Not Lesnar/Punk, which is one of my faves of all time, but still really good. No sandbagging!

That calf-crusher sequence was nuts!!

Brock seems to take a lot of headshots in these matches

Give it more than four minutes, my man!

Almost has to be a cool down match in between, I think. That’s what the ten minute promo is for!!

And the dumb scoreboard (though that could play into a ‘big’ angle)

Why would Lesnar/Goldberg close the show last year but Lesnar/Styles not this year? Goldberg > Styles? HHH in the tag? Big time angle in the tag (Jordan involvement wouldn’t count)?

Three matches in less than two hours?? You can do it!!!

The recap for this match got me even more hyped. Leaned a bit too into The New Day never turning on each other :/

That’s the impression I was left with as he parted from Shane

Can’t wait to find out what Baron Corbin has to say for himself! Why did the lone wolf join the rest of the roster in the attack??

Chair Shot: The Match

First time I've seen someone cite Mania 15 as storytelling to which someone should aspire

'Some call him the reincarnation of Jim Thorpe. We call him a friend.' is legit hilarious, not just grading on a wrestling curve. The way the table shatters on Patterson's chokeslam is so good. The monitors weren't even removed!

Nothing better than a nice 'ball bat'

*emjoi that scratches its chin*

Was gonna ask the same. Details, please.

Umm, iamthedoctor is the best source in the biz.

Yeah, I mentioned commercials coming to matches at some point

The time is coming soon where they will have a commercial break during a ppv match, yes (not just the pre-show)?

Would love to see more original programming that was wrestling-focused, like Monday Night War, Rivalries and Wrestlemania Rewind. Realize that's too much to expect; we're probably like 2.5 years (!!) since new episodes of any of those. But it would be nice.

That promo was dope Which one? Heyman has cut about 493 "My client retired the Undertaker" promos, all of which are pretty much the same. I think Lesnar has rubbed off on Heyman (eww that sounded wrong). What I mean to say is that I think Paul Heyman has adopted Brock's attitude towards putting in an effort. Like: "Why work hard when I can get the crowd to chant along with me just by saying my name and Lesnar's name? Who needs to cut an original sounding promo?" Listening to Heyman now, it's hard to believe he's the same guy who cut some of those blistering promos during the Invasion angle. Night after WM 30, baby

That promo was dope

Maron's podcast with (separate) interviews of Chavo and Kong went up yesterday

Solid promo from Carmella. And I don't know if it's new or they've been doing it for a bit, but good on them for finally getting rid of that brutal and awkward silence at the beginning of her entrance song, right after f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s. is spelled.
