they completely fucked it up and I don't think it matters any more - I know I'm not invested in this triple threat anymore and the pay off of Lynch winning a convoluted match in front of an exhausted crowd is going to be underwhelming. None of the booking makes sense and every competitor looks fucking stupid.

really the only match I'm excited for is Big Dave and Papa Haitch

all the other builds to Mania have been garbage

 

with spandex's best and worst put it best:

Since then we got Lynch vs. Asuka being announced for a pay-per-view only for them to rescind the announcement only to build to the match anyway, and then have Lynch pull double-duty and win the women’s Royal Rumble. That guaranteed her a spot at WrestleMania against one of the Women’s Champions. You stumbled a bit, but you were there. Then the Internet shootin’ went off the rails, four general manager characters got involved, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H both started feuds with Lynch only to apologize to her to set up VINCE McMahon suspending her. Charlotte Flair got put into the match instead, and everyone was like, “okay, Becky will start some shit and it’ll be a triple threat.” And then Becky kept starting shit, and we were like, “you stumbled a bit, but we’re still there.” AND THEN they have Rousey appear to vacate the Raw Women’s Championship when Stephanie refuses to reverse the suspension she didn’t make, have Stephanie announce that this was the case, un-suspend Becky somehow and sign Becky vs. Charlotte for the Raw Women’s Championship at Fastlane. Two Smackdown women’s wrestlers competing for the Raw Women’s Championship. But then Ronda Rousey shows up again and says she actually DIDN’T vacate the championship, which causes Stephanie to just nonchalantly give her her title back and add some “if Becky wins at Fastlane she’s IN” bullshit that doubles back and cancels out BECKY LYNCH GETTING A GUARANTEED TITLE SHOT AT WRESTLEMANIA FOR WINNING THE ROYAL RUMBLE. The suspension was the only thing keeping her from that. By lifting it, don’t you go back to that? Did the suspension cancel out her win?

Rousey then randomly “turns heel” by yelling at the audience in the exact same speed-talk she’s been yelling at everyone in for months, and beats the ever-loving crap out of Becky Lynch. The drama now is that Becky has to overcome injuries to defeat Charlotte to get back into a match that she already earned the right to have by overcoming injuries and defeating Charlotte. And instead of just saying, Becky’s back so she’s in, Charlotte’s been added so she’s in, it’s a triple threat, we have to have qualifying matches for the sake of contradicting general manager figures with no clearly established power hierarchy to set up the thing we already set up in goddamn November.

 

The build is garbage, my thoughts on rousey are pretty well known and I'm sick of seeing charlotte in a main event for the women's title. All of that said, I'll mark the fuck out when Becky stands tall over both of them with the belt.

 

KO v D-Bry promos forever please

 

where's the sami save

 

Save it for Fastlane. Or the build to WM if they still go KO/D-Bry.

 

Hi, I'd like one Joe vs Cena match at Mania, please

 

LETS GO ANDRADE

 

JOE

 

Well.. that is fine too I suppose

JOEEEEE

 

they finally gave Joe a damn title!

 

“His first title in wwe”

lol wtf

 

JOEY GOT A BELT

 

Im a little sad that R-Truth didnt keep having these matches turn into 5/6/7 man matches. Would have been a perfect set-up for the US title ladder match at WM.

 

Also, how are SD + RAW the same company? RAW was abysmal as usual last night...SD has had 3 great stories moving in the first hour

 

we're really so spoiled getting two black and ricochet matches a week

 

The promo work on this show has been A+. Uso's white guy voice was great, Joe's championship promo...

 

did claudio castignoli vs tommy end ever happen? Because that shit sounds like my jam


EDIT: It kinda did, in a 4 way

 

Apparently, yes...

Tommy End - Antihero (Best Of) | wXwNOW

EDIT: 2 singles matches, actually.

How is that a kickoff match? Cmon
