Jesus christ, the way Raw was screwed in this, i'm surprised the shows didn't air on some porn site... but, seriously, this week has made my decision to go watch SDL next month SO much easier, and I am so hyped for this now.

I'm actually considering to go and watch SD in May when they come here, and BOY, last night really tipped the swing towards going. Ziggler, Roode, Jinderall not being there (probably) and I get Miz for them? raw got screwed, royally!

TBH, I didn't buy into the huge debut or comeback storyline at any time. My initial thought was "eh, it's gonna be some schmock, Ellsworth level". Some no name, random guy from the back or some jobber, but not someone to get hyped about. After all, pretty much everyone you could've coupled with Braun would have been second fiddle, so it was the logical solution. I mean, i didn't guess it would be a child, but yeah, there were quasi no expectation towards the partner here.

I'll just leave this here, it sums up the craziness that was WM 34 pretty good, I think.

I'd guess she goes back to SDL and monday was her final rub to Nia. Plus, I didn't think it so bad, because of all the abusement she had taken on Sunday, she was still banged up from that and thus vulnerable.

I don't know about the smark factor in Saudi Arabia, but could one reason to, possibly, have the title change over there that there's a possibility that the fans won't shit all over the match?

That TNA line by Angle was the highlight of the show, imo. I like Ember, so I'm cool with her call-up. I despise NWJever since first seeing him, his whole schtick s just awful to me, so... Screw him. AoP much deserved their call-up, and I hope they get treated right. And yes, Lashley is back. Couldn't care less, to be honest. I'll give him a chance, but he was never of any interest to me. Final thought, is Roman's new gimmick that HE thinks teher's a political hit on him? If so, did they steal that idea from here?

I'm really pumped for this. I'm even staying awake extra for this, which practically never happens. Gargano/Ciampa should be insanely amazing. The ladder match should be a really fun car crash. I've been a fan of Black when he still was Tommy End, so I'm dying to (hopefully) win the title.

Wait, the twin was fake?

I wanna second the music. I HATE the fact that he's just adopted the Shield entrance, it makes me angry as soon as it starts by this point, so I'm immediately in a bad mood as soon as I know he comes out.

I would've missed Heyman five years ago, but he's become dull, repetitive, and a shell of his former self. I think Heyman still can go, but he needs another role, asap. How many times can you go out and hype the same match? Find him something other to do (manage someone other, this time with the full focus on them, and not 80% lesnar and 20% the other (Cesaro, Axel)) and he can create something great again. I really think it's the Lesnar stuff has dragged him down so much.

Can you imagine WWE not running that Cena vs. Taker match and just doing the ultimate trolljob?

I'm still not sold on the match actually happening. From all I've heard, Shane's condition isn't something you can simply shrug off. I think they're doing the switch at Mania, although who's gonna be the substitute, I have no idea.

Between Ciampa vs. Gargano, the ladder match and Almas vs. Black, Takeover once again shapes up to be phenomenal.

I finished 1993 ECW. Still very much a territory, with all the talent known from elsewhere and the constant highlight packages and the ever present shilling for the big shows, but it's slowly finding it's groove. And the development of the fans is very interesting, from a handful of guys (and kids) in the first shows to the screams of We Want Blood in the end of the year.

Oh god no! Dumbest idea ever.

Biggest? Yes. Greatest? I highly doubt it.

I'm just glad it's only one SDL 'til Fastlane, if this goes on, we would have a 15-man challenge for the title.

i got something in my eye when Candice sat down next to Johnny after the match, it was such a great callback to the DIY moments. yeah, there was definitely something in my eye there.

Recently started watching ECW from the start, which I haven't been able to as i thappened because it didn't air here. Just watched Hardcore TV 23, right before UltraClash 93. Which brings me to my question, is there a way to watch these ECW Supercards online? The Network doesn't have them, and I'd really like to watch, the hype train has me all aboard from the weekly TV.

I thought the trailer looked amazing and am really looking forward to this.

Yup, that's it, Vince has lost it. Take WWE from him and send him into a retirement home, where he can spend he rest of his days.

Some things were very, very weird (MVP just randomly being there backstage, and especially Taker), some things were sad because of missed opportunities (Having the female legends all by htemselves without any interaction (except that Bailey bit which doesn't count)) and some were good (Elias vs. Cena II, the opening segment). The one thing that really, really stood out to me was how very much CM Punk is missed. I know he's not coming back and all, but he was the only audible pop during all of these stills, and I would guess probably one of the biggest pops all night, had we heard it without the music over it. Also, did Nash tear his quads in backstage or why wasn' he there?

Am I the only one thinking Jericho being there next week is huge? he's basically making appearances for the two biggest promotions in the world at the same time, seeing how he is still working with NJPW.

Random thought, but I liked the hot tag in the Bar vs. Worldwide match. It's simpl ething like not seeing both man slowy crawling to their respective corners that stand out in WWE. Also, JJ is really good as delusional, in way over his head guy. Real fun to watch. I hope Joe's injury isn't too bad, it would be such a shame not seeing him at Mania, he's definitely more than earned his spot.
