February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728650 Nothing like a bit of feuding McMahons to get the company out of a hole. It was an entertaining one-off segment, but Holy Shit. All of the time and energy spent building up the Streak, and now Undertaker has to sell for and possibly lose to Shane fucking McMahon at Wrestlemania. Just wow.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728651 So I firmly believe it will not be Taker vs. Shane at Mania. I really don't believe that. Maybe I'm crazy but just don't see that as the end game. On the other hand, I like Shane in a cell a lot more than Strowman or any similar ideas. The roster is barren of credible opponents. Might as well make a spectacle of it.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728652 I can't stop shaking my head at the screen and chuckling. Totally unreal the things this company thinks are good ideas. Triple H. Vs. Roman Reigns for the top belt. The Undertaker Vs. Shane McMahon; Hell in a Cell as a draw? lol... Can we bring back Linda too!?
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728654 No seriously Vince has lost his mind This is the same guy who thought Tugboat and Hogan would draw 100k in LA. His mind been gone.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728655 I would much prefer Linda. Love Linda. Oh and by the by, that moment when Shane said "generational..." and froze because he had no idea how to finish that sentence and Vince had to rescue him? That would doom a random roster guy to a lifetime of Superstars jobbing if they choked that hard in front of Vince.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728656 I think the big question is whether or not Shane can get down to 205.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728657 I had the TV muted. I thought it was Bill Simmons at first. Shane McMahon turned out to be a big improvement over that first impression.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728658 I would much prefer Linda. Love Linda. Oh and by the by, that moment when Shane said "generational..." and froze because he had no idea how to finish that sentence and Vince had to rescue him? That would doom a random roster guy to a lifetime of Superstars jobbing if they choked that hard in front of Vince. That was pretty funny. I don't even know where he was going with that word.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728659 Seriously is Braun Strowman that awful that Taker vs Shane McMahon would be a better option
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728660 But seriously they can't be teasing getting Steph and .hunter out of power again and not deliver... Again. Right?!?!?!
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728661 Literally all of Taker's worst opponents are other big dudes when WWE gets stuck on Monster vs. Monster. All of his best opponents are little guys that take bumps, except for Brock and that is over now. That doesn't mean I actually like this idea though.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728663 Shane is an awesome surprise and return IMO - totally unexpected - and you know he'll bump his ass off for Taker (if that match actually happens), so it's probably one of the safest options Taker has. Cena is injured, Braun Strowman would not have been good, Taker/Brock vs. Wyatts would have been a foregone conclusion. You can argue - and rightfully so - that they should have built up more stars worthy of Taker. But they didn't. This will be a fun trainwreck (again, if it happens), and Shane returning in any capacity is good news to me.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728664 Yes, I think Shane is a world's better option and will make for a more interesting match than Strowman ever would. But still not sold its going down like that. If it is, Taker has clearly entered the Rasheed Wallace phase of his career.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728665 My guess is Cena is still plan A. If he can return they'll run an angle were he can fight for Shane. If he can't, welp, then Shane is gonna bump like a mad man in that Cell.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728666 Damn that was a fun little match with New Day vs. Lucha Dragons/Neville.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728667 But seriously they can't be teasing getting Steph and .hunter out of power again and not deliver... Again. Right?!?!?! Well, Shane winning and making a bunch of NXT guys debut at the RAW after Mania as his first move as a face authority figure would make sense.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728668 If I had any hope that they'd retire The Authority for good - or at least a few years - I'd be excited at the prospect. But even if Shane wins and we get a babyface GM for a while, it will be a short-term thing at best. The McMahons can't keep themselves off TV.

Well, Shane winning and making a bunch of NXT guys debut at the RAW after Mania as his first move as a face authority figure would make sense. Knowing this company, the NXT guys would be positioned as heels with HHH while babyface Shane leads the old WWE guard.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728671 There's no way Shane is beating Taker...come on now, LOL. But it will be a fun trainwreck (again, if it happens).
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728673 Also, Roman's brother Dean gets killed by a car and he's nonchalantly checking Twitter for updates and casually discussing things with Jojo. Just like any time he's been majorly screwed by the Authority, his response has been much the same - get interviewed in the hallway and calmly have a conversation with Jojo. Roman's soft-spoken, stone-faced character is lame as fuck, is what I'm saying. He never shows any emotion, particularly at times when he should be showing the emotion of EXTREMELY PISSED OFF MOTHERFUCKER. He just calmly talks in a really low voice. Why should I care if he doesn't seem to?
