C.S.

I'm exhausted. I don't have it in me for this match, as fun as it will probably be.

THANK GOD!

After this is all said and done, I just want a montage of all the times they cried during the match.

Remember when we all thought this should be the main event of Night 1?

Even Mauro couldn't save this. Taller and "handsomer."

Only 30 seconds.

Feels like a bad video game.

Otis vs. Ziggler was FUN. I'll take this over inconsequential throwaways like Lashley vs. Black any day, or even "good rasslin' matches" like Charlotte vs. Rhea where the outcome was never, ever in doubt, not even for a split second.

That's my main problem with it, other than not personally caring about either of these guys. It's such an inconsequential throwaway match. It doesn't matter, there's no point to it, and the outcome won't affect either man or the WWE as a whole.

Unpopular opinion: Black vs. Lashley is tonight's Corbin vs. Elias. I will never care about this match or either of the wrestlers in it, no matter how many "hoss stud brawls" Lashley had in TNA or whatever the hell Tommy End did on the indies. I. DO. NOT. CARE.

People? It's only me in this thread saying that, lol. But the result was a foregone conclusion IMO, which also hurt the match. There was zero doubt in my mind that Rhea was losing and Charlotte was winning. Charlotte winning at Mania is the default setting.

As long as you're not interested in Cattie and Liv, we're still on the opening match, so you have time to catch up. IMO, and this will be sacrilege 'round these parts, just join the match live in progress. The lack of a crowd has really hurt my ability to get into it. That hasn't been the case across the board, but it is for this match, for whatever reason.

Yeah, this is one match that's really hurt by the lack of a crowd.

Don't know about now, but I think it's obvious that she has had work done. Her look when she first joined NXT compared to now is dramatically different, and I don't think that's down to age. BTW, don't worry - PWO would only have a conniption if you suggest that basketball shorts don't flatter Kassius Ohno.

Maybe he worked himself into a shoot, jabroni mark, brother.

Why build up a Liv-Ruby feud, only for Cattie to get the match instead? Cattie deserves a spot on the show, but this is a strange pairing.

Loved this entire post. Gonna comment on the end part... I think your "worries" are valid: Drew-Brock will likely be the main event, and there's no way I see the Firefly Fun House match coming anywhere near the Boneyard Match, for one simple reason: Boneyard had two one-of-a-kind world class talents in The Undertaker and AJ Styles, whereas Fun House has...Bray Wyatt.

Poor Joey Janela

I want this to end with Taker and McCool kissing over the buried AJ.

35 minutes left for Braun vs. Goldberg? Yikes!

I liked the KO-Seth match more than most, despite having zero expectations (or maybe because of that).

Fun finish.

Random thought of the night: I miss Jinder Mahal.

Match of the night.
