They keep calling HHH/Roman the main event. Guess they are going last over Shane/Taker

fantastic post Loss! pretty sure Punk said that as well

Apparently Vince's promo on Monday was hacked up before the show. Now Steph and Hunter "might" quit if Shane wins and we will "probably" never see Vince again. This of course after Shane had said he would fire the Authority for sure and Vince would lose all control. Maybe something changed or this is the angle that just keeps on giving

Yeah he was cheered live but in post they added boos

Rumors gong around boos were piped in for Reigns on Smackdown

Last years's was pretty terrible as well. Tug of war to end the go home show

Bryan had already been pulled from this weekend's house shows but now has also been pulled from all weekend Mania Axxess events.. The word is he simply asked for the time off but man things seem to be getting interesting now..

I still like New Day but they are nowhere near as good as they were. If you don't like them I think it's going to get worse because Meltz has been hinting they have something big planned for them post mania. They are getting so much airtime now because their merch is selling very well. They have 3 of the top 10 selling items

Now the stip is Taker will never be able to wrestle at mania again if he loses to Shane. I can't think of a more better (worse?) example of booking yourself into a corner than this match. Either result is going to be painfully depressing. The crowd wants so bad for the Authority to be gone and it's an ultimate dick punch to tease them with something fresh and then pull back

I kind of agree with Jingus's first point about Bret. I wasn't that big of a fan growing up and I think he nailed it with Bret just being rather mechanical and robotic in the ring. It was tough for me to truly support him like I did other top faces. I liked him well enough him but I preferred Shawn much more. I appreciate him now more than I ever did growing up and I totally agree that post retirement Bret is absolutely incredible!

Bobby Roode and Eric Young both gave their notice and are finishing up with the company tonight. Can't see WWE having any interest in Young given his age and look. Maybe Roode.

WWE has announced that the pre show for Mania will air on the USA Network and will feature the Andre the Giant Memorial battle royal

Meltz has said numerous times lately that the company legit sees this as elevating Ambrose. I mean he's not going to over Brock but the goal is to get Dean more over. They see him as the new Foley

they will probably pull a WM 18 and make sure Steph is out there with Hunter (if she's not involved with anything big earlier) thinking that people will not cheer Hunter if she's involved. I still don't think it will work. And obviously putting it on after Shane/Taker is going to be a catastrophe

Ambrose was getting incredible reactions in summer 2014 but they cooled off his program with Rollins because they wanted Reigns to be the guy to finally beat Seth. Then Reigns got hurt and Ambrose was moved to Wyatt without ever beating Rollins

Apparently Vince was "throwing a fit" backstage due to the crowd reactions last night. Of course him and Steph both mentioned their tepid reactions in their promos. Company just seems clueless at this point

Btw, the female fan spazzing out in the front row in reaction to Roman being near her was fantastic

I really don't know how they are going to book the end to Shane/Taker without it being a complete disaster either way.

I was thinking the same thing. Makes sense so I doubt it

Reigns being booed out of the building

Or he jobs clean

Can they seiously be pushing .Ziggler or just set up for Reigns?

I kinda see his point. A fan last week asked him if Lana got implants and Dave gave that response with an implication that she had got them. With questions like that I see why he would be a bit annoyed but yeah he doesn't have to acknowledge them

at the very least the Cell match is going to be full of bells and whistles. Vince and Steph are givens at ringside, most likely Foley, Kane?, MSP? Austin? Hopefully they have a creative ending that can pay this muddled mess off without pissing anyone off. Meaning protect Taker and somehow get rid of the Authority
