Hated the Jackass crap. But I'm not a fan of silly stuff. Those guys annoy me to no end

[Jordan]

Oh man that McAfee/Theory/Austin/McMahon segment was great.

[rez]

Austin Theory is a poor man's Sammy Guevara :lol:

Lol was thinking the same

[Evil Vito]

Good on McAfee. Would’ve been a shame if Austin’s last Stunner ever was an awful one.

[OssMan]

?

[GD]

Oh man that McAfee/Theory/Austin/McMahon segment was great.

But but but they could've used that time to give New Day some offense :'(

[Jordan]

Still chuckling over the way McMahon took that stunner.

[Triple A]

love cartoon-like stuff like this

Night 2 has kinda felt like a Triller PPV. It's been a lot of fun but not a great "wrestling show", but decent enough so far. Personally the Edge/AJ match bored me and I got tired so it took a while for me to get back into the show.

Last night was awesome and all time tops in a lot of ways. I think I'd have said that about night 1 last year too though. This main event will really make or beak this 2nd day for me.

[Evil Vito]

Roman’s entrance length makes even the Undertaker blush

[GD]

I might be the biggest Lesnar mark on the forum but I hope Reigns wins tonight.

[GD]

Roman’s entrance length makes even the Undertaker blush

That's 10 more minutes New Day could've used to build quality offense.

[GD]

AR graphics have ruined championship screens.

[Triple A]

Guru Dave sassy tonight!!

[Triple A]

Roman Reigns looks like a CGI rendering

[GD]

Guru Dave sassy tonight!!

Oh please :roll:

[Evil Vito]

This should be good, calling it the biggest WM match of all time before it ever happens though reeks of marketing Edge vs Orton as the greatest match of all time.

[Evil Vito]

Two big meaty lads throwing bombs is the way to go with this

[Evil Vito]

lol "Brock loves a slow, methodical pace"

You mean the guy who hits a million Germans and an F5 and generally finishes his matches as soon as possible?

[Evil Vito]

I should get around to rewatching that first Roman/Brock Mania match which I remember being this incredibly gritty, cool take on what a Mania main event could look like to see how I feel about it now. I mean, I probably won't, but watching this thing definitely makes me want to.

[OssMan]

finally finished my "capstone project" for masters degree...

[GD]

Fuck yeah! Roman Reigns wins :yes:

[OssMan]

damb that felt boring...

[Triple A]

hmm

[GD]

Did I just hear Roman's old theme a bit before the replay?

[Shisen Kopf]

Wonder how owenbrown feels about this?

[Stickman]

I haven't really watched since pre-covid.....Roman is still boring as fuck.

[rez]

Cody should come out and challenge!

[rez]

finally finished my "capstone project" for masters degree...

Grats!

[Evil Vito]

Night 1 kicked the absolute shit out of Night 2.

[GD]

damb that felt boring...

What's more boring, "Oss"Man? The pageantry of WrestleMania or your capstone project?

[GD]

Brock and Roman have had 3 'eh' WM main-events with each other.

Let's not have a fourth please.

Their first WM match was solid.

[Evil Vito]

Roman was on track to beat Goldberg for the title at WM36, but he understandably decided to stay home during the first few months of COVID. He then won the title basically as soon as he came back.

I have to think the heel turn is one of those things they always planned eventually and it probably would've happened around the same time he actually did it (SummerSlam). So it's not inconceivable he'd be two full years into the his title run by this point.

Could quite easily see him actually getting to that mark as is. Dude deserves it.

[OssMan]

What's more boring, "Oss"Man? The pageantry of WrestleMania or your capstone project?

I had the match on mute while i was going over everything about to submit... was like 5 mins... when i came back the match ended like 5 seconds later

[RaginRonic]

So with WrestleMania 38 now fully complete, and the result of the main event known, here's what's in my head about that now.

Roman Reigns will not have his time on top continue all the way to WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium on April 1-2, 2023. Between now and then, he will drop the title to someone.

He will then get the title back, and then go into Mania 39 as champ.

I'm thinking that the WWE Hall of Fame headline inductee will be The Rock. But I also think that he will face Roman for the title in the overall main event on Night 2.

