Wait what the NXT shows are on Hulu now?? This is life changing news. Thank goodness I am still on the free trial of the WWE Network, I can cancel that and just watch NXT on replay on Hulu now.

Has been the entire time I've had Hulu (maybe Hulu plus?, I do have commercials). Even has past seasons. They're always up the next day. Smackdown is up next day in it's entirety. RAW is up late Tuesday/early Wednesday trimmed to a watchable 90 minutes.

The Rock will get to talk for 30 minutes...

And it will be the same old crap from Dwayne.

His schtick is old. He gets a pop because people loved the Attitude Era and he was a legend, but if he had remained active he would have had to evolve. His character hasn't evolved - he's the same as he was when he went off to Hollywood. He gets a free pass because of his popularity and fact that he doesn't show up often.

Prediction - he'll reference his junk (and that it's big). He'll put himself over and bury someone on the current roster.

Huh. So I guess Ryder is IC champ now?

I like Ryder. I like his work ethic.

I wanted KO to go over here.

Read somewhere that loser of Joe-Balor was coming up to the main roster. I would love to book Joe coming up. I'd bring him in as a friend of Reigns, then have Reigns turn on him and give them a long program together. Joe could get great matches out of Reigns and could probably get Roman over as a heel.

Gave in and am watching, Regrettably. This show is a disaster. Some pretty good matches but beyond bizarre endings/winners.

WWE/Vince continue to show they are clueless.

This has been bizarro wrestlemania...none of the people I expected to win have except the pre-show matches on USA (total divas/usos).

Can't wait for the epic Heisman defense we hear for the next few days.

It will take all I got to keep it together!

NXT Takeover made WrestleMania to me disappointing as i thought it would be..Mania has had a few nice moments but overall NXT Takeover inpressed me more on Friday.

I guess when you have a good portion of your stars on the sidelines due to injury and retirement you can only do so much with the roster you have to fill the card for WrestleMania

almost worse than boo's, pretty much no reaction from the fans after the first 5 seconds of the end of the match.

Had to be the most boring WM ever. Every single outcome leads to more garbage coming our way.

I don't know this Corbin kid but I'm sure even if he is promising they blow it

Ha! Nothing I wouldn't do to/for her! Get me a piece of that business and I'd be whatever she needed.

So Reigns was booed and ignored unmercifully! Does anything happen after cameras cut at WM? At Raw there is always more matches.

So I did not watch Reigns/HHH out side the entrances - because I had to see what crazy entrance Trips did and to see how bad Reigns got booed.

But in reading it sounds like people who watched online are complaining about the audio being messed with.

Turning up the announcers, turning down the crowd, adding noise to cover up the boos.

Did anybody here notice that?

Krazy - Corbin is a NXT guy. Not really talented (he can't have great matches with great wrestlers, only decent/good matches). But, he can do big-man stuff reasonably well.

I don't think he'll get over on the main roster, but that's just me. I also don't think Enzo and Cass will get over as a team (I think Cass will, don't think Enzo will).

That was the most disappointing WM in a long time. No swerves, no run-ins, no face changes...just lame as hell. Looked like creative threw in the towel after watching NXT takeover....they knew they couldn't do better so they didn't even try.

Couldnt be happier for my guy Zack Ryder.

Im sure he'll probably drop the belt tonight but hey, he deserved that moment and nice of the crowd to give him a huge pop when he won.

I think this weekend has turned me completely off to WWE pay per views...NXT on the other hand, they can put on a damn good show!

Morning, well if you follow me on Twitter you already know what I thought of the show. I didn't think it was possible but WWE "Creative' managed to bury in one night...

AJ Styles, New Day, League of Nations and the Wyatt's. Did I leave anyone out??

What was the point of the Shane-Taker match, ok so Shane jumps off the cell but he still loses. So nothing really changes.

I also enjoyed how they had to turn down the crowd noise during the match to drown out all the boos for Reigns. So much so you could hear HHH calling spots during the match.
