While I would love for Becky Lynch to finally win something again to get her career back on track, I would be strongly disappointed if either Sasha or Bayley didn't win the battle royal, only for the other to brutally assault the other immediately afterwards. They can't build up the rivalry between the two this much and not have it pay off. Since there's no room for them to have a one on one match, a WrestleMania moment in the women's battle royal is the next best thing.
As for the Andre Memorial battle royal, I really don't know. I just hope it's someone good, who's career would be significantly benefited from winning it.

For anyone who has used the 20% at Smyths when handing in your Toys R Us Gold card, does it give 20% off the entire transaction or just 20% off a single item?

Seriously. I've been grinding on this game every day for the past 14 months, and I *still* don't have a 3-star wrestler. I bought a $5 Undertaker starter when I first downloaded it, but haven't given 'em one thin dime since. Exactly the same as me. Stuck behind a wall at 2 star gold. To be honest, I just gave up on it a couple of months ago. Unless you're willing to pour a load of real life cash into the game, you won't get far. It's such a shame, because it's a good little game when you forget about the "pay to win" element of it. It doesn't help at all that their prices are shamefully high either. |

I would love to edit together video packages for WWE. However, I acknowledge that that is completely out of my reach, even if I do manage to find work after Uni (I've read that most of the crew stay for decades, and new ones come up from Full Sail rather than recruited elsewhere).
With that being a relative impossibility, I'd be happy to edit one of my favourite TV shows. However I think I'd feel too much pressure, out of a fear of messing up something that I care about, to enjoy it.

After watching RAW clips, it was okay.
- Glad to see Nia Jax VS Alexa Bliss confirmed for WrestleMania. Hopefully they give Nia a good title reign.
- I'm super confused with what happened between Sasha Banks and Bayley, because the clips they uploaded don't make sense. The first clip had Sasha and Bayley in a promo, and weirdly just cut off mid-promo. Then all of a sudden they're teaming up together? What happened? Even if it's just highlights, you'd expect WWE to at least make it coherent.
- Either way, still gutted that Sasha VS Bayley won't happen at WrestleMania. It's WWE's fault for putting together such a stacked card. Those two deserve a big match on the grandest stage of them all. The unfortunate thing is that all of the scheduled matches for WrestleMania are so good, I'd have a hard time deciding which to replace, were it up to me. I think first choice would be the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (there's enough matches to cover most major talent). Second choice would be John Cena VS the Undertaker. It's a match that would have been great years ago. It's too late now. But although I'd much prefer a singles match between the two, a WrestleMania moment of Sasha or Bayley winning the Women's Battle Royal, and then the other mercilessly beating the other down is a lot better than nothing.

With the dust settled from Royal Rumble 2, we now start our path to the final CPV before WrestleMania 2, Final Stand.
With Final Stand featuring three Elimination Chamber matches, who will qualify? We have two qualifying matches tonight; one for the WGE Championship Elimination Chamber match, and one for the Women's Championship Elimination Chamber match.
Speaking of the Women's Championship, "the Boss" Sasha Banks made history, becoming the first ever WGE Women's Champion, defeating Charlotte Flair in the tournament finals at Royal Rumble 2. Given that Sasha had to overcome not only Nia Jax that night, but Charlotte Flair later in the show, that lends further credence to her worth as champion. Sasha has requested some time to talk before her match tonight, so we'll see what her first words as champion will be.
We now know who will be going to WrestleMania 2! John Cena won the Royal Rumble match, and now has his choice to face either World Heavyweight Champion Batista, or WGE Champion Randy Orton in the main event of WrestleMania 2. Given the history between Cena and Orton, one would have to think that John would have a preference for Randy. It was only last season that Orton took Cena out of action, and Cena has yet to challenge Orton one-on-one for his title. Either way, John has promised to make his intentions clear to kick off RAW.
The Intercontinental title picture is unclear, following Neville's actions at Royal Rumble 2. Neville interrupted Cody Rhodes' title defense against Sami Zayn, costing both men the match in a no contest. RAW GM Shane McMahon has seemingly rewarded Neville's arguably shameful behaviour, scheduling a one on one match tonight between Neville and Sami Zayn, with the winner facing Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship at Final Stand. Nevertheless, Shane has also demanded that Neville explain his actions tonight.
The situation between Christian and Sheamus continues to escalate. It all started when Christian defeated Sheamus cleanly a few RAWs ago. Clearly angered by this, Sheamus felled Christian with a Brogue Kick after the match. Both men then proceeded to cost each other Royal Rumble qualifying matches, taking each other off the card. During Royal Rumble 2, Sheamus was found brutally assaulting Christian backstage. Will these two cool off at some point?
Confirmed Match Card:
Curtis Axel VS Samoa Joe
Awesome Perfection VS Breezango
Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match:
Becky Lynch VS Mickie James
Winner challenges Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship at Final Stand:
Neville VS Sami Zayn
Sasha Banks VS Natalya
Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match:
Roman Reigns VS Edge

