Triple H can't take over the WWE soon enough.

Yea heard they had over 5,000 in attendance, Balor and Neville sounds like it was off the charts

Pretty sure it was recorded...

Itami finally busted out the GTS too, the pop was ridiculously loud.

Regins heel turn incoming. Guessing that Heyman goes with him too.

I just want to see Bray beat Taker. He's had to carry the entire thing, and then to saddle him with a loss would be super shitty.

Sting/ HHH will be awful I'm sure. Taker and Wyatt won't be much better. (From a wrestling standpoint I mean)

There weren't any hard cams there. There were some handheld cameras, but it seems unlikely they can pull an episode out of that footage.

It's a shame, because the buzz on the Sasha Banks vs Charlotte match is that it rivals the Natalya vs Charlotte match from last year.

If Reigns wins they'll just say he's too hurt to show up on Raw because of Lesnar. Easy angle to avoid the negative backlash.
[Reply]

Reigns won't win. They just resigned Brock. Only way Brock was to lose that title smartly is to have him be the ultimate obstacle. A very very rare event of him losing. He faces many different types of competitors to overcome their odds until finally someone is ready for that push to become the next big WWE Face.

Anyone watch the HOF speeches last night? Anything worth watching?

I agree, but I can also see both of those being in the vein of Rock-Hogan from WM 18 where the crowd is super into both of them. Guess we'll find out.

If Reigns wins, I don't think there's much they can do to avoid negative backlash, short of playing into it & turning him heel. Tomorrow's Raw will be the smarky-est crowd of the year and he didn't get a good reaction earlier this week with the belt. Lesnar has to win or Rollins has to cash in. If the show ends with REIGNSWINSLOL and they try to keep him as a face, it could ruin the guy's career.

As an aside, I can't be the only one who's really not that excited for Mania tonight. I thought as it got closer, I'd get more into it, but that hasn't happened. I'll still watch the show and will probably watch tomorrow, but if this show bombs, I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep the network. Lesnar re-signing ups my interest a bit, but I'm still not convinced that Reigns won't begin a Cena-esque reign of terror (no pun intended) tonight.

Going back to after last Wrestlemania you actually had a decent storyline set up for this. You have Cesaro with Heyman. You keep Cesaro dominate and let him bring in more of his indy offense (UFO and Ricola Bomb) . Through out this Heyman keeps hyping Brock but doesn't say much about Cesaro. This continues for a couple months as Cesaro's annoyance at his hype man not hyping him builds.

In a Number 1 contenders match Paul interferes costing Cesaro the match. Cesaro finally has had enough and Heyman gets a giant swing for his trouble. This turns Cesaro all the way face. Build to Wrestlemania from there.

Nah, he can't get over because he's too European.

Great idea to put The Bushwackers after the Warrior award. Daniel Bryan did an awesome job with his speech.
[Reply]

With the way Heyman is kissing Reigns ass in all promos, I think he's going to flip on Brock and help Reigns win the belt.

Then Rollins cashes in.
[Reply]

There's no way I can see Bray losing to Taker. You have to start putting Bray over - I think this is the way they do it.
[Reply]

This IS Vince we're talking about. There's not a lot (short of good booking) that would surprise me at this point with this company.
