Yes, I think Shane is a world's better option and will make for a more interesting match than Strowman ever would. But still not sold its going down like that. If it is, Taker has clearly entered the Rasheed Wallace phase of his career.

So I firmly believe it will not be Taker vs. Shane at Mania. I really don't believe that. Maybe I'm crazy but just don't see that as the end game. On the other hand, I like Shane in a cell a lot more than Strowman or any similar ideas. The roster is barren of credible opponents. Might as well make a spectacle of it.

Don't buy it for a second. Cena will be slotted in there within a week or 2 if not by the end of the night.

Can't wait for the Warren Commission report on this one.

I thought Jericho looked pretty bad last night and brought the match down a ton, though AJ looked very uncomfortable as well. But I don't understand for a second how we know what match anyone wanted to have last night, much less whether they had the leeway to go in their own direction. Unless I'm missing something I don't see how we can come to any conclusions about that kind of intent.

So after Fastlane it looks like we may actually get Brock-Ambrose to go with Hunter-Reigns, and I'm guessing Cena-Taker will follow. Just like that I am stoked about the card. Amazing what SuperCena and the absence of Wyatt can do for a show.

Going to bed now, but Vince in the opening minutes of the E&C show was a riot.

Makes more sense. That was also spectacular. Didn't think tonight would approach that but it absolutely did. Brock for President!

4.5 here, but one I'll definitely want to rewatch for MOTY purposes later this year. Brock's performance and the layout were incredible, and the booking (particularly absence of Wyatts) may very well push it higher.

What was the second one?

Wow. That was sudden. Brock-Ambrose at Mania? Is the magic show somehow off?

IT LIVES!

Indeed. Really well put together.

Just give me at least 15 minutes of this before the Wyatt magic show. Do what you want after that point but let me have my Lesnar.

Watching Brock is a real treat. Unlike anything else out there. So violent. Even if he can't count.

You don't watch RAW. He's not wrong though.

So the VJM award. This for comedic purposes or a Cena return and bring out Taker?

Do we know how many tickets are sold for Mania?

Since Del Rio/Kalisto and the ladies' tag this has been terrible.

If Jericho wants to be a rock star he can go emulate Scott Weiland. Please go away.

If Ross were still on commentary he'd find a way to drop a bowling shoe reference here. Jericho looks really awful.

Really haven't loved anything from Owens since the Cena feud. Hopefully a Zayn feud will reignite him.

Started going back to some early TNA AJ and it is a whole lot better than I recalled. Lock for my list.

That might've been the best Sasha & Becky have looked since being called up. Legitimately enjoyed it. Naomi will be able to take all my monies, one dollar at a time, if she is ever so inclined. This show is off to a really nice start with these first 2 matches.

Man I loved the opener. The chairshot DQ, the quick second fall capitalizing on it, the Ultimo Guerrero tribute. Mauro on fire. That was a ton of fun.
