SMH come on, I didn't name him because it was just an example based off how much you were gripping over Cody. Cody being a bigger star in WWE BAD, K.O. Wrestles in a T-Shirt BAD, neither deserves it because they work at the bigger Company. BOO WWE, BOOOOOOOOO!

And forget even night two — Raw is probably going to be pretty stacked too. It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a big debut, some new programs starting and a guy like Finn Balor might get the chance to tear it up and wrestle that chip off his shoulder (if he’s even got one).

This is definitely shaping up to be a better wrestlemania than others in recent years. Seth vs Cody and Becky vs Bianca were the only matches that were truly great. Nothing was outright bad though.

Imagine being a guy like Danielson and seeing them do this show just after you leave. He’d probably find it funny, but a part of him has got to be like “Well, damn.”

Confused now at which cultists xrod is against.... those seem to be pro-WWE cultists, where normally he is all about the AEW/Fed Bad cultists....

This was a case where the audience, the presentation and the guy themselves managed to all come together to make something pretty much perfect. And yeah, a lot of it is the anticipation that they’d fuck it up, or it wouldn’t be as good as it could have been. But that’s what made it perfect and made him look like a star. It’s not because he used a fucking song by Downstait or just because he came up from the stage. It’s because of where he did and why. And there’s that smell of him getting to do it his way. It’s not because he was made a star in AEW, ROH, the NWA or anywhere else. Yes, it’s a cute little way of presenting yourself, and he’s fine-tuned it outside of WWE. But it’s getting to do it there that made this, in this context, feel special. And that makes #1-aew-mark feel uncomfortable, because the guys who aren’t his team not only did something right, but something his team can’t actually do. The worst thing WWE can do to AEW is take away their crutch of “well, they might be bigger, but we’re better.” Because then they’ve got nothing. That’s why it felt like a “shots fired” moment. Because they did AEW better than AEW and that hurts deep inside when you’ve consumed so much of that Kool-Aid. |

He just enjoys making sarcastic comments about wrestling more than he enjoys actually watching wrestling.

I’m not holding my breath. They have a short memory for stuff like this. He was the same guy he was before right down to the music last night but Vince is gonna wanna put his mark on the presentation. They may not go full Stardust but the charm of jumping ship is gonna wear off and Vince is gonna try to mild something of his own out of him. |

I try to stay off wrestling Twitter, but there are definitely people out there like #1-wwf-fan that are going to try and push narratives like AEW is the reason that Cody felt special. It’s just going to be the response when guys start leaving AEW to go back to WWE and do more relevant work.

Kevin Owens has got to be feeling pretty good about his decision to not take the truck AEW backed up to his house and stick with WWE.
Like seriously, he’s got to be feeling like $1 billion right now. He got to work Steve Austin in the main event of WrestleMania. And he got to talk and actually be the guy to challenge him. Probably can’t believe where he is. |

Let’s not derail this into an RIP AEW thread. We can use the AEW thread for that. But yeah, they aren’t the hot shit right now, even if that’s how the internet bubble tried to frame their niche product for a while.
If you like it, subjectively, fuck off and like it. I think it’s pretty terrible. Given a choice between Kevin Owens vs. Steve Austin and Kenny Omega pulling faces, I know what I’d rather watch. And I know what most other people even tangentially interested in wrestling would rather watch. And that gets confronting to nerds when they can’t pretend the WWE didn’t just hit a home run. With their bat. |

There are people who legitimately mock Raw for getting 1.8 million viewers and then champion Dynamite getting 900k like it’s an achievement and the more popular show. It’s crazy.
People are going to try and will their team to victory, I guess. |

This is the snap-back of all the “WWE Bad” stuff AEW does. They kind of walk into this by firing all those shots because when they look insignificant next to the WWE, it’s going to be noticeable. |

