Hope everybody is prepared for a lot of laying around in that main event. Both guys are powerhouses that are almost entirely dependent on their opponent to make them look good. Match will probably suck, and Reigns is going to get booed off the planet in that post-mania raw. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him off the show just to avoid it. I never really wanted Bryan in the main event, but Reigns vs Lesnar has always been a bad idea. I'm already sick of Reigns, it at least took 3 or 4 years at the top before I got sick of Cena. But women and kids love him, and that's what moves the merchandise. Why put forth a good product when the lowest common denominator is such a sure thing, it's the Michael Bay plan.
Bryan/Reigns went better than I expected, since Reigns showed that he picked up a few things and new moves from this last feud with Bryan. The suplex and those mounted forearm shots looked brutal in particular. The WM main event looks a lot more grim now that it's locked in as a singles match. Hell, the whole card's outlook looks more grim since it's pretty much Fast Lane remix. I really hope Taker and Sting are in good shape. -Maybe Barret loses clean on Raw and Ambrose gets a new opponent because I don't need to see BNB v Ambrose again. -The Dust brothers match should be better if Dustin isn't "holding back", and Cody is just such a wasted talent. This crowd though, so offputting. So quiet you could hear that one guy get his smartass shots in each time. And zero reaction to Sting, zero reaction to the bat.
Reigns sucks, the crowd is going to crap all over the WM main event. They had a chance to get it right and they blew it.
Bryan v Reigns was much better then I expected. Bad crowd, could've made the match feel more intense. Bryan did carry a lot of that match, but I liked some of the new thing Reigns was doing like the ground and pound. I'm still praying at Wrestlemania that if Reigns wins that Rollins cashes in and takes the belt. Then Reigns and Rollins can feud and maybe even sneak Ambrose in there to lead up to a Triple Threat Shield match at Summerslam
My thoughts exactly, I was pleasantly surprised to see Reigns add some more moves, and his forearm punches looked real at first (to me, at least). If Lesnar leaves WWE, it should be Rollins as the champ, but if Lesnar stays, I don't know what direction they'll go in. Overall it was a decent PPV, I'm still not sure if the Rhodes brothers' match was botched at the end or not. Anyone have any info? It was a casual ending that caught me off guard, and it looked like he kicked out too.
I guess Barrett/Ambrose/Ziggler/Truth 4 way IC Title match at WM. Would rather see Harper instead of Truth but it's still good. If you don't like Roman Reigns after that fantastic match last night you have no soul left.
To his credit he has improved some, but he is still mediocre in most aspects. This is a forced push, they are trying so hard to get him over, and thats pissing me off more than anything at this point. So far they've had Orton, The Rock, Big Show and Daniel Bryan put him over. Then last night they had Bryan and Heyman slobbering over him. They booked him to win the rumble, burying Ambrose,Wyatt,Ziggler and Rusev at the end to make him look stronger. And now it seems Brock Lesnar will put him over. And by proxy they are also using the Undertakers streak and Lesnar's domination of Cena to get Reigns over. I mean jesus christ what else can they do? They demand that we like him come hell or high water. So much push that could have been spread around, instead they are giving every ounce to Reigns.
I don't think its a forced push, I thought he was the top face for several months with Bryan out. Say whatever you want but that Fastlane crowd was still about 60/40 Bryan/Reigns. He showed he's capable of delivering in a big time main event spot and he hung with Bryan. As brutal and physical as that match was, I loved Bryan's promo and I think those were genuine feelings not something he was forced into. Heyman and Reigns' family are like 30+ year old friends Lesnar and Reigns are going to tear each other apart with strikes and suplexes. It's going to set the stage for Rollins walking out as champ

Good for ROH, I wish he'd go to NXT though. Zayn, Owens, Balor, Neville, Joe, Itami Bust out the E Chamber for that title fight
I could buy the Rock but no way should he have beaten Austin, that's HBK & Bret Hart rights. I Lesnar walking out of RAW might be a big deal leading into WM. Better believe it'll be Bryan/Reigns if Lesnar is done