The Rock won't beat Roman, and then the next night on Raw, The Rock will announce his full retirement from professional wrestling, and then leave to return to Hollywood permanently.

Then, Paul Heyman will betray Roman, cost him the title, and return Roman to babyface status, as the one Paul will align with will become the new champion.

As for Brock Lesnar right now, I'm thinking that he will retire from in-ring competition soon, and spend a long layoff at his home. When he comes back, I see him possibly being the WWE Hall of Fame headline inductee during the weekend of WrestleMania 40 in 2024. He might have one last match then, but on that, my mind is 70-30 against.

I don't know whether to say WrestleMania 38 was good or bad, but I will say, as is the case with all Manias, that it was an insane 2-night ride.

And here's hoping that Cody Rhodes can A] become World Champ within the next 2 years, and B] he tells Vince in the ring to truly take the Forbidden Door apart, and agree to a Pro Wrestling/Sports Entertainment World Series, which I see as a 14-day event in the summer.

But, yeah....WrestleMania's now done, and we wait for the Raw After Mania tomorrow.

=P

[#1-norm-fan]

By 40 they’ll figure out how to have holograms wrestle and bring back Andre, Hogan, etc. to wrestle some YouTube celebrities.

[GD]

I had the match on mute while i was going over everything about to submit... was like 5 mins... when i came back the match ended like 5 seconds later

I fell asleep trying to read that :o

[xrodmuc316]

Very fun 2 nights.

Liked Triple H getting the chance come out and get a proper sendoff.
Feel like Stone Cold caught Vince in the nuts on the Stunner setup kick.
How crazy is it that Vince McMahon had a match more recently than Triple H.
The Jackass stuff was pure comedy, and Sami continues to be the shining example of an entertainer.
None of the tag matches were much to remember.
Edge vs AJ was a great match, loved them both selling injuries the whole match.
Bobby Lashley is pretty awesome.
Butch seems to be playing a version of early Hornswoggle where he is always trying to get involved and Sheamus has to hold him back.
Glad Roman won, but would have liked a more definitive win ala Rock over Stone Cold at Mania 19.

slikhausen to horny jail.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Pretty fucking surreal the WWE put together not only one, but two great nights of wrestling. And it seems like they have plenty of stuff set up coming out of it too. You can’t complain about them finally getting good. I hope they keep at it.

[XL]

Hope they send Steveson immediately to the PC to do some work on his presence. Charisma is a more tricky one, but just having presence is gonna be the first hurdle for him to get over. That’s the difference with a Logan Paul. Could also do with doing some crunches to avoid the Corbin problem.

[XL]

But the dude is 21.

[Mr. Nerfect]

But the dude is 21.

That’s where I fall. He’s barely had time to process winning the NCAA. Then he’s thrown in front of stadium full of people.

[XL]

Oh absolutely. I do think presence is usually something that comes naturally though. Confidence will come with experience and maybe confidence is part of presence. It will depend on if WWE can hold back on having him front and centre immediately to capitalise on his Olympic and NCAA wins, in which case I think he’ll pick up some stink like Mark Henry did when he debuted far too soon.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You might be right. I think a difference between him and Mark Henry is that Gable will be able to do the moves and high spots that get the people into his athletic talent. And when he gets used to doing his shit in front of people, and they start to get into him, it might give him more to react to in terms of developing a persona.

He’s going to have Brock, Roman, Heyman and probably a bunch of other guys going out of their way to try and bring it out of him too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Chad Gable is a treasure. RKBro should not split up. Let them be a money team. You’ve got Edge & Priest, Styles & Balor, a potential heel run for the Profits. There’s star potential in all these teams. So glad to see tag team wrestling actually mattering.

Gable Steveson is green as goose shit, of course. But this was a pretty smart and special way to introduce him. He’s got the Gable vs. Gable thing and he can look as good as possible when that happens.

Bobby Lashley is not someone I would have actually considered a great worker a few years ago. But he’s really got it all together and feels like a top guy. Think it’s good he won this. Omos has a long way to go. He seems to be getting pieces of it. But his look, his work — it all needs to come together a bit better. Omos should be a bodyguard for some heels.

