Well glad see I have missed on almost all of my predictions so far.
Hope Enzo is going to be ok, not watching the show live but saw the replay and that looked awful.
I just don't get Crazy Old Grandpa's booking, the guys that need a win lose and the ones that don't do win

I got blasted because I tweeted about the outcome of that match (thinking it was a work) due to me glancing at twitter and the screen and that I'm conditioned to think everything is a work. I didn't know he was legitimately hurt and some people flipped their ****. Watching the replay in slow-mo, it was obvious he got a concussion.
Anyways, the main event was good but the whole PPV was filler like I expected. I would never bother watching that again.

I was surprised at how good the main event was. Was legit pissed off at the ending of the women's match, it just made no sense at all. Enzo situation looked nasty live, but the slo-mo helped ease serious worries. McMahon segment was waaaaaay too long. I've watched Styles for years, and new he could work, but man!
The ending of the women's match made perfect sense, Vince gets off on making Bret relive the screw job. It was just stupid.
I understand it, but how many times do they need to rehash it. If it were about Brett and Vince then Vince should have been on the ramp laughing or something. It was just poorly done.
The women's title match ending is just sickening. Nearly 20 years later and they still think it's cute to rehash an ending that's been done 7 million times. All for Vince to get his petty laughs in meanwhile the audience groans and rolls their eyes.
I'm glad I was watching Game of Thrones at the time and didn't see it live.

I will probably go back and watch the show at some point at least the main event and Owens and Zayn.
Kind of weird watching ROH's show this morning, the main event featured Gallows and Anderson versus the Briscoe's. Hey they are two places at once. LOL

AJ was awesome last night...fun to watch. Controversial take coming....Dean Ambrose is overrated. Pretty much hate everything about that character..ring attire, his in-ring style, the way he holds the mic, his promos, etc.
Fan of Ambrose - ring attire is garbage. As I said before, he needs a heel turn.
Good to see Reigns already getting the "Super Cena" treatment and kicking out of 5 finishers last night.

Jericho needs to bounce anyways. He does nothing to actually advance anything. His feuds are pointless. I think he has done way more to hurt his "legacy" the past few years.
How many of those were out of the ring though?
I actually have really started to dislike him. I think he sucks in the ring. He hasn't given any memorable match at all and his shtick is played out to me. No reason to care about him at all anymore. Can't believe a lot of people think this guy should be the top babyface. He's mid card at best.
In all seriousness, you don't take the belt off of a guy who just won the title at Mania. Reigns needs to hold that belt through SummerSlam.
Stupid question - does AJ ever see the WWE title?
You have to assume Reigns keeps the title for a while so after this short run with Reigns does he ever get a title shot again?

I see a possible AJ vs Rollins or AJ vs KO feud for the title. I think AJ holds it. If effing Del Rio or Miz hold it, AJ should hold it.
Yeah I can see that possibility and completely agree about Miz and Del Rio getting the title.
Doctor at the hospital: Enzo how did you get hurt?
Enzo: Got hurt by a couple haterz, a couple haterz.
Glad from all indications he is going to be ok I like this tag team.

Yes you can't take the title off Reigns right after WM, but no reason to kick out of that many finishers. It's ridiculous...
Almost ridiculous as being a 3 time world champ in less than 6 months. That's WCW level.
I hope AJ gets a title run. Guy is a great performer. Not on the mic, but he gets it done in the ring.
On Ambrose - remember when I was complaining about the booking with his "feud" with Brock? Here you go. Nothing good came out of that feud for him.
He needs to flip, he will be a much better heel than face.

Bottom line is the writers have been put in a predicament and they simply are doing everything they can to have Reigns overcome the odds as much as possible and just makes for a bad model.
I mean I know short sighted business people get, but to have a strategy of "what's it take to get Roman over" is dumb. Basically this time it was to have Styles, a super popular non WWE made guy, do finisher after finisher and still lose, yea!
But their is no eye on a strategy for Styles and basically after losing to a retired name he gets his finisher squashed therefore should lose steam. But the WWE doesn't care about that as long as Roman is THE guy.
And they can't figure out why he is hated already? We were sick of Cena and now we got a long haired prettier version!

To be fair. The Rock was a 3x champ from November 98 to February 99.
Ambrose looks like crap after the Brock feud.
These are the exact reasons that make me think AJ won't win the title - I hope he doesn't end up in mid card hell.
Nope Jericho just doing what he does..playing the interwebs. Think he is supposed to be around a couple of more months.
AJ should absolutely get the belt at some point. That doesn't mean he will though.
Heisman brought this up on his Tweeter page, Reigns would have been fine had crazy old Grandpa not put Daniel Bryan in the 2015 Rumble. He should have come back the next night on Raw. Once DB was out and RR won, the fans turned on him and haven't forgotten, and WWE's attempts to shove him down our throats isn't helping.

I get what you guys are saying and agree with Y2J and Ambrose but I think lots of that is booking. I love how Ambrose runs wild and crazy. His talk show is fun and he entertains me. His mic skills is great but yeah his wrestling is a little awkward. He's crazy over at times and the internet loves him and to me IMO he's under booked.
Y2J gets boring but he's a legend and I respect him and he's one of the best I've ever seen.

I'm probably in the minority here regarding Y2J. I think since the call up of the NXT guys and AJ making his debut, Y2J has done some of the best work of his career. I don't think anyone else on the roster could have been near the bridge for AJ as Y2J was. He is a skilled veteran who can get in there with new/young guys and teach them on the big stage. I can't think of another vet that I would want in the right what a guy that was new to WWE and I wanted to give a push. Y2J knows his role and he does it very well.
Ambrose can be really good, but he has to be paired with the right person. He isn't the kind of guy you can just throw out there with anyone and it's good. It's going to get very hard to book him in the coming months.
AJ should get a title run, but doubt he will. His work in WWE just keeps getting better and better. Reigns should be kissing AJ's butt! If not for AJ this "feud" would be worthless. to watch.
I think having the Uso's helping RR shows the lack of faith WWE has developed for him, and will continue to hurt him, or them.

AJ's gonna get as close to the belt as Sting did. Vince wont again let someone be his top star who made their name & built their rep somewhere else.
Man I hope they can get this worked out. What would we do without Ryback!?
Ryback Reportedly Removed from WWE Programming Due to Contract Dispute

touch Ryback, he is such a *****, did a pathetic CM Punk imitation coming out to the ring on Sunday. which means he is STILL asshurt over the way Punk destroyed him on that podcast that is a year & a half old now.
