What's you guys predictions for mania? Any dream scenarios? All I want is for them to deflate the crowd with the taker/Shane match then trot out reigns last to get booed out of the building after he goes over in the main. What I'm getting at is that this could have great train wreck potential.

My only dream is for Raw to go back to 2 hours and for Vince to go into one of those crazy-old-man retirements where he takes up extreme sports or something.

His last act can be firing all the writers. He always hated them anyway.

Its gonna be a hot mess. A stinking hot mess. They should just replay Takeover: Dallas.

Anyhow, what is everyone's picks?

FINAL WRESTLEMANIA 32 MATCH CARD
Triple H (c) vs. Roman Reigns World Heavyweight Championship

This one is supposed to be changed to no-DQ. The only way to get the crowd to cheer a Roman Reigns win would be the reformation of The Shield. I would like to see an Evolution v. Shield fight. This probably won't happen though. It will most likely be The Rock coming out to distract HHH after some other people jumping in. Either way, HHH will drop the belt to RR.

The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon Hell In a Cell

This one will be cringey. Would have been fun 15 years ago, but Taker is too beat up and Shane is too out of shape. Shane should be taking the loss, but will likely be written in as the GM of SmackDown the next night.

Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose No Holds Barred Street Fight

It should be surprisingly fun. Ambrose will lose, but it will be fun.

Charlotte (c) vs. Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks Divas Championship Triple Threat

Might be the match of the night. Sasha and Becky have the talent and Charlotte can exist in a high 4 star match with strong talent. If they have had time to feel this out and have been working together on the road, then this should be great.

Chris Jericho vs. A.J. Styles

Another match of the night possibly. CJ will do the job, but these two work really well together.

Kevin Owens (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, The Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara, Zack Ryder Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match

Should have just been KO v. SZ. Everyone else doesn't matter much. SZ gets the strap.

Kalisto (c) vs. Ryback United States Championship

Ryback jobs. Boring match.

League of Nations vs. New Day Handicap Match (4 vs. 3)

Should be fun, however New Day is best when they have someone outside the match fucking around outside the ring. New Day take the win.

WRESTLEMANIA 32 PRESHOW MATCH CARD
The Dudley Boyz vs. The Usos

Poorly using Dudleys. Usos win.

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (Participants TBA)

Braun Strowman takes it.

Natalya, Paige, Brie, Alicia, Eva vs. Lana, Naomi, Tamina, Summer, Emma

lol who cares?

AS I'm in the UK and watching three hours of RAW would probably kill me, I always watch the highlights on youtube. The best bit was when some music started playing in the middle of the Divas Brawl and the dead crowd started booing immensely.

At first I thought Roman Reigns was doing a run in on the Divas, but then I saw who it actually was. They put EVA MARIE on the Wrestlemania card! EVA MARIE! Her gimmick in NXT is that she sucks and the crowd hate her. And they thought the crowd would buy her as a face? What idiot writer did they get to write that particular brilliant piece?

On NPR today they had a bit on wrestlemania and even public radio brings up that the crowd hates romamomann even though he's the good guy.
 
I have two gripes with this show aside from the booking going into the show being relatively weak.

1: The use of similar finishes in two matches, Aries vs Corbin and Joe vs Finn. I felt like they could have used a different type of finish for one of them, since both were surprise roll ups.

2: The bloody anti-PG brigade that threw a fit when the physicians halted the main event to close Joe's cut above his eye and clean out his eye from blood. That was not a PG issue, it was an issue with Joe risking going blind on that eye if nothing was done about it. You'd think with how relatively mainstream MMA and other combat sports are now, where the same procedure is used for nasty cuts, that it would be accepted or even seen as legit to do the same in wrestling.
 
I enjoyed the matches, I have a slight criticism though about the first match that I didn't really like how everyone kept running in the ring for seemingly no (Kayfabe) reason (Mostly it was to set up synchronised suplex style spots), they were both really entertaining tag teams though.

Zayne vs Nakamura was definitely my favourite match of the year so far and it must be disapointing for everyone involved about that cut above Joe's eye because without the stopping it looked like it would have been a really intense match and I'm not sure if Finn was holding back.
 
Mick Foley's daughter isn't even done training yet and she's already over af.
