  1. I saw someone suggest they should do a one-shot episode of Raw, where it’s one continuous camera angle. I’d love that. Still think they should do a musical episode too. Have a laugh now Vince and Dunn has gone. For as messy as the Cody thing is, I don’t think it’ll matter on the night(s). He’s had too good of a run and has built up too much good will. As long as he wins the belt, all this will be forgotten about the same way no-one remembers the messy build up to Bret vs. Austin at Wrestlemania 13 or Debra managing The Rock in the build up to Wrestlemania 17. It is an absolute mess right now though. The best thing about Cody was how above it all he was. Bantering off everything The Rock would say. “Grow up Dwayne, it’s not 1999 anymore.” But then in no time flat he’s been sucked into the rubbish battle promos, trying to pop the crowd with crap lines and naughty swear words. You’re better than this, RollerCoadster. And yeah. Whilst I don’t want it to be the Gratitude Era, and it is daft to say people, “deserve,” a spot on the Wrestlemania card, I can’t help it. It’s criminal nothing-happening, waste-of-space, crowd-reaction-black-holes like Johnny Gargano get a spot in the ladder match over great men like this. Outrageous. No boy! I’d argue they’d make good hosts for Wrestlemania, but you assume they’ve pencilled CM Punk in for that. Wouldn’t mind seeing them do it with Punk though. Bet they’d have some great interactions with Phil. Sore arm? Pop yourself in the wheelchair!
  2. Rubbish, messy promo from Cody. One of his worst in a long time. Big step backwards. Another example of how Rock’s involvement in all this has simultaneously made everything feel huge and entertaining, and yet wildly unfocussed at the same time. Completely took Cody out of his groove. What are we even doing at this point? Cody’s at his best with a quivering lip, getting caught up in the emotion of it all, emphasising the end goal of winning that belt. He should be above all Rock’s nonsense. He shouldn’t be out there doing shooty BATTLE promos. Defining what a, “heel,” is? Get in the bin. I also can’t keep track anymore; when Seth was doing the Diarrhoea Dwayne stuff, that was actually supposed to be rubbish, as a parody of Rock’s crap material. What about Cody here, going, “LDS - Little dick syndrome - LOL!” Is that another crap parody? Or legitimate bad writing this time? Bonus points for a comeback that essentially went, “talk about my mother? How about we talk about your mother…lovely lady, actually.” Solid burn. Remember when you were cool, Cody? Hopefully Cody and Roman can get everything back on track this Friday. Whole thing has completely come off the rails. Fully veered into the Gewirtz-verse. The booking of that six-man ladder match at Wrestlemania is starting to feel like a wind up. Eliminating The Creeds and Pretty Deadly in favour of the New Catch Republic and DIY getting a spot?! Bullshit! Let it go, Hunter. These NXT Black and Gold losers aren’t a patch on the NXT 2.0 lot. My boys have been robbed. Anyway, this show was worth it solely for the final two bumps in that main event. Two crazy, wild bumps that made Becky Lynch look incredible. Best thing Nia Jax has ever done.
  3. Bart Gunn fell like a sack of shit.
  4. Austin Theory’s explanation for his Stunner-RKO oversell is actually quite funny. I don’t know if people are ready to admit this yet, but Theory’s found his groove as a midcard idiot jobber to the stars. Being paired with Grayson has improved his act ten fold.
  5. Bet you the negotiations are happening in a fucking stairwell.
  6. For someone so demonstrably talented, it is crazy how - bar the Boneyard Match, which doesn’t really count - AJ hasn’t had anything close to a show-stealing match at Wrestlemania. A Wrestlemania legacy that ranges from just fine to outright bad. This LA Knight match will likely follow the same pattern. Probably be good for a piss break. I can’t complain though. Whole thing has been worth it for last week, when LA Knight beat up a television because AJ Styles’ face was on it. Brilliant.
  7. It’s mad that they kept the belt on Roman for so long, only for his eventual loss to be completely overshadowed by The Rock. Rock vs. Cody now feels like the biggest match of all time. Roman’s the sidekick goon. They should switch Night 1 and Night 2. Main course should come last. All because Black Adam bombed. Bet Roman is wishing he bought more tickets for that theatrical run.
  8. Shane O’Mac is gonna run wild. Bloodsport’s just a poor man’s Raw Underground.
  9. Okada earned a solid million or two just for the comedic timing of him telling Marvez to sing Happy Birthday to Mathew.
  10. "The internet might wanna pick that up - me and CM Punk almost got into it at NXT this week. "We'll talk about it later. I don't wanna put it out there because they're gonna pick it up and run with it. But yeah, I'll talk to you about that off the air." Urgh. The equivalent of typing, “Absolutely FUMING,” on Facebook, and then when asked what’s up, reply, “Don’t want to talk about it, I’ll DM you, babe.” Booker T is the fucking pits. I hope Punk chins him and bans him from Collision.
  11. Streets are saying Tony paid her half a million to watch Takeover Brooklyn with him.
  12. It is bizarre that they’ve seemingly learned nothing from Rock and Cody and are still stepping on their own bollocks. You’re writing the stories. Why are you muddling the narrative by having two protagonists that can undermine each other?
  13. Stunned so many people are down on Mercedes’ new entrance theme. I liked it. But then, maybe I’m biased. Her New Japan theme was so rubbish that anything would have been an improvement. That genuinely sounded like something you’d knock up in Year 7 music class. I also think the C-E-O chant in it works really well in that Pavlovian Pro-wrestling way. Considering nobody had ever heard that song before, they were all chanting along both during the opener and when they wanted her to run in during the main event. Job well done. PAC has become the new CM Punk for me. So injury prone that I spend every match thinking he’s hurt again. Particularly at the end of this six-man, when presumably he was just selling the loss, looking all sad, I couldn’t help but think, “oh god, which limb has fell off now?” For as much credit as Will Ospreay deserves for that promo, his biggest weakness was still blindingly obvious. You could see the cogs working in his brain. Everything he said was brilliant, but fuck me his eyes were twitching about like nobody’s business. He kept glancing here, there and everywhere, as you could see him trying to remember his lines and hit his marks. It was like he was reading a script that was scattered throughout the arena. Really took me out of it. It’s something you hope he can improve on, but considering how demonstrably thick he is, I think it’s something we’re going to have to just accept. Only in pro-wrestling could you have a thought as morbid as, “ at least they wrote him off and put some heat on Bullet Club in case he dies on that mountain.” It remains utter insanity Tony Khan has allowed Darby to go.
