WWE Discussion

[BlueAlpha1]

I've had the WWE Network literally since it came out on Monday, February 24th, 2014. I got it because the Library of the WWE is awesome and worth the entire $10 a month in my opinion. The current product has been horrible for years (since 2009). I'm not excited for Wrestlemania at all, but of course I will watch it. The matches just don't make any sense, the main matches should have been:

- Cena v.s. The Undertaker (Undertaker goes over)

Yes. Agreed. OR have Cena win in a heel fashion. We'd trade a 2nd UT loss at WM for the heel turn we've been waiting for for 12 years.

- Owens v.s. Jericho for Universal Title (Jericho goes over, KO gets it back at next PPV)

This is happening, but for the US belt. Doesn't really matter to me though because the Universal Title is not established as a real world championship yet.

- AJ Stylez (as champion) v.s. Bray Wyatt for WWE Title (Wyatt goes over to become WWE champ, Bray Wyatt also would have won the Royal Rumble. AJ would have retained his title over Cena at Royal Rumble, due to The Undertaker randomly coming out to cost Cena the match. Undertaker would have NEVER been in the Royal Rumble itself. Randy Orton would win Money In the Bank in June, then randomly cash it in on Bray sometime in the Summer, leading up to a rematch at SummerSlam).

Nah, this match doesn't appeal to me. AJ Styles should have had a match with Daniel Bryan or HBK and it woulda been a technical masterpiece. I know those two guys "can't wrestle", but AJ is literally THE safest worker on the roster and they'd be well protected.

- HHH v.s. Rollins (Rollins goes over)

TBH I don't really care about this match. It's been building for way too long and every year there's an obligatory HHH match that he always loses, except the ONE he SHOULD HAVE lost to Sting.

- From there, Goldberg v.s. Roman Reigns match and a Brock Lesnar v.s. Samoa Joe match

I would have done Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Owens for the Universal Title. Those are two legit badazzes with a hard hitting, similar body type and wrestling style.

I would have did the Goldberg/Lesnar match at Survivor Series (without the squash, but had Goldberg win), then have them do a rematch at the Alamodome at the Royal Rumble, where Lesnar got his victory.

The Survivor Series match never should have happened. It takes away from this match because 3 is too many. I wouldn't have had these guys touch each other once since WM XX when they first fought. Now, instead of "the biggest WM rematch since Rock vs Cena" it's "can Lesnar get any offense on Goldberg at all?"

At Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns would go over Goldberg, but Lesnar would go over Samoa Joe, but have it to where Samoa Joe comes out looking VERY strong.

Roman vs. Goldberg would be a disaster and get both men booed out of the building. The WM crowd is very defiant and doesn't like Vince's chosen good guys.

But your card is still better than WWE's

I find wrestling hard to follow at the moment. It requires too much of an investment since the brand-split. The quality isn't high enough to warrant sitting through hours and hours of the content.

I've come close to getting the WWE Network a few times, but like you say there are too many hours to follow now for free. I probably watch too much tv to begin with, don't need to add any more.

If you want to watch the PPV's, it literally pays for itself. $120 for the whole year and WM usually runs, what, over half that by itself usually?

 

[BlueAlpha1]

A lot of past WWE content is available for free on YouTube. Plus, with all the current programming, how could you POSSIBLY spend any time watching content from the past, unless you're a walking meme of the average internet wrestling fan (a 32 year old, basement dwelling, 300 pound neckbeard with thousands of DVD's and replica championship belts on his wall)

I mean you have 3 hours for RAW, 2 hours for Smackdown, 1 hour for NXT, 1 hour for 205 Live, 1 hour for Total Divas, 2 PPVs a month, and then house shows and other random nonsense like the UK tournament.

The four big PPVs plus RAW each week is more than enough for me, in fact 3 hours of RAW is a lot to sit through.

That said, I'm excited to go to my first WrestleMania, but I give this card about a 4/10. It could have been much better.

Guys watch this Bruce Blitz Rant. Watch the first one from 2014 on John Cena, it's EPIC.

