WTF is this Int. Title nonsense?  I want a Zayn vs Owens match, with ladders, where Owens actually either loses normally or wins clean.   They got scrubs in that match now.

I really want a Styles vs Owens feud, those matches have been great, but I guess we have to finish Jericho's run, not that that match won't be decent.

The rest, I don't know.  I want the Brock vs Dean match to be good but I worry they'll do something dumb like have the Wyatt's come out.   I have little faith honestly.

You want to know what it is?

Talent gets PPV bonuses and the biggest check is obviously Wrestlemania.

So because of that they end up having this 5 on 5 divas match no one cares about (although right now it is 4 on 5 so maybe another call up).  You get a crap 7 way Intercontinental championship match, and you get an Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

So I guess on one hand it is good because they are getting talent on the show of shows, but it sucks because the matches are convoluted and hard to get really excited for.

I wanted Owens vs Zayn 1 on 1 too.  I would have been okay (yet dissapointed) with a fatal 4 way with Miz and Ziggy added.  But instead we get this 7 man poo sandwich.

And AJ and Jericho will be fine.  But it is their 4th big match in 2 months.  It is diluted.  Although I love heel Jericho because he isnt trying to be the cool heel, or the comedy heel, he is going for straight nuclear heat like heels did in the old days.  Tearing up a "get well Brett" sign while in Canada?  Savage.

I wasn't holding my breath for a one on one match with Owens v Zayn, but I really was hoping for the Four Way match with Ziggler and Miz as the consolation prize. The ladder match will still be very good, I'm sure, but it just doesn't make any sense to add these other jamokes. The paycheck thing is definitely the reason, but that's why you have the battle royal. Not this title.

Speaking of matches that will probably be good but make no sense: Kalisto vs Ryback for the US title. Boy, I can't wait to see these two lock up after weeks of seething animosity and tremendous build for such an important title. Hard to believe we are only one year removed from Rusev entering Mania on a fuging TANK and Cena's open challenges.

My biggest issue is how they're handling Reigns and Triple H. One week, Triple H comes down the ramp in a leather jacket and taped fists and beats the holy hell out of Reigns, (kayfabe) breaks his nose, and gives him the crotch chop. Cool. Great way to end RAW.

Trips also has a great little mini-feud with Ambrose that led to, in my opinion, the best match of the year so far at Roadblock (followed by Owens/Ambrose at the Rumble).

So now that Reigns is back and Triple H is the babyface in front of almost every crowd because he is a badass, they have a choice. They can either get creative with the writing or take the easy way out. Lo and behold, they book Triple H to look weak. This past week, Reigns threatened Stephanie and ambushed Triple H and his wife as they left the arena. What did the Game, The Cerebral Assassin, The King of Kings do? Took a beating and then got one lick in before scurrying away with his wife. Triple H is not a cowardly heel in this way. It's such a cheap way to get heat on the Authority (that along with them talking trash to the crowd about how they're all failures every fuging week).

We remember seeing Triple H pedigree Cactus Jack on a bed of thumbtacks, take Undertaker to the limit in two Wrestlemanias in a row, and endure the Walls of Jericho with a legitimately torn quad. Now you're telling me he runs away like a mouse when Reigns, the man whose ass he kicked very recently, challenges him to a brawl backstage? Please.

The match itself was always going to happen no matter what, but they could've at least built the damn thing well. All of this nonsense they're doing now is too little too late. I really just don't care about this match now; it can only be saved by a return from someone like, oh, let's say Seth Rollins. Hopefully Shane/Taker is the main event.

BTW kinda off topic but I think Asuka's entrance music is freaking awesome.  

 

[Kramerica]

Asuka doesn't need to cut promos to get over with the crowd because she's such a badass in the ring. This, however, is pretty fantastic.

Teeray, good luck containing your excitement for another week.

Yep.  NXT Dallas is going to be awesome,

Who is excited for Wrestlemania!!!!

WWE scrapping the term Diva's and bringing out a new Women's Championship belt?!?!?

Yes please! 

http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2016/3/30/11332966/report-wwe-scrapping-divas-womens-championship-returns-after-wrestlemania

It's been high on fans' - and several wrestlers' - wish lists for a while, and according to reports from PWInsiderand SEScoops, it's happening.

According to those sites' sources, WWE will do away with the branding of women's wrestling as "Divas", effective next Monday night, April 4, on Raw in Dallas.

Whoever leaves the Triple Threat between Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32 with the title somewhat infamously referred to as the "butterfly belt" will be the last to carry it, as the company has commissioned a new strap - the WWE Women's Championship - which reportedly will mimic the look of the WWE World Heavyweight title, just smaller and with a white leather base.

As much as I like NXT, Elias Sampson is the dumbest thing I have seen since man mountain Rock.

Corey Graves with the line of the night tonight after he serenaded Crews

"With a voice like that, no wonder he's homeless"

Him and Crews is definitely the bathroom break match of the NXT Dallas card

Hey, guys! It's me, yeah. Zod made it so that Brooklyn Bully has an account here but is unable to reply to posts or create posts. I read the forum the entire season. And what a season it was! Wow. Anyway, finally got around to trying this. We'll see how nice Zod wants to be,

 

Anyway, I was at RAW on Monday. Front row. It. Was. Awesome. They even let us keep our chairs. They're padded with WWE images on them. Nice. The crowd was insane the whole night, but sadly, their best stuff was during the commercial breaks! "Fix the table" was the loudest chant. The wave went around 10+ times and even the wrestlers (main event) did it. Both Miz, and Owens got on the mic during the breaks and made fun of Cole. Good times.

Brooklyn crowds are always pretty great.

Sounds like it was a loooong show because they also taped Smackdown and Main Event

Fans stayed having a good time although seems they were struggling a bit by the time Emma v Paige and the 6 man IC tag team match came around.

Also, Brooklyn hates Roman Reigns
