WWE tweeted out that we get to witness Lesnar/Reigns again, but in a steel cage coming up at the big show in Saudi Arabia. Hopefully this time Roman can overcome a dozen F-5s and take home the fruit roll up title.

That line was hilarious. It was such a burn that the crowd had to chant holy **** because they couldnt believe it. It was so harsh. The "impact" guys said it was good for them for recognition and it wasnt a diss but in context it was clearly meant to be a ****y prize for Kevin and Sami for not getting a contract in WWE.

I saw Wrestlemania in person, and thought it was a great show much of the time, but was tainted by the lame-*** final match. The audience was so bored with stupid Reigns and the never ending effort by WWE to stick him in the main event, seemingly against Lesnar every year. And as mentioned earlier, the fact that folks were there from 4 pm until after 11 (self included, in a seat with no leg room and guys leaning on me the whole time, with people screaming all around me) didn't help things. Even a great match would have been hard to fully appreciate at that point. Audience was cheering, "Let's go Nicholos," and "Beachball Mania" while praying for the match to end. Reigns kicking out of all those F5's was also stupid as hell. I hate him. I hope Samoa Joe kicks his head in, but know that won't happen.

Asuka/Flair was the best match of the night. HHH/Steph vs. Angle/Rousey was way, way, way better than it had any right to be. AJ vs. Nakamura was disappointing. Good, but not what it could have been. I loved the heel turn, though. My buddy and I were yelling for him to hit AJ in the crotch beforehand. Undertaker was nice to see, even with an abbreviated match. I saw him wrestle HBK in Houston, then lose to Lesnar a few years back, and possibly saw his last match here. . .

I took some pics of the big joker head which I thought were well done. I'll try to post some of them from my phone at some point.

I knew she’d be the new GM.

I wasn’t in attendance at WrestleMania but I echo this post almost 100%.

I temporarily turned the television off during SmackDown and missed Peyton Royce’s debut.

Smackdown was surprising but Raw was better

 

[karamazov80]

Here are some wm pics. I loved how each entrance was customized. Unfortunately I don't have cable so I have to wait until tomorrow to watch SmackDown on Hulu. I just caught up on what happened on Raw. Curious about what happens with Owens and Zayn. It would be pretty funny if they temporarily moved both of them back to NXT.

I would like the shakeup to be the majority of wrestlers that never switched brands since the split

Some choices

Bayley , Balor, Bryan, Absolution, Reigns, Rollins, Stroman, Sasha, Hardy’s , Gallo’s, Anderson , Axel , Sheamus and. Cesaro, Elias to SDL

Nakamura, Breezdango, Benjamin, Gable, Roode, Corbin, Dillinger , Riot, Logan,Morgan , to Raw

Those that have already switched that I don’t mind switching back

My choices

Lynch, Charolette , Natalya, New Day, Styles, Cena, Orton, Owens, Zayn to Raw

Jordan, Ambrose, Kane, Goldust, Bliss, James, Rusev, Miz, Dallas to SDL

The Andre documentary was pretty good. Wish they had more wrestlers to talk about him.

How was the live reaction when Brock won?

I was stunned, as I thought he was leaving?

I read somewhere online that there was a perception that the audience was happy. . .they were, but you have to put it in context. The audience didn't care about Lesnar. They just wanted the damn match to end. And of course, they didn't want Reigns to win, because everyone in the Superdome hated Reigns. So, the two positives were:

1) the stupid match ended, after folks had been sitting there for 7 hours, only to have the show end with a crummy match no one wanted to see or cared about

2) Reigns didn't win

So, it was a bit of a sarcastic cheer, but. . .the audience would have been much, much happier if, say, Stone Cold appeared, stunned them both, the ref just rang the bell as a double DQ, and the show ended.

Not sure if this is the actual plan, but I feel bad for Reigns. Seeing how messed up he got by Lesnar, with the lump on his head and getting busted open, only to lose again, because Vince doesn't want him to get booed when he wins.

Homey has been through enough at this point, I'm okay if he wins the championship.

Every Lesnar match is the same really, I don't understand why he's an attraction anymore. They have Rousey now, hopefully Vince will recognize that and maybe Lesnar will lose some of that luster.
