I don't like it. I can't find hidden gems or really any of the old shows without using the Search Engine. It was also nice to have all the WCW, WWE, and ECW PPV's in one place, but now it just has WWE PPV's and you have to search for the rest.
-
I know people are sick of Brock, but this is so much better than Rollins and Corbin. I actually really enjoyed this PPV overall.
-
Hopefully that's the end of Dolph Ziggler.

This show has been fantastic so far. I've liked everything except Nese/Gulak which was all on Nese. Triple threat tag was terrific. Even Tucker looked improved from last month. Otis is gonna be a big star and glad New Day won. I hope Daniel goes back to the top of the card.

LAshley/Braun was a blast. Awesome clash of the titans and just nonstop fun. Probably the best match of Lashley's career. He had a great performance in it as did Braun. Maybe Braun's best as well.
-
I read somewhere (Meltz maybe?) that the full changes for the Heyman and Bischoff duo wouldn't occur until after the Extreme Rules ppv so I think you are right. Bischoff just moved to Stamford like a week ago.
-
Yeah that's what I thought about KENTA. He's not the KENTA of 2004 in athleticism, but he's still a mean bastard that is stiff as all hell and will hit you very very hard. I thought that match was worked as it should've been.
-
Crowd looked pretty empty. The lighting certainly didn't help since it was really bright and you could see huge patches of empty seats.
-
I guess I'm in the minority, but I loved KENTA/Ibushi and thought that was the clear MOTN. Felt very intense throughout and I thought KENTA looked great. I thought Ospreay/Archer started out really good then just got too much overkill and started dragging for me. They ditched the big vs little dynamic by the end, and Ospreay and Archer were doing 50/50 spots with Ospreay lifting him up and doing power spots. Archer felt like he was working less like a big man during the second half of the match.

I'm gonna use the time to watch Crockett Cup 86.

This is an okay enough Attitude era brawl, but I hate Mankind running in. Him just randomly coming out and bumping for Austin/Taker severely undercuts the punishment he took in the cell match and it added nothing to the match. They could've had Taker come out and do the ending without sending Foley out. since in storyline he hates Kane as much as Mankind and would swing a chair at him. It still sets up Summerslam and Foley was not needed in the match at all. Luckily no one seems to remember Foley actually making a run in after two of the grossest bumps in wrestling history and getting a standing ovation for his performance.
-
I love this match warts and all. I guess it's my Hogan/Andre cause I remember just watching it as a kid and being gobsmacked by Foley's performance. Yes, it's not a great match and a lot of bad habits came from it, but it's an excellent caper to the two year feud between these two and Foley has one of the all time great performances. The two big Cell bumps, the tack bumps, and just him pushing through it all to keep going just sums up why he had that folk hero status at that point. Taker looked like a killer and I loved Terry Funk here as well. Ross and Lawler were probably the best they've ever been here as well. Just the whole match is unforgettable and I recommend anyone seeing it just once even if they end up not liking it. **** 1/4

This early lineup for Stomping Grounds looks like the opposite card of what people want.
-
Yes. But, nothing else. Maybe Andrade/Balor.
-
Yeah I mostly see people getting on Goldberg for the match, but he spiked Goldberg for that tombstone. Neither guy should be wrestling.
-
I can't even believe they tried the Jackhammer. After Taker couldn't get up for the powerslam reversal in the Taker/Roman match a few years ago, it's pretty clear Taker can't take those types of moves anymore. It was clear though that Goldberg was beyond gassed and maybe had a concussion from headbutting the door during his entrance/running into the ring post and bleeding hardway. That match was an entertaining trainwreck at least unlike most of these other old man matches.
-
It felt longer than the 25:45 it lasted.
-
I have but they are still on trying to do that punching on the ropes spot
-
This is somehow more dull than I was expecting. Both these guys look so old.
-
Seriously, my god. I think Percy kind of sounded decent when he got a chance to talk but Mauro never let him. Poor Beth can't get a word in without getting cut off. Mauro is his own color commentator.
-
Another thing in addition to the commentary is the camera zooming during strike exchanges and brawling that has been a constant for a while, but has gotten really bad around 2017 when The Shield reunited. I know a few casuals that complain about how it hurts their eyes.
-
He's been heeling for the last few months on the preshow as well as the watch along and it's terrible. Usually it's against the women or weirdly minorities. Like he's ranted against Kofi, Ali, and Andrade in recent shows for like no reason. I don't know if they are trying to make it an underlying thing to his character or what.

yeah stunning grover choosing 31 over 32/33 as a bad Mania is a weird choice. Those two shows were brutal. I really liked this show btw. It didn't feel as long to me as the last 3 Manias and I thought Kofi/Bryan and Miz/Shane were great. Main event was very good, although not as great as I was hoping. I didn't even hate Batista/HHH since Batista bumped his ass off and they did some crazy things. Andre Battle Royal and the four way men's tag were a lot of fun as well.
-
My first thought was that Cena and Taker have the big 25 minute WM epic that they didn't have last year. I hope that doesn't happen.
