Wyatt's booking is what killed them. Booking of the Wyatt's is perhaps the worst thing next to giving Reigns every single opportunity. AJ To Raw would be fun with the Club and Finn. I hear Enzo/Cass to SD. I think that's a smart decision, they could be a top team there and win the title.

I would agree if Roman wasn't so incredibly bland. His moveset is absolutely cringe-worthy. The superman punch might be the most nauseating move in the industry right now. The spear is the most over used, skill-less move. Then what else does he truly have? He's incredibly slow, bland, and boring, yet gets every single opportunity thrown his way. I dont think this is the good kind of heat, this is the heat that people legitimately want him off their TV. He's just not entertaining.

I'll agree that Brock vs. Goldberg did basically the best you could expect for them... but that's not saying much. Very good for 5 minutes of time, worthy of WM title match? No.

I'm cool with putting over the new guy. Totally digging that. I don't agree that he deserved main event if it was going to be that much of a dud. The fans were out of it completely. I will say it was the wrong person to put over. Having Reigns beat him to a pulp was just wrongggggggggggg. It's hard to believe that the booking team can't learn after the repeated examples that the fans do not want to see this... last year WM, Royal Rumble, etc. etc.

No problem with a proper send off to the legend that is Undertaker... problem consists with the booking, the match, the opponent, undertakers age related to the fact that he is main eventing wrestlemania 32.

What are the bookers/Vince thinking with main events like these? Berg vs. Lesnar Taker vs. Reigns These two were the two main main events and both consistend of a moveset that was limited to 4 moves or so. Spear, German Suplex, F5, Jackhammer for berg vs. Lesnar Spear, Superman Punch, Tombstone, Chokeslam for Taker vs. Reigns. Seriously?? Then Wyatt vs. Orton had nothing going for it. It frustrates the hell out of me!!!!

This mania was great up until around the 2 hour mark. It's amazing to me that a show could go from Great/Good to Mehh (HHH vs. Rollins, some good some bad) to absolute awful (all 3 main events, SD womens match). I was ready to come on here and talk about how great of a mania this was after 2 hours. Hardy boyz coming in was AWESOME, Styles match was great, cruiserweight match was great, KO match was good. Raw Womens was pretty good but a bit anti-climatic. Then we hit absolute s*** show, like, I knew this s*** would be bad, but taker vs. Reigns was awful, made my stomach hurt. Lesnar vs. Goldberg was decent, but as expected a 5 minute predictable finish = blows. Orton vs. Wyatt was horrible. SD women's title match was utterly useless.

Would love if the Hardy's were added to the ladder match... it seems odd that they'd make it a ladder match without them... but at the same time, you'd think they would advertise the hardyz for the $$$ if they were going to be in the match...

Meh. The match itself is probably going to be fire, but i can't get behind anything cruiser-weights until they make me care with their booking. I'll say Neville vs. Aries is a step in the right direction. I think this match is on the pre-show tho... so, that is unfortunate.

Haha. I've learned from this thread that I need to treat it like it is now... booking will never get significantly better. Now, onto the topic of this years Wrestlemania... I'll be watching for sure. With that being said, I have 0 confidence that this event will be any level of good. It will be a fun 4-5-6 (?) hours of entertainment on a Sunday night. Opinions on some things: Berg vs. Brock --> hideous. Ugly. You can't convince me that the actual fans want to see this s***. I am convinced that its WWE sound manipulation. Goldberg has done nothing, yet is the champion of the world. Brock is mr. do-nothing, show up, have Heyman talk, and put on a 2* match. This match will be horrible. The build has been OK, but it's all useless. It's disturbing that this is what we get as the main event, if I was a WWE superstar, I'd be upset about this. Although, AJ Styles did mention that thy bring popularity to the product, and thus, his name, which is good... so be it. HHH vs. Rollins --> COOL! Fine wrestlemania match. Rollins gets a rub from a legend that can still go on the mic and in the ring. Should be an enjoyable match and the build has been good (although, convoluted as this has been building on and off for a year now). Jericho vs. KO --> Greatness! Most anticipated match of the night for me. Build has been pretty damn awesome, the story is great, the match should be good. Styles vs. Shane --> Any match with Styles is worth anticipating, but how do you put the best in the world with Shane is beside me. They couldn't find a way to get Nakumara vs. Styles? Meh. OK. I'll watch with hopes that this match is decent/good. Raw Womens 4-way --> They've done everything they could to kill any motivation for Raw Women's matches. I'm still a huge mark for Bayley and Banks and Charlotte so I will watch this happily, but not as happy as I would have been with good building and avoiding nia jax. It's nice that it is elimination, I wonder who the last two will be? Bayley vs. Banks? SD Women's 6 pack?? --> Useless. They've killed this division going into WM. Can't say I care at all. Raw LAdder Tag Title 3-way --> Yes! Ladder match! Kinda a weird way to make this match a ladder match at the last second, but I'm all in! Love ladder matches (who doesn't)? Weird competitors for the ladder match, can't really see anyone winning other than Enzo and Cass now. Should be a really fun match from a s*** division. Undertaker vs. Reigns --> Taker needs to retire. Reigns is an asshat. f*** the booking, f*** this match, I don't even know who I want to win. Cena/bella vs Miz/Maryse --> Meh. Good build, but would have been better just straight up Cena vs. Miz. Ambrose vs. corbin --> OK. Ill watch, but not expecting too much.

