AMEN. |

Maybe they let Lesnar win and then go on to break CM Punk's record because they don't want CM Punk to have the "longest reigning champion of the modern era" claim anymore.

Awesome news to begin the day with! Lesnar is a special attraction, and having the title on him legitimises it in a way that hasn't been done in a REALLY long time.
Really intrigued by what's going to happen at Mania. With The Rock harping on about facing Brock, maybe we see a run-in to help his baby cousin? Maybe Rollins cashes in? Maybe Reigns wins clean? Or, maybe, Lesnar decimates Reigns. And remains the reigning, and defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion. All bow down to the beast, the conqueror, BROCK LESNAR. |

I know Lesnar is heel in kayfabe, but if he won, would people really boo? Fans are still pretty behind Lesnar cuz he's a destruction machine. I don't think Reigns has to win cuz Mania has to end on a high note. He wins cuz Vince is stubborn.

I think that the open air stadium will really work in their favor if there's a backlash to Reigns winning. Most of the boos will probably escape.

This has gotten a ton of coverage. I was just on google news and it came up as one of the top sports stories. Its weird to see WWE mentioned in the sports section like any other league.

So did he sign a normal contract, or this limited-appearance crap again? If he's back full-time that'd be super rad

3 hours for raw is good for me. Branching out time for new superstars, divas etc. and for promos/ main events. Use your heads

Can't imagine anything beats Raw on a weekly basis for USA. I imagine the same would be said if they dropped another .5 or even 1.0.

It doesn't help that the actual good original programming they have is mired in god-awful scheduling. How does Suits always have 6 episode "half-seasons" ? Fucking awful.

That is a trend I have noticed the past few years with hit originals. Things like The Walking Dead, Burn Notice (when it was still on), Agents of Shield and whatever other shows are out there, don't really watch much TV. They vary in length, but the mid-season bullshit is bullshit.

They will still boo the piss outta Reigns.
The hatred for Reigns being shoved down throats + Lesnar being a wrecking machine > any positive reaction Reigns can muster at this poi(n)t. Narf. |

Case in point:
They even fucking boo'd The Rock when he came out to "save" Reigns. The Rock's facial expression said it all. |

Imagine how much of a pop would have Rock received if he came in and gave a Rock Bottom to Reigns. Would have been massive.

How many days until Brock breaks CM Punk streak? Does it match up with any PPV?

Yeah, Punk's birthday is the 26th.
So he can claim WWE planned all along to try to ruin his birthday. |

Lance Storm picking Rollins to cash in during the title match instead of after. I don't mind the Rollins idea but it seems more of a "night after Mania" thing instead of during the Mania main event. They like their grandiose endings, I can see Reigns having "slayed the beast", the confetti, the rah rah etc, I can see Lesnar also surrounded in confetti, "took to the limit but the most dominant athlete in history is still the man" etc, "Reigns' time will come" etc. I just don't see Rollins doing his sneaky heel schtick being the way they go off the air.

I agree. It'd be an out of the box ending for a Mania, though it could make it pretty memorable.

oh for sure, who knows. That's the best part. The only thing that bugs me is that Brock/Reigns could have an 8 star match and tear the fucking place down but if Reigns goes over, there is still going to be a section of fucking space cadets that try and boo him out of the stadium. That stuff usually gets drowned out at Mania tho so it should be fine.

I.e. triple threat match. If they decide to finally cash in the mitb case at Mania, I'd rather it be after the match.
For CSL, even if it's a great match, is it that wrong that fans may want a Lesnar winner? If you're talking about a group of muties just trying to be cool I get it but if the majority of the house is pulling for Lesnar a Barrett barrage of boos may be a likely scenario. |
