Good riddance. Just my opinion.

People were into heel Batista back in 2010. I like that. That was his finest work, but his feud with Cena was boring. The ratings with Miz impressed me as well.

Payback*

This has been one bizarre show thus far...jury's still out for my interest on the product post-Raw.

This... Was... The... BEST... WRESTLEMANIA... EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! SO AMAZING! MUCH BEAUTIFUL! VERY SPECTACLE! NOT TERRIBLE! THIS WAS ALL THAT WRESTLEMANIA IS ABOUT! CONGRATULATIONS TO WWE FOR GIVING ME ONE HELL OF A SURPRISE, I NEEDED A LAUGH! I'll be watching Raw tomorrow for the sheer atmosphere...but oh well, what a show this Mania was. Of course I'm being ironic. This was a three-match show, and none of them was the Main Event. Of WrestleMania. I have been defending Reigns for the whole time, but the payoff was booked horribly...Stephanie being Speared was a brief light to the darkness that was this Main Event. I really thought they could do something good following the greatness that was Lesnar-Reigns last year. But WWE always surprises me the bad way...they were able to make one of the best heels in the game, Triple H, be booked to look like an idiot in a match where he should have masterfully dictated the up tempo against Reigns before it became an equally matched bout en route to the Reigns win. But the best coup was Wyatt's complete and total burial. It's great how they brought John Cena back JUST FOR THIS. I, for one, will never take him or any other member of the Family seriously, at least as much as I did two years ago, ever again. They would rather have a short term nostalgia moment than actually build up someone who could be a huge star for 10 years or so...Ambrose looked horrible in defeat as he did not fight back from a single F-5, Styles was denied a WrestleMania win to establish him, Undertaker won to keep the WWE in status quo, and the League of Nations won just to be shafted immediately after the match, rendering their victory useless. I'm optimistic, of course, so let's look at the pros that actually made this a 6/10 for me...Kalisto retaining was the right call, Ryder's zebra was unexpected and made for a great WrestleMania moment (Even though I'm just thinking that they will immediately job him out as so many Intercontinental Champions have done before), Charlotte's win will go out as legendary if they play their cards right in what was probably the MOTN, and Corbin's win was also unexpected and probably the best route to go sans Mark Henry or a lower midcarder like Tyler Breeze (who didn't have a chance) winning. The Ladder Match, Styles vs. Jericho IV and the Divas Match were all great matches...the ONLY great matches on the show. Ambrose/Lesnar was going the right way, but they shafted its duration to give The Rock a 20 minute promo and 6 second squash, followed by a 5 minute burial of the Wyatt Family along with his best friend, John Cena. As I said, this is a 6/10 because of the workrate, it won't go down as a bad Mania (the Main Event will probably go down as one of the worst, though), but as a bizarre and horribly booked Mania, it will, that's for sure. WWE had 7 hours. And boy, did they use their 7 hours HORRIBLY. I can't believe that I actually stood still watching the entire show...it's nearly 2 AM here in Brazil and I still have to take a shower to look presentable to the girl later, but I actually did watch this for the whole 7 hours, thinking that SOMETHING, that SOMEONE was going to be the saving grace...I should have called it a day when Corbin won, as it was already being a bumpy ride when he did, but it would have been a pleasant ending to my night. But oh well. I got to go, so later on we can all discuss how amazing this Mania was. Good night to you all.

This Mania has been solid, workrate-wise, but it has been the funniest and most bizarre in history in recent memory thanks to the horrid booking...I really want to watch this while drunk some day.

For whoever's on Windows 10 and on the Network, download its App. It doesn't crash at all in there. I'll give my general opinion on the show later on.

