money, he took it from the charity's account and used it at a casino and for personal expenses.

Well it took them five years, but they are finally going to give the Warrior Award the way it was intended. Sue Aitchison, who has been with the company over 20 years is the liason between them and Make-A-Wish (among other community relations things) was named this year's recipient.

That reminds me, she appeared in one of Xavier Woods' videos playing D&D which to me was more business exposing than anything Ronda did.

I look forward to there being more Dana Brooke truthers online because she looks like a different person without all the heavy WWE makeup.

It was actually a pretty good show all things considered, I didn't notice any technical issues other than someone forgetting Super Fly got killed in a previous match and played his music for the Rey de Reyes match. I also watched the Spanish feed so I assume Vampiro was horrible as usual on the English one.

The Lucha Brothers won the tag titles, the Bucks came out and they did the Hogan/Yoko WM 9 deal where they challenged them and won the belts.

Cody announced to the Mexican fans that not only would AAA stars be appearing in AEW, that AEW guys would be showing up in AAA as well. He also announced that Hugo would be the Spanish "correspondent" for AEW. Konnan and his crew came out to confront Cody about making announcements without asking him first, and seemed to imply there would be a match between Cody and Taurus at some point.

So CMLL did their show where they honor Salvador Lutteroth and another legend, and this year's was Blue Demon. This ended up unexpectedly amusing since Demon's biological non-wrestling son was there to represent the family and not Blue Demon Jr. (who beyond his actual relation to him is main eventing AAA's shows and wouldn't be there regardless), and got booed hard by the hardcore Arena Mexico fans. AAA has Rey de Reyes tonight, and all signs are pointing toward AEW involvment. The Bucks were photographed in the Mexico City airport, and the thinking is they'll end up in the match for the AAA tag titles (it's kind of a giveaway they would never have a tag title match in the main event slot unless something is going down). I believe AAA announced Cody would make an apperance but he obviously won't be wrestling since he's still recovering from getting his knee getting scoped.

It seems from context clues in their conversations Garrett lives near Dave, perhaps they are IRL friends?

We should make a list of people who got their momentum derailed because Brock had to be kept strong. I know Vince has a fear of creating the impression WWE is losing guys, but at the end of the day he basically was shoveling money in the furnace just to keep Brock.

Because someone (Bruce? I forget now, one of the podcast mafia) used it as a sledgehammer to prove Dave doesn't know what he's talking about while purposely not mentioning he said it would be Hogan before the show. So now we have to deal with Dave having to individually reply to all the trolls who respond to him with "lol Mabel". Also holy shit every time I'm reminded of the ridiculous PPV cut Hulk had, fuckin' WCW man.

James Gunn got rehired to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3, so it's been a good week for Big Dave getting things he wants.