Whoever put together the visual idea of Omos making Bobby Lashley look small should be praised. I didn’t think it would look as effective as it did.

Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville would not normally be my thing. But holy fuck did they go out there to entertain. It wasn’t as offensive as a lot of other wrestling that tries to be this kind of spectacle can be. It suits Johnny Knoxville to be out there doing this stuff, lol. Knoxville > Zayn > Bryan

The women’s tag…I get what they are going for. I get that they all worked hard. They got a bit of time. A face team won and they want us to care about those belts. I can imagine people who like Sasha or want this tag team thing to take off being into this. And yeah, I can see them trying to heat up the division. But multi-team tags are hard tl care about if they don’t have Chad Gable in them.

It’s pretty unbelievable Edge is doing what he’s doing. I loved his gear for some reason. AJ’s too. You can tell this meant the world to them and they busted ass. I’m just not that into the story around this yet. That can very easily change with the inclusion of Damian Priest and maybe other players.

The New Day got their spot. Second time they’ve lost to Sheamus at Mania. In fact, that happened the last time they were in Texas, didn’t it?

Pat McAfee/Austin Theory/Vince McMahon/Steve Austin…just pure electricity. Love that feeling you get when you really want Austin to come out, then he fucking comes out! So easy. Pat McAfee is great. Austin Theory “gets it.”

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar did exactly the sort of match that you would expect from them. 7 years in the making. 20 years if you count Brock beating Rock in 2002 as him striking out against the family.

[Rammsteinmad]

When was the last time Lesnar had a match where he wasn't speared through the barricade?

[XL]

Vs. Theory at MSG? Elimination Chamber. But before that probably vs. Drew at WM36 (although I’m not sure that he didn’t go through it then).

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brock is such a great worker.

[Jordan]

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar did exactly the sort of match that you would expect from them. 7 years in the making. 20 years if you count Brock beating Rock in 2002 as him striking out against the family.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say about the show. Night 1 was a lot better but Night 2 was fun. Somehow the Knoxville/Zayn match stands out along with the McAfee/Thery/McMahon/Austin segement.

I wish I enjoyed AJ/Edge more, I just got really tired during that match and almost fell asleep. The main event satisfied me, no complaints.

Reports that Roman may be injured legit, you can see his triceps very red and swollen.

[Evil Vito]

I thought the main event kinda sucked and I don't blame either guy for it at all because they are stellar workers. They were just following the same template they were told to follow.

When Brock first did the German Suplex/finisher spam match back on Cena it totally worked because it was totally unexpected and a complete deviation from the norm.

Either guy doing that match with someone like Goldberg also makes total sense because it's Goldberg, he's old and his selling point is his explosiveness, so going right to finishers out of the gate is the best option.

But Brock and Roman are both great wrestlers, they don't have to do a finisher spam match. Moreover, they've already done a finisher spam match at Mania 4 years ago, if I recall correctly Roman got hit with like 7 F5s or something. So to do the same kind of match again just felt...meh. WM31 was pretty easily the best of their 3 Mania confrontations IMO.

[XL]

My thoughts exactly. The heavy fire, signature/finisher spam thing doesn’t do it for me.

[XL]

There’s a horrible irony in Boogs’ injury; they used a fake leg injury in the build up to the match only for him to legit blow it out. Poor guy.

[drave]

Found the lesnar / reigns match good at the start, but went downhill quickly. As soon as the ref was out, it was the "same shit, different night".




Blah. Lackluster finish too. Don't think you need to spam finishers or anything, but you can definitely build the finish better than THAT.

[James Steele]

Everyone gushes over Reigns work, but it is very tired at this point. Shitty CGI Roman going supersayan, Horseteeth, Acknowledge Me, Superman Punch, Spear, "...only 4 men have held the WWE Title longer...", every once in awhile throw in some Uso interference.

[Gerard]

Christ, Vince taking that stunner was like a zombie from the walking dead taking one. He nearly gets knocked on his ass by a kick he knows is coming, then stumbles around for a moment or 2 only to totally fail at taking the stunner.