Official Prediction Card World War 3 Featuring such names as: “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman, Cactus Jack, California Kip, Diamond Dallas Page, “Latino Heat” Eddy Guerrero, Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), Jeff Jarrett, Johnny B. Badd, “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko, “The Total Package” Lex Luger, Lord Steven Regal, Owen Hart, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, “The Outsider” Scott Hall and Syxx, Steve Austin, The Kings' Monsters (The Giant and Vader), either “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes or “The Dragon” Ricky Steamboat, as well as an Unknown WCW Legend, Unknown Mexican Legend, and Unknown Japanese Legend! Who will win World War 3? Steve Austin. Who will be Runner Up? Ric Flair. Who are the other two in the Final Four? Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. Who Is the Unknown WCW Legend? Terry Funk. *note: legend is NOT Sting. Comments: Besides Pillman, Austin is pretty much the only man who needs the win that I can actually see winning here. AA makes it to the final four to prove he's a bonafide WW3 competitor, but he doesn't win. Savage and company are all scared by the real Sting or something like that, because I can't find another reason for an early exit by them WCW World Heavyweight Championship – No Disqualification “Sting” w/The Sting Army vs. Meng Will we see the Real Sting? Yes, from the rafters. Will the KoW Sting be revealed? Not a chance in hell, but one of the members of the Sting Army will be. Comments: I would guess that the real Sting will give the KoW a pretty big crap on their pants here and stop their fun. Really nice consolation prize for Meng, even though he doesn't stand a chance. Winner Enters World War 3 Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat vs. “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes Comments: This should be amazing, but the result should not be a surprise, since Dustin just lost the belt. Special Referee: Lex Luger Scott Steiner vs. “The Dog-Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner Comments: I have no idea on what awaits us in here. What I want, though, is the delusional Scott heel turn. WCW World Tag Team Championships The Kings' Monsters w/Woman vs. The Road Warriors Comments: While I could totally see the Warriors taking the win here, I'd rather have their big moment be at, say, Starrcade, and give The Giant more overness in here. The Ladykillers w/Rick Rude vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. and ??? Who is Rey's mystery partner? Chavo Guerrero (Jr., not Classic). Comments: I suggested that you could turn Chavo a few days ago, so it makes sense, at least for me... Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Big Bubba Rogers w/Col. Robert Parker Comments: Bigelow has kind of been lost in the shuffle as someone above pointed out, so he needs this win dearly. Will any matches end via no contest? Scott Steiner vs. Rick Steiner. Tiebreaker: How long will Steamboat vs. Rhodes last? 18 minutes. (Closest to the right time without going over wins)

There are also The Vaudevillains swimming around and doing absolutely nothing.

I challenge you to not mention Reigns in a post of yours here.

Exactly...but they haven't.

Playing to his strengths, Reigns connects with the audience really well. When he took out Triple H and Vince McMahon last year, the crowds were eating it up, because he was being himself: A bad ass, ass kicking guy who doesn't give a damn about the consequences of his actions. However, given a microphone and horrible material that one would think that not even The Rock could work with (And The Rock can work with a lot of horrible stuff, because well...he is The Rock and his bad but funny comedy is a part of his character, pretty much), like Jack and the Beanstalk stories and s-sssss-sss-sufferin' succotash (son) and tater tots and crap of this kind, it's obvious that he will not get over...but Vince refuses to see that, and that is the problem. He wants a second John Cena, not a first Roman Reigns. It's not Reigns' fault. He has proven that he's improved really well in ring, given the right opponent (Hell, he had a great Last Man Standing Match with BIG SHOW last year...I love Big Show and even I have to admit, it's tough to carry him to a good match these days) and he has also improved in the mic skill department, but obviously when he's allowed to say what's really on his mind and not ''donkey dong for brains'', and also, when it's not the traditional 30 minute opening promo for a show these days. Reigns is just this silent character, pretty much, and he should only say what is really necessary. I would say that the best characters are really the ones that the workers are able to mix with their own personalities or strengths, and they should allow Reigns to do that more often than they do currently.

Who in the world is Marco Rubio?

2K15? That really wasn't a game, but still...

Good lord, I would normally want to hit you for calling Cody a jobber... ...But I can't, because his situation is so bad, I'm agreeing with the declaration...

*Clears throat* Aces n' Eights *Ahem* Damn, was Lana at her finest tonight. Did she get some implants or what? I mean, DAMN MATE!

Now this is a deserving HOF'er. He should have been inducted before Koko.

Tate is definitely the most deserving champion in the UFC today. She lives and breathes MMA, and this was a long time coming. I really hope she holds on to that belt for a long, long time. As for Conor vs. Diaz, why wasn't it for the title? I'm not really an UFC follower, so I have no idea why at all.
