Well, you just made the guy you'd built up as the Austrian Oak for three years tap out within 3 seconds of a freaking sleeper being applied. Well done.

Yeet!

The Case Against WrestleMania - VGBees

WrestleMania is this weekend. It is staggering to think of the event’s place in global popular culture now, 40 years after the first WrestleMania effectively...

lmao this Gable Grande schtick has been awesome and dare I say a better riff on Toni Storm.

Poor Bayley

Dana White being booed and visibly getting upset. A truly heartwarming moment.

 

[Spikey]

hard to consider yesterday/today anything but a sad for wrestling. AAA has been a terrible promotion for the last decade, but WWE buying it will almost certainly be nothing but harmful for wrestling

Decided to check out WM after watching Super Eyepath Wolf's brilliant recent video essay on the careers of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes (definitely check it out if you haven't seen it, and don't let the 2 hr 40m run time intimidate you, it's awesome).

Eh, it was alright I guess.

His videos are awesome but I'll admit I was put off watching this one due to the runtime.

Same here

TBH the only way 2 nights of WM makes sense is if they do the Brand Extension thing properly and basically treat RAW and SD as seperate brands and each having one night of WM and maybe the other big 4 PPVs (or PLEs today, I guess).

 

[sledger]

I disagree actually. I'm not a huge fan of the two night format generally, but if they're going to do it at all it should definitely be mixed brand on both nights imo. Otherwise there's a significant chance of dilution of quality.

Not if they actually do a properly good brand split though?

 

[GIMH]

That main event though. Wonderful

Haha well exactly.

It should be by what's most popular. There's 4 singles championships and feasibly tag titles that could be competing for a main event and that's not counting the feuds that dont need a belt

 

[honestbharani]

I honestly wont mind them doing Summerslam, WrestleMania, Survivor Series and maybe one more PLE as 2 day events for each brand and then remaining 8 events being split as 4 for RAW and 4 for SD.

The 2002 method basically.

 

[sledger]

He's only gone and done it.

 

[Johan]

bro is the Rock sleeping or what

 

[Spikey]

Cody refused the Rock's (really life) request to turn heel so the Rock tanked the main event and didn't even show up.

A rare win for the rock