[Jordan]

It was so funny seeing how it cracked Austin up though. Funny as hell.

[XL]

I didn’t catch it when I was first “watching” but have since watched it back and I cracked up. My 3 and a half year old was like “Why are you laughing, daddy?” :lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if Vince got an earful from Vince when he walked through the curtain.

[Fignuts]

Vince missing his cue and being scared and afraid of Theory's music was hilarious as well.

[James Steele]

The Austin/Owens and the Vince/McAfee/Theory/Austin segments were just completely bizarre and felt like an out of body experience.

[Lock Jaw]

Despite my better judgement starting to watch Day 2 now.... be prepared to suffer a parade of Lock Jaw posts....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice thing about replays I can skip America the Beautiful....

[Lock Jaw]

And Mark Whalberg video... (who I admit for a split second thought was Christian when his face first showed up yesterday)

[Lock Jaw]

STUPENDOUS

[Lock Jaw]

Triple H coming out first.... what is this a RAW circa some years ago?

[drave]

Sure feels like it by the end.

[xrodmuc316]

Ha didnt realize that was Vince's first Wrestlemania victory ever!

[drave]

double-post?

[Lock Jaw]

Lol at RK-Bro AR graphics.... and mixed theme

[Lock Jaw]

Lol at Alpha Academy theme starting with shushing the audience...

[Lock Jaw]

Otis looking great... very unique look

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet double team from Otis and Gable.... seem like a sweet pairing... I can see what Noid likes so much....

[Lock Jaw]

Orton great... low key making history with so many WM appearances...

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty great opener... tons of fun...

[Lock Jaw]

Gable Steveson is ready, willing, and Gable

[Lock Jaw]

Appalling Gable on Gable violence at WM :nono:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Re: Roman/Brock:

I get people’s complaints. They all sound perfectly valid. For me, this is why it worked:

In the context of this whole Brock/Roman story: From the amazing shit-kicking at 2015 to the awkward as shit anticlimax in 2018 — there’s been this feeling of “they want to get it right.” The craziest thing about this was them showing up, having the match feel epic and having the crowd exactly where they are supposed to be (for a change).

If you think about it, this is an amazing example of crowd manipulation.

Brock and Roman are both excellent. Can they do more? Sure. But I do feel this was the sort of match they should have the context of who they are and where they are right now. It’s not an easy spot to be in, headlining these two epic shows.

Had they gone out and grabbed a headlock — look, I get why some people might have loved it. And I also get how a 40 minutes perfect building match could feel like the ultimate capstone of their rivalry. But I feel like this bam, pow, get it done style fits this match, this show, this moment, who these guys are.

I wouldn’t do another one. I don’t know if Brock’s next big, big match should feel like this. I agree with changing it up. If Brock and Roman ever wrestle again? That’s the time and a place for a new story to grow out of it. Roman will be cocky and take his time. Brock should work up to his stuff. But for WrestleMania 38 — these two titans just going in there with a singular goal, each at the top of their game — I’m totally okay with this.

[Lock Jaw]

Always wish Bobby Lashley had a more "menacing" looking face

[Lock Jaw]

Omos so freaking huge....

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Vince Stunner stuff is something that you’d think could completely ruin a moment, but somehow Austin’s reaction made it AMAZING. It seems to have brought so many people joy. It was weirdly humanizing.

I found myself overanalyzing the segment for a bit. I told myself it would have been better had Austin come out and beat up Vince and McAfee won, because McAfee was just so good and Vince doesn’t ever need to win at WrestleMania. But you’re building to that Vince Stunner spot. Just accept that and move forward.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Otis looking great... very unique look

Was not always into Otis. Then I saw him working with Rey Mysterio one week and the guy is so crisp. He makes a very…unique is probably the best word you used.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Chad Gable got to be one of the few people who talked at WrestleMania. Amazing what the dude is finally accomplishing.

