Strummer Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Ha I guess I consider the funhouse stuff separate. I don't think there was one backstage vignette with wwe dialogue on the show Quote
C.S. Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Awesome set. Awesome presentation. Same old boring shit in the ring. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 11 minutes ago, ...TG said: YES. Vince bringing in WWE Hall of Famer Antonio Inoki as commissioner. Naoya Ogawa and his son show up. Inoki parachutes into ring to open WrestleMania. BOOK IT COWARDS Does Vince have Sapp's number? 14 minutes ago, Matt D said: You can't go to this well often, but on this night, I appreciated this. It was fine, really. Kofi will always have his title victory at WM, and the build to it. No one can take that away from him, and it was historical. He had a bad gameplan and suffered dearly. Quote
FMKK Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 People are getting very sad and/or pissed online about Kofi. I think they probably should've given the guy a hope spot or two but he's been wrestling cold title matches to crickets for six months like. His time as a main eventer is over. Quote
sek69 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 They build up Kofi's win as the culmination of a career and a major event, he didn't usher in the next boom period but he deserved a better end than getting goobered like that. Quote
Strummer Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Could we have all three Wrestlemania title winners lose their titles in a two day span? Think there is a good chance Quote

NintendoLogic Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Kofi got exactly what he deserved. The past six months have established beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's not world champion material. Brock having a competitive match with him would have devalued the title. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Also, Kofi still was booked better than Roman. Y'all are too soft. Quote
Boss Rock Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 For a Fox debut, they needed to have Junior Dos Santos come in and KO Cain. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Gimme Ken Shamrock vs Lesnar, dammit McGregor, too! Quote
C.S. Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 This popped up randomly on my Twitter (no joke). I'm not following him and don't know who he is, but I guess because other people I follow are following him, it appeared on my timeline. Agreed 100%, of course. Eventually, FOX is going to want Mauro to give Smackdown even more of a sports feel. Quote
DMJ Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 The whole "Suplex City" thing started when Lesnar literally tossed Cena around for 10 minutes like a ragdoll. I'm not upset about Kofi getting destroyed, I'm pissed about Seth Rollins not getting destroyed. There are only a handful of guys that deserve to be able to last longer than 5 minutes with Brock and I don't think Kofi or Rollins should've, so, yeah, I'm happy with this result. Quote

I want to say that Danny Cage is the guy running the Monster Factory wrestling school since Larry Sharpe died but I could be wrong here. Quote

If Danny Cage’s wife believes it, that settles it! Seriously though, if you step out of the self-masturbatory (at times) PWO GWE bubble, you’ll find that there are a lot more Mamma Mia-niacs than not. 7 minutes ago, SirEdger said: I want to say that Danny Cage is the guy running the Monster Factory wrestling school since Larry Sharpe died but I could be wrong here. His Twitter profile mentions that, so you’re right. Quote
Dale Wolfe Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Cain beat the shit out of Lesnar when they fought in UFC. I do wonder how they'll end up referencing that as doesn't really play into the type of image they've gave Brock over the years. Quote
Strummer Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Kofi has been the number one trend on twitter for several hours now. Lots of people pissed. Sort of a Bryan vibe from 2013/2014 here. Not saying it will be a big deal but you never know Quote
Dale Wolfe Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 While it doesn't suit the narrative really, wwe certainly have the better mma fighter run-in segment by a country mile Wonder if they will bring Cormier in after he fights Miocic again Quote
Stiva Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Popped huge for Tyson Fury, he's been one of the best stories in heavyweight boxing for years and years and has charisma and the gab to spare. He'd be genuinely fantastic in a celebrity Mania build. Kofi getting squashed was pretty ridiculous, he should have probably got SOME offense in and if like me, you don't watch UFC, the ending was Brock Lesnar getting run off by a dud with a dad bod and a leg brace. We talk about Raw dragging but this thing moved almost too quickly at times; I think it worked as a hype job for the PPV (what few matches are announced anyway) but a lot of guys were barely featured at all. Like, Orton and Styles hit one move in their time on screen and then they were gone. Still, the commentary was 100x better, I liked that we were spared bad backstage vignettes and I'm pretty confident that Rollins isn't coming out of the cell as the champion so, we can be positive.

Strummer Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 on WOR Dave says the current plan is Brock v Cain at the Saudi Money Show Quote
El-P Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Strummer said: on WOR Dave says the current plan is Brock v Cain at the Saudi Money Show They know were their bread is buttered. With Lesnar vs Cain on top, they really should rename the show Bloodsport, would be fitting. Quote
BruiserBrody Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Meltz also said the live crowd chanted "AEW" after the main event. I would have had Cain do the run in and ruin the main event. I would think Cain as a challenger will alert more people to the fact that he won't win compared to simply a fight between the two gorillas. Quote
