There was at least a year's sensible momentum off the back of it.

Ending the streak was the single biggest outcome of a match WWE could possibly do. Getting a little bit of "sensible momentum" (that I'd say barely made it to Summerslam, let alone last a year), out of a result of that magnitude isn't an accomplishment. It just proves JR and Michaels' point even more.

Completely disagree. Brock Lesnar is the single biggest attraction in wrestling and the most believable character around these days because of it. He still has the momentum going from it.

Vince's plan is working going by that kiss from Lana, she is a right fucking bore now she's with Dolph. Not the way I imagined her face turn going at all.

HHH seems far more likely to turn face than Rollins with the way the storyline has went. I'm sure someone on here even questioned whether the Authority were face or heel not long ago because they had no idea with the actions they seem to take.

Watching countdown on wwe network. Greatest Ic champions. This is the worst one I've seen. Ken shamrock is in the top 10 and neither Bret Hart and HBK are not. Chris Jericho is number 1 lolz

I've never associated HBK with the IC title.

I liked how Cena turned 80% of the crowd back on his side during his promo before his match.

I wonder if Cena really does want to be loved like Rock/Austin is.

Cena is loved. The chants are all just a fun thing to do rather than people actually meaning them these days.

Sheamus could not possibly beat anyone in 2 seconds when he needs a 3 count at the least.

A good RAW right enough. Shame Mizdow is back to being shite though. Seth Rollins is great and Orton is on top form at the moment although thought it'd have been great to see after every single match.

Apparently WWE have banned Rollins from using the kerb stomp.

I don't think there's anything in wrestling I look forward to more every week than Enzo Amore and Big Cass' entrance.

Yeah, The Authority can do the promo work while Cesaro stands in the background, of course, but we saw with Heyman that such a thing may not help him at all.

That's because Paul Heyman did absolutely fuck all to get heat on Cesaro or get him over. He spent his full time as Cesaro's manager talking about Brock Lesnar beating The Undertaker.

I wouldn't say it's just WWE releasing wrong attendance figures. I've been at Celtic Park plenty for instance and the attendance is sometimes announced as 45,000 when there is probably only about 30-35,000 there.

You've got to look at who she shows arse for though. Vickie Guerrero on her way out the door, Ronda "not even in the company" Rousey, and Brie Bella.

 

Very few, if any of the actual regular performers she constantly buries on the mic, publicly humiliates or outright attacks ever get a comeback, that's why it was a momentous occasion when Sting didn't let her slap him. She's a fantastic bitch, but she does more harm to the product than good. HHH showed more arse for Rousey that she did.

Pretty sure she did it for Roman Reigns as well.

Balthazar King is your National winner, lads.

Originals > WWE Beyond the Ring.

 

You'll then have to scroll down as it's in release date order -- True Story of WrestleMania is dated January1, 2010.

Ah, the release date order thing is why I couldn't find it. Thanks mate.

Would love to watch True Story of Wrestlemania but can't find it, anyone guide me to it?

I sooo hope there's a video of that.

They had something with Ambrose with the showing up out of nowhere thing against Seth Rollins. He could probably have ended up in the main event if they hadn't jobbed him out and turned him into a comedy act.

 

I've been thinking to myself, how would that have ended for those in attendance? Most likely with Lesnar snatching away the belt and walking off while Reigns celebrates losing the tug of war. If they didn't get physical on TV then there's no way they would've done it dark right?

 

Also, apparently the Smackdown tapings happened straight afterwards but weren't advertised. Half of the crowd left unaware.

 

How did it end on TV? I haven't watched it back yet. The belt fell on the floor, Brock picked it up and left, his music started playing and Reigns stood in the ring for a bit. That was it.

 

Re: Smackdown, they mentioned it before Raw and at least once during one of the breaks, then as soon as Raw went off the air they announced it, and then changed to the smackdown livery and started taping again in about 2 minutes. That's not to say there weren't a lot of people that left after raw anyway.

 

Ended with the two of them pulling at it and staring at each other, it was awful. It was even worse that this was a go-home angle for WrestleMania.

Was just thinking about Rusev while watching RAW and does anyone think he'd have been as successful as he has been as a heel if he'd been waving about a Bulgarian flag etc. or do you think changing his country allegiance to Russia was required to get the character over?

I never liked him when everyone loved him until I read his first book which I laughed my way through, he's alright as far as I'm concerned.

Read all over the internet that Seth Rollins pinning Roman Reigns was his first pinfall loss on WWE TV. I've just watched Cody Rhodes pin him in a match on RAW after Big Show knocked him out, were they saying that was his first SINGLES pinfall loss?

I've typed this now and realised it would be better served in the questions thread but I'm sure it was discussed in one of these threads so what the hell.

OK, edited what I quoted, but jeez.  Anyone getting upset over that needs a look at their life.

I don't believe anybody did...

Edit - forget it, maybe it wasn't a spoiler, and maybe me pointing out that it could be a spoiler would spoil it for people who hadn't noticed it the first time round

If it's what I think you're referring to, I've taken it as a spoiler tbh.

There's only 3 weeks to go and the main event of WrestleMania seems to be getting minimal attention. Reigns is a complete sideshow to the Orton/Rollins feud at the moment.

It's the first year I remember in a while where the 'Road to WrestleMania' booking hasn't picked up and been must watch TV.

With the recent Intercontinental title shenanigans, it's made me think of the 24/7 Hardcore title rule. They should bring that back for one of the titles, loved it at the time.

They do still have one option if they decide Reigns needs more time to develop into WWE WHC material - have Lesnar edge out Reigns in a competitive match, only for a frustrated Reigns to assist Rollins in cashing in Money in the Bank...

That would make absolutely no sense at all.
