Yall know I don’t watch wrestling like I used to. Would consider myself more of a casual than a mark, like you guys.

Watching this WM as a casual, it 100000% delivered. Suspend disbelief, boo the heels, cheers the baby faces. Mark out at Cena and Taker. They ****ing delivered this weekend man, unbelieveable

The shield breaking up still stuck with Roman reigns obviously. And it’ll be 10 years in June that the break up happened. So it was a nice way to call back to that. And just hearing that shield theme music and. Rows entrance is a chefs kiss in itself.

Thank you Roman reigns. Enjoy your vacation.

Rock channeling Elvis again. This time w/ the ‘fit.

He would be a valuable asset to the roster

Still a big star but TK just didn't book him right

Just like Lexis King

You almost had me thinking you were being serious. Until that last line.

 

[tupac003]

Night 1 wasn't great. Night 2 was.

A very good but not great Maina IMO.

If Night 2 was the only representation of Maina...then it would have been a great Maina.

Will be interesting to see where they go.

Who does Cody feud with now?

How long is Roman gone for?

CM vs Drew is set (if Drew comes back)

Who does Priest feed with?

What's next for GOONTA?

Lots of questions.

 

[MVP]

39 > 40. But Roman v Cody II up there with one of the best main events/matches of all time.

 

[jshortt]

So which match was better:

Rhea/Bucket
Iyo/Bayley




or Willow/Riho?

Honestly, hard for me to call because I missed the first 5 or so minutes of Becky/Rhea. With that said, I enjoyed Bayley/Iyo more. A couple of Iyo's counters were incredible. Solid payoff to that story, and Bayley got the belt back.

Night 2 was great, night one was Garbage

When the shield music hit I thought Mox was coming out

As much as I love the undertaker, I thought Austin was going to come out, either way great start to this new era. I feel like a kid again, wrestling is great again.

Didn’t love Taker being a part of it, but the pop was nuts, and he did have ties to Roman/Heyman.

 

[MVP]

Stone Cold would have been the ideal one to come thru but it worked

 

[rwfanatic]

Outside of wanting to hear his theme song, what reason would he have to be there?

 

[dman14]

Crowd was hyped all night. Started out hot and it the crowd remained engaged. Credit to the performers for keeping the crowd interested. Even the the street fight was popping the crowd

 

[dman14]

Outside of wanting to hear his theme song, what reason would he have to be there?

Kayfabe he is Rock's rival and anti authority. Could also tie in a Dusty connection from back in the days.
Real life for the pay day. Wonder what talks they had, if any.

 

[MVP]

Rock selling the stunner one more time would alone have been worth it but obviously having the 3 biggest stars in the history of the company Cena, Rock and Austin would have been even better. Rock and Austin was the biggest rivalry in the sport.

Now that you mentioned it, it makes sense for Taker. Not mad bout that. But SAS would of been lit tho

 

[dman14]

Seem like a series finale and they are moving on from these storylines. Roman goes away for awhile. Wonder what Heyman would be doing. Maybe, managing Bron Breaker?
