Started on Mania and the Andre Battle Royal was shit.
Goldust dabbing? (fuck off mate) and then Matt Hardy winning and them setting up an alliance with Bray? Ugh, I was hoping they'd be done with it.
Edit: Jumped to NXT as I remembered it was the day before. Giving Shayna the fucking belt :sick:
She's still far too fucking green and the only reason I can see them taking it off of Ember is because they're sending her to the main roster.
Aleister Black :drool:
That Takeover is one of the best 'PPV's' in recent years.
The Rousey/Angle v Hunter/Steph match is surprisingly rewatchable.
Ironically enough, the AJ/Nakamura dream match was a nightmare.
Fucking Jinder.
The pancake midgets are amazing.
Nikki and John Cena no longer a couple :harold:
I knew Miz and Maryse would win the war.
Writing was on the wall when he proposed at Wrestlemania. If he was serious about marrying her, he wouldn't have turned it into a wrestling storyline.
He was spending too much time on Michelle McCool's instagram.
Now Bryan can have both. Or Mickey James has gone full bunny-boiler again.
Had a quick flick through Raw with it being ‘Superstar Shakeup’ week.
Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, The Riott Squad, Zack Ryder, Mojo Rawley, The Ascension, Breezango, Natalya, Chad Gable, Mike Kanellis and Drew McIntyre (can’t think of anyone else) have joined Raw along with Lashley, No Way Jose, The Authors of Pain and Ember Moon from last week.
The only confirmed move from Raw to Smackdown is the Miz.
Looking numbers wise, Smackdown need at least two new teams (Slater and Rhyno and the Club, maybe?) so they’ll have the Usos, the New Day, The Bludgeons, The Colons and Rusev/English.
Smackdown need a few women, and I think Bayley should shift along with the Absolution, while the US Championship is on Raw now - could Jeff Hardy swap across and take the championship back? I think someone like Balor could do well over there.
Has to be Rollins for me, either that or Miz needs to win the belt back from Rollins and take it to the blue brand. While getting Jeff away from Matt and Bray wouldn't be a bad thing, it would make Kurt Angle look like a total twat "Yea, I traded for the US Title, now I'm going to give a title shot to a man I traded away!"
And before anyone points it out, yes it was an "open challenge", but he could easily have said "No, not you, you've been traded".
I still hate the "Superstar shake up" though. If it's trades, then tell us who was traded for who. If it's random, show it being randomised. This whole "The GMs are working on deals but we're going to give you no details" thing is bollocks.
The Ambrose/Miz segment from last year's shake up was better than any of the reveals last night too.
They should have the whole cruiserweight division move to Smackdown as they tape it on the same day anyway, plus I want Neville back pronto.
Finished up on 'Mania yesterday. I think the Rousey et al match was probably the best when I thought it would be the worst although it wasn't without it's problems.
They really shouldn't have had Rousey attempt the armbar that many times (3 or so IIRC) as she's legitimately one of the best in the world at them. There's no chance someone like Stephanie would have been able to defend them at all. The first time she slapped it in should have been the last.
The main event was laughable (as was everything after the tag match), it seemed that 90% of the moves were finishers.
Oh and fuck Nicholas, if they were going down the kid route they should have let Boatman team with the kid that was inducted into the HOF (kid had style and jokes) not the fucking referee's kid.
Did Kid Rock duck out of the stand 'n' wave so he wouldn't get booed?
Fuck Nicholas even more, the way he said 'Get these hands' to Angle on RAW :sick:
We need @ItalAussie to check if this works.
I'm still behind but I'm glad they traded Miz to Smackdown it makes sense. I'd also have him winning at Backlash to take the intercontinental title and then having a feud with Bryan.
I'm not a fan of Miz moving back. To me he's the most (by which I mean, only) entertaining thing on the product and taking him off the 3 hour show will make it unwatchable, even more so than it already is. Plus I would rather have had Bryan on RAW to take the belt off Lesnar because Reigns absolutely shouldn't be doing that (even though he will). Oh well. I'm sure it'll make Smackdown better.
