Well, I'll be doing the first three. Haven't seen Chip in a bit, so I'm assuming he chose option four. I was wondering why nobodies complained about camera angles tonight. I actually miss his saltiness in live threads lol I was wondering why nobodies complained about camera angles tonight. I actually miss his saltiness in live threads lol I think he's mad at me since I started thread heading again.

look, i love wrestling. i love watching wrestling. but they really need to figure out how to keep these shows at 3 hours, when you're main event is just rolling at 11:00 everyone is already burned out, and when theres been so much filler/nonsense that wasnt needed you could have cut 10 minutes out of the show easily.
RAW goes over a few minutes every week, fine...but like Wrestlemania a couple years ago when the damn main event started at like midnight....its too much. its hard sitting in an arena for 4 hours...let alone 4:15, 4:30...etc.
with the dual brand PPVs coming back i fully expect every show to be 4 hours now, they need to work on timing these shows better. i dont need to see the same hype video 3 times, we are all watching the same show at the same time, nobody is "just tuning in" to a PPV event.

Im so glad i dont watch this crap show of a company anymore LOL. All it took me was 30 seconds on twitter to see that nothing has changed in the slightest over the last year. Yeah I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown since last June and it's been an enjoyable experience from what I've read.

even though we've known the outcome of this PPV since LAST year....it still doesnt take away from the fact that its just getting ridiculous with Roman someone tell me exactly what this doorknob has done to deserve getting FOUR Wrestlemania closing main events in a row? Seriously. It's a ing travesty, it's an insult to every other guy who works JUST AS HARD and is 10x better at everything wrestling than Roman, to continue to take a backseat to this guy. and the worst part is that Vince knows this. he knows exactly what he is doing. because he knows that no matter how much we all complain, we are still watching. thats why its happening, because in the end, we might be angry, but we're still giving $10 a month to him, we're still watching RAW, still buying figures, still talking about it all the time, still giving him reactions. there's no other options anymore, and we're about to sit through yet ANOTHER coronation of Roman as "the guy"...because YOU WILL LOVE HIM......what else are we going to do?

This was Roman's first "superman" style moment in quite some time. He had a lot early, but since his title runs (all of which were short, by the way) he hasn't really had them. He's lost on TV to guys like Miz, Samoa Joe, and Braun. He's not the focal point of the weekly show. He usually just comes out, has a match, and leaves. In 2017, he lost at the Royal Rumble, Payback, Great Balls of Fire, and took the pin at SummerSlam. In fact, his 2017 PPV record was 4-4, and one of those wins was with the Shield. People act like he's been booked like a god, when he actually hasn't. Is his character bad? Yes. Are his promos lackluster? Sure. But, he constantly delivers in the ring and should have another banger with Brock. He wasn't my first choice to win, but I knew it was coming and he's not the worst option. We have two extremely predictable title matches at Mania and both should be great. The problem isn’t that he’s been booked like Superman, because you’re right, he hasn’t in some time. The problem is that everything the WWE has done that doesn’t involve him means crap. The EC match proved this. Guys like Rollins and Balor can put on clinics while Braun destroys a bunch of stuff. All three have gotten over organically, but it means nothing because eventually they all fall to Roman. Braun took out 5 guys tonight. Sure the quick answer is to say that it was to keep him strong in a loosing effort. But if Bruan takes out 5 guys to look strong, and then Roman takes Braun out to look strong, doesn’t this mean that Roman is the only one who looks strong. The WWE has basically created a tier list on Raw that looks like this... Roman > Brock > Braun >>>>>> Everyone Else This has been the WWE’s booking for four years now. Fans want something fresh. Why does Roman need to main event four WMs in a row? Hell, Cena never even did four in a row (he did two three-peats). They’re trying to book Reigns on a Hogan-like level when fans haven’t ever wanted that. There’s a way to push a guy without killing the rest of the roster. While Austin was the hottest thing on earth, guys like The Rock, Mankind, Kane and HHH were all able to rise to top star status while The Undertaker was still a credible star as well. In today’s WWE, everyone is sacrificed to Roman and Brock when they don’t have to be. Roman can still be a top guys without guys like Rollins and Balor having to flounder forever.

Stone Cold Steve Austin main-evented 3 Wrestlemania's total in his 6+ year run at or near the top. you figure 1996 was the start, 97 was when it really kicked in (wm13), leading in to 98...so you give Austin 97-02 as his true top years
14 ('98), 15 ('99), 17 ('01) were the 3 he closed out
Roman is going on his 4th STRAIGHT WM closing spot. and he just hit 5 years with the company, 4 of which have been spent in this ridiculous singles push.
during Austin's years when he literally was the biggest draw in the history of the business, there were still other guys who were worth enough of a mania main event spot.
just like to throw a few more coals on the reigns fire when i can

I am not sure why I continue to watch WWE. The finishes are so predictable and everything is seemingly done to ensure Reigns of another failed coronation. What's the point?
Also I really wish that they would have just finished off Braun after everyone hit their finishers on him. At least it wouldn't have made him look ridiculous

Absolute joke. If there's any solace that can be taken frrom Punk's leaving, it's that he went before all this Reigns rubbish started, and we haven't had to suffer through watching him get fed to this muppet.

How predictably depressing that one of the least charismatic characters with 5 moves is gonna main event wrestlemania for the 4th year running and WIN. it's absolutely pathetic.

That moment when Braun Strowman is everything everyone hates about Reigns times 10.
Kicks out of lik 8 finishers.
Pins everyone in the match.
Takes a pin, but it doesn’t really matter because they still had to end the show with Braun looking STRONG.
It’s comical. It’s like Vince always said, the fans don’t know what they want.

Answer: Watch all of WrestleMania and then switch it off and go to bed just before the main event starts. You know it’s on last and you know the result so just don’t get angry and don’t watch it.
Also, If everyone does it then they will notice a high number of people tuned out and stopped watching at the same time.

Except Braun is billed as the “Monster Among Men”, you can’t call him that and have him lose like a normal guy. So it makes sense for him to kick out multiple finishers in the beginning of him entering the chamber otherwise he wouldn’t look like a monster. Roman much like Cena is a normal guy who out of nowhere gets superhuman strength to defeat his opponents and rarely sells.

Well, when he is bigger and conceivably stronger than everyone else....and is called the "Monster Amongst Men," I'd say it is fair that Braun is booked to kick out of a lot of finishers. They had to end the show that way to prevent it going off air to a chorus of heavily audible boos and discontent
