-- Is there a basic format one follows when writing screenplays? I have an idea for one that could be pretty good, but have no idea where to begin, as far as set-up is concern.

-- This is the very 1st PPV, that I can recall, where all of my predictions came to fruition. I didn't give a clear cut winner for the 5-way, but did say if Joe wins, it'll be cleanly - which he did.
The way Rich & Sasha sorta sway their knees while dancing, it's like they're channeling their inner JYD.
Bayley needs to go on a losing streak, from here on out. Time to put over Nia, Dana (face vs face), ect - just so her character can begin to change and start evolving. As far as last night went, the match was just structured and booked badly and came off badly.
It's kind of a wonder we didn't get Goldust vs. R-Truth; you'd think with the turn so close to an event, a 'hardcore' one at that, that these 2 would be unleashed on eachother. Instead, the audience will be given a free match with the 2, on RAW at some point.
Dean & Miz on paper: egh, not again. Dean & Miz battling: this is really good! They have a pretty cool chemistry together, but really am hoping they can move onto other programs, separately. It's a shame Elias was removed from this as soon as he was penciled in. I thought he was going to return the favor to Miz (which would've made perfect sense; Miz wins the strap, and Elias/Dean feud ensues). It's just kind of odd seeing a guy who used to get bludgeoned for a living, in a standard match on an "extreme" show. That's like putting Kurt Angle in a hardcore match during a 'Pure' event.
The preshow match just reminded me of 1 thing.... Kalisto needs to be on 205!
Really wish Aries didn't tap and they would've went the 'passed out' angle, where a rematch could be made tonight (which would lead to a title switch to help RAW's ratings).
Corey Graves, once again, is the man on commentary. This guy will eventually be up there with the greats. Just wish he and Byron stayed on the same broadcast team, they flow & bounce better than Corey and Book (and cringe at the thought of Otunga).
This show was a solid Grade C for me. The action, for the most part anyways, was really good. But I didn't feel like I was watching an "extreme" event, but rather just another PPV.

-- "EXTREME" Rules..... egh..
Am guessing with the lack of number of matches, talent's going to be told to eat up time or we're going to be given quite a few backstage bits - which might make this event seem like Sunday Night RAW.
But I digress.
-
I see Sasha & Rich getting the win. They're over as a tandem, plus WWE's invested in the Noam/Alicia relationship, so a loss is good fuel for this flame.
I'm predicting Neville is going to hang onto the title by a thread tonight, possibly by a cheat or countout or something of the like. With RAW's ratings so low, a title switch saved for tomorrow night would make a great deal of sense on the company's part.
Miz is absolutely walking out as the NEW IC champ. An "eye for an eye" \m/
Alexa is too hot as Champion right now (white heat, as well as yes, physically hot). Bayley's "goody 2 shoes" character needs a decline, in order to evolve. Keeping her away from the title as long as possible would help the cause.
The whole Hardy gimmick situation is up in the air, so who knows what direction that'll go. All I know is, a 2nd Tag title reign is exactly what Sheamus & Cesaro could use right now. The Hardys winning the titles at WM33 was a great novelty for the fans, and a nice spike in revenue for the company, as far as releasing Hardy merch. But with any novelty, it wears off. And that's where the duo are at a crossroads, as far as creative goes.
SO ONTO THE MAIN EVENT....
Here's kind of the scenarios I'm sensing:
IF FINN BALOR WINS: it's going to be because of the help from Gallows & Anderson doing a run in. The GB aren't involve in any angles right now, and the last thing they've done was work against Finn. This would be their "extending the olive branch" to the babyface Finn, if who should win tonight, would go on to face Lesnar (with The GB not far behind).
IF SAMOA JOE WINS: it should be a clean victory or one of the other stars, preferably over Roman (I'm not a Roman hater btw). If Joe were to make Roman tap or get the pin after a Muscle Buster, the crowd's going to pop, giving Joe momentum starting tomorrow night, when he initially calls out Lesnar. Plus, defeating Roman in this, is going to be big in the company's eyes because Joe will have just defeated their golden boy.
IF SETH ROLLINS WINS: I believe it could be via "heelish manner" (no character change, but just a subtleness to it). Roman gets the spear on Joe, Seth blindsides Roman sending him through the ropes and Seth capitalizes with the pin over Joe - possibly ending their feud before Rollins goes on to Lesnar.
IF BRAY WYATT WINS: It's unlikely he's going to, but in the matter, I'd say it's at the hands of the GB doing a run-in AGAINST Finn, allowing Bray to hit Sister Abigail and get the duke over Finn. A Brock/Bray program would be different, but interesting. POST: At GBoF (I refuse to acknowledge that name, so I'm just using initials), I can see Finn aligned with GB at this point, costing Bray the win against Brock so Brock not only holds onto the title as planned, but a Bray/Finn feud could finally commence.
IF ROMAN REIGNS WINS: The least likely to win tonight, honestly. I respect the guy and I like his in-ring routine, he doesn't hurt guys, he's smooth with every move, and he's charismatic. It's qualities like those, that has the company putting stock into him, to be penciled-in to face Brock at WM34, next year. After tonight, we'll either see a 'face vs face' feud with Seth or we may see a Roman/Joe feud ignite.