I completely disagree with the OP. I like bright colours. I'm not particularly a fan of any of his pre-2008 gear.
But anyway, I think my favourite Cena gear is a tie between his 2012 green attire, his 2015 light blue attire, and his current attire. Blue and green are the best colours.
I would also give an Honourable Mention to his 2011 red attire too.

Because the Diva era was a time when female superstars were presented disgracefully. They weren't given a chance to perform anything like the men, were deliberately trained not to wrestle capably, and were hired purely for their looks rather than talent.
By contrast, today's women are hired for their talent rather than their looks, are trained just like the men, and are given similar (though still not equal) opportunities as the men. It would be an insult to refer to any of the current roster of women as "divas", completely undermining the work and effort put into changing the perception of female wrestlers. I still shake my head at the amount of people still seemingly oblivious to the women's revolution, who continue to use the term to describe current female superstars.

Apart from the exclusion of Mickie James VS Trish Stratus from WrestleMania 22, I agree very much with this ranking.

It should be mainly accurate, but it isn't always. However in the cases of when it isn't accurate, it works out better for the buyer. For example, last year I checked the stock of Basic 69 Sasha Banks at my local Smyths, and it was shown as having 0 in stock. However when I went, they had one left. basic 82 aj styles and shinsuke nakamura near my arena is out of stock i should be going soon will they have them back? Not necessarily. It's just that there is a small chance that there might be one left. |

My username is comprised of my first initial, my surname, and my GCSE candidate number. Might seem odd to keep my GCSE candidate number of all things, but I put time into memorising it, so seemed like a good set of numbers to keep on using.

Excellent news! It doesn't matter whether it was a change forced by fans or sponsors, the important fact is that it has been changed. Just an absolutely horrendous decision right from the start. Although I'm sure a lot more people know about Moolah's history now, there were enough people beforehand who knew, so I'm not sure why Vince thought he could get away with it. I assume "WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal" is just a placeholder name until they decide who else to name it after. Mildred Burke would be an excellent choice.
Hopefully now WWE and Stephanie McMahon can stop glorifying Moolah and distance themselves from her. Frankly, Moolah deserves the Benoit treatment.

Hardy Boyz return last year. That is a moment I will remember forever and to me, single-handedly made it one of the most memorable WrestleManias of all time.
I was tempted to go for WrestleMania 6's Ultimate Challenge though.

I never thought of that, but it would actually make a lot of sense. That way the "Deadman" Taker could stay retired at WrestleMania 33, while "Biker" Taker wrestles at WrestleMania 34, giving the Undertaker one last match with the human side of his character. Everybody wins.

Asuka is absolutely horrible on the mic, and it has nothing to do with English not being her native language. She just screams every single word in the most exaggerated manner possible, and it makes it genuinely hard to watch. Asuka's a great wrestler already, promos don't have to be her strong suits. That doesn't mean her promos are beyond criticism. |

