Worried that Logan Paul is gonna knock out Sami or something, would much rather see him get battered by Owens. Boy’s an absolute knob.

Happy for sheamus, Good match with Apollo and Big E, interesting new role for daba kato (most likely wrong spelling) Asuka and ripley was a bit slower than expected but wasn’t bad, glad she won.

Mania night 2 thoughts without spoilers
Kevin vs Sami was great. A lot of near falls. Was rooting for the won who lost this match. But overall, really solid. Wish kevin would stop teasing the package piledriver and just hit it one of these days
Missed rhea vs asuka, but the winner i think was a good decision, for the current time at least.
Big E vs Apollo i found pretty disappointing, especially the ending. It started well, but all these new gimmick matches are to close to others.
Sheamus vs Riddle was fun. A few slip ups, and riddle busted his mouth open. Or, sheamus busted riddles mouth open. Wasnt an easy spot to pull of, so it makes sense how easy sheamus's foot could bust open a lip on riddle. Winner was a good decision, but i hoped for the other to win. I think these 2 will feud more tho.
Randy vs Fiend, since esp already mentioned the winner, i will too. Really didnt like this match. Red lighting is annoying. Fiend cant take 1 rko, but can take 22 stomps? And why was Alexa dripping tar? I wouldnt mind this as long as it explained more rather than them just disappearing.
Nia and Shayna vs Natalya and Tamina... well. Why is their even womens tag titles? Not enough utilized talent for it, and when there is, whys it newly made teams who contend for it? Riot squad should have been in the match. Not sure what all these other "teams" are doing. Anyway, match was actually alright. Exceeded my very low expectation. Natalya was alright, but tamina had the better spots of the 2 i think. Shayna barely had any moments in the match that i can remember. Nia's only moments i remember are being slammed and some bad knee selling. Dont even know if the right team won, as i dislike both of them.
Bryan vs Reigns vs Edge
There was no right or wrong option to win. But there certainly was a right way to end it, and i think they accomplished that. So many near finishes that had me crossing my fingers that itd be broken up. And thats perfect. And when it was over, you could tell it was over. Because it was a good way to show a strong contender. Obviously, it being a no dq, jey uso got involved. Quite a bit in the early stages. Some pretty scary looking spots. Bryan took a table bump that looked pretty rough the way it broke. And roman and edge collided shoulders while both going for a spear. I think the only disappointment i have here is i was rooting for someone else. But thats no reason to think less of a match, at least not in a case where all 3 are amazing competitors.

Honestly, one of my fav manias since Wrestlemania 33, but I didn't think the set was all that great. All the matches felt great, just the whole womens tag matches weren't really fitting for Mania. Fiend is done, no point making him return to have him lose, but oh well. Logan's stunner was funny, and good to see the crowd continuing to boo the Hulkster 😂

Fell asleep before the main event, damn UK timing. But just watched it now and what a great way to end, 2 people the crowd would’ve loved to win being pinned at once, Roman is just the absolute man now. Fantastic match aswell, lots of great spots and they didn’t drag it on for ages. Great mania overall, personally I loved the set, the logo split across all the sails on the ship was awesome imo, and the lighting on the ship itself was epic.
Only a few blunders, women’s tag and fiend continuing to be used wrong, but as a whole, pretty good show.

What a horrible raw after mania. Nothing happened. How is it possible for raw to be so bad and smackdown so good?

More crazy releases. Samoa F**king joe is gone. Iconics are gone. Chelsea green, Kalisto, Bo Dallas, tucker, Wesley Blake, and Mickie F**king James all gone.
I’m so upset that the company I love and have supported for years does this shit. No doubt these guys will go on and do great stuff but so many that they’ve released should be champions over so many still on the roster. (Not that I wish for anyone else to be released, just find it baffling)
Gutting stuff.

Fantastic smackdown last week, I genuinely feel that Cesaro could be the one to beat Roman... and that’s unreal.
Haven’t been able to watch raw yet.

Obviously cesaro is so good, but he really needs a new finisher, the neutraliser is so bad.

Obviously cesaro is so good, but he really needs a new finisher, the neutraliser is so bad. I dont hate the move. And i blame both those botches on jey and roman more than him. They didnt hold themself in under his knees as they should have to take the move. However, the finisher is really bland. I'd rather his uppercut be his finisher.

The move just never had impact, it’s a boring version of the styles clash to me 🤷🏻♂️

Finally got to watch backlash, got most of it spoiled before watching it, and saw lots of people hating on the zombie stuff which is fair, I personally thought it was harmless fun (I find lumberjack matches boring as hell, so thought it was a fun twist for the movie promotion)
Overall a pretty average show, great seeing Rey and Dom as champs, love Ripley but she’s meant to be this badass punk type woman and yet she’s doing “na na nana na” and sticking her tongue out as her taunts after the match, really weird contrast, wwe title match was a great brawl imo, universal title match was decent but predictable I’d say.
