April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913645 21 minutes ago, Matt D said: Re: Sami/Bryan One way to make these matches work is by hitting really hard (and they did here too), but the most important way, I think is to have the wrestlers really, really, really care about what's happening. If they're that invested, then it won't matter if there's a crowd or not. Sure the crowd would help and they'd give a bunch more heat for Sami playing chickenshit, but at the end of the day, it was Bryan that was reacting. And he was reacting so well that he didn't need them. Sami was drawing heat FROM Bryan and it drove the match. If there needed to be a more elaborate finishing stretch like @Jmare007 said, it should have been more smoke and mirrors with Bryan taking out the guys on the outside and maybe Sami getting a cheapshot in on Gulak, etc. I liked that it was just a one hit KO on Bryan. It felt more cheap that way. They never would have booked this Mania if everything had gone right if they had, it probably would have been one of the best in years. Great fucking point.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913646 If they can say shit and bitch, then surely Owens can bleed a little off a bell shot. Come on.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913647 No Kevin, it's fine, leave as is. No need too...oh fuck, more of this.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913648 I was reading Harry Potter 3 to my kid so I missed the last 20 mins or so. I am totally okay with this.

April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913650 "How's this for a WrestleMania moment, huh?" Stupid and contrived, thanks!
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913651 I will give Owens credit for keeping continuity with the KO Mania IV shirt.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913652 I liked the KO-Seth match more than most, despite having zero expectations (or maybe because of that).
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913653 Something tells me this match wouldn't have been as good if we didn't hear Rollins and Owens talking shit to each other. Not sure I need to deal with Rollins selling that bump with that weird grunting noise though. The stuff before the no DQ match was decent but nothing special. The NO DQ match part I really liked
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913654 That promo for Total Bellas makes me question why Bryan was working with a pregnant wife and a young kid at home.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913655 That was better than I expected. I like both guys, but I'm sick of seeing them fight, so I'm glad they wrapped up their feud. Owen took a sick bump of the sign.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913656 If you take away the spectacle that it is in an empty arena and the whole Gronk bullshit and you you act like Corbin vs Elias didn't exist, this has been a great show
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913659 Not doing the Goldberg entrance with 1 security guard who stays 10 feet away from him is a huge missed opportunity.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913660 Just now, C.S. said: 35 minutes left for Braun vs. Goldberg? Yikes! I would be stunned if this went 3.5 minutes Styles vs Taker is going to be a goofy spectacle that easily takes up 25 minutes
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913662 Goldberg having a Wrestlemania match in 2020 at the WWE training facility would blow the mind of 1998 me.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913663 That was like watching two 6 year olds spam buttons on WCW vs NWO Revenge
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913664 Goldberg playing to the non-existent crowd was funny. Did they mention Roman at all on commentary in this match?
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913665 Like a bunch of 12 year olds playing a video game using an "unlock infinite finishers" code. @sek69 got there first.

April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913667 > 37 is for the new LA football stadium, right? Yes, it is. I don't know why I didn't just look it up.
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913668 Yeah nobody will compare that to brock vs Goldberg from a couple years ago. But it was fine. Hopefully Reigns wins the title immediately The plan is for it to be at the new LA football stadium but I wonder if it is still in construction. If so then depending on how long the virus is that will be interesting
April 5, 20205 yr comment_5913669 I hope Taker shows up to a graveyard on a bike while Limp Bizkit plays