-- Absolutely none.
1. If they're already retired, chances are ring rust has set in.
2. If they're already retired, something in their mind is certain that they can't perform at the level they way to any longer. This would hinder any attempt at proving yourself, your fans, ect. otherwise!
and that co-insides with 3... Time passing/Age. Just look at Taker's mobility. Or Sting's mobility, 2 years ago. This is why I'd rather see Kurt Angle performing in the ring RIGHT NOW, rather than time wasting with him as a GM. Of course, The E tends to always pull the trigger on things at most times, being the wrong time.

-- RAW has all the Shield members, as well as Finn to form his own actual 'Club'. RAW is shooting themselves in the foot by not pulling the trigger on this.

-- ..maybe the Pro-WWE'ers, yes.. For any class of fan its too much. When it comes to pro wrestling more is not better. Its a template that companies have tried to use for years and it always backfires. Its what makes things like NXT or the old original (non TNN) ECW and 80s WWF special. You got maybe an hour or two a week, rarely were they on the same day. It always left you wanting more. With 15 matches, to do any of the talent any favors they would need at least 20 mins per match. That's 5 hours alone in matches. Including entrances, promos and just standard down time you're looking at a nearly 8 hour event. Even the most die hard of wrestling fans would complain about that. -- You have a point. I guess it's dependent on the individual; people were complaining about how long WM32 was, and I was inside AT&T an hour before the show started, and half hour after the main event and I was still amped up. Some fans can take it while others (and like you said, probably most) can't.

-- The gear is spot on. But an [nWo] Hollywood tanker? Is this a rib or joke from Mattel or something...? I mean [nWo] Wolfpack tank tops exist (thanks to the Nash & Sting releases)... so what's the deal here? Hall WAS nWo Hollywood. He turned on Nash and they ended up feuding. This was what lead to Hall's drunk angle. This is meant to be more of a 1996-1997 look. The RSC Exclusive we got in white and black was Hall's look during the nWo Wolfpac run. -- I'm aware of the history. And I appreciate the appropriate appearance clarification. Still, if you're presenting Hall as a Wolfpack release, common sense would be to include an [nWo] Wolfpack tanker (is all I'm saying).

-- So the gym has gotten a little stale for me as of late, and as of yesterday, began the path on DDP Yoga (after a 2 1/2yr absence).
Already feel those muscles come alive that lifting weights and doing cardio, can normally forget about.

-- If not Matty (since it's apparently dead), perhaps another outlet online. Nor I have a Walmart anymore either, since relocating. More internet options, Mattel.

-- Crooked belts are just weird. Like the Big Show's duel tag belts. Or the "winged eagle" belts, missing the top corner of the strap where the main plate goes. Wish Mattel would fix these errors, as previous toy companies never seemed to have this issue when making belts.
