sek69 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 So I'm wondering how JBL got to Orlando for this. IIRC he still lives in Bermuda, so unless he got stuck somewhere in the US when this all first went down, it's eyebrow raising that he somehow got here.

hammerva Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 There is no way in hell that this would be the 2nd match on the show if WM was normal. The only interesting person in this match is the ref Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 You know, I never would’ve figured that there would be a way to make a Baron Corbin match even less enjoyable…but here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Say what you want about Mauro, but his high energy and genuine enthusiasm would've helped this particular show. Cole's fake excitement is grating on my nerves even more than usual. I, too, am wondering about JBL, since he lives in Bermuda. Guess he's stuck in Orlando now?

Jmare007 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Was able to skip most of it by making myself a sandwich. But I truly despise this new attitude that everyone on the fucking roster HAS to have a match at Mania, the fuck is it gained by giving us this weekly TV matchup tonight?

C.S. Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I doubt Elias would've won in a traditional Mania. Now makes me wonder if babyfaces are going over in every match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Baszler vs Lynch next. I still think this will be great. Technical matches tend to work okay without an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 If this had a crowd it would've gotten the best spot on the show. Hour 2 is the sweet spot for these damn Mania marathons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Playing catch up: Women's tag was fun. I don't think I've seen much of either team. Kairi and Bliss matched up from a size and perkiness perspective. The shine had lots of fireworks (and dives) with the heels really working for the transition. There were about three hot tags, all of which were hurt due to the lack of a crowd and not quite enough anticipation. The match probably would have been served better with one longer one with Bliss since she did well with her hope spots (though having Asuka to cut her off helped). Using both the twisted bliss and the big elbow drop as ways to break up pins was cute and effective. Finish felt really flat without a crowd. I'm not sure what else you can say but that.

cactus Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 That Lynch entrance didn't work. Just awkward. The sound of Baszler hitting Lynch with stiff kicks in front of no-one is giving me Battlarts flashbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
