WWE PRESENTS ROADBLOACK, ONLY 9.99 ON WWE NETWORK OFFICIAL THREAD
 

Will Ambrose beat The Game of Thrones. for the PAPER TITLE???

Come witness the NXT pay per view, which features mainly WWE stars.....

There's too many road themed things on WWE network. Saw a road sign for 2:30pm ET and it was ride along. Stupid network.

Still, fuckton of beer in the fridge so MAY AS WELL stay up for it.

lol, it's like creative where stuck in a highway and thought roadblock seems legit

The other show WWE is running at the same time as this has AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens in an Iron Man match. Jammy fuckers, I want that on Roadblock.

Will have to miss this due to being at work. Will no doubt miss earth shattering events....

Apparently, the official Roadblock T-shirt (lol) has these matches listed on it that they couldn't be arsed doing anything with with the double digit amount of hours of TV they have:

Charlotte vs. Natalya
Jericho vs. Stardust
R-Truth vs. Viktor
Sami Zayn vs. Jack Swagger

Finally the fans get R Truth vs Viktor like they always wanted though.

So is this a 2 hour event or 3? Those random matches add up time.

Wonder whsts covered up

Booty Os

I think Kofi died and is a zombie right now.

Jericho doing a great job of turning the Canadian crowd against him.

Did Kofi land on his head/neck...couldn't tell...but did not see the X sign thrown up and he kept working the match


Good opener IMO

Classic heel Jericho. Love it

Jericho turning on Canada

Glad 2 see Wade Barrett wrestling again (while it lasts)

good job heeling it up

I do love the return of the asshole chant, better than the you suck chant

poor swagger

UNANNOUNCED SWAGGIE TIME

This should be a great match, regardless of Swagger's jobber-ness

Forgot Swagger was still on the roster

Let's take another minute to appreciate the fact that Chris Jericho got Canada to boo him and cheer THE REAL AMERICAN (jobber) JACK SWAGGER. Truly an amazing heel when he's not trying to be your dad's cool friend.

Canada rooting for swagger

Why are the announcers talking about Jerichos entire history? They don't need to explain his history wtf

They can't talk about the Authority segment that happened five minutes ago like they would on Raw. They don't know what to do with themselves.

Jbl sucks

JBL channeling Mike Chioda with the "YOU STILL GOT IT" instead of "DO YOU WANT TO QUIT?"

time to go to tna swagger

You can tell there has been next to no influence from Vince on this broadcast.

Enzo looks even more like roadkill than usual.

What the fuck is a sawft?

What is this, where is this, and is Brock Lesnar's pyro gonna go off

Enzo and Cass' catchphrase. It's just a misspelling of the word "soft."

Enzo and Cass never winning the tag titles

Damn it either give them the belts or call them up to the main roster, but this shit needs to stop one way or the other...

Charlotte may look like a female clone of her daddy, but she didn't get an ounce of his charisma or his sliver tongue...

Enzo and Cass would have gotten the tag titles if American Alpha didn't come along and become the best tag team in existence

Shame about that name though. American Alpha sounds like a brand of workout gear or something.

Itd be funny if Charlotte beat Nattie forvthe NXt title but other way around for Divas title

Dont punch Flair

Matches with Nattie seem to be the only time Charlotte matches don't make me cringe.

Brock vs Bray will either be really, really good or a squash match

I'm watching now

Crowd silent @ Bray Wyatt promo

Damn @ no pyro for Brock Lesnar... made gesture as if there was supposed to be pyro

bray and luke go to jobber city

he was 33 and 0 as high schol senisor 4 time all american 2003 2002 king of the roykn roayl runble youngest wwe champion at the time ain thishi third match he became the ufc heayvyewiegh tchamipons did the beatable streak at wrstrlemania brock lesnar is the perfect body machine the most decorated combat athelte of all theimt his it he BEAS incarnate enjoy

It's just going to be him versing Luke Harper?

Set/lighting looks cool

No apron on the camera side? They couldn't afford the LED apron for this fake PPV and they only make 3 sided aprons now or something

WWE should use this lighting for way more shows. Looks very cool.

I agree... I like when events "black out" the crowd... looks cool... old WWF @ MSG "vibes"

lol Bray Wyatt never got in the ring...

maybe they are re-thinking WM and Dean Ambrose will win the title and get put into HHH-Roman-Dean and they will go back to Brock vs Bray

Sami Zayn's theme doesn't seem good... no 1 will ever reach the "main event" with a theme like that

I would like to see an extended Brock vs. Harper match.

The only thing I like about Byron Saxton, imo, and to an extent JBL, imo, is when JBL "makes fun" of Byron Saxton imho

Would be funny if JBL gave Saxton a clothesline from hell IMO

His theme is awesome! I'll fight you! :rant:

Lol at Trump/McMahon signs

Wonder if that's Vince or Linda

It really is a travesty that Cody hasn't made it farther in the WWE. Even the Stardust gimmick had way more legs than they've let it.

This special kind of makes me wish all ppvs were on a Saturday, ala UFC. It seems to fit.

So bray didnt get pinned? Wtf

:mad:

Let us continue the tradition of house-shows-turned-specials.

Ambrose looks mre more like 3rd member of Deuce and Domino

Lol going after hhhs nose

"IT'S A HUGE BULLSEYE ON THE GAME'S FACE, MICHAEL"

Motherfucker. I 100% fell for it.

