WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

No doubt a Roman win will give him major heat. The fans are not happy right now and all he is doing is walking down the ramp. No holds barred? I guess I missed when that was announced.

I just know Braun will be involved somehow, he hasn't been seen all night.

Wishful thinking, Reigns wins. Took about 5 spears, 4 superman punches, and about 6 chair shots but Reigns push to the moon continues unabated.

How can a Hell's Gate be broken by a rope hold in a No Holds Barred match?

So did Jim Ross call the match?? I didn't read it in any of the updates. And I just HOPE the Hardy's show up on RAW with the TNA titles. Come on WWE, go OLD SCHOOL like this:

JR called the match but IMO he did a lot less talking than usual and didn't seem like himself. But he's endured a rough week or so too.

I think Taker may be done

Im not happy Reigns won, he doesnt to me seem to be in the same league as the deadman. Also not happy Seth Rollins won either but I am a big Triple H fan so understandable there.

I wasnt too surprised to see the Hardys back and winning tag team gold. Wonder how long this run will last?

Not surprised bout Lesnar winning that was so obvious

It's being reported that the ring crew took down the ring without disturbing Undertaker's gear

I sure hope UT hangs it up. He should have done that years ago.

He's definitely a wrestling icon but I think his continuing to wrestle when he's in such a diminished physical state tarnished his image. Think about it, there are kids today who will only remember The 'Taker as this old guy who could barely walk. That's sad to me.

It's official. HHH, Jim Ross, and a few others are confirming it on their twitter and facebook pages.

Good. Rest In Retirement Mark.

It was a hell of a run for him. How long has he been wrestling? 30 years? 40 years? I haven't watched wrestling in years but it's a bit sad. He was a huge mainstay in pro wrestling back in my years of watching. Enjoy the retirement Undertaker, you've earned it.

He got started in wrestling in 1984. He became the Undertaker in November 1990.

I actually saw him come through Memphis in the 80s as "Mean Mark". Everybody came through there back then.

It is sort of sad but A) it's not as sad as what he'd become as he continued wrestling in recent years and B) at least he's still alive.  The list of wrestlers who died at a far younger age is as long as my arm.  

I just wish him well in retirement because as 007 said, he earned it.

And unless he wants to come back as a manager or some other outside the ring character I sure hope he STAYS retired. Too many guys retire, get the itch and continue to try to wrestler (I'm looking at you Ric Flair!).

And of course we start of Raw tonight with a recap of UT vs Reigns.

Ugh. Good for Reigns, he can beat a guy twice his age. I mean I realize it's scripted but good grief, stop testing my suspension of disbelief with this guy.

OK, get on with it already... Geez.

OK now it's getting interesting.

"Undertaker!" "Roman Sucks!"

C'mon if ever there was a time to turn him heel it's now!

Really loud "You Suck!" chants.  And now "Asshole!".  C'mon, heel him already.  HAHAHAHA!  And now it's "Ro...man..sucks!" to the New Day chant rhythm.

Holy crap! What a waste of 20 minutes. All of that and all Reigns says is "It's my yard now." and leaves. Yeah well stop wasting our time d***head.

UT wanted to retire after WM28 but Vinny talked him into staying longer. I'd say UT had the right time frame to retire. Too bad he's such a company man at times.

It's being reported that JR has signed a 2 year deal with WWE. Maybe now Cole will take a more behind the scenes role like he's wanted.

One can only hope.

Cole isn't terrible but he's so "scripted".

A RR heel turn is long overdue. I've never seen anybody draw so much hatred and ire from the universe.

Glad to see the Hardys back but as "Team Extreme" it's just an unnecessary rehash.

The thing is, like I read in a wrestling blog, for a real "heel" to draw "wrestling heat" the fans need to actually want to hate his character. I get the impression that most people don't hate Reigns or his character; they hate the fact that WWE keeps shoving him down their throats.

And within that context I'm not sure he'd make it as a heel either. I'm not sure it matters what role he plays, people just hate "him". Any heat he gets isn't "good heat", people are just sick and tired of him.

I think the best way to rehabilitate his career would be for him to just go away for 6 months and come back under a mask as an interfering heel before finally unmasking.