[Lock Jaw]

Nice at Lashley winning, but making Omos looking weak in that all it takes is a suplex and two little spears to beat him

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bobby Lashley and Omos is something that really had me worried. Very impressed that they went out there and did what they did. Especially considering Lashley was just hurt. I’d be very interested in a documentary or a book or something into how this guy mentally operates, because it’s like a switch went off and he went from being this dude that sort of felt like a Brock Lesnar facsimile to being a veteran who feels like a dude you can trust to get passable shit out of Omos at WrestleMania. AJ Styles and Finn Balor struggled with that shit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Nice at Lashley winning, but making Omos looking weak in that all it takes is a suplex and two little spears to beat him

Get what you’re saying, but I tricked myself into thinking it made Lashley look great. I’ve got this weird thing with big guys who are so obviously green that I don’t mind it when they lose. I kind of “forgive them” for coasting on their size and not being that good, lol.

[Lock Jaw]

Good that I can skip the same video package they played yesterday....

Damn, forgot about them changing Sami's theme... sucks.... this annoying dance walk went good with his old theme....

[Lock Jaw]

Knoxville looking terrible.... hope this is short...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good that I can skip the same video package they played yesterday....

Damn, forgot about them changing Sami's theme... sucks.... this annoying dance walk went good with his old theme....

They should not have changed Sami’s theme.

[Lock Jaw]

Wtf at party boy... who in the blue hell is this

[Lock Jaw]

Lol at hornswoggle return

[Lock Jaw]

Oh wait that is not hornswoggle... some other Jackass

[Lock Jaw]

Much as I hate/don't care about Jackass that actually turned out a bit entertaining.... Sami's current gimmick is such that he can take this loss too without being too damaged by it...

[Lock Jaw]

Mouse trap looked super weak though... Sami trying to sell that he is trapped and can't get it off but super phony looking...

[Lock Jaw]

Did they change Sasha's theme too or is that a WM or team remix...

[Lock Jaw]

Damn at Liv Morgan Catwoman....

[Lock Jaw]

Graves saying he will have a live sex celebration with Carmella if they win.... didn't know they were acknowledged as together on air....

[Lock Jaw]

Wish James Ellseworth would come out and help Carmella win and try to steal her from Graves...

[Lock Jaw]

This Carmella mask thing is really disturbing looking.... second time seeing it... just weird....

[Lock Jaw]

Fun women's tag.... nice finisher

[Lock Jaw]

Edge/AJ now.... skipping the video package since I saw it yesterday...

[Lock Jaw]

WTF at AJ busted open even before the match

[Lock Jaw]

Brood King Edge is here

Don't mind his new theme

[Lock Jaw]

Wish I could visit the alternate reality where Edge and Christian switched career trajectories....

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like my energy/interest is already gone via too much wrestling..... getting tired even if it is only noon....

[#1-norm-fan]

Imagine if they just put the good stuff from the entire weekend into one nice, neat 3-4 hour show instead of “content, content, content”.

[Sepholio]

lol I just saw somewhere the Austin made his entrance last night at exactly 3 hours and 16 minutes into the show. Nice.

[Lock Jaw]

Good match but was falling asleep a bit... Damien Priest with a better look than I remember.... team with Edge gonna do him good...

Gonna take a break and try to recover some energy before continuing...

[Triple A]

Feel like my energy/interest is already gone via too much wrestling..... getting tired even if it is only noon....

Edge match is also when I started feeling "zapped" of energy... mad boring!!!!!!!!!

[XL]

Guessing Edge’s colour scheme was a tribute to Taker with the black and purple.

[XL]

lol I just saw somewhere the Austin made his entrance last night at exactly 3 hours and 16 minutes into the show. Nice.

When does the count start? KO isn’t even in the ring at 3 hours 16 on the Network.

[Lock Jaw]

Starting up again.... Sheamus and his weirdly dressed stable are here

[Lock Jaw]

Yesterday I confused Sheamus stable with Corbin and Moss and was wondering why "Butch" wasn't out there with Corbin/Moss until I remembered he was with Sheamus/Holland...

[Lock Jaw]

WTF is Butch doing...

[XL]

He’s Arthur from Peaky Blinders essentially. Or Scrappy Doo.

