EricR Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 So, Terry Funk showed up and was awesome, and I really really liked that Big E/Rusev match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 The opening segment just reeked of typical WWE almost-self awareness though. They knew HHH would get cheered in Philly so their master plan to get Roman cheered this week was to have him be the one babyface who doesn't allow Steph to emasculate them. WM is still a mess. There's no need for two multi person matches, Steen-Zayn would have been a stellar match using their NXT history as a build, but goddamn we have to have a multi person ladder match every year now. Props to Zack for getting a spot on the card, but he's the most obvious replacement guy on a WWE PPV since Bobby Heenan filled in at Survivor Series after Tully got fired. Also very interesting to see Taker-Shane get hyped as the main event during the show, but the local cable company commercial for the PPV was all about the title match. Wonder if that means Vince is losing faith finally in Roman, or just wants his program to get the top billing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's a match about control of the company. One thinks it gets priority over any other match even one that decides who gets to wear a piece of tin around their waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 As much as I and everyone else here loves New Day, their segment was just brutally bad. It may have just went too long, but babyface New Day isn't off to a good start. The match was fine, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I did love how when they ran off a list of names Sheamus's parents could have used, they mentioned Stephen which I'm pretty sure is his real first name. But yes, it's hard to kick off a babyface run when your first opponents are the worst heel faction in WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 The LON is not only terrible and boring, but they are not over at all. LON vs. New Day has been fine once the bell rings as all of the guys can go, but the fucking build has me tapping out. These 7 men could really surprise everyone and steal the show at Mania if allowed to, but yeah...fuck this build! The Death March to Mania continues!

Alucard Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I don't think face New Day is going to be nearly as good, judging by that Raw segment and last week's Smackdown. Their act is far better as annoying heels rather than corny babyfaces imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 That's what happens when you wildly cheer for entertaining heels but people refuse to learn the lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJayTabb Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 The key problem with face New Day is that Woods is wildly irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Bryan had already been pulled from this weekend's house shows but now has also been pulled from all weekend Mania Axxess events.. The word is he simply asked for the time off but man things seem to be getting interesting now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I keep reading how "interesting" it is and I have no idea what that even means. Are people forgetting that the man has a brain lesion? He's not trying to go wrestle somewhere else. More than likely he finds it depressing to be around wrestling and not be able to wrestle and would rather just stay away from it for now or possibly forever. He might just want to move on entirely.

Slasher Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Double turn only works if Shane wins his match otherwise people are not gonna play along with celebrating with the Authority at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
