26th March - 1st April WWE

[FMKK]

WWE.com reporting that Shane McMahon has been hospitalised with diverticulitis, though there's a chance it could be a work.

[topropepodcast]

That seems like a really weird and unlikely work, unless it's designed to be a rib at Lesnar, which would also make no sense.

[FMKK]

They've tied it into the angle in their reporting but I guess that's only natural

[Cap]

While I don't want him to be hurt, the idea of a Bryan match against Sami and/or KO (or anyone really) that doesn't involve Shane is way more appealing to me.

[KawadaSmile]

Let Bryan beat the shit out of both of them.

[Flyin' Brian]

I'm interested to see where the Lesnar/Reigns feud goes tonight. They have pulled out all the stops to get the crowd to cheer Roman and boo Brock, from Rock/Cena 'I'm always here and you're not' type promos and Wrestlemania 20 'is Brock leaving' intrigue, they've done everything but make Brock into an Iraqi sympathizer to get Roman over, but how will that crowd in New Orleans react when the time comes?

[KawadaSmile]

Well, they did manage to get Roman over as a face and Lesnar over as a heel. Crazy how some weeks of very good writing and letting Roman cut promos that play to his strengths do.

 

Like, you don't even need to do much this week, as long as you have a crazy-ass brawl in the go-home RAW.

[hammerva]

Well this is an intriguing development

[C.S.]

Well this is an intriguing development

Is that account owned by Zayn? The official Sami Zayn account is still there.

 

Meanwhile, KO changed his account from @FightOwensFight to @FightSteenFight. There is another @FightOwensFight account now that I hope is his.

 

The difference is, the Steen account is the old Owens account, whereas this El Generico account is different from the Sami Zayn account.

[hammerva]

Well the last tweet before this was from 2013. So it is a fake account not tied to Zayn then someone was just informed about the product after a 5 year drought

[FMKK]

Roman bumped like a champ for that beating but I dont know if I agree with Brock killing him two weeks running. The match at Mania will be a banger though

I'm not American so correct me if I'm wrong but there's the tradition of Dallas crowds being less smark - or in other words, better crowds.

 

Roman still represents establishment to those people, he will have a mixed reaction forever unless they do something drastic.

 

And turning heel Roman is a move years in the making, specially since they never did that with Cena. It's been too long without a proper turn in WWE.

As long as Roman murders Brock next week, it should be okay.

I think turning Roman heel wouldn't change things much. He is still over as a face with a large portion of the crowd, just like large portions like to boo him.

 

I'd say Ambrose would make a better heel, specially because the story is pretty much there.

[FMKK]

Oh my god that Stephanie and HHH training video was incredible

[sek69]

Was that Sarah Stock playing the role of female Adam Pierce breaking up the Sasha-Bayley fight?

[Childs]

Why would you want Roman to get the upper hand on Brock in the build? In theory, you want him to be as invincible as possible when he goes down. Not that it matters hugely with such established characters. The intensity has been there on both sides, and thats what counts.

[hammerva]

Yep definitely Sarah Stock/Sarita in the back

 

It has also been brought up on Twitter that the trophy for the women's battle royal looks like ovaries. So they can't get anything right on that one

 

I can't concentrate on this Rousey promo because all I am thinking who the fuck thought that eye makeup was a good idea. And if you were wondering when Sonya Deville's push was over that was it.

[WingedEagle]

Loved the opening Brock/Roman angle. Both looked tremendous throwing all those shots, and Brock looks dominant as hell at the end. Especially standing on the steps as Roman is down and out. Big fan of that that visual. Its unrealistic and unfair to expect that they can approach the Mania 31 match, but I'm stoked as hell to see them try.

[sek69]

Looks like Kurt doesnt clean the mats wherever hes training Ronda at and she just got through a bout of pink eye.

[joeg]

UFC did a much better job or promoting Rousey.

[hammerva]

I just don't understand who is the idiot that is telling her to work on suplexes and throws because almost all of them look dangerous.

[KawadaSmile]

Gotta love how the commentary team is almost giving out that Elias is Braun's partner.

[sek69]

Wow, really gonna wait for the go home show to do whatever they do with Taker? You would have thought one of the few legit dream matches WWE has left would have more behind it than Cena having a tantrum.

[Kadaveri]

Sasha Banks insisting on doing her own make-up is the smartest career move. What the hell did they do to Ronda's eyes.

[El-P]

The make-up department of WWE is absolutely god-awful, it has to be said again and again, they are doing a terrible job. I'm sure all those women look a hundred times better IRL.
