That’s why Tyler is back in NXT. He’s one of the only original singles NXT guys who had huge promise, that has been shut down. Everyone else has gotten into some main event title feud or IC/US title feud at the least. He’s gotten absolutely nothing but mocked. Not to mention Vince made him wear a cut off version of his gear because he had nice legs. That’s honestly disturbing. I get that you're a Tyler Breeze fan, but the guy never had a chance with his gimmick. I mean, there's no reason he couldn't be a solid midcard IC/US division heel. Not saying he is world title material, but he has definitely been underutilized on the MR.

Randy Orton literally married a ring rat. "I had dreams thinking if I can make out with him, he is mine forever"

Time for EC3/Drake to move in and get some gold.

I'd say he aligns more with Impact, but would not be the least bit surprised to see AEW pay him a boatload.

Last night may have been the nail in the coffin of my fandom. They completely destroyed SDL and ruined yet another NXT Tag Team upon arrival with a intellectually- disabled and unnecessary name change. Tonight SDL will get Reigns and the rest will be heels. Roman will now have an entire roster to tear through for more boring television. SERIOUSLY THE VIKING ING EXPERIENCE? ? It sounds like a 3D ride at Universal Studios...WTF

Honestly, if they're going to continue to have Mania be a 7+ hour show, they should probably move the time up to 5 or 6 P.M. for the main card. It's utterly ridiculous that they run that show 7pm-12:30am.

Bit interesting: The main card of Wrestlemania 35 featured 12 matches and had an airtime of 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 16 seconds. Here is a breakdown of the match lengths courtesy of CagesideSeats.com: 24m 46s: Triple H vs. Batista 23m 45s: Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston 21m 27s: Rousey vs. Flair vs. Lynch 16m 12s: AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton 15m 28s: The Miz vs. Shane McMahon 10m 47s: Women’s tag championship Fatal 4-way 10m 10s: Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre 10m 04s: SmackDown tag championship Fatal 4-way 5m 59s: Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin 4m 02s: Finn Balor vs. Bobby Lashley 2m 31s: Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins 1m 00s: Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio The times add up to 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 11 seconds or about 45.1% of the overall airtime. CSS also noted that Triple H has been in the longest match at Wrestlemania every year since 2013 except for 2016. So in reality, if WWE were smart and could produce a show with a palatable timeframe, this show could have been 3 and 1/2 opposed to 5 and 1/2. Also, there was no need for Joe/Mysterio or Lashley/Balor or SDL tag titles to be on that show at all. Cut the fat, give us the good steak.

If I had to bet money, I'd put my house on Las Vegas getting it in 2021. WrestleMania is tourist/vacation driven now. As a host city, they look for things to do for people who aren't going to attend all WWE stuff. Case in point, NYC, Orlando, NOLA, Dallas, etc..
Vegas is a place that could be a group of bros debauchery and testosterone filled weekend, or a family getaway with tons of attractions and pools. Not to mention, the absolute insane casino themeing WWE would do for this.

So basically all these reports of a botched mania main event ending show up and everyone suddenly thinks the ending to the Main Event was abrupt and boring. Such experts here. As soon as the refs hand hit the mat for 3 I said on here I thought it was a botch. The ending of that match was clear as day: get Becky the win and her moment, yet give the screwy finish so Ronda or Charlotte can come back and claim the shoulders were never down completely, rendering the result questionable.

Quick question, why does WWE insist on doing the draft/shakeup a week after Mania instead of the night after? Would make sense as it would serve as a soft reset post-Mania. Instead they're going to drag out feuds for another PPV with guys/girls all over the board.

One of my favorites ever. Hated him as a teenager until I attended WM23 live and saw the absolute classic he and Taker had. Made me a fan forever after that, not to mention one of the most badass themes ever in wrestling.

