Francesc Fabregas Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Read the results from last night's show and there's a couple of things in there that certainly raise eyebrows, most notably Zack Ryder beating Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens taking the pin during the six-man tag-team match. Seems a really strange way to build towards WrestleMania. I caught a tiny bit of it this morning and thought the section between Shane McMahon and the Undertaker was pretty neat. Doesn't really explain why they're fighting and what's at stake but it was alright all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The first 10 minutes were brilliant, the rest was garbage. The lack of interest from the crowd in hunter reigns is incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Have I missed it or have they explained why Taker is fighting for Vince yet and why he hasn't just said 'Nah, don't fancy it lad' to Vince? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 HHH totally wins at Mania I can see interference. HBK the most obvious on behalf of HHH and Dwayne for Roman.Looks like Trips about to win due interference from Shawn. Dwayne makes the save and Roman wins. RR celebration (to a chorus of boos) then attacks Dwayne cementing the heel turn we all want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I love that Shane completely missed Taker with the elbow on the table. Almost a decent segment ETA Hiya Sandow Hiya pal Edited March 29, 2016 by Gianfranco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The New Day are painfully awful viewing The League of Nations are top heel talent being utterly ruined in diddy nonsense matches like this. Somebody get Vince Russo on the phone, can't get worse! f**k off, League of Nations is utter shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The New Day are getting slightly annoying. Whether it's the face turn it not, it's getting stale....which is a shame. Can't believe Ryder beat Jericho, is there anyone he won't job too?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 AJ Styles is irritating as f**k. Looks like a p***k too. Phenomenal wrestler - shite human being, Exactly why sky sports don't normally show it live, hopefully it means something would happen this week. It isn't shown live, anywhere. Recorded on a Tuesday and shown worldwide on a Thursday. The New Day are painfully awful viewing You know nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Doesn't explain why he just simply refuses to do Vince's bidding. Because its kayfabe. Little kids will be sitting at home just now panicking in case Taker loses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Roman Reigns' segments were pretty tragic. Other than the suicide dive, which drew a mixed response, everything the guy did was met with boos. I'm expecting a turn, if not at WrestleMania then on the following Raw. There's no way they can maintain this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Because its kayfabe. Little kids will be sitting at home just now panicking in case Taker loses. I'm not a little kid! That's my point! Those guys should be competing at the top not some diddy stable. They're shite and with the exception of Rusev should all be fired. I think Barrett is leaving this year anyway, but Sheamus (bland as f**k) and Del Rio (the blandest of all) should follow him. There's still a chance to save Rusev though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Barrett is leaving this year anyway, but Sheamus (bland as f**k) and Del Rio (the blandest of all) should follow him. There's still a chance to save Rusev though. I disagree. I think every single one of them, including Barrett who will probably leave, has the potential to be at the very least a solid member of the roster. It's just this current gimmick has had absolutely no effort put into it whatsoever. Rusev is definitely the one with the most potential, but if you treat Sheamus and Del Rio a bit better, not make them look like complete jobbers, they could do something. LoN break up storyline? Barrett leaves to start it, then Rusev, Sheamus and Del Rio battle in a Triple Threat. Don't think that would be too bad a match. Better than the shite they're doing now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm not a little kid! Appreciate that but using a forced retirement situation or "loser leaves town" type deal has been part of wrestling booking probably longer than I've been alive. We know the Taker could afford to just say "Who cares? I'm off" but that would be bad both in kayfabe terms and also would devalue WWE and Mania. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they ruined Barrett when they had Cena destroy all of the Nexus by himself (including jumping off the floor after being DDT'd on concrete then pinning and submitting two of them). Since then he's been flailing. Sheamus is just bland and I've never been a fan. Del Rio is one of the most boring wrestlers to have been around in the last few years and nothing will change that. He adds nothing. Appreciate that but using a forced retirement situation or "loser leaves town" type deal has been part of wrestling booking probably longer than I've been alive. We know the Taker could afford to just say "Who cares? I'm off" but that would be bad both in kayfabe terms and also would devalue WWE and Mania. Aye I know all that, but in storyline terms I still don't understand why Taker has agreed to fight Shane in the first place, unless I've missed something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's a booking that should have never been put together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't fight (or beat) Shane he is banned from future Wrestlemania's as the boss makes the rules. Not quite sure how you could've missed that its been discussed at length on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how you could've missed that its been discussed at length on here. Because this was bolted on at the end. It had already been a match for several weeks without the stipulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