Im massively excited for the raw womens championship match at wrestlemania, with that being said, the booking has been doing just about everything it could to try to make me NOT excited for it. First, giving Bayley the championship way too early. second, booking her like shes a heel (cheating to win) third, exposing her wayyyy too much on the mic, simply un-needed. fourth, any inclusion of nia jax into the mix. fifth, the loss of charlottes PPV streak, prematurely sixth, hopefully sasha does NOT turn heel this early. uneeded. Sigh.

Once again an awfully booked event (seems this happens every single PPV event). Big problems: 1) Charlottes streak comes to an end. a) why have her lose in this situation when she is the heel? It makes Bayley and Banks look absolutely like the heel instead of the babyfaces. I kind of understand where they are heading storyline wise, but if they wanted to do this so bad, have the referee DQ bayley so charlottes streak survives, but the title remains on bayley. It makes no sense to have the ref let the match continue only for bayley to win with the pin. Like, da f***?? SMH b) The match was kind of a let down itself. 2) Strowman's lose to super Reigns Don't really understand why they have strowman take a clean loss like this. If Reigns is heading to WM vs taker this would have been a perfect opportunity to have Taker mess with Reigns and cause him the match so he still remains strong, strow remains super strong, and taker/reigns is set up. Instead, strowman loses clean to reigns in another super reigns moment shoved down our throats. Not the worst booking of the night, but definitely a head scratcher. 3) Kevin owens vs. 'Berg The worst booking of the night by far. I love the Jericho angle, that's cool and all. But to let an old, part-timer who can't go more than 3 minutes in the ring win the universal title like that is just a shame. Brutally buries every member of the raw roster instantly. Now we are set up for one of the worst mania main events since... well... Roman vs hhh. I think the Bayley vs. Charlotte was the most easily fixable booking of the night. Just simply DQ bayley, same result, just keep the streak alive a bit longer and have a much better payoff. Kevin owens vs. 'Berg, I understand based on the direction they are going, but man, this one just hurts the most. Reigns, f*** Reigns.

Styles/Nakumara would save this WM for me. Give me that and then KO vs. Jericho (*please* be for the title) and a nice Bayley match and I will begrudgingly accept it. Not expecting it tho.

I just saw a report on Rotoworld saying that the Bulls are requiring Crowder in Butler talks and the Celtics don't want to budge. I must say, IF this is true, the Bulls are absolute morons here. There's so many other pieces that would be a better fit for them. Crowder is amazing, but he is a role player. Get the picks lolol. Seriously, smh. Bulls organization is hilariously bad, but np people will still sell out the UC!

Still incredibly upset with the Bayley win. Good recap here: http://rajah.com/node/54913

I'm just so frustrated with this. Like, I should be happy that my favourite wrestler just won the title, and I'm happy for Bayley. But this just provides another nail in the coffin that is WWE credibility. The women's title has flip flopped, almost predictably, way too often. Charlotte winning on PPV, Charlotte losing on Raw. It makes the title look incredibly weak, makes the competitors look weak as a division, and negates the build up/story. I mean, it should be so simple just to have a quality storyline play out between these phenomenal women, culminating in the babyface winning the first world title on the grandest stage of them all, showcasing to the world that the underdog can do it and properly taking her place. Instead, we get some random ass title match on Raw (why are they having this match even? Bayley lost at the RR) and Bayley goes over while most of her fan demographic is still sleeping . It just really upsets me that they seriously don't give a f*** about their credibility, storyline logic, or any of that. The match itself was great, almost a throwback to classic matches with Flair and Randy Savage/Hogan. Ah well.. why do I even bother at this point?