His feet weren't under the ropes. Dean added to main event at WM. Bray gets Lesnar.

This ppv or special or whatever did nothing to hype mania. Kind of surprising tbh.

Going to watch a replay later or tomorrow since I was out for the night but was the Special good or bad overall?

I would say good, although it did drag a bit in some parts.

Main event was a good, slow burn old school main event.

What was the point of this special?? Nothing changed

Damn, guess nothing changes at all. I'm not excited for HHH/Roman but I think Brock/Dean will be good.

Now there is unresolved issues between Bray/Brock though and this week Bray/HHH had a 'moment' on RAW. Strange build to the show outside of Taker/Shane.

Yeah, been taking a quick look at some gifs and the WWE title seems like its going to be really good to watch later just for Dean's antics.

That was an awesome match, Dean and Triple H have amazing chemistry.

agreed

Some very good matches, and I wasn't expecting any title changes on what's essentially a glorified house show anyway. Having said that, the build up to Wrestlemania is suddenly a lot shorter and this did nothing but get some storylines back to square one from what I can see.

He's done everything besides being World Champ. What else would you like? He's not remotely world champ material

How about some actually interesting storylines? They teamed him up with the Ascension which could have lead to some amazing stories. Have the three of them rule of the mid-card for a while and then use it to put some big new babyface over. The Cosmic Wasteland vs the Wyatt Family could have been a great feud too if built right. Stardust should be one of the biggest contenders in the midcard. Instead he's reduced to jobber status.

He, like a bunch of others need to go away for a while.

Not really. WWE just need to learn how to write decent storylines for their characters. They could also use a refresher on how to write more than one story at a time too. Oh, and someone should probably remind them that there can be more than one division that gets attention during 5+ hours of television time a week. Not everyone needs to be a world champion or in the world title scene to be interesting, and the other titles don't have to seem like worthless pieces of garbage just to make the world title seem a little more important.

You can only really do so much with Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes before the audience needs a break. There are a few who ate so stale.

They've definitely made some improvements to Shotgun Saturday Night since 1999.

Thought the main event was stellar. Do wish Ambrose had won for the sheer fact that it would've really swerved the whole card.

Problem is they haven't done anything with them to begin with. Sending them away for a while without changing the current way things are done will only result in whoever takes their places floundering out the exact same way.

Hahaha no-one fucks with the authority. Learn to respect authority assholes and your life in wwe would be a lot easier. I mean look at Seth Rollins for example

They'd go away at the same time, come back and feud with each other, and proceed to trade wins against each other via schoolboy roll up on RAW 6 times in 6 weeks and nobody would care again.

I 100% agree that effort needs to be put into the mid card storylines. If they could it in the friggin 80s, they can do it now.

Main event was great. HHH is still so good and will actually feel a bit sad about him losing clean at Mania. Would rather Ambrose did it in a triple threat with Reigns losing the plot.

Lesnar suplexing Harper didn't really do anything for Mania. More interested in Bray/Lesnar now. Ambrose needs a big win, but I don't think he should beat Lesnar....difficult spot now.

I don't watch NXT, but really enjoyed the tag match and thought both teams looked really solid. The big man is so agile for his size, I could see Vince taking a liking to him. Enzo looks ridiculous. The champs remind me of those old school, quality wrestler teams like Furnas/Lafon.

Don't like Sami Zayn and don't understand yet why people love him. His music is goofy (like a Less than Jake song), his look doesn't inspire and they already have quite a few strong workers on the roster. Didn't get into that match and crowd were quieter at the pinfall than they were at his entrance.

Natalya is really good and loved seeing her getting a pop that size. She should definitely be in the mix post Mania.

All in all, nice show, but enough wasn't done to build the matches at Mania. No match received elevated importance or was progressed in any way.

Mania is always a good time, but I don't remember ever feeling this underwhelmed about a card before. Don't want Reigns to win, don't want Ambrose or Lesnar to lose, and don't care about Shane/Taker.

I don't think Zayn has been the same since returning. On Breaking Ground they showed how he was so unsure and self conscious about his shoulder when he was just getting back into the ring. I feel that he is still not going 100% at this point. And also he looks fat.

I can't get over Dean's ring attire. Jeans and a tank. It's so generic and looks so bad in the main event to me. I wish he'd figure something more legit.

Was I imagining a "This is awkward!" chant during the Zayn/stardust match? If true, I agree.

Jorts?

I wish he'd of kept his Shield costume

Honestly I'd like to see Ambrose get some long tights. Always liked that look. Maybe make them look a bit like leather so they kinda match the jacket he always wears to the ring.

Got around to watching a replay and :lol: at the New Day stuff to start off the show.

Probably not a wise move by the crowd to chant "asshole" after Jericho called the city the anus of Canada. :wtf: at having Swagger being the choice for Jericho's payback after that promo.

Divas title match was a lot better than the one at Fastlane.

Harper-Lesnar was good for what it was but Bray ended up being the biggest loser from that match. Another incident of him talking a lot but then nothing meaningful to back it up.

WWE title match was great. Could probably have done without the false finish spot since its been way overused with Ambrose.

Show itself was good but agree with others saying it barely did anything for Mania's build.

That NXT tag title match was superb.
