TUE coming in to take on The Elite would be a mega angle even if I'm not into Cole.

They'd literally be better off having Japanese-style young boys in black trunks working trios on TV every week

I'm sort of fascinated by the political manoeuvring in WWE between the HHH/Shawn/NXT camp and Heyman's crew. Courtiers trying to catch the ear of the mad king.

I'd love for someone like him to get out of there just because it would be so fascinating to see what they can do outside of the overproduced world of WWE television. It's been a revelation for Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley and Cody Rhodes. WWE is like a safety blanket and a glass ceiling at the same time.

Reigns can happily tell Vince to fuck off if he wants to, get some good press for doing so then call up Tony Khan, Gedo or The Rock depending on what he wants to do next in his life. Even if Vince is privately pissed, I don't think he'll do much about it. They're throwing buckets of money at people he doesn't even give a fuck about like The Revival just because they don't want anyone to jump.

To me, all those matches were fun 3.5 star affairs. Which is good but not top end. I know there's talk of him attracting heat but if they had sense, they'd get Riddle up to the main roster and push him hard. Keith Lee as well. I guess this Drew experiment should be given time to play out considering he can't exactly hit the ground running right now. He might end up getting a long title reign by default if they can't keep taping shows.

Adam Cole? Christ almighty. Tbf, he was stuck to Corbin and Shane for the last year and then in the everlasting feud with Lesnar both of which lend themselves to the shortcuts or the spam. And up until Reigns pulled out of Mania, they'd clearly been planning on running with him as the champion going through a good portion of this year. I do think his work has fallen off from the relative highs of 2015-16 or so. Obviously his cancer diagnosis put him out for months and there was the ring rust element upon his return but when is the last time he's been in a truly great match? Summerslam 2017?

He also has the adderall test failure back in 2016 the one time they were actually following through with the big push

Is Cena not dead though?

Otis absolutely could not be much more than a gatekeeper face. His presentation is veering on Eugene levels of not good. He's absolutely the sort of act that would have me running to change the channel if a non-fan saw him on my TV.

Ring of Honor have finally started to make use of their archives and their Youtube channel has lots of cool older stuff on there now including three match compilations for Danielson, Steen, Punk, Joe and Generico. And today they put up the original Dragon Gate trios match.

People really love those Undertaker matches though. And his Bryan match. In spite of all his transgressions, that's more high end shit than Orton has ever had.

Genuine question: Is Randy Orton the worst Wrestlemania performer of all time for anyone who has been consistently pushed?

He didn't. Paul may be on the outs but he's still a worker.

This was not a good show

Should've done a no contest bollocks finish when they both fell off the perch or some bullshit

In a weird way, that Cena squash was the worst thing that ever happened to him even though it revitalised his career.

I know The Fiend stans probably think that should be on display in an art gallery or something but that was a load of old shite

Brock-Roman main eventing means Roman has to win, right?

WTF

I think he's into bodybuilding... Though apparently Heyman is a big fan too. Seems like a mid-00s developmental throwback.

And they're not exactly the tightest editors

The fact that the ending was so self-serious pushed it over the top

Might genuinely have been the worst match I've ever seen. The ACTING at the end put it over the top.

It's never going to end. Hope it's a draw.
