We won't be saying this after it happens

 

Apr 12, 2018

Yeah man lets predict undertaker and Jericho in a casket match and Cena Vs triple h two matches with storyline implications and totally not just irrelevant house show matches

 

Apr 12, 2018

I agree for the most part but I’m worried Roman will win the title, think that’s still their plan at some point especially after Roman’s promo on raw.

This is not a random Network special that the WWE does every couple of months. It's for a massive money deal with SA and the card is way more stacked than it has been for these gimmicks in the past.

You know what also has random matches with irrelevant implications? Wrestlemania! This show is clearly being booked to be the biggest show of the year next to it. The two matches you mentioned on top of a 50 man Rumble and every title being defended? That's huge man, and unprecedented.

Video is actually interesting (+ he talks about the Brock vs Reigns finish). Anyway this guy never really reveals his face (even tho he claims that he revealed his face before few times), and somehow out of all people, Bray Wyatt managed to find a picture of him. But that's not the case. To sum up, his point was that guys can get any woman if they have the personality, despite their looks. He used Jojo and Bray as an example and mentioned how some people refer to Bray as "Fat neckbeard" and yet because of his personality he's with Jojo and that she's not with him for the money. They exchanged few tweets then Bray ended up giving him a follow and they talked privately and it was all cool between them... Everything was all cool to begin with. Watch the video if you can to know the actual full story, if you're interested.

Meltzer gave the NXT Ladder Match and Gargano/Ciampa 5 stars

 

Apr 13, 2018

Haven't seen the ladder match yet but well earned for the main event

 

Apr 13, 2018

But Meltzer underrates WWE

5* is only reserved for Tokyo dome

 

Apr 13, 2018

Someone explain to me how you guys actually watch this stuff? I'm genuinely curious...

 

Apr 13, 2018

It's just an act meant for entertainment like any other tv show

The philosophy behind watching two skilled professionals have a wrestling match is like an art form or a play

 

Apr 13, 2018

I don't pay much attention to match rankings, but a 3 in comparison to some of those other matches seems quite high for Roman/Brock, that just me? To me that match was horrendous holy s---.

Also oh look it's the weekly random person with the 'why do you guys watch wrestling' post.

 

Apr 13, 2018

A 3 is considered the standard for an acceptable wrestling match. I didnt catch Roman/Brock (prolly not gonna bother), but was it truly bad?

 

Apr 13, 2018

All they did was spam their finishers. If it happened in NJPW it’d be 5 Stars

 

Apr 13, 2018

That's funny because that's the WWE style not the New Japan style. Saw someone mention on Reddit the other day you and @Sign Language may find interesting then

The legendary Okada/Omega match (which is my second favorite wrestling match of all time) had Omega take two Rainmaker's and kick out of one, with Kenny not landing a single One Winged Angel in the match. Two finishers.

Compare that to WWE main event matches where it's 10 minutes of wrestling an 10 minutes of finisher, sell, finisher, sell, finisher

I mean I know Brock and Roman had like 10 F5s/spears two years ago, I'm sure this one did too

 

Apr 13, 2018

Yeah it was basically like Tommy said, well that plus just Roman getting his a--- kicked 95% of the match. He kicked out of 5 F5s including one through the announce table lol, also had like 8-10 suplexes in there. It was a total joke really, the F-5 is basically meaningless now..guessing Reigns will kick out of another 3 at least at their match later this month.

Roman's last 3 Mania main events really have to be in the top 5 worst Mania main events of all time you'd think, for me at least I'd probably put all 3 in the top 5.

 

Apr 13, 2018

Tfw u realize Okada has never kicked out of the OWA in 3 matches w/ kenny

Tfw u realize njpw actually protect finishers

 

Apr 13, 2018

I was just making a joke

 

Apr 13, 2018

LMAO