For me, this was one of the best Wrestlemania's I've seen in a long time. Every match had a story to tell.
Sucks that Boogs got hurt but this is a chance to get Nakamura back out on his own and I hope the WWE has enough common sense to run with it. Drew winning was always going to happen but now he gets a secondary "push" out of the match in that he is the only person to kick out of the End of Days. Will be a nice "stat" to feature in the future. The Miz and Logan looked like stars. Paul could easily turn this into a career if he wants, but he's always been one to not really get a long with authority in mainstream media. I just don't know if Vince would want to invest with someone who just shoots his mouth off non-stop about unions being formed in their industry, etc. (On a side note, if Dominic doesn't turn on Rey by Wrestlemania Backlash, you can put a fork in his career. While it's been a good run, he needs to get away from his dad. Belair versus Lynch was just A+ in my eyes. Becky looks way hotter now with this haircut. Her and Bianca put on a show. Started early with them mirroring the SummerSlam finish, but settled into a creative and fierce war. Some of the spots looked painful as all hell. The only gripe I have is that I would have had Lynch kick out of the first KOD, only for Belair to immediately hoist her up and nail another one for the pin. Cody's return was PERFECT. Even though it had been long speculated that he was coming back for the show, it was very well done. From the Pyro to "Kingdom" hitting, to Seth's reactions as he came down the ramp, to the actual match, it was so well done. Time will tell if they can keep this momentum moving forward with him, but last night laid the groundwork towards him being a main event player for years to come. Loved when Graves called out Saxton for saying that he was shedding skin of his past rather than showboating when he hit the cartwheel and acted like Stardust. Rousey and Flair felt flat to me. If the rumors are true and Rousey walked out of the Hall of Fame Ceremony, I'd be interested to see if this was the intended result of their match all along or not. Was the plan all along for Flair to retain or did the actions of Rousey Friday night change the plan. In my opinion (and this will not be a popular opinion) but the boot to the face and pinfall is a burial. Sure she might get her rematch but in my eyes, it's like saying "Know your place in line. This isn't where you come here and act like a spoiled brat and cry and complain your way to main events." Owens and Austin was amazing. For this to be Austin's retirement match was fantastic. At the very beginning, I was concerned because when he was stomping a mudhole in the corner , it looked like Austin wasn't in shape. Boy was I wrong. The suplex on the concrete floor was cringeworthy in the sense that you still were fearing for Austin's health. Still, a well drawn out match, and with how much Owens was touted as one of the safest workers in the company in the past week, they definitely foreshadowed that there was going to be a match. Night 2 has an insane amount of emotion and match quality to live up to. If they can even match half of what was done last night, the night will be great. The only question that remains in my head: Is rock coming back to close Mania and stare down Reigns and then a promo on Raw pulling the "booking next year's main event of Mania on Raw", or does Reigns come out and brag about beating Brock on Raw and say there's nothing left for him to do in the company, that's it's time for everyone to acknowledge me and then Rock's music hits. |

I’m thinking Dominik will turn on his dad between now and Backlash. I can see Rey being like “We may have lost, but we walked out the team.” Then of course what happens, happens.
I just hope Dominik has the chops for it. Surely they wouldn’t be doing it if he can’t deliver the stuff, right? But man, he’s going to get so much heat, it’ll be pretty intense. |

I hope Rey refuses to fight his son for a while and Dominik is a constant prick about it because he kind of counted on it.

That’s basically the template I’d use.
By the way, good takes on Mania. ![]() It remains to be seen about Rousey. It could be a burial, like you said. But it could also be that she’s taking time off, changing shows, going into a different program or just that they want to do a rematch. She’s a big star and she’s talented, so I hope it’s for the positive reasons. But we’ll see. |

Re: Rock:
I’m not really expecting him. Even if the plan is to do him vs. Reigns, I think I’d rather wait until it gets closer. If you can get Rock, I’d rather see him just beat up someone else or something. Maybe he does something in the ring and then bumps into Reigns backstage and it’s “teased.” But I dunno, I’m kind of expecting the big dates for Rock to work to be the Rumble, maybe something after the SuperBowl a go-home and WrestleMania. Maybe a few more in there, but you catch my drift. Maybe he’ll also host SummerSlam or something to get him into Reigns’ crosshairs? I’m expecting Reigns to win and stand tall and that to be that. Maybe the glass shatters and eats a Stunner or something? Lol. |

I’m thinking Reigns goes straight into a program with either Drew McIntyre or AJ Styles. Maybe Bobby Lashley. That sort of thing.
