GDT: WWE Fastlane post-show thread

[Emperoreddy]

Back to AJ vs Y2J. Why in the flying **** wasn't the ending the Styles Clash. Why book it like that and have him kick out and THEN tap?

 

[Machinehead]

I just can't believe Vince is watching the same thing we're watching and coming to a different conclusion. WM 31 with Rollins winning was one of my favorite things of all-time. How could he come to the conclusion at the biggest event in his life that the fans won't boo this ******** out of the building?

WM 30: Plan was a disaster, had to send Daniel Bryan to fix it.

WM 31: Plan was a disaster, had to send Seth to fix it.

WM 32: Hey let's book the guy nobody wants again! Went great the last two years!

 

[Machinehead]

Boy I think in 5 years we are going to look back and wish we re-booked the Wyatts. Wyatt is probably one of the worst booked wrestlers. They can't even beat 3 randos.

Dean and Bray are my two favorite wrestlers right now. This is what it must feel like to be a Cubs fan.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Brock to 4 chair shots and was out. Roman took 3, and got right back up and won. That is a ******** no sell.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Vince must be deaf. He clearly doesn't hear the cheers and pops some guys get and ignores the boo's Reigns gets

vince isn't deaf he is just stuck in his ways, he thinks he can manufacture a no.1 babyface

reigns and hhh will be interesting....a part timer vs a guy who gets tired quickly, gonna need alot of smoke and mirrors

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I just find it strange that the guy who terrorized the WWE fanbase for nearly 15 years is now in the cat bird seat of being face in the main event of Wrestlemania.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I don't know if Enzo ans Cass were ever really on the table, but even then, they bumped a 2/3 Falls Match for the US Title to the preshow for a ****ing League of Nations run in?

 

[Machinehead]

Brock to 4 chair shots and was out. Roman took 3, and got right back up and won. That is a ******** no sell.

What pissed me off even more was the Roman kicked out of Dean's finisher, but then Dean went down from one spear.

The guy who on the last couple of Monday's took F-5 after F-5 and said "give me another one" (which was ****ing fantastic) - he couldn't kick out of Roman's spear.

Way to **** on Dean to make Roman look superhuman for the millionth time.

Reigns has body armour

 

[Marv4Life]

A malnourished junkie Ambrose vs Lesnar for the title is insulting. You saw how that worked out tonight. Like a (literally) baby brother getting his ass handed to him like nothin'.

Reigns winning wasn't the issue. It's HOW he won. His reaction didn't help though. Typical G-rated boring predictability. Coulda had Vince interfere on his behalf w/o him knowing. Heck have Reigns cheat.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

man they pretty much killed the wyatt's tonight didn't they?

gotta think the decision was made to do ambrose/lesnar which is the right thing to do, now there is a reason to call ambrose legitimately crazy instead of all the kindergarten crap..

 

[The Gongshow]

So who does Wyatt face now. He's so buried right now and needs a WM win

 

[ColePens]

The E&C show was so weird. New Day comes out for the verbal battle. As a fan who is just buying kayfabe... I spot heel vs. face. So I get excited. They battle and it's pretty solid.

Then.... LON comes out and hates on the heels. Now we have heel vs heel. I'm... confused.

Then the end is New Day and E&C singing together.... which totally negates the beginning part of that promo. As a fan, how am I supposed to take that in?

I seem to remember a guy smaller than Ambrose beating Lesnar for the title once upon a time -not clean mind you, but still- and it was one of the most over title changes they ever had.

Eats a lose to Brock. I literally think that is going to happen right now. Hasn't been a peep on the dirt sheets about them changing away from the Brock/Bray Mania match.

Wyatt reverse Taker!!! 0-3 at Mania Maggle!

And LON came out in the face spot. Heels making fun of the team in the back and they got annoyed. But then New Day become the faces I think?

 

[The Gongshow]

New Day vs LON is gonna blow

At least last year people began to 2nd guess Reigns winning because of the resigning of Lesnar right, well now theres no doubt Reigns wins at Mania. Its pretty sad

No...Reigns winning is the issue. How he won is just a secondary issue. Reigns winning and having the company be predictable, lazy, and complacent is absolutely the issue. People want fresh not something that has been shoved down their throat for over a year now that they never wanted in the first place.

And then what happened for SD? Attendance and ratings dropped even more. In defense of Latino Heat Eddie was more jacked and more athletic than Ambrose is today, be real. Also more experienced than Brock at the time. People could buy him having a slight chance.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I'm sorry but New Day has been awful since they changed their tron and started coming out in pink.

They're a walking Reddit meme, I can't take them seriously.

They would buy Ambrose having a chance more than they would Reigns being superman at this point.

They bought it two years ago when a guy 5'10" and a buck-80 on good day beat Batista.

I don't remember SD having an attendance and ratings drop after that that was related to Eddie's title win.

It's just Cleveland is a heel town. Like Philadelphia, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Minnesota, Boston, Seattle, LA, and Portland.
