Shane looking in incredible shape.

Excited for Shane vs Taker, but man the WM build has been underwhelming this year. Hopefully there'll be some sort of twist we're not expecting on the night. Really hope Shane beats Taker to take control of RAW, maybe some sort of brand split or something, shake it up a bit. Been the same old Authority **** for too long now.

So just got back into wrestling after about 15 years out of the game, just want to express incredulity at the fact that some people are still even alive after all these years? Triple H has not aged well...can't believe Wrestlemania is still going as well...

Lesnar v Ambrose and Shane v Taker ought to be good. Still interested to see what they do with Rock and Austin as well. Would probably be really up for Y2J vs AJ if they hadn't done the match several times already too.

Expecting a decent, but probably unremarkable show.

woman's match should be good, particularly if the latest gossip holds true. and hey, they've done AJ-Y2J before but it's still the best wrestler in the world and also Y2J so. It'll probably either be pretty good or it'll crash and burn.

Yeah, I have no doubt it will be a good match. I'd just be much more excited for it as a...thing, if they hadn't already done it. But yeah, the women's match should be good.

Looking forward to Bayley vs Asuka as well.

I don't think there will be any bad matches. Roman and HHH will put on a show too, but unless there's a huge turn it'll just get **** on because everyone hates Roman. New Days matches have all been quite good lately too, I think they'll get a lot of time to shine.

The Battle Royale is the only think I'm not sure about.

Go to say the buildup has been woeful though for many of these matches.Not enough hype imo Shane-Taker side.

The segment involving Ambrose-Lesnar this RAW was so stupid.

Interestingly enough, I wasn't at all hyped for WM last year, but it actually turned out to be a really good show. I think that's partly why I'm not especially worried about not feeling very interested this time around as well.

I think this is one of the inevitable problems you come up against when your main draws to a show are part-time. Lack of air-time makes it difficult to build things effectively. And I don't just mean this in the short term either. The fact that certain guys only ever show up for the few weeks preceding WM each year adds something special in some ways, but it also means something gets lost for mine. Can make it feel like a storyline or whatever is forced into things simply because it's WM season rather than there being any illusion of it developing slowly/naturally.

I agree but still there's hardly enough mic work imo.Shane-Taker despite being part time stars did well enough to build up the feud.

While HHH-Reigns despite having the whole backstory behind the feud had a poor buildup towards the end.Maybe they dont trust Reigns enough on the mic.But it could've been developed into something bigger.Worst main-event since probably Miz and Cena.I really hope there is some twist in the end otherwise this could turn out to be awful imo.

Lesnar making sporadic appearances dint help the feud but while he was there,it was basically Ambrose turning up to either get F-5'd or suplexed by Brock.Was over the moon when the match was announced as i've been a big fan of Ambrose and was glad that he finally got his big break but really unhappy with the build-up.I expected the final promo on RAW to be atleast better than Ambrose turning up,picking up a bunch of weapons and going off lol.I've basically always watched WWE for the storyline more than the in-ring stuff so bit disappointed how they've built up some of the matches.Hopefully the actual match turns out to be good and i am sure it will.

:'( RIP Kris Travis. So, so sad. Battled so hard with cancer, attempted a comeback after overcoming it once only for it to strike him down again. One of the most talented British wrestlers of his generation. Will be sorely missed. #ThankYouTrav.
