March 29th, 2015
"The Money And The Power"
- Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship





--- Questions To Ponder ---

- Austin Aries will challenge Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at Wrestlemania. Is this match going to be the one to tear the roof off?
- Rumors are circulating that we'll see Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns tonight in a rematch from FastLane. Speaking of Strowman, what will he be doing for Wrestlemania, if anything?
- Seth Rollins returned after Stephanie & HHH berated Mick Foley, and assaulted HHH last week. Not confirmed that they will have a match, but if they do, how excited are you to see Rollins back again?

--- Enjoy the show, everyone. ---


Quotes? What quotes? The show sucked last week!

I never get to see Mania with you guys

(I watch w/a person that's SUPER casual that loved the attitude era, and a smark that doesn't know what he's talking about....it's fun)

...I really can't explain how happy I felt when Rollins ran out there. It was less about my disdain for part-time champs & Roman but happiness for Rollins. When Seth does the "I just won a championship" mosh spin with the title I mark the fuck out.

Since it's Mania, and since Rollins is facing HHH, I see Rollins hitting HHH with the curb stomp. Just like HHH hit Taker with a chair in the head. HHH will "pay the fine" and take the blame, as Vince will do nothing to him.

[Powder]

And now for another example of Stephanie McMahon emasculating an employee with no comeuppance.

[phemom]

If Roman is supposed to be the "face of the WWE" then why is Seth Rollins taking down the authority?

*and Sami Zayn

[TheAman]

Huh...did not expect Sami here. But I'm not complaining about Sami in the opening segment of RAW either.

[Irishsara]

New Day pulled from Raw? Does Xavier Woods have heat?

Hot start. I still love Mick Foley.

I think Vince has transferred his affections. Roman is destined for a heel turn. I pray.

[TheAman]

New Day pulled from Raw? Does Xavier Woods have heat?

Hot start. I still love Mick Foley.

I don't think he has heat as much as they don't want to put Xavier in front of a Brooklyn crowd right now. No need to rile them up. Hell, they just chanted CM Punk at Sami Zayn.

[Powder]

So Angle starts after Mania....

Sami vs Joe as Mania, fine, then why tonight?

Why doesn't Mick get a goodbye?

[Irishsara]

So Angle starts after Mania....

Sami vs Joe as Mania, fine, then why tonight?

Maybe they want to add a ... third ...

Why doesn't Mick get a goodbye?

Because It isn't goodbye. Mick is still firmly in the WWE family.

[TheAman]

H and Joe vs. Seth and Sami?

[Powder]

Maybe they want to add a ... third ...

Because It isn't goodbye. Mick is still firmly in the WWE family.

Who is the third?

And I know that, but he should still get to get an on air goodbye.

[Powder]

That Little Lungs commercial was terrible. The Truth Campaign does its job well, leave anti smoking to them.

[TheAman]

Who is the third?

And I know that, but he should still get to get an on air goodbye.

He's definitely showing up in upcoming weeks. He may be fired, but he's not gone from this storyline.

[Powder]

He's definitely showing up in upcoming weeks. He may be fired, but he's not gone from this storyline.

Hope so. I hope he gets to name Angle as his replacement.

[Irishsara]

Who is the third? .

obviously

I almost made a Xavier Woods joke there.

[phemom]

H and Joe vs. Seth and Sami?

That's what I was thinking.

Sami sure does lose alot.....damn.

[T.O.]

Who is the third?

And I know that, but he should still get to get an on air goodbye.

A demon, if ya weeeeeellll...

[Macho Mourn]

Obviously Hogan's the third man.

[Powder]

Ahhh...ok.....maybe...but why not have him come out tonight in Brooklyn? Why not give at least 2 weeks build?

[Irishsara]

Ahhh...ok.....maybe...but why not have him come out tonight in Brooklyn? Why not give at least 2 weeks build?

We got 3 hours and at least one more Joe/HHH/Sami/Seth segment.




Well, I got something in my eye.

[T.O.]

Obviously Hogan's the third man.

Yeah but WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON?!

[TheAman]

Balor/Joe/Sami makes very little sense. Joe/Balor with no Sami, maybe, but I believe if Balor shows up, he's showing up in the tag match, and he has to come out tonight and immediately give a huge speech for it to make sense.

[Irishsara]

No. The whole point is that you don't know what side he is on. Finn Balor has a history with HHH. Finn Balor is an NXT guy. Finn Balor is ALSO a face. Maybe he is on Sami's side. You play up the whole what if.

Id pay good money for him to be involved with the tag match tho.

[TheAman]

"There's no doctor that will clear him for Wrestlemania." So are you going to make your doctors look awful now WWE?

[TheAman]

No. The whole point is that you don't know what side he is on. Finn Balor has a history with HHH. Finn Balor is an NXT guy. Finn Balor is ALSO a face. Maybe he is on Sami's side. You play up the whole what if.

Id pay good money for him to be involved with the tag match tho.

So you're bringing him in to not be a 100% face initially? That seems a mistake. He'll be so hot when he comes back, to put a damper on that seems like a poor usage.

[TheAman]

More than anything, Champion Bayley looking bad over and over again makes me so disheartened about wrestling right now.

[phemom]

Cheer me on man.....

Edit: That KOMania 2 shirt is awesome....might be worth a buy the next a WWShop sale happens.

[TheAman]

This segment is brilliant. Not sure if it's Jericho, Owens, a writer, or a combination, but whoever it is...do more!

[phemom]

Stealing a man's passport is damn petty.

TJP for heel plz

How does the Goldberg V Brock get better graphics than everybody else?

[Irishsara]

If you are going to turn Roman then have him beat Taker and turn on the Raw after Mania when everyone is booing him anyway.

[TheAman]

If you are going to turn Roman then have him beat Taker and turn on the Raw after Mania when everyone is booing him anyway.

Why wait til the next night? Have him squash Taker and then continue to attack after the match.

[Irishsara]

That Raw after Mania is going to have such great sound. Have him beat taker clean after a Spear and a Superman Punch.. The heat going into that Raw will be nuclear with the smarks. Then he cuts the bad booing promo and does the turn.

The stadiums never have the right sound.

True, but the visual of Roman completely breaking Taker would be pretty awesome.

[phemom]

The crowd is doing the wave?

[TheAman]

The crowd is doing the wave?

And it sounded like they were chanting Derek Jeter

[TheAman]

Seriously, a Derek Jeter chant, The Wave, and a "We are awesome" chant in the past few minutes. THE. WORST. Corpus Christi > Brooklyn

[T.O.]

Seriously, a Derek Jeter chant, The Wave, and a "We are awesome" chant in the past few minutes. THE. WORST. Corpus Christi > Brooklyn

I WARNED YOU FUCKS the night after WrestleMania 29. No one listened to me. That shit should have been shot in the face that night.

You people deserve what you got.

[phemom]

I'll take crowds going rouge over dead silence 10 out of 10 times.

Nia is not ready to be in a WrestleMania match.

Edit: Can I get a SRW chant tho? Maybe when The Club comes out?

[TheAman]

I'll talk crowds going rouge over dead silence 10 out of 10 times.

Nia is not ready to be in a WrestleMania match.

That's crazy. Gimme the silence over people chanting about themselves and baseball players.
