Weird for Batista to lose. Even weirder how they'll follow up if Trips loses.

Maybe Trips has just decided to hang it up for good and focus on backstage stuff?

Does this WM even have an official theme song yet?

Is the musical act really gonna be a redundant Elias segment?

WM feels like a Saudi Supershow with Women right now

You could watch a reality show, soap opera, or one of those one star 80's matches you love so much, but being the most negative person on this board with little positive to say about today's wrestling(including NXT) maybe you shouldn't be watching the current product?

Ronda is so cringey on the mic. It's really really bad.

Congrats to Charlotte and Becky for the WM main event. Great accomplishment for those two women who put in the time and work to get to where they are and doing what they do best.

Oh Gawd, enough with the Ronda bashing. Part of her "charm" is that she's not polished at the bs. And she's right - without her, this wouldn't be happening.

That last match between Ambrose and McIntyre was so rushed, lol. Why did they stop with the overrun on RAW?

1) I'm pretty sure you have me confused with somebody else since I don't fit that description at all

2) I hate these kind of takes. First because so many people confuse negativity with honest assessments and I
hate cry babies that complain about what another consumer of a product says. I don't go around insulting people
that like or don't like the WWE product. If 2 people buy an Apple phone and one guy doesn't like some of it's features
or is having problems with it he has the right to vent about it and the guy who is completely happy with it should
STFU and mind his own business if he just wants to troll and not talk about it objectively.

As for me I don't think I've ever said a bad word about NXT and I openly praise Smackdown and how I enjoy it. The
fact that RAW has had record low ratings had the McMahons publicly apologize for it sucking and vowing change backs
up any claims about how bad the show has been the last couple of years.

Without Ronda the women don't sniff the main event. You may not like it but it's the flat out truth.

ETA: she's been tremendous since the turn. Weird that they've figured it out with her pretty early but still won't turn Reigns.

bestnamezRtaken · Post #271 » by **bestnamezRtaken** » Tue Mar 26, 2019 4:42 pm

I disagree.

The women's division has plenty of talent that is light years ahead of Ronda. And if given proper time to build, could see it for sure. Ronda doesn't really do any one thing really well in the ring or outside of it.

She wasn't ready for this type of spot light.

With everyone else, it's obvious they're playing characters -as great as Charlotte is - she's got a costume and permasmile and a slow delivery to fit her character. As good as "The Man" is, she's obviously playing the rebel character that's pandering to the crowd. They're both clearly polished up WWE stars - which is fine. But what's great about Ronda's character is that it doesn't appear to be a character. She looks like a real-life mad as bleep person who happens to be a legit bad-ass - and it helps that she has the background to back it up. Regardless, it's electric - that was palbable at the beginning of the show last night - you couldn't miss that unless you tried not to see it. She super-charged the energy in the arena - even before she said a word. That's a rare talent. Obviously her backround has a lot to do with everything about her, but that is what it is - and that's why you couldn't have just plugged in someone you think is better. And she's getting cross-over media attention. That's important for a Wretlemania main event. What other women on the roster can do that?

The difference is your talking about the talent that actually should have earned a main event and deserved it. That's different than reality. We all know Becky, Asuka, Charlotte, Sasha and others have earned the right to main event WM and would do it justice. The fact is that this has been the case for a couple of years and they didn't get it. But Rhonda's profile added enough for VInce to do it. She's not the only reason, but she's part of it and without her it hadn't happened. Same goes the other way, Rhonda wouldn't get it if the division wasn't as strong as it is.

Since i'm pretty much part time following this, what is the deal with this Batista Trips feud? I caught Batista's promo where he kept yelling "Give me what I want" and it was supposed to be clear what he wanted but it didn't come off as though we all knew and he just kept yelling. It wasn't a great promo.

Very cool. Even if you don't agree with Charlotte's addition creatively, you have to admit that she deserves to be the one main eventing Wrestlemania. Imagine how pissed she would be if it happened without her.

Post #276 » by **bondom34** » Tue Apr 2, 2019 1:11 am

Charlotte is the best heel man or woman in the company IMO.

Post #277 » by **bondom34** » Tue Apr 2, 2019 2:07 am

That was the dumbest and best thing ever. Literally keystone cops and I don't care it was funny as anything.

tugs · Post #278 » by **tugs** » Tue Apr 2, 2019 3:17 am

Soooo no rematch for Asuka?

Post #279 » by **studcrackers** » Tue Apr 2, 2019 4:37 am

i cant believe someone thought it was a good idea for the end segment of the mania before raw is some generic ass match between corbin and rey mysterio

tugs · Post #280 » by **tugs** » Tue Apr 2, 2019 5:20 am

Man I was hoping for a last match between Rey and Angle or some ****. Any Angle match. Or Corbin gets taken out by an unknown assailant would've been better and creates an intrigue come WM.
