Ryback just remembered he left his lunch in the microwave.
#FeedingTime?
He took CM Punk's corner knees, now he took his walking out on the company.
Heh. You win the Unicorn Horn Of The Night.

Didn't the Zambonie thing happen two weeks before that year's WM? The problem with replicating that so early is that well, how do you
escalate past that with six weeks before WM?
Still could do with Ambrose coming back but Ambrose outbrawling Lesnar should be a saved for a few weeks more.
I almost predicted how that would go. Been a while since a WM had a MOTYC(yeah Bryan vs HHH was good but not that good) Ambrose vs Lesnar could
definently rectify that.
Whatever the fuck is going on with the McMahons is just something you have to sit and enjoy. It's the classic Russo-style booking that they
haven't done in a while. With ridiculous stunts and curveballs thrown one after the other. Who knows how'll it conclude but let's
enjoy the great moments it's already provided. It'll atleast be better than HHH bomb his FOURTH WM Main Event.

I wonder how Sting feels being inducted into the HoF alongside The Godfather?? It was characters & storylines like that that kept Sting out of WWE for
so many years.

What the fuck? Shane?
Well, at least I'm interested now. I always liked Shane, should be entertaining.
If the WWE is out to pull fans back in who've checked out this might work for them.
Aww fuck, here comes Roman....

It doesn't seemed like he's getting shit on, but Roman/Sheamus is a recipe for apathy.

Well, unless they pull something out of their ass in the next 20-25 minutes this show has been a solId C-. And that's taking into consideration
the insane return of Shane McMahon, which made me mark the hell out. But the rest of the show has just been a steady decline marked by a rematch that
nobody asked for with The Wyatts vs. Midcard Monsters, a heel turn by Ryback that nobody gives a shit about, and a main event involving Sheamus and
Roman Reigns...
I'm intrigued by Shane vs. Taker. Lesnar vs. Ambrose is my de facto main event for Mania. But my worries about the rest of the card and
it's ACTUAL main event still haven't been alleviated. Not yet, at least.

Hey cool. WWE desperately trying to get Roman Reigns over and HHH puts himself over instead.
At least we know *someone* is getting cheered at Mania.

Yes chants to getting pedigreed on the steps, followed by one more time chants. This is awesome chants when Roman starts to bleed. This is gonna be
fun.

Kind of amazing how many things they've done to try and get Roman Reigns over as a face for the past few months and they go out there and let
the opposite guy do the thing that a face would do. Now they're not just booking against the crowd, they're booking against themselves.

edit to add: It's not like there isn't a precedent for this type of behavior on Triple H's part either... Just replace "Cena" with
"Roman". (video starts at the relevant time)

Detroit killed the superman punch, Roman should retire it.
TV Production is not helping storylines. Those on floor mics should have been killed once "one more time" started up. They showed they were on a
delay earlier, use it and pump in apathy if needed. Lazy director, lazy planning.
I thought blood was a no-no on raw & Smackdown.

Double turn? And if so...doesn't Triple H STAYING champ until Rollins come back make sense? If that can be done by SummerSlam, the Ambrose push
could be at title match levels. And run or lose against Lesnar, that match seems to be the start of Dean getting a Roman level push.

I gotta say, I was feeling pretty solid about my Goldberg/Lesnar Trainwreck prediction for the WM32 title match, because the only way out of a
complete and total Shitting Upon Both Guys was if there were enough fans who could find it in their heart to cheer for Triple H.
Much to my surprise, at least for one night, there are more than enough fans willing to find it in their heart to cheer for Triple H.
I don't really know if I want WWE to run with that, but I'll eat some crow and cool the jets on my talk of WM Main Event Walk Outs and
such. That was one intense-ass closing segment.
And Shane is back. Suhweet. I've been looking for every excuse to put him back on TV since 6 months ago, when he got promoted beyond having any
real hands-on duties over in China, and could be stateside full-time again, as a figurehead. And even with looking for every excuse to mention it, I
did NOT see that one coming.
And if I had seen it coming, I never would have come up with Shane vs. Taker in a Cell as the payoff to his comeback.
There was a LOT of filler (replays of the opening segment) and jeezus that 6-man rematch seemed to last forever.... but still, a really fun night of
sitting in front of the TV watching wrestling.
Now, I have to figure out how to squeeze in Better Call Saul, another episode of E&C;'s show, AND not skip out on the Recap, all before
bed....

To be fair, the crowd also called for one more time after Lesnar F5'd Ambrose.

I
can't say "this is the only thing that makes sense", because right now NOTHING seems to make sense... But this is definitely a possible
'out' for them. Doesn't HHH love "Heel Champ/Face Chase"? Heel Roman telling us to go fuck ourself collectively while Plucky
Upstart Architect Rollins tries to get back the belt yadda yadda

Meh, that end segment didn't do a ton for me. While it was nice and brutal, it was also Triple H beating the crap out of someone and coming out
on top for the 5,000th time (and no amount of crazy fights and beatdowns is going to get me excited for Triple H/Reigns). And I will totally admit
that Triple H was way over during the segment, but I just don't know how much that will continue over the next 41 days and into WrestleMania
(especially when the Mania crowd is probably going to get burnt out on Taker/Shane and Lesnar/Ambrose). I really think this is going to be Triple
H/Jericho and Triple H/Orton all over again, where the wrong match is the main event.
And it wouldn't shock me if this was the WWE's way of writing Roman off of TV for a few weeks so that he's not around to get booed
unmercifully all the way to WrestleMania.

Well, they've got stops in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly, AND Brooklyn leading into Wrestlemania. That's a heck of a lot of smark
strongholds to be visiting while building towards such a precarious main event. And that's not even taking the actual Wrestlemania and R.A.W.
crowds into consideration.
It'd be a bold move on their part to keep him protected in such a way but it's not outside the realm of possibility. I think we can say
for certain Philly isn't going to be quite as receptive towards Ol' Wet head as they were after TLC.
I know this is supposed to get us fired up for that plucky underdog who just can't get a fair shake, but...well, I'm going to enjoy
the build to this match in the most perverse manner possible.

West Coast watching. Welcome back, Shane-O. Others have said this, but this seemingly gives them a Plan A / Plan B for Undertaker at WM anchored in
Cena's status. He's not good enough to come back? Keep on truckin' with Shane. He is? Easy to make a switch. A hit and run
"accident" for Shane (Rikishi?) as Vince attempts to soften him up or force him to not be able to compete. Something something. Shane gets Vince
to allow him to find a sub to keep the match alive and enter Cena. Hopefully it would be done better than that, but gist is....there's a way
(or ways) to get Cena into that match.
Not saying I want that, mind you. Just that there's a path.
EDIT so no ~DOUBLES POSTZ
WTF was up with those 3 tiny* dudes yelling stop and waving their arms while Brock took out Dean in the parking area? Probability of successfully
stopping him: 0% Probability of this turning bad and having BROCK destroy you? > 0%
WTF - a Hillary commercial? This is what I get for watching Raw from the start with no "catch up to live by fast forwarding through commercials"
option. Never again.