Lol I've seen that. The first 10 minutes are pretty hilarious, but Bruce Blitz is a clown. Guy makes 3 hour PPV reviews with 6 other jobbers. The reviews are longer than the show itself and he tries to charge money for it. (Of course, he's not as bad as Seanzviewent. THAT dude is a crook and a psychopath lmao.)

I get my Youtube wrestling content from WrestlingJesus. A fat French Candian dude with a thick accent whose reviews are about 7-10 minutes long on average who doesn't try to charge for people to watch him talk about wrestling.

Lol, yeah Bruce has his own paid website now. He said Youtube kept flagging him. I like Joe Cronin and The Solomonster too.

Also you gotta take pics at Wrestlemania bro! Take those pics and then post them to this thread!!

I will.

The tag title match was just changed to a ladder match. Expect some spots from Anderson, Cesaro, and Enzo

Here's the entire card:

I like to listen to JD From New York (Off the Script).

The Network sounds like a good deal, but like I said I watch enough TV as it is. I also resent having to pay subscriptions for entertainment, although I have Netflix.

 

[Tenacity]

I will.

Bro what's going on over there in Orlando? You guys partying lol?

Damn I wish I could have flew out, I'm regretting it a little bit now lol. We would have partied tonight and tomorrow, then I would have flew out on Monday. I wanted to see what those nightclubs and titty bars looked like in Orlando!!

BTW, Goldberg got booed at the Hall of Fame and I'm happy! Sick of that 50 year old, 10 second match motherfvcker!

Hey, let's not be using "50 year old" as an insult!

I agree that Goldberg's act is played out. He should have just come back for one match with Lesnar and lost, as was originally planned. You can tell the crowd has been slowly turning on him since he came back, and I imagine he'll get massively booed at Wrestlemania.

Booing someone at a Hall of Fame ceremony is a different thing though, that's not very classy. That's a lifetime achievement award, a recognition of your whole career. Kind of sh!tty to boo someone there, even if it is Goldberg.

Lol, got it! And yes, being 50 years old isn't an insult, especially if guys keep themselves look good/in shape like Goldberg is at 50!

I also agree with the booing at the HOF.

 

[Tenacity]

That Wrestlemania set looks AWESOME!!

 

[Tenacity]

I can't believe Wrestlemania went to 12:15 a.m. this year! When you count the kick-off show that started at 5:00, we are talking 7 hours and 15 minutes!

It was a good show though, I didn't like some of the finishes such as having Bray Wyatt lose the title. Randy should have put him over.

 

[zekko]

SPOILER ALERT, just to be polite.

I didn't see the show, but I read the results.
So tell me, how badly was Reigns booed when he beat the Undertaker? Please tell me they booed him out of the building.
I also assume Goldberg was booed a lot, yes?

 

[zekko]

Thought it was cool that the Broken Hardys showed up. I've never cared much for the Hardys, but I'm a big fan of the Broken Matt character. Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!

Yes, Reigns and Goldberg got booed out of the building lol!

Undertaker retired after the match, it's time for him to go. If I were the RAW brand, I would have Lesnar hold the Universal Title for the rest of the year and have him beat various RAW superstars for it. Then at the Royal Rumble or next year's Wrestlemania, have someone like either Roman Reigns or Samoa Joe beat him for it. I PREFER it be Samoa Joe, because they are already doing things to "make" Roman Reigns, so said victory would make Samoa Joe.

 

[TheVirtualMind]

Just getting around to this...

I enjoyed Mania. The first half a lot more than the second half, but it is what it is. The Lesnar/Goldberg match was better than I expected, but the Undertaker/Reigns match was NOT worthy of being last. I understand why they did it, but the match itself wasn't...Good.

 

[zekko]

Watched Raw tonight, and I loved the part where they were chanting "Roman sucks" at Vince McMahon, and the look on his face when they did it. He looked momentarily rattled.

Roman's all right, we just don't want him pushed as the top guy.
