Doog

Would be a shame, but she's such a character now she could easily stay on TV, if she's able, and still contribute. The other good thing is that although she is champion, a vacation of the belt isn't coming at the worse time with the draft around the corner, they can easily shuffle the women around a bit to make it still work.

They definitely need to update the WWE Title, looked far too big on Cody, just didn't fit or suit him at all. In contrast, Priest looked boss walking down with the World Title.

I mentioned the other day I was fascinated by what the reaction would be to Cody and, unfortunately, it's gone the way I expected. Out of the four of them in the match he received the most boos and it was constant throug his big spots. It's so frustrating, it finally felt like we had a genuine baby face the fans had united behind and it was so fun, I'm hoping its just because Rock was in the match and if he isn't involved as much tonight then we'll still get that great crowd reaction crowning Cody. As it is, I suspect it'll be a half and half split between him and Roman and they'll have to mask the boos with crowd sweetening/fireworks/music at the end and just pray the crowd stick with him when we get past WrestleMania next week. Or they just have Austin come out to help him and the crowd will be going batshit crazy and we can pretend it's all down to Cody.

Christ, this show made me even more bummed for night two. Lashleys lot against Kross, LA Knight vs AJ and Bayley v Iyo are just dead matches. The video package for the women was good, but the fued itself has been poor The two World Title matches really need to deliver as Sunday is a dreadful card overall

Rocks grandmother going in last was bullshit like, I know it's only the hall of fame so it's nothing to take too seriously, but come on man, that's the headline spot. Heyman should have and deserved that. Her even going in is a stretch but headlining is shitty.

Fascinated to see the reaction to Cody here, especially night 2. Like initially he was still over like rover, and he is, but he has been getting a few boos recently and he does feel like a lot cooler than last year. The Rock being how amazing he's been hasn't helped obviously, but when it comes down to it on Sunday night, and if he does win the belt, I really hope the WrestleMania fans are fully unified behind him and it's a proper insane baby face coronation.

Decent show, predictable, In a good way, end with Cody and then Roman coming back. The night 2 card looks dreadful compared to night 1. 6 matches and one of them being Lashleys mob against Karrion Cross. Going to be a slog that show.

Most honest take yet on the McMahon stuff too, I'd advise people to seek out the interview itself as it hits better rather than posting quotes in here, but it was refreshing to hear Punk be honest about the Vince situation and he comes across very well with it. Tony Khan is going to have one of his coked up twitter meltdowns to end all meltdowns with the other stuff he's gone on about.

At this point they may as well sack off Roman and do Cody/Rock night 2 - Cody can win the belt at Backlash or something. Phenomenal angle, Cody/Rock is the match.

The problem they've created is that because The Rock has turned it on so much he's made everyone realise what a proper superstar looks like. I actually really like Cody and Roman, but they don't compare to The Rock when he's on it like he has been since they pivoted. He's a megastar and it's shown the current crop up. He'll be back for the next few weeks and the crowd's will be mental again. Obviously if Rock had never got involved then the crowd would be well up for the Cody/Roman stuff, but to get a taste of Rock in the form he's in to then go back to these just doesn't compare. It's a shame, as obviously it's been thr story and Cody is great, as is Roman, and when Rocks gone again after WrestleMania they'll be carrying it again, and after a few weeks the magic will be back, but its had a massive affect now.
