We have a street fight, a hell in a cell, a ladder match at wrestlemania. Fun.

 

Bit of a clusterf*** for sure, all these multi-people matches being thrown together with little build.

 

Surely will have the Y2J vs. AJ Styles match that hopes to be a bit of a classic.

 

I'm definitely ok with the card (not thrilled, but not terribly upset, outside of the main event title match)

I think the card is the best they could really do with Cena and Seth and Orton and Cesaro all out, it is what it's. I'm not gonna beat a dead horse by pointing out Roman getting boo'd every show or the lack of creativity. I'll just hope the matches are good.

Vince's idea of getting creative was definitely just making everything a gimmick match. Their problem is they have no idea how to build characters or storylines so no one cares about most of these matches. I have no doubt it'll be a fun show but it's still a distant 3rd on what I'm looking forward to going to that weekend and that's kind of sad.

Usos-Dudleys, new day-LoN and Kalisto-Ryback are actually wrestlemania matches. The ME was always going to be what it is but they could have loaded up the under card and they botched that. Not to mention that this Shane-Taker story has just become a joke after the initial fun of Shane's return.

I agree with the recent assements in this thread.

 

There are some sad matches:

 

Usos-Dudleys, new day-LoN and Kalisto-Ryback

 

 

The main event is terrible.

 

But they do have some highlights: Ladder match, HIAC, AJ Styles vs. Jericho.

 

So, I think it's a decent card.

 

They could have done more with the buildup, they really failed on storyline progression.

Even the one with the most thought, Aj Styles vs. Jericho seems a bit stale.

The Usos don't do anything for me. So boring.

 

It's a shame the current generation of fans don't appreciate the Dudleys. Best tag team of all time.

Bubby Ray needs to heel singles run. TNA is awful but one thing they absolutely killed it with was the Bully Ray character. He could be one of the top heels on the roster easily. Wish they'd break them up.

Ambrose vs Brock should be amazing. Pretty damn good build too.

 

Why did they go with the multi man with the IC belt? Why not the US title? Kalisto is a ladder match specialist. IC belt could have been Owens vs Zayn. Does that make too much sense?

3 of these matches will probably be pre show matches. Hopefully the crowd gets there on time but a practically 6 hour show is a lot and to have Roman vs hhh go last, the crowd will be more dead than expected.

This is boring chants during the Ambrose/Stroman match lol

What a terrible ME on raw. How was the beginning of it? Decent show?

Besides Kevin Owens that show was god awful again.

Owens and Styles Had an absolutely fantastic match until a Jericho distraction finish but I understand going that route. Besides that...god awful.

I really can't believe they don't have two better faces than Reigns and Ambrose. I really wish they'd stop forcing Ambrose on us against bigger guys, as nothing he does in the ring is believable.

Owens is easily the best overall thing they have going

First hour was okay. Owens vs AJ was great. Good vignette with Ambrose that's worth watching. Rest of the show was unbelievably bad. They're really botching the Mania build.

Reigns in ME at WM is such a mistake this will blow up on VKM.

He counted on people buying tickets to Mania just because it's Mania, and he was right to do so.

Until people stop attending events and subscribing to the Network, Vince will do what he wants.

TV ratings don't mean as much as they used to, so lower Raw ratings are not enough for him to worry about "the WWE Universe"'s approval.

2.44 rating last night VKM better start caring terrible for Raw this close to WM, the part timers are gone in 2 weeks. Rating will be under 2.00 by end of year If VKM stays on this course.

Guys will start returning soon. Maybe an Angle return afte Mania will be done.

You get the post raw bump. Takeover will probably tip if nxt people are coming up.

Speaking of NXT, Emma is back. Her Evil Emma character has been fantastic so let's see how bad they screw her up this time.

Hopefully she doesn't try and shoplift anything else

Daniel Bryan cancels Daniel Bryan Appreciation Night at MSG just a few days away as well as all future appearances. Meltzer says there's a story behind it so looks like we'll be hearing it soon. Not sure if health or business related.
