I don't. Ambrose: Hey, about you trying to murder me with a cinderblock...no worries. But he's the lunatic fringe! No joke though, Ambrose is already been made to look like a moron, so at least this time it would be for a greater good.

I wonder what was the "offer I couldn0t refuse". Work 2 matches a year, 4 RAW appearances for 2 or 3 years? Indeed. I think Brock is gonna be the most over guy on Sunday, at the very least very close to Bryan. This completely fucks over Reigns during the match but it kinda saves it from being buried by the crowd.

Same as last week. Even more interested in what the fuck will they do with the main event and how the crowd will react. Honestly though, the only match I really want to watch is Rusev vs Cena. And even then I think I'm going to be sad when it ends.

I agree with tim here. But man, at the very least Reigns has to be a polarizing figure in "creative". I do think that the Heyman promo could be a nice set up for a heel turn. But will it matter?

That face off was lame as fuck. Holy shit, how do the go home with THAT? Heyman's promo sounded like he might turn on Brock. That wink was a little too much though, maybe a red herring? Eh, at least I don't have a clue how it's gonna end so that's something.

I hope this means they finally have something planned beyond a PPV match. Bryan winning the belt and then feuding with Dolph (who "has his number") actually makes sense now.

I actually thought that was a good promo. At least his rambling makes more sense considering he's facing Taker.

At this point I think they just want more people paying for the Network so they can announce a big number the day after Mania and see the stock price raise.

I really, really, reaaally hope they don't fuck Rusev up after he jobs on Sunday. He can recover from a loss but booking is so bad right now that who knows what's gonna happen to him

So Axel is the guy who is gonna get the yearly "out of nowhere" reaction at the RAW post-Mania?

Given how awful the Von Erichs special that was talked about for years was, I won't too excited even if it did happen Didn't watch it after learning it was only a short. Was it bad or just nothing that wasn't already covered in the WWE and the Heroes of World Class docs?

Shit, I'm more exited about this than Mania.

Man if this is what it takes to get a legit Andre documentary then I'm all for it.

Eh, this is kinda silly but the report I read from the show in Aneheim was that Bryan got the biggest response. But who really cares though? For years the house show atmosphere and response from fans has been very different from TV. What's kinda weird to me is how Reigns has been working the pre-intermission match in almost every house show for a while now. Cena and Bryan keep headlining shows where Roman is booked. For all the hesitation they had with D-Bry last year/late 2013, they still gave him the lead on the B shows. Not sure if this means they are trying to protect Reigns or not have enough confidence in him yet.

I really hope this isn't true.

Why is Heyman so pissed? He went from respecting and praising Reigns, telling him he was great but he had no chance against his beast to cutting angry ass promos about Brock out of nowhere

At this point I think the Cena backlash will be directed towards WWE as long as he is not winning the title or "hogging" the main event. He'll get booed out of the building on the RAW post Mania if he beats Rusev but that wont last past that night imo.

I thought that 3/1 tag was good but not close to a MOTYC.

Just like El-P I'm mostly interested in Cena vs Rusev and the fuckery that might happen during the Reign's match. The ladder march should be a very fun spotfest and Rollins vs Orton might be a sleeper if things go their way. But honestly, I'm only watching live because it's Wrestlemania, any other show that looked like this one would have me reading the results and then checking what looks good/gets praised via torrent or dailymotion. This should be a yearly poll by the way. It seems that every year there's a group of people (not necessarily in PWO) that thinks Mania doesn't feel as big as it should or something along those lines. It would be interesting to see how people on this board are expecting wrestling's biggest show every year.

The turd thing was a dark segment. Considering Bryan isn't going to be main eventing any time soon, I wonder if there's any money on WWE running an angle where D-Bry feuds with someone and ends up putting his Hair/Beard on the line and losing. The goofy "goat" look has served it's purpose imo and it would be kind of an iconic/memorable moment, specially, for kids. You could then book a final grudge match were DB ends up victorious, has a new look and can develop a new character.

Is Brock booked for the next 2 RAWs? Not that anything comes off as shocking with their current booking but not having a faceoff with Reigns since January is fucking weird considering there isn't any momentum for that match.

Indeed. Do they go full troll/pro Brock or they just watch there in silence.

When did the "serious voice" for important segments and beatdowns replaced the hyped/exited demeanor? 2010?

I think I'd rather be Bryan and hidden in the midcard IC title scene than be in Randy's position of being involved in the worst storyline in the company. I think they handled his return even worse than Bryan's although the consequences aren't really that big a deal. But they could have had a very hot return with Randy vs. The Authority but they are doing an awful drawn out "Randy pretends to be with the Authority" deal that absolutely no one is buying into. They should be pushing Bryan above Randy but they aren't exactly doing good things for Randy or Seth Rollins right now either. They just have a terrible creative team that hasn't booked anyone well over the past year except for Rusev and Brock Lesnar. They are at 1997-1998 WCW levels of completely wasting a very talented roster. Completely agree. I don't think anyone believes WWE wasn't anything but the best for Randy Orton. The fact that they've totally screwed up his return is just another sign that short term, even steven booking is killing their "creative".

It's been 3 months since he came back and they have booked him to work just as much as before - 2 matches his first night back, a casket match, a 45 minute tag team match, a couple of long RAW main events, etc. - I'm pretty sure WWE either doesn't care or isn't worried about Bryan's health.