[Lock Jaw]

Well that was just a weird match/segment....

[Lock Jaw]

Don't even remember what is left.... McAfee match and main event.... still seems like too long left in the show for just that... forgetting something probably.....

Taker and his goofy AR graphic here again, this will kill some time...

[Lock Jaw]

Imagine someone dating Undertaker's daughter without knowing it and then going to meet her parents and unexpectedly finding himself one on one with The Undertaker

[Lock Jaw]

McAfee match now.... I know he is supposed to be the face but he seems so annoying that I really just want to see him get his ass kicked....

Only works if Teddy Long is there.

[Lock Jaw]

Austin Theory getting a big rub from Mr. McMahon as his "chosen one".... wonder if it will work out as well as his last chosen one Drew McIntyre.... (fired and then come back years later, jerked around for a bit, and then finally made a main event guy)

[Lock Jaw]

My friend who still watches tells me Theory is real good and that he legit thinks he is "the future"...

[Triple A]

He wasn't anything special in this match but he is really good imo

[Lock Jaw]

McAfee out here looking like a guy I'd really like to see get beat up....

[Lock Jaw]

Theory too small to be "the future"... gonna have to disagree with my friend...

[Lock Jaw]

McAfee or at least his entrance theme super over.... damn.... so conflicted in this match..... Theory obviously the heel and doing a good job where I don't want to see him win.... but McAfee looking too much of a dbag where I don't want to see him win either and to just get his ass kicked .....

[Lock Jaw]

Have to give Pat props on his athleticism.... nice jump up to the top rope superplex....

[Lock Jaw]

Damn.... Theory losing to a commentator not great for his future....

[Lock Jaw]

Vince and his dainty eyebrows spoiling for a fight now...

[Lock Jaw]

Vince's muscles all deflated.... still looks good for his age though....

Damn, bell ringing... Vince wrestling... if Stone Cold can come back so can he I guess....

[Lock Jaw]

Vince with the comeback story of the decade. Doing what a young promising rassler he calls the future couldn't do, and defeating a commentator on the grandest stage of them all.

[XL]

Better than Jerry Lawler could do!

[Lock Jaw]

Vince selling the stunner as good as Linda these days

[Lock Jaw]

Nice at throwing "the future" Austin Theory under the bus to get over an Austin/McMahon spot in 2022....

[Lock Jaw]

Main event time....

[Lock Jaw]

Roman's AR graphic also terrible...

[Lock Jaw]

Amazing to see Roman finally so over....

[Lock Jaw]

Amazing how the first two times these guys fought at WM I couldn't care less... but now it feels legit big time and I'm feeling the energy....

[Lock Jaw]

Uh-oh.... referee down... incoming shenanigans...

[Sepholio]

When does the count start? KO isn’t even in the ring at 3 hours 16 on the Network.

I mean I saw the screencaps of it so I'm assuming it was last night on peacock but I dunno, they may have been bootlegging it because when I went back and looked they were off by a few minutes. I'm assuming the start time of 8 on the dot, and they were out there a few minutes before 11:16 if that's the case.

[Lock Jaw]

7th or 8th time spear is the charm! Right person won...

No idea who you can get to beat Reigns though.... would be good to use it to "make" a new star but they don't really have anyone in the wings to be made....

[Lock Jaw]

I'd have him hold on to the title until next year if they can and have the winner of the rumble beat him at Mania..... no one worthy of that spot right now though....

[XL]

Going off the WWE Network (UK) it was after 3 hours and 20 minutes before KO was making his entrance. I was wondering if they were going from “after the anthem/intro video” or something?

[#1-norm-fan]

I have to say that after watching all of Austin’s stuff from this weekend, Michael Cole praising Austin and Vince drinking together as a beautiful moment just before the stunner we all saw coming was great.

If you’re gonna go all out with the stupidity, the announcer being stupid as shit and falling for it like Vince did kinda works. Especially since Cole is kinda known for blowing Vince.

[Danny Electric]

They should pre empt it and make Steveson a heel and pair him with MVP as his mouthpiece. Could even turn Street Profits heel too and put them altogether.
