Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Do they need Show to be a challenger for Reigns in April or something? Because that physically hurt me. Quote
C.S. Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Do they need Show to be a challenger for Reigns in April or something? Because that physically hurt me. That's the rumor, isn't it? Quote
Minds_Eys Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Lots of nasty looking bumps to the outside. Quote
WingedEagle Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 How do you run the Mizdow split just to job him out to Big Show? In a *meaningless* match no less? Ugh. Almost makes you wish Show had acromegaly. Quote
cubbymark Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 They almost teased the Royal Rumble 2004 finish, and I was sad Mizdow lost. Quote
Strummer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 off to a flying start booking wise. Vince McMahon has lost his ever loving mind. Reigns is going over clean with no turn and then feuding with Show. I want to puke Quote
Bierschwale Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah, that was awful. I know that they must have thought that the Mizdow turn would be enough, but that was just lame. Also, JBL said that Show hadn't won WW3, which is false, he won it in '96. Quote
Strummer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Hunter and Steph must do a coup d'etat on this company. Vince has to go Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I actually think they were going for a 20-year long view "WWE History" thing there rather than short-term plans. 1. Big Show's career highlight reel with the trophy. 2. To get the concept of the Andre Battle Royal over. 3. So that in 20 or 30 years time kids will look back in the record books and see that Big Show won it. I get what they were going for and why they did it. Quote
Exposer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Tag Title Match - It was a really fun spotfest. Good start to the show. Andre Battle Royal - Mizdow was great. Big Show wins. This might be a long night. Quote
van_Fair Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Great so I ended up watching the show anyway because I can't sleep and what is the first thing I see. Big Show winning. .... Ugh Up Next Bryan gets knocked out of the ladder match and is replaced by Sheamus. Edited March 29, 2015 by van_Fair Quote
Strummer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 calling it now. Sheamus returns during the ladder match to screw over Bryan. It's inevitable. Quote
Fantastic Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Ladder match officially opening the show. D-Bry holds the distinction of being the only man in history to open and close a Wrestlemania and then open a Mania the following year. Outside of that pointless trivia, talk about a decline. Going from main eventing to opening in the space of a year? It's happened a few times before though. Quote
Steenalized Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I'm with Parv on this. I am sick of Big Show, like everyone else, but that match revolved around getting over the idea of the Big Show as a giant who should be winning a battle royal, like Andre. Quote
Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 At the least they should have had Miz cost him it, even if he did so a minute or two before it really ended if you didn't want it to play into the finish if they really felt like they needed Show to look good. Quote

JerryvonKramer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Great package on the IC belt. EDIT: And nice to bring out Patterson, a LEGEND in the Bay Area. Quote

I am sick of Big Show, like everyone else, but that match revolved around getting over the idea of the Big Show as a giant who should be winning a battle royal, like Andre. It also says a lot about people fucking up Big Shows booking that this was the first Battle Royal he won in his 20 year career. Quote
funkdoc Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 i'm not all that mad at that result tbh nobody in this battle royal felt as hot as cesaro did last year. ryback was the closest thing but eh. he feels like the sort of guy you could heat up whenever. mizdow is not going to have much of a shelf life so i think they used him just fine there. Quote
goodhelmet Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 I don't mind Big Show getting the lifetime achievement award but the crowd was hot for Mizdow. I guess we can settle for him throwing out Miz. Once Mark Henry was out, I didn't care anymore. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Show winning makes sense, except he's not over and the crowd was ripe for 2 other guys who need it more. That said both pre-show matches were good Quote
Strummer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 BIG TIME Spoiler from Meltz. Warned. For what it's worth, rumors in the press box are that The Rock will shoot an angle with HHH after HHH beats Sting, and not in the main event. Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Aloe Blacc sounds like the name of a skin moisturizer. Quote
BBscout Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Agreed, figure the Show win is for a new giant to beat him next year. Harper or somebody. Quote