Was top to bottom a very solid Mania. My issues though: 1. Kurt Angle losing the way he did to Corbin. I get it, in wrestling when you go out of the biz, you eat the L. BUT, it has to be for the good of the business. Corbin literally brings nothing to the table. He peaked in NXT, wrestles in a skinny three-piece suit (which made sense when he was "constable"), and has zero character. This win literally does nothing to him an honestly diminished Kurt's career, because you know damn well, Kurt is going to have another match somewhere else. Total waste of Angle and an emotional sendoff. 2. Becky winning in the main event with a ing Dusty finish. The match was actually really fun and had me interested, but then it ended abruptly. Stupid finish in the main event with both titles on the line ruined the match. They didn't build to a climax for the ending and it really hurt Becky's moment. 3. 7 AND A HALF HOURS IS TOO LONG. Listen WWE, not everyone has to make the card. They could have easily thrown Joe/Rey/Balor/Lashley into the battle royal and had the SDL Tag Title Match on the go home show as the main event. I understand they want everyone on as a reward for a hard years work, but you can't always get whatcha want. They need to take a note from NXT and trim the show down to the main matches. Go back to the old formula of 9 matches and give everyone a decent allotment of time. They have the legends and characters to produce those "cool down segments" in between matches. It's ludicrous that the shows run until 12:30am on a Sunday. 4. Also, camera work in WWE in general is garbage. They cut to the fans instead of the shots of the champions celebrating or they zoom in on a move and you can't see whats happening. Not to mention the absolutely horrendous and nauseating camera cuts. Other than that, I thought it was a really solid show from WWE and the right people (Except Corbin) won in almost every match. Again, thought it was great show, looking forward to RAW/SDL this week and next to see where they go from here. I just hope that they can produce competent television going forward because that Mania hooked me again, I'm just hoping to not be let down immediately.

Had he not had that botch on Orton a few years ago, I feel like he'd have been a main eventer. Your logic is wrong.

I'm going to go out and say that the Andre Battle Royal will be main card because of the tie in with SNL.
SDL Womens Title, Raw Tag Titles and CW Title all on the preshow

i want charlotte out of the womens main event and just have becky and charlotte, but even if its a triple threat it'll still be good to watch. asuka will defend in a battle royal of somesorts it has to happen. Short notice, but get Charlotte punted, have her demand another title shot on Smackdown, rematch with Asuka. 2 marquee women's matches at Mania. I don't see why that's so hard. I actually have my doubts Asuka getting a proper match at Mania now, which is a real shame. I'd almost bet my life that Asuka faces Evans and wins in about 3 seconds.

I was in 108. Let me say I just wanted something to happen. They just kept building and teasing stuff but nothing ever happened. I waited for Kurt to get attacked by his Mania opponent, Lesnar to come out, Roman to turn (which it seems like may be happening), idk. Just seemed like a weird show. And the dance break grandma was amazing! I was in 109. DAMMIT, SO CLOSE YET SO FAR. I was a row behind the kid who was constantly screaming nonsense and getting yelled at by his mum. XD And yes, Dance Break Grandma is now a legend. LMAO....I heard that too! I'm glad I'm not crazy and was hearing her telling the kid to shut up lol

I'd assume Angle will face either Lashley or Elias at Mania

Drew is the future of the WWE victim of Roman Reigns, after which he will be stuck in feuds with Apollo and other midcarders.

Went to RAW tonight and by the end of Rollins/Benjamin I instantly regretted it. The show just had no flow or pacing and sitting in the live crowd for 3 hours of promos/matches with all the commercial breaks was tiring. Tonight's show had nearly every segmen build or tease to something, and nothing ever happened. It was a rough show, and I wish I would have went to the SDL House show that was closer to my house Where were you seated? In hindsight, I should have hit up you and Nick the Quick for a mini WF meet and greet. Completely slipped my mind. Show wasn't THAT bad. For my first non PPV other than a few rogue SDs, sure I can say there was a serious delay compared to normal, but ya know...how pissed at yourself would you have been if you didn't get to see Kurt say farewell IN PITTSBURGH? And the stuff he did during the commercial. Gave me happy tears. Also, GRANDMA DANCE BREAK belongs to Pittsburgh FOREVER. Blessed be Grandma Dance Break. I was in 108. Let me say I just wanted something to happen. They just kept building and teasing stuff but nothing ever happened. I waited for Kurt to get attacked by his Mania opponent, Lesnar to come out, Roman to turn (which it seems like may be happening), idk. Just seemed like a weird show. And the dance break grandma was amazing!
