PM please.I've just seen it with JR commentary.
I've not seen the belt thing either.

I'm a twit
Shane McMahon did his elbow on the announce desk again, so what boring spot will his WrestleMania defeat be based around?
Blimey, JR's wife was killed in a car accident.
Good God Almighty.
And he missed it, just like last year. That I can recall he has essentially tried four moves since his return. Three elbows through the announce table, one off the cell, and a coast to coast. And if you don't count the two elbows the commentary team told us he hit he's missed all of them and one nearly killed him.
I reckon he "hits" the coast to coast against AJ OR they go full mental and have him go off a titantron again (and miss.) Though at Mania it'd take him about a year to "fight" his way back to the stage.
Fuck's sake.
Speaking of 'Mania, I missed Jim Cornette inducting the Rock 'n' Roll Express. If he doesn't come out with his tennis racket he can get fucked.
He did it for the gimmick battle royale, he'll do it for this.
The Goldberg WrestleMania workout video devotes an awful lot of time to his 'M'wee Tie' training, so if he starts throwing kicks around (call them stroke-makers) and taking it to the ground then fucking hell we've got a classic on our hands.
It'll all be worthwhile when he lasts a whole 90 seconds.
I know we discussed this the other day but now that the Wrestlemania card is pretty much in place (maybe a Smackdown tag title match to be added) it does look proper rank.
I see we've got Shawn Michaels to blame for AJ vs. Shane O Mac.
Goldberg has a proper match in him, given it's likely to be his last one this has to go a reasonable time.
He barely had a proper match in him when he was younger. Which is precisely how WWE fucked up his first run.
Being from WCW didn't help. For his last match ever he can do 10 minutes.
10 minutes? Send for Regal.
For those of you that haven't seen it I can't recommend Oney Lorcan vs Andre Almas from this week's NXT highly enough. Incredible. Proper strong style for a good 20 minutes. They really went at with some great back and forth. Give it a look.
You're not going to believe this - I actually thought tonight's Raw was pretty good. Must be the first time I've thought that in about two years.
Having it end in an actual fight is a step up from the other year
A quick scan over the results tells me it probably wasn't. This WM just feel like it's going to be utter shite.
It was alright. It all felt very coherent, which is a change.
Final card...:

Oh dear...
How does a 'non-sanctioned match' find its way onto their main pay per view?
They're even calling it 'hold harmless' now instead which really makes it sound befitting of the ultimate 7 hour thrill ride.
Likely best match buried on the pre-show. Good stuff.
The whole 'omg mania will be rubbish' will hopefully mean it's actually really really good.
Is the Shane O'Mac match a no holds barred affair? I only really watch WWE for "hardcore" (cell, ladder, no holds barred etc) matches and nothing is jumping out at me.
I'm a twit
It doesn't have a stipulation yet but it absolutely will do. Unless they're genuinely planning to go straight singles match and see just how good a match AJ can actually have with a broomstick.
Unless they go old-school and have a WM17, Taker/HHH-esque ref bump where Shane accidentally hits him with one of his cack-handed punches and the ref stays down for an hour so they can do as they please.
Indeed. For once it seemed like they actually knew what they were aiming at.
Quite enjoyed that Reigns promo. The start of it at least, when he was baiting the crowd.
Cruiser Weights on the pre show is sad.
Meanwhile in NJPW/ROH, Kenny Omega will likely wrestle Adam Cole on 1 of the G1 tour events in California and Okada v Shibata looks as though it will more than likely be another 5 star classic.
In a week of firsts, I'm also watching Smackdown for the first time in about five years. Fucking hell, The Miz vs Cena promo segment was superb. Absolutely no holds barred shit and Cena is great when he's not being a childish cunt. Got to give WWE credit here, the card for Sunday looks solid. Most of the matches have established, long stories behind them and the shorter ones are at least logical or have a bit of effort put into them.
I do feel a tad sorry for AJ Styles, though. It's almost as if they run out of guys and so he just got stuck with Shane. It's not even a stipulation match ffs.
They have to shift Rusev and Sami Zane over after to Mania. Absolutel waste atm
I like how Sami Zayn has wrestled Kevin Owens more than ever since that PPV match that was going to be their final battle, also how the GMs make him earn his spot in battle royals that Curt Hawkins and Primo just decide they're entering.
Surely he can be a top Baby Face on Smackdown if given the right push?
Eventually maybe, but his character necessitates him being shat on for a while before doing anything. Whether they're doing that or not is anyone's guess.
Him, Rusev, and Cesaro could easily join the long list of talent terminally buried on Raw.
Yeah Cesaro is another one.
If WWE had NJPW bookers I'd subscribe to the network.

I can imagine the seethe and the looks on peoples faces if Da Miz loses to Don Cenahh in a mixed tag match.
When he loses.
You can't have Stephanie going about not being insane, you know.
I've got Miz and Maryse winning their match, and then they do the big Total Diva proposal nonsense in the face of defeat like when Randy Savage lost the retirement match and turned into a massive sap.
Yep, that's exactly how I see it going too.
I did like Cena talking about the womens revolution while Nikki just stood there smiling and nodding at everything he said.
JR is calling Lesnar V Goldberg. I'm now 10 times more excited for the match.
Props to him for working, given what happen earlier this week.
I now have some interest beyond the result.
Watching the Hall of Fame thing. Bischoff looks right old now he's stopped dying his hair.
OSW are now doing Russo-era TNA. GIMMICKS!
Kur Tangle's speech was a bit over-done, to the point of being a bit cringe-worthy. Then again, he doesn't look like he has long left to live, so why not get everything off your neck?
JR doing the entire event would have ensured a late night. Calling the most pointless match on the card on the other hand? Not so much.
What if he delivers a soundbite for the ages? As for Kurt, legitimately the best of his generation.
There are at least three more pointless matches than Bork v Glodbog.
Angle's speech was a bit Greatest Hits after the opening yarn.
DDP's speech and the Rock 'n' Roll Express' haircuts were both tremendous.
"Slobber knocker" is a shoe in.
