So, you have Dean Ambrose here. At Wrestlemania he's going to be taking on Brock Lesnar in what is possibly the most anticipated match on the card, and what will almost assuredly be the best match on the card, and you can't even let him beat freaking Brown Snowman?

natbornkiller · 03-21-2016, 10:09 PM

is there a "popular" gimmick match they have not announced for wm yet?

I actually thought RAW was ok this week. Owens vs Styles was really good. The taker/shane video packages were pretty solid. Almost all the builds for the mania matches on the show were ok except for the New Day/LON match and Divas triple threat.

Next week needs to be a good show. No excuses!

fazzle · 03-21-2016, 10:13 PM

On a random side-note, I picked up tickets earlier today for an NXT House show the Thursday after Mania. Should be interesting to see who's there, and who's been thrown onto the main roster by then.

contract signings and 6-8 man tag matches

BestRCs · 03-21-2016, 10:54 PM

So if taker loses he retires? And there have been Some circumstantial evidence shane might win. With the whole "raw vs wwe" ticket sales.

I wonder if this is going to be takers last rodeo.

Ty Hope · 03-21-2016, 11:21 PM

"The failed project" Roman Reigns.

That's kind of a catchy heel-persona.

Ty Hope · 03-22-2016, 12:28 AM

Comment of the day:

"Put Reigns vs HHH on the pre-show... That'll take care of the boos."

I havent been watching since Fastlane, have they formally announced the Andre The Giant Battle Royal? I've been listening to the PW Torch podcast that covers Raw and I havent heard them mention it yet.

If it has been mentioned, I missed it.

Owens/Styles match was really entertaining. After that it was a freefall with the low point being New Day and League of Nations. How sad the tag team division has been, the worst quality of wrestlers/teams I've witnessed in my 25 years of watching wrestling

There's got to be some crazy angle to this. With rumors swirling that this is set to be the main event, I just can't see this being grey-haired Shane vs retiring Undertaker in a HIC match, with a clean victory for either guy. It would make no sense for Shane to win at the expense of Taker's final match and it wouldn't make sense for Taker to win and (storyline) keep The Authority in power.

Also, Mania can't be his last match. It has to be Survivor Series. Debut at Survivor Series, retire at Survivor Series. Hell, they should even have Ted DiBiase walk him down to the ring, just to complete the circle of life.

Looks like Harper suffered a pretty major knee injury in the dark main event. Reports saying his knee buckled on the floor and multiple photos of him being tended to while the match continued.

Hope he's OK. I still have hope that creative can figure out how to handle the Wyatt's.

They should take them all off TV, give them 3-4 months off and have them come back strong in the build to Summerslam. It's clear WWE has no plans for the Wyatts at Mania. Which is funny, because in the top 3 matches of the card there are no clear heels. Either that shows how little WWE thinks of Bray as a top heel, or maybe his back injury is way more serious than anyone is letting on.

jmarascojr · 03-22-2016, 06:32 AM

As a fan of Luke Harper and the entire Wyatt Family, I'm pretty bummed to hear about the supposed knee injury...

But I agree with CH, if the best they were gonna get at Mania was the battle royal, take them off for 3-4 months, let them all heal up and then come back with an unstoppable vengeance...

Yeah, the Andre the Giant Battle Royale is happening again this year, but it's not even on Wrestlemania. It's gonna be on the preshow that will be airing on USA, not the usual spots.

That's one of the better ideas in a while. Of course it will never happen b/c WWE creative isn't that... umm... creative.

Sixxrocker · 03-22-2016, 02:32 PM

Shane wins at WM then he will hire Undertaker back. No way it's undertakers last match WWE would promote the living hell out of undertakers last match which they are not doing. Just my opinion

I think you're right on with this. But, I dont think Shane hires him back right away. I think there will be multiple "teams" going for a while, as the injured superstars come back and decide which "team" they'll be on. I think Shane represents the rising stars from NXT (specifically Finn Balor) and the unsung heroes from WWE (Ziggler, Ambrose, etc) and ultimately, he calls in the Undertaker to help the new guys conquer The Authority.

WWE is trying too hard right now to play up the concept of "these are the guys we like" (WWE Corporate) but "these are the guys that you like" (WWE Universe). It looks like this will be a summer of "Us Vs Them" which will all culminate at Survivor Series, playing perfectly into the SS format of team vs team.