I'm so frustrated. First, the good is Jericho vs. KO. I thought it was highly interesting having HHH discuss something with Owens and then Owens attitude towards Jericho completely changed. The turn on him was the first moment in a while where WWE had my stomache un-easy as it was just a brutal turn from Jericho going all out to let KO know how much he means to him to KO destroying Jericho with the list of KO. But WTF is Bailey doing winning her first f***ing championship on f***ING RAW. SERIOUSLY? Bailey was not built up for this, this literally meant nothing. They could of had a dynamic story going into 'Mania where in front of tens of thousands of live fans she gets a huge ovation and wins championship #1. I am one of the biggest Bailey fans right now, she is the reason I tune in on mondays. This just upsets me. Its similiar to what their doing with Alexa Bliss on Smackdown, WTF is the point in her reigns. Ah... I can't even... It's f***ing mental. I will agree that the match was good tho.

The odds favorites won almost every bet (only thing they got wrong was Nikki Bella, but that is hardly a mistake since it was a countout and so low odds). That means= BAD wwe booking. http://rajah.com/node/54863

Damn, not looking good. This injury seems to be very much legit and potentially a long-lasting problem (keep him out of Mania). Just sad. Rollins was one of those guys I was coming around on.

Ok, so I enjoyed Raw last night. We get the Gold vs. Lesnar expected match at WM. Hopefully non-title. We got continuation of Reigns vs. Strow (likely a fastlane matchup). We got continuation of Bayley vs. Charlotte (bayley pinning Charlotte). We had, what I thought, was an excellent promo by HHH vs. Rollins. An amazing surprise in Samoa Joe destroying Rollins. My question is: Da f*** does this mean? Rollins vs. Joe at Fastlane? Is Joe officially on Raw (and thus, not SD) ? IF so, why the f*** does SD keep missing out on these hot free agents. That's simply unfair, and who the hell is Styles/Cena etc. going to feud with on WM? Who will Joe face at WM? Etc. Lots of questions. Hopefully there is a good plan. I'm willing to let it go for a few weeks and see what the outcome is of everything. Generally speaking, outside of the Royal Rumble match (horrid), I have been very entertained with the products.

I'm with Rowand on this one. The match (royal rumble) was unbelievably awful. I'm not quite sure how they managed to screw it up. There was 0 suprises (no finn, no samoa joe, no of the other legends), instead we get people like Enzo / Zavier woods (why was he in the rumble? I thought he was not supposed to be based on Raw), Roman Reigns (f*** Roman reigns, he should NOT have been in the Rumble, ESPECIALLY at number 30. Everyone was waiting on a suprise and out comes this douchebag), and other jobbers. The most "star studded" rumble became a rumble of jobbers with no real chance of winning. Braun was the only bright spot in the rumble match. Jericho was nice too, but why have Jericho last an hour and do nothing the entire match? Undertaker clearly can't go anymore. I hope he reitres at 'Mania. I DID like the Lesnar elimination by Goldberg, felt that it adds to their storyline well, but still, anytime you have the 3 old guys coming out as the last 5 combatants, it's kind of bulls***. Like, at least be somewhat unpredictable... give the old part timers the last few spots is just lame and not suprising. Reigns eliminating Taker means they will likely face off at WM. I was so happy when Braun destroyed Reigns in Reigns vs. KO match as I Thought it meant Reigns vs. Strowman at 'mania, NOPE. They should have just let Kevin Owens go over clean if they weren't setting up Roman vs. Strow at Mania. The rest of the card was thrilling, excellent, the royal rumble match absolutely ruined it tho. With a good rumble it would have been a 9+/10, but this Rumble was one of the worst putting the show at a max 6/10.

f*** YOU ROMAN REIGNS

If Mysterio comes back ill s*** myself! Angle, I don't think so based on his health/reports. I think finn Balor is a go.
