First topic message reminder :

So far on the pre-show, Tony Nese wins the CW title and Carmella wins the Battle Royal which means Im officially 0-2 in predictions.

Revival currently battling Hawkins & Ryder. Been decent enough so far. Hawkins looks ridiculous.

Na na na nananana na na naa.. Gallo Galloway, Galloway, Gallo GALLOWAAAAY

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:06 am

Seesh that was quite underwhelming for Reigns ...crowd basically mute for him. That's surprised me

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:08 am

They're probably still knackered from the Kofi/Bryan match, especially as Joe vs Rey didnt give them enough time to recuperate.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:10 am

And we still got Angle vs Corbin to come....forgot just how long Mania is becoming

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:12 am

Angle vs Corbin, Lashley vs Balor, HHH vs Batista and the triple threat. Cant see Angle vs Corbin going anymore than 5 minutes but I think it'll be a long segment, with a few other surpise appearances.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:18 am

Yawn..........

Yes yes I know he beat Leukemia and the whole Joe the person I'm all for....but I hate Roman Reigns the performer. Just plain dull

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:19 am

Reigns with the spear for the pinfall. Pretty standard big hoss battle with a predictable ending. Did what it needed to, especially if Reigns still isnt 100% match fit.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:26 am

Just waiting for the Gong.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:26 am

Elias......I want to walk with Elias!

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:28 am

OH Poopie ITS THE DOCTOR OF THUGANOMICS

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:29 am

Just need the American Bad Ass to turn up now and we've gone full 2003.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:35 am

Booooo screw you Cena....how dare you crash the Elias concert!!

Haha I enjoyed that....throwback but we all know that's wasted when he turns up all goofy and smiley in couple.of months and Elias doesn't one up him back at any point lol.

No doubting Cena is golden on the Mic though!!!!

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:37 am

Wee bit of fun, cant complain.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:38 am

Cant see HHH losing here, he likes his Saudi pay-days too much. But if he does win, is it a case of one and done for Batista?

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:38 am

Well what's the betting Shawn Michaels gets involved ....

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:40 am

Hahahahahahahaahaaha!!!

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:42 am

Oh Dave....

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:45 am

Digging the Mad Max vibe but I think Trips is missing a trick by STILL not coming out looking like Kratos.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:51 am

OHYA theres no way getting whipped with that chain doesnt hurt like a Frak.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 3:55 am

That was so fake but it was so awesome at the same time Laugh

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:14 am

Ric Flair hands HHH a sledgehammer, who smashes Batista with it before hitting him with a pedigree for the pinfall victory.

2 guys with a combined age of 99 killing one another. Violent, sadistic, brutal, hard hitting. Only needed a bit of juice to take it up a notch.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:15 am

Frak OFF BRADSHAW

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:16 am

Like the fact that thus far two babyfaces have required an assist or low blow (basically cheated) to get the wins

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:17 am

They list of Corbins accomplishments but dont mention the ARMBAR. Shows how much it actually means.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:18 am

Fair play Batista for taking some real bumps, but it was a weird match

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:27 am

Kurt misses the moonsault and Corbin capitalises and hits End of Days for the win. Underwhelming tbh, but you've got to hope they do something with Corbin now.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:27 am

That is a disgrace ...Vince might as well come out and spat in Kurts face!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:27 am

Kurt goes out on his back the way pros are meant to. Fair play, that would have been his choice

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:28 am

Anyway, lets not let that ruin it. Thank you Kurt for literally putting your body on the line for us over 20 years. Undeniably one of the greatest of all time.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:30 am

Even if they do something with him it's not going anywhere ...crowd aren't into him and he isn't anything particularly special...certainly not good enough to break through glass ceiling and if your essentially retiring a legend then that's the level of special you need to be surely...

And I'm not sure that was his choice... on his back perhaps but not to Corbin. You don't go from wanting Taker or Cena to laying down for Corbin. You just dont!

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:32 am

Need to pass the torch to someone. Corbin might not be everyones cup of tea but its a much better choice than Cena or Taker.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:32 am

Taker isn’t wrestling, Cena clearly chose not to (or WWE would use him) so the man he had a feud with and a younger talent goes over.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:34 am

THIS is a more baffling booking decision than Kurt vs Corbin. Lashley and the IC title get the demon but Lesnar and the Universal title dont? pffffffffffffffffffffffffff

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:35 am

I have to say...had there ever been so many 'meh ' performers who seemingly get a push or hold titles as there are now.

When I think of how many stars and potential stars are part of the WWE as a whole it's incredible how many times I sit and find myself going 'meh another boring superstar getting a main spot'.

I agree that a match with Taker was never happening and would have been awful anyway..

If Cena chose that Elias sketch over a final hurrah with Angle then shame on him...

If it was indeed Kurts choice to pick and put over Corbin then fair enough but I can't believe it was and there are certainly much better people who are more deserving or creatively can do more with than Corbin

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:36 am

You've got the backstory already with Corbin. It was Corbin that took Angles job as GM and he's been a thorn in Angles side for months. I think this match might have always been on the cards but Kurt decided recently to call it a day.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:38 am

I suppose in that sense it was amazing they actually ran a year long story with an ending which made sense in storyline sense with a proper payoff. So for that...congrats WWE

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:39 am

That's the best thing Bobby Lashley has done since he's been back lol

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:41 am

Right....Balor has to explain why he isn't always the demon....gives him strength to kick out of two spears and then powerbomb a guy twice his size...

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:41 am

Balor with a huge powerbomb on Lashley then follows it up with the Coup de Grace for the pinfall and his second IC title. Another short match but was fairly entertaining for what it was. That spear Lashley hit through the ropes was legit.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:43 am

Attendance announced as 82,265 which means it was almost certainly around 70k.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:45 am

The Frak was that?

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 4:48 am

Here we go, time to make more history. Hope WWE do the right thing and put Becky over to send the crowd home happy for the first time since Mania 31.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:01 am

Crowd are too tired. They’re fighting for it.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:03 am

They’re waking up

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:05 am

Oft that was a scary looking bump at full speed.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:12 am

Main eventing after 6 and hours isn't quite what the women hoped for I don't think.

Trying their best buy crowd are completely zapped. Didn't help we had what..2 duds before this one.

We could do with some interference just to get crowd vested in this

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:16 am

Cant help but feel that Mania would benefit from being 2 3 hour shows over two nights instead of one 7 hour show. End night one with Kofi winning and end night 2 with this match.

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:22 am

BECKY COUNTERS THE PIPERS PIT INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN FOR THE WIN!

by Samo Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:25 am

If that was the main event of any other PPV then the crowd would have been going nuts. Such a shame. I also think Becky should have won by submission to add a bit more drama but I'll take it.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 08 Apr 2019, 5:29 am

And they successfully feck up the ending too making it massively underwhelming and talking over what should have been Beckys crowning moment with talk of controversy and a not actual pin fall.

I thought WWE had brought in New writers recently....

Underwhelming sums up that entire show...

I will say huge well done to the 3 women of the main event for doing their absolute best to get an absolute dead crowd into it. They put on a show but when the commentators themselves sound weary and burnt out then your fighting a losing battle
