    Luke and AJ really tore down the house, I'm fine with either guy getting the spot but they both earned it.

    Harper needs to be a main event guy from here on out. He plays his character perfect, he moves like a cruiserweight in the ring and busting out that dragon suplex..OMG! He's also known as one of the most respected and funniest guys in the locker room

    Cena/Miz promo was awesome last night.

    AJ is going to get screwed out of his title shot somehow and that will set up his match with Shane which sucks.

    I think AJ will be in the main event and be the one to walk out of WM as champ, the biggest moment you can dream as an American pro wrestler.

    If they wanted AJ/Shane. Shane would have cost AJ the match inadvertantly and Harper could have made it a Wyatt Family triple threat.

    I just hope Harper gets a great match at WM, I think he's my #2 fave on SD behind AJ. He never got the deserving title run with the IC. I wouldn't mind seeing an IC Ladder Match or something

    They really were making a show of AJ's animosity towards Shane so I think that match still happens. And I don't want it to cuz it's such a waste of AJ's talent and a Wrestlemania match. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Harper go at it again and then whoever wins that match will officially get a title match after Mania. A fatal four way with Wyatt, Orton, AJ, and Luke would work as well at Mania. I just don't understand the lust WWE has for AJ vs Shane

    Are people really this into Goldberg? I can't bring myself to suspend my belief in reality, and how does he get a title match his second match back? Smh with this booking, this can only hurt Owens. What purpose does Goldberg being champion serve exactly?

    That was trash. I like the setup for KO vs Jericho at Mania. But Goldberg with the strap after two moves is justness pitiful. Will have two part times for The RAW championship at Mania

    Goldberg is, and has always been terrible. I have never seen the man put on a good singles match. Less deserving of the championship than the Great Khali.

    Goldberg is awesome.

    He's never lost a singles match on a PPV in WWE history.

    Now Lesnar can snap that streak too. Snapped the Undertaker's streak and he'll finally beat Goldberg at Wrestlemania.

    Great.

    WWE needs these guys like Goldberg, Lesnar, and Cena to put over new talent on ppv's like Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, and Summerslam.

    Also on a side note.

    I really love how much WWE guys do for special needs kids. Obviously Cena is goat. But it was great seeing Goldberg take time out to give that kid a minute.

    Kudos to WWE for that. They do a lot of great charity work.

    Are we sure Goldberg or Lesnar is ever gonna put over anybody not named Reigns?

    I'm sure Goldberg will lose to Lesnar, but Brock still has yet to put over a young star since he took the streak.I know kayfabe is dead, but they are basically telling everybody that a rusty 50 year old from the attitude era would squash the best you have now. I'm not sure how that's supposed to make anybody look good.

    I'm pretty sure those were his own kids. The whole purpose of Goldberg being back is so his son can see him wrestle because he wasn't born during his wcw run. Goldberg with the strap in 2017 is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I don't give a crap if Goldberg donates his dick to a kid with bladder exstrophy, his old ass should not be main eventing a talent show at an old folks home much less going over Kevin Owens for the strap, what a joke

    I think being in the ring with Lesnar put over a lot of people by itself.

    For example the Cena/Rollins/Brock triple threat at Royal Rumble two years ago was amazing. It really helped legitimize Rollins going forward.

    Fans have been complaining about "old part timers being put over" for years now, but from what I've seen it doesn't matter.

    All the "smark favorites" get their run eventually. You have to keep these "mythical figures" for the kids like Goldberg and Lesnar who mortal men can't beat. Eventually someone will beat them and it'll matter a lot. It's the same as Undertaker was for the past generation.

    The average fan doesn't care about "old guys" going over.

    Kevin Owens title run was meh. I didn't like it. I'm not a fan of a fat guy in basketball shorts being champ either. He's a "smark favorite" but he probably does nothing for most of the actual audience base. Guys like Rollins, AJ, and now probably Bray actually bring something to the table. Owens is a midcard type guy. Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho doesn't draw as a WrestleMania main event.

    Goldberg vs Lesnar does.

    Simple as that.

    No. The second kid was obviously a special needs child -_-

    Also, exstrophy isn't a word.

    The difference between Undertaker and Goldberg is that Taker actually puts on good matches.

    Bray is just as "fat" as Kevin Owens, except he's much less talented. Owens routinely puts on great matches.

    Bladder exstrophy is definitely a thing.

    I feel like they are going to have Lesnar beat Goldberg and then set it up for the Beast vs. the Demon at Summerslam with Balor taking back his title.

    Neville/Gallagher stole the show. Joe/Zayn & Bayley/Charlotte weren't far behind. Surprised they ended Charlotte's PPV streak before WM.

    Garbage main event. Garbage champion. Garbage Universal Championship at WM. Not sure how Greenberg squashing Owens helps the new Era at all. Don't want a part time champ; Goldberg or Lesnar.

    **** booking.

    Four sundays until the show. Is this what the card is looking like?

    Kevin Owens vs (c) Chris Jericho (for the US Title? Or just a revenge match)
    Brock Lesnar vs (c) Goldberg for the Universal
    Undertaker vs Roman Reigns.
    Anyone see talking raw or whatever the post raw show is called? Roman Reigns kept calling it "his yard." And what's up with his shoes today?
    Randy Orton vs (c) Bray Wyatt for World
    Big breast Bella and John Cena vs Miz and Maryse
    Baron Corbin vs (c) Dean Ambrose for IC in a Universal Studios Street fight.
    Austin Aries vs (c) Neville for the Cruiser
    Andre Get everyone on the card Battle Royal.

    Some type of cruiser money in the bank or some **** would be cool
    Rather see a triple threat between AJ, Orton, and Bray.

    Strowman catching and tilt-a-whirling Roman into the table was amazing. The finishes to 3 or 4 of this "season's" PPVs have been matches that lasted a minute. The posturing and entrances, even the promo videos last longer than the actual matches.

    More of a head scratcher

    Tonight is supposedly Orton v AJ for the #1 contender

    Basically the Royal Rumble match & the last two main events are now completely meaningless.
