Perhaps worst of all, what the hell happened to the Money in the Bank 2011 idea that Cena was taking the belt and fucking off? Hardly anyone even mentioned it! Has it been dropped already? Has he ruined wrestling now? Do they even know themselves? It’s going to be the Summer of Punk all over again, isn’t it, where they write themselves into a corner they aren’t smart enough to figure out.

I have seen a clip where Cena refuses to answer a question at the press conference and says "watch raw to see how I ruin wrestling forever"...or something. I can only assume him and Travis Scott are going to do a joint walk to ring which lasts the entire 3 hours.

To be fair to the lady who got hit, I thought on Saturdays show that when people got launched into the barricade it REALLY moved. It moved more than they usually do.

There's every chance she hurt her legs. Even if she didn't, probably good for them to learn to be a bit careful. Austin was hare arsing around the ring like an idiot.

I've seen a video somewhere where Big Steve misses the entrance ramp up to the stage, then gets jammed on the side of the ramp. That's why he took so long to appear when his music hit. 

 

Looks like he was DUI before even getting near the ring.

The Rock hasn't even posted on his social media pages about Wrestlemania.

He literally cannot be arsed, can he?

Worst thing to happen to wrestling since the 'WHAT' chant.

Overall I thought the weekend was a 5/6 out of 10 at best, the main event on Saturday and everything up to last night’s main saved it from being an all time stinker

What has annoyed me is the tribalistic bordering dorky takes on social media all weekend, I’m talking calling Jey the worst World Champion of all time when shitehawks like Jinder Mahal and Khali exist, demanding Bayley and Styles leave WWE for AEW because one got hooked and the other was given the vet putting over younger talent treatment, the blatant misuse of the word buried about the World title finish, Joe Hendry losing to a 14 time champion and Cody and referring to Becky as Hogan like when she done more to get people over than Charlotte ever has prior to her time off. Oh and still not understanding why Bianca has been getting booed so much since Elimination Chamber

I actually think some fans have misunderstood what he meant by this. Not sure he meant “I’m off the moment I win this”. More, “I’m keeping it the rest of the year then retiring it”.

If The Rock shows up tonight, all will be forgiven.

Maybe not for you, but it'd be interesting. Raw after mania has been shite for ten years.

Why break the habit I suppose.

It's clear they don't consider it a "Thing" anymore. 2012-2013 were the only true Raws where actual meaningful angles happened. WWE is to blame for that. They conditioned people into expecting surprises.

Well I thought most of the two shows were cack and the presentation was also a load of shite. All the crappy sponsors, that dickhead McAfee on commentary, Cole returning to being an annoying catchphrase robot. I don't get the Joe Hendry stuff populraity either beyond the Fandango like response to his theme song, but even still, not a great idea for TNA to agree to their champion being fed to late stage career Orton in a pointless mid card match watched by loads of casual and lapsed fans. May as well have done a TNA/WWE challenge and actually built to something, vs the lazy slop they came up with. The Cena title win might turn out to be interesting, but I have no faith in tossers like H, Road Dogg etc to pull anything decent out of their uncreative holes. Company is not for me anymore. All the Americana stuff rankles me now anyway for obvious reasons, but knowing big players like Triple H and Reigns are MAGA twats has sealed the deal for me I reckon.

Joe Hendry got a mania match. And a payday. And he worked a safe and quick match. He's done alright in my book. Not like TNA matters anyway. 

[I Bent My Wookie]

Dom Mysterio doing a championship celebration being completely oblivious to the fact Finns mad, Livs depressed and Carlito has some form of whiplash is going to be glorious viewing for RAW tonight.

Yes, I'm still trying to find positives. It'll be a fun 3 hours if anything watching them try and explain why Cena is the SmackDown champion on RAW if anything.

Joe Hendry got to be on the biggest wrestling PPV of the year against a legend. He won just by walking down that aisle. It wasn't about the result. Losing to Randy doesn't hurt him or TNA in the slightest.