Well it would be better if Reigns (and Jinder) would just be fucked off but it won't happen.
Thinking about it, Miz for Sami and KO is probably a fair deal for Smackdown (or at least not far off) and the other 17 names they've sent over are all shite. This can only benefit them, and make them the show worth watching.
What the fuck was with the Carmella cash in? Why was the ref asking 'you sure m8?' constantly?
Carmella is hot but she should never be allowed to open her mouth.
Watching last nights RAW I'm actually really pissed off that Miz has gone to Smackdown.
They could have made a great stable called Miztertainment as that segment with Owens and Zayn was brilliant.
Man, Drew McIntyre must be feeling pretty good just now getting to bask in the popularity of Ziggler.
More than likely Miz is getting a WWE title shot Mahow.
Even if they don't give him it again Miz deserves to have a title feud with somebody.
I think he'll win at Backlash taking the Intercontinental title with him.
Oh and did they plant some people into the audience on RAW?
There were quite a few cheers for Roman as well as some positive signs.
'Mania botches:
Taker kicking the air so powerfully that it knocks Cena down.
I'm also sure the table move was a botch but I can't find a video.

WWE don't even remember their titles/holders.
Just gone through the predictions:
Ian - SEVEN right (Angle/Rousey, Jinder, Boatman, Nia, Bludgeon twats, Cedric Alexander and Matt Hardy)
Gray - six right (Cedric, AJ, Angle/Rousey, Boatman, Nia and Taker)
Mahow - five right (Angle/Rousey, Boatman, Nia, Bldgeon and Taker)
Pleb - 3 right (Styles, Bryan/Shane and Boatman)
Disco - 2 right (Angle/Rousey and Nia).
Ian takes the win by being the only one to predict a McBattle Royale winner.
No one picked Baroque or Charlotte.
Bludgeon twats :D
Me and predictions don't go hand in hand. Look at my Pick-ems :sherlock:
How did none of you get Charlotte v Asuka right? No wonder you hate the product.
We believed in the streak.
Well at least we won't be getting the brother Nero bullshit.
Edit: Not sure why they'd trade Joe over. I liked his segments trashing Roman.
Boatman, Rollins and Balor to get universal championship pushes? Well probably not as they'll have Bork part timing forever smashing the shit baby-face Roman.
Edit: If that's the whole Sanity stable :drool:
Joe and AJ Styles have put on many many many quality matches against each other in TNA and Ring of Honor.
Seems that they're trying to absolutely kill the RAW tag team division.
Breezango, Revival, Bray/Hardy, Ascension and possibly Miztourage under a new name?
I had The Bar going to SD but with The New Day or The Usos going to RAW.
Nakamura as a creepy stalker punching people in the dick is the best version of him.
He's gone from 'knee to face' to 'fist to balls'.
Brunoooooooooooo

82 for a former wrestler is incredible considering the life expectancy is about 40 these days.
On current form Smackdown have really done better out of that, haven't they? Even if they appear to be planning Bryan vs. Cass as an actually thing.
Apparently Sanity is going to be called up sans Nikki Cross.
Guessing they want to keep her on NXT to give Shayna another challenger (in addition to Kairi Sane) because there's fuck all else.
What a weird set of switches. They set up a match between Roman and Jeff then move one of them to a different show, how the fuck does that make any sense? Then you have Jeff Hardy and Jinder switching shows with Jeff taking the belt off him, then you book a rematch at this Saudi thing. Gee, I wonder who's going to win that one. I also had a good lol at Daniel Bryan apparently feuding with Big Cass, how's that for a dream match nerds.
In fairness Jinder could win if Miz picks up the IC, but yea, for the most part they’ve ruined their next 2 PPVs as well as made Angle out to be a complete fucking moron. They could end up with just the CW and women’s titles on RAW if results went against him.
