Seth gonna get the biggest pop of Mania weekend for beating Logan Paul's ass

I have to admit Seth as Hot Topic Joker is inspired casting.

Reason 98789789 it's great Vince is no longer in creative: Asuka getting to murder people like nature intended.

The streak of awesome promos continues, Paul has been on fire.

god damn, Paul out here fuckin' wives.

I'm gonna LOL if Cody goes full 80s Patriotic Babyface in front of this Canadian crowd.

Then again I guess it does make sense since he's always been DIet HBK and now Regular HBK is in that role too.

It feels weird having Dolph in the role of Wise Veteran Trying to Educate the Youngin's.

It's easy to forget how relatively new he is to all this, and I'm actually kind of enjoying him in this role even of he stumbles on his words sometimes.

Man, Rhea really was taunting the Wardrobe Malfunction Gods at the PPV.

Sami gets a Baron Corbin feud? GTFO

KO with the harsh truths

He truly is this generation's Mick Foley

This Mania build is so weird, in storyline Seth wants the US title so bad he'd go through the Elimination Chamber but now he's going to forget all that to chase after Logan Paul. Now John Cena gets to walk in after not being around for two years (save a cameo at the end of the year) and gets a title match at Mania.

It's not an exact parallel because nobody died, but Dave mentioned last night was like if Kerry lost the big match at Texas Stadium after all the hype. It was going to fizzle out either way since Kerry wasn't going to be a viable long term champion for numerous reasons, but he absolutely had to win that night, just like it felt Sami had to win last night.

Funny to see WCCW held up as an example of wrestling being better before it was all about childhood dreams, when the main focus was the Von Erich boys chasing the title their dad never was able to win.

I will say it was funny hearing Paul Heyman on the receiving end of a "you fucked up" chant. Time truly is a flat circle.

I suppose it will all work out in the end, but way to once again train your fans that the hero babyface will always lose in the end, so why bother getting behind anybody. Then wonder why they struggle so bad with making new stars. Plus they didn't even give us the Sami/KO reunion at the end. Just seems like a huge missed opportunity all around. Crafting this masterpiece of a storyline only for the ultimate payoff being Cody winning the belts just seems like a waste of everyone's time in the end.

Also it's going to be fun trying to avoid the spoiler minefield since I won't be able to watch until I get home from work.

At this point, fuck it give Sami the belts. WWE loves "making moments" and that would be an all timer. I know they have their plans and whatnot but this is reminding me of when Baba decided the day of the show Misawa was going over after hearing the crowd going nuts for him. It would be a great way to show to the talent that this isn't Vince booking so we don't have to beat the white hot babyface in his hometown anymore. Not that I expect it to happen, but a guy can dream.

Sami just pouring every fiber of his soul into that promo, WWE better have riot police on hand if they are having him lose tomorrow, goddamn.

Also that's quite the coup that the Canadiens logo is on Sami's shirt. Daddy Nick just racking up the legit sports W's.

Sami standing in awe watching his hometown lose its collective shit for him was a hell of a moment.

Considering how universally loved Schiavone seems to be, this clearly seems like TK busting balls.

Funny how the actual chamber matches on paper look like the weakest ones on the card. The mixed tag is gonna rule just for the Beth/Rhea parts, Brock and Bob are gonna probably have another fun BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT match, and of course Sami. I suppose the women's chamber match actually has some intrigue too since it seems Asuka might finally snap and murder everyone.
