Of course Cena's proposing to Nikki Bellicose in the ring at WM.

I think this is the least interested I've ever been in WM.  The outcome of almost every match is entirely predictable if you've been paying attention to WWE.

Shh!!! Be quiet will ya?! Alexa's walking to the ring. I like the way she holds the belt too...

Honestly, now that you mention it you are so right.

You won't like the outcome of that one my friend

So now after weeks of being a heel, we're suddenly supposed to view Micki James as a face?  Puhleeze.
  And now we're also getting Shane vs AJ at WM.  Whoopee...

WWE is just swirling down the crapper...so much suckage.  And they also pimped Strowman vs Reigns on next week's RAW.  Oh boy.  Strowman might win but we just know that guarantees a RR win at WM. 

I could write this crap in my sleep.

Pinning the champ just pisses me off.

Especially when the one scoring the pin doesn't even really have a feud with the person taking the pin.  The whole scenario just reeks of desperation.

Yeah, they coulda built up to the showdown at WM a lot better without Alexa losing and so soon after regaining the title at that.

And the McMahon egos are completely out of control. 

RAW was dominated by Staph berating Foley for the whole 3 hours then capped off by HHH beating the crap out of Rollins.  Meanwhile over on Smackdown we get Shane in a match with AJ Styles at WM. 

Egomania running wild...

I thought this was a really weak episode of Smackdown.  The Miz TV segment was flat, the segment where AJ attacked Shane was OK but they should have just let it stop with Shane laid out, the pinning of the women's champion by someone who she was teaming with just a week ago, American what'stheir names vs the Ugh-Os...sheesh...lame...

Oh...I almost forgot...we were also graced with a replay of that oh-so-memorable Borin' Corbin forklift segment from last week.  Oh boy...talk about excitement...

Yeah, I was so happy with SD in that Shane hardly showed his face and now here we go. Zzzzziggler vs Rawley sucked and even though we know it's scripted having and in-the-car camera to see the view of Shane's head going into the window is embarrassing. Did I mention I can't stand Rawley either?

I really liked Alpha in NXT and I've kinda soured on 'em. As for the Uggos well... you know. This was the worst SD since the split.

I was shocked by that stupid in-car camera footage.   That's the kind of weak nonsense TNA does.  They didn't even try to explain it.  They could have at least said somebody left an iPhone on in the car...or something.  Yeah, I guess every car has a camera in it nowadays.

Plus more champions lose? Twice in one night?! Yeah, I'm out for the night.

Well, glad I missed it then. Way to predictable and even without the dirtsheets I think all of us could predict the outcome at Mania. Last time I took about a 3 year break from WWE. So much so I had no idea who The Shield was at all. I think when I started watching again Rollins turned on them. At that point I thought "this guy is pretty cool and I don't like the other two". My opinion hasn't changed at all. Ambrose is still boring and Reigns is still terrible although I could get behind him as a heel. A heel Cena would be good too I think but I understand why they have to leave him a favorite, at least for now.

And I didn't see HBK on Raw but he confronted Reigns about Taker? Without even seeing it this assures me of a Roman win over Taker. While I am at it I have never been a fan of Undertaker. I did like the biker gimmick he did better than the deadman.

I thought the deadman gimmick was OK at its original time; it fit with all the other "cartoony" stuff WWE was doing and having Paul Bearer as a mouthpiece helped a lot.  I think it's long, LONG past time to ditch that schtick now though.  And I agree, I liked the whole biker persona; wasn't that when they were using his real-life wife as a plot device?

I thought this was interesting.  Not only is Sasha Banks married but she's married to a former wrestler who is now the tailor for NXT.

This has been the worst build up to WM I have ever seen. Also, I have never seen such a misusing of a champion before like they are doing to Bray. Hell, he has to be used first to be misused and he's hardly on tv now that he's champ.

Par for the course; Creative has misused Bray since he arrived.  And yet he still somehow manages to be over with the crowds.   It's amazing.   He's the real "dead man" because they've tried everything to kill his character yet it still lives.

Ain't that the truth and where's Harper? Such a great small push only to be a stepping stone after all the hard work he's been doing in the gym and on the mic.

I liked that last segment.

HHH is still eminently hateable as a heel. Especially when he's trying to defend Staph against Foley.  And then hits Rollins with his own crutch.

But it does stretch believability; who in their right mind would attack HHH unless they were 100%?

For me, the last segment with HHH talking down Foley and the beatdown of Seth felt real old school Despite knowing it's staged, I genuinely felt heat toward HHH for what he did. That is the skill of a true heel which seems to be lacking these days. It's sad how most modern heels can't invoke the feeling that someone like HHH can. Just a further reminder of how much better it used to be.

Anyone notice the "Firing" angle on both shows, Foley trying to fire Stephanie, and Bryan firing AJ Styles

hahahaha this stuff is pretty cool:





I hope they actually do some matches, havent seen any yet

Those were hilarious!

Who?! Who?! Who?! Who?!

Well apparently Xavier Woods and Brad Maddox:

Talk about a can of worms!

Well hopefully Foley being "fired" as GM of RAW will at last put an end to Staph embarrassing him every week.
