Its only been a few weeks in but Pat McAfee has felt like a way better fit for Cole in the booth than Corey Graves ever was.

Something about how they've mesh together and their interactions feel way more genuine or like two close pals chatting than how Cole & Graves was most of the time. Like maybe the best pairing in the main roster booth since JBL's first run with Cole.

Agreed. He’s been pretty good.

Pat McAfee is a breath of fresh air. He's also rejuvenated Cole to an extent.

Universal title match was amazing. Reigns has been on a roll with bangers of PPV matches this year. Helps a lot he had Bryan and Cesaro to work with to produce those gems.

Also legit surprised at the lack of any shenanigans that went down during it.

Guess Cesaro is going on a nice vacation soon although bit weird to end the show with Rollins beating the shit out of Cesaro since it took away the spotlight from the magnificent match and win Reigns had.

Wonder who Reigns & Lashley feuds with next for their belts since neither has any real credible or string challengers at the moment now that Drew & Cesaro's chases are likely over.

Mania Backlash was very enjoyable overall. Only real weak point was the Lumberjack match and the finish to the SD Women's title match. Everything else ranged from good to great.

I think Roman is going to end up with Jimmy Uso next, though not likely in the Cell.

Lashley beating Braun, and Drew being the one that these Lashley through the set, I think him and Drew end up in Hell in the Cell.

They will probably go triple threat with Bianca, Bayley, and Sasha for the other HITC match that night if I had to guess.

Yeah Drew vs. Lashley does make sense based on the ending of their match tonight since that's been WWE's lazy way of extending feuds for PPVs via multi-man matches.

Hell in a Cell should be the feud ender since they've been feuding a lot this year but WWE probably going to extend it beyond its freshness date like they did last year with the Orton vs. Drew feud for the title.

The zombies was hilarious. Obviously completely stupid but in the best way. I have no criticism of it, it was funny. What would be special would be if The Miz slowly starts turning as weeks go on, turning sick and losing his temper with Morrison until Hell in a Cell where they book a one on one match and Miz turns full fast moving Zombie on that night. Instant classic.

Also yeah Sheamus/Ricochet, and WWE/Universal championship matches were fantastic. The tag match was pretty good too minus the commentary. I didn't see all of Bailey/Bianca but what I saw was good. I can't stand Charlotte so I zoned out during that match because she absolutely sucks.

It was one of the dumbest things I've seen done in a wrestling ring. I wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it if they did it as shtick, but they actually played it dead serious. Like if there was a legit zombie apocalypse going on. Only these particular mindless zombies are very mindful of the rules.

And then the show just goes on as if two of their superstars weren't just eaten. Miz and Morisson don't even get a 10 bell salute. What happened to the zombies? Did Bruce Campbell kill them all off screen?

Ah. The old Vince Russo “People are talking” take.

You could actually make a coherent product and tell stories that people wanna pay money to see the culmination of... but nah. Let’s go for remarkably bad.

I’m sure that’s what they were going for. That doesn’t really make it better though.

There’s a reason average sports teams don’t just tank every game just to make sure they’re so bad that people talk about it.

The zombies stuff was both a bit funny and very stupid at the same time.

If the zombies were more of a recurring gag during the show, it would have fit better and not be something that popped up out of the blue and was completely forgotten as a thing afterwards.

Even the ending to the whole zombies thing was a bit dumb since it was just a fade to black screen and everything went right back to normal as if it never happened.

Its also a bit of a bad sign for Damian Priest that WWE needed to go the wacky route in order to liven up his feud with the Miz & Morrison since his matches against them have been somewhat dull outside of the one with Bad Bunny involved.

LOL what? Sports teams do this shit all the time. The Philadelphia 76ers intentionally tanked for almost a decade before finally making another run in the last couple years. And why do they do it? For an inevitable payoff down the line, #1 draft picks in the 76ers case, a potential high profile Batista match for WWE in this case (not to mention whatever they were paid for the spot).

Come on man. WWE isn't trying to make people take zombies seriously here. It's a stupid one off promotional spot with the sole goal of placating one of their guys by hyping his other project. There are a whole lot more people talking about Batistas new movie now than there was before. Working as intended.

Is it what I wanna see from wrestling? No, not really. Did it do what WWE wanted it to do? Absolutely.

What WWE wanted to do was fucking stupid. That’s the point.

They want you to buy into feuds on a serious level on the same exact show that they’re having two rivals stop and team up in the middle of a match to fight off zombie lumberjacks before one of them is apparently eaten alive. You don’t try to get people seriously invested in shit but also sometimes zombies. Pick a fucking lane.

And on a side note, I don’t know shit about basketball but I highly doubt a team literally tanked for almost a decade. If they did though, my point was it wasn’t just to get people talking. Which your original post made it sound like you were equating with success.

The best thing to happen would be that Miz week after week starts showing signs of illness and eventually decay before going full zombie and finishing his career as a zombie wrestler. He doesn't want brains he wants TITLES.

I can see it. I’m pretty sure Vince is in the middle of giving up trying to become Walt Disney and instead trying to become Ed Wood.

They did to it and called it "The Process". Now a player is called "The Process".

I need more info on this but I don’t wanna derail the thread with it. We need to take this to the sports forum.
