Bryan seems sort of blown up to me, which isn't surprising, but...

Well, if anyone ever wanted Drew Gulak to interact with Daniel Bryan, here's your chance.

You have to figure Bryan's been looking forward to work with Dash. The people on the hard cam knew who Kurt was for sure.

That was a pretty good use of Viktor.

They can't be so confident in Bryan yet that they'd let him go the whole time. He probably lobbied to go first to get to interact with as many guys as possible.

I love that Cole had no idea what to even call the green belt. "This.. award." They should just call it the "25 Million Dollars a Year" belt.

I'm curious if Reigns goes back to normal wrestling for the Joe match or if he stays in this super video game power up mode.

Actually, Brock was still laying on the cage when Reigns rolled off. Reigns hit the floor first. That's not even close. If hanging on the cage means you haven't hit the floor, why would laying on it be any different? They can't even get their fuck finishes right. EDIT: Oh wait, I guess they can.

Maybe if you're sleeping on an empty row of chairs and dreaming about Trish vs Mickie.

1000% is a pretty high number.

I think they've pretaped this and they have it on rewind by accident.

Ok then. So that's how they're doing this. 4 Germans and a F5 to start. The match has nowhere to go. We're at the point in the feud where we've reached "World's stupidest 1998 AJPW escalation" level.

The "Brocktagon" thing is pretty bad too.

I half figure they want to do a real match at Mania next year and will keep them apart until then.

I'm heading home in 74 mins or so, so I was hoping that the Universal would end it since I'm more interested in the Rumble. Ah well.

They have to be pretty happy with Rusev there.

It's kind of fun to watch a WWE show that's so pre-modern.

This feels like the best Taker match in years and it's all Rusev stooging and stalling.

Isn't Steve Blackman the best pure striker in the history of WWE?

If I'm WWE, and IF I changed the finish to Mania to save Reigns' win for tonight, then maybe I'm starting to get a little worried.

It really is a nice casket though.

This really is a 1993 house show. Maybe Khali will come out in the Giant Gonazales bodysuit.

Trips comes off like a genius for going on first.

This one feels a little bit better due to the heel/face distinction and some extra selling?

WWE drops pretty much every opportunity but not adding Harper to the Orton vs Bray match at Mania was bad.