RAW was solid. It had it's good points and bad points:
- Roman Reigns continues to impress me.
- Why on earth was Shane McMahon working backstage on RAW when he's the SmackDown Live commissioner? It's hilarious how WWE overlooked this.
- The moron behind the text on-screen during entrances and promos deserves to be fired. Embarrassing presentation for a company in the 90s, let alone late 2010s.
- Loving the continued slow burn between Sasha Banks and Bayley. For once, WWE are handling a feud perfectly.
- As for the announcement of the Moolah Battle Royal at WrestleMania, I love the match idea, but absolutely HATE the name for it. Absolutely disgusting that WWE and Stephanie McMahon continue to glorify this disgusting human being. I'm all for this match, but they should have actually named it after someone who was at least a half-decent human being. Someone who didn't arrange for her female wrestlers to be raped, someone who didn't take a far too hefty chunk of their employee's earnings so they wouldn't be able to afford to move away from her, someone who didn't persuade promoters to blacklist anyone who didn't want to work for her, thereby creating a stranglehold on women's wrestling that held it back decades. And as for Charlotte's claims that Moolah "empowered women", that's the complete opposite of what she did. Hopefully they look at the negative reception to this match announcement, and rename it the Mildred Burke Memorial Battle Royal.
- I'm starting to warm to the idea of Cena VS Taker.
- Asuka is absolutely horrible on the mic, and it has nothing to do with English not being her native language. She just screams every single word in the most exaggerated manner possible, and it makes it genuinely hard to watch.
- Braun Strowman taking out the entire tag team division and proclaiming himself a one man tag team to challenge for the tag team titles at WrestleMania was both hilarious and a joy to watch. Can't wait to see what becomes of this situation.
- Loved seeing more of the building rivalry between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax. Although I do think they went too far with Nia's reaction. Why is that in all women's storylines they portray female superstars as emotionally over the top in such an exaggerated fashion? If this same storyline involved male superstars, you wouldn't see a male superstar scream at the camera and then stand in a sobbing heap after being called names. Why do it for the women? I totally think Nia should have showed emotion, but I think she showed too much in this segment. It just reminded me of the diva era, and that's not good. This segment would have been much improved by ending on Nia standing there in rage, rather than standing there sobbing to the camera.

Honestly, Fastlane was far better than I expected it to be. My level of anticipation for Fastlane was so non-existent that I forgot it was even on. Because of the surprises, it made it well worth the watch. - Becky Lynch losing yet again is disgusting. She should be on top of the division, but hasn't been in over a year. And now that we know Asuka will be on top of the division for the foreseeable future, it's a guarantee that Becky will not be anywhere near the top, at least until they finally end Asuka's streak (which you'd expect to be at WrestleMania 35, but WWE have ended winning streaks at ridiculous moments in the past, as Charlotte's PPV winning streak ending at Fastlane 2017 perfectly illustrates). - Can't say I was pleased to see Orton take Roode's US title, but I'll wait to set how it all plays out at WrestleMania before passing judgement. I'm hoping Roode will win the title back, whether that's in a rematch on SmackDown Live or at WrestleMania 34. Hopefully this was just a quick title change just so Orton could add it to his list of accomplishments, like Cena tying Flair's World title record last year. - What the actual  were those text/emoji graphics for New Day's entrance?! Holy crap! I'd read about them being used on SmackDown Live, but I can't believe they were out of touch enough to think they were acceptable for a PPV! Those graphics would look embarrassing in the 90s, let alone the late 2010s! Hopefully it's not long before they realise how pathetic they look, and discontinue them. - The Bludgeon Brothers' attack on New Day and Usos was awesome! The level of carnage was unexpected to say the least. This is definitely one way to get people interested in the tag team division. I guessed it would be a Triple Threat tag team match for the titles at WrestleMania, and this thankfully confirmed it. I am definitely looking forward to this match. - Charlotte VS Ruby Riott was surprisingly good. Charlotte made Ruby look strong, far stronger than I expected her to look, so I think that says something. It was fun to see Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan show their powers of teleportation. It was awesome to see Asuka make the jump to SmackDown Live (though why she is featured in the new RAW intro to debut tonight, I have no idea). I really think they should have waited for the replay to finish before hitting Asuka's entrance though, that kind of took away from it. And now that Asuka VS Bliss is off the table, we'll probably see Alexa Bliss VS Nia Jax for the RAW Women's Championship, which I for one am very happy and excited for. The only problem I have with this moment is that the WWE App spoiled this for me. Despite having turned off result notifications, they listed "Asuka chooses her WrestleMania opponent" as a Breaking News notification at the time it happened. Just moronic and really infuriating that WWE are happy to spoil their own shows. I keep Breaking News notifications on to learn of non-spoiler related announcements like deaths, HoF inductions, etc. If I wanted to know results, I'd turn the result notifications on. Just crapty behaviour on the part of whoever is responsible for WWE App notifications. - The 6 pack challenge was solid enough. Although they seemingly broke up during the match, it looks like Zayn and Owens are going to stick together against Shane McMahon. I'm very glad of this. Zayn VS Owens has been done to death, and so I find the prospect of them sticking together far more interesting. I'm also so glad that AJ retained. I'm glad they had the common sense to deliver on the dream match, rather than inserting Cena in there as they might have done. Overall, a very solid PPV. 7/10 |
