When Seth comes back do we immediately put him against Roman? Would love a face Seth going at it with Reigns for the gold.

Rumour is we get face Seth if that means pointing him at Hhh instead of Reigns I'd live with it.
I hope New Day still refer to Seth as their captain and jam out to his intro music.

Pratters, who do you think is the best worker in the biz? Not as an attempt to belittle you, but different people have different concepts of what 'good working' is.

Speaking purely as far as WWE goes, Seth Rollins and Cesaro for me. I really like Kewin Owens and Rusev as well. They give a good match day in and day out.

 

[Pratters]

I find it utterly selfish that Triple H comes in, has a match at the mania and doesn't even have his rematch at the next PPV btw. Just let me main event Mania, hey. Usually that's okay where a legend goes like say Undertaker. However, in the case of Triple H, he had a title, main evented Mania and got out of more wrestling for the time being. They may spin it as it being necessary as so many top wrestlers were injured but meh.

Word is Hhh fought pretty hard for Undertaker Shane to close the show and had for a.long while. Ridiculous statement Imo. This was never about HHH

Rubbish.

 

[King Pietersen]

It wasn't about Triple H. It was about WWE desperately trying to put Reigns over as a babyface, so stuck him in with the most hated heel in the company and had him spear Hunter's even more intolerable wife.

 

[Pratters]

Okay..

I'm going to assume Trips is injured thus no rematch, but yeah a rematch makes sense, I dunno maybe they are keeping it for a bigger PPV?

For what its worth its another Mania where Trips hasn't delivered a good match in the main event, his matches with Jericho and Orton were heatless and not worthy of closing and his first match with Taker was a spot fest, and I don't recall been blown away by his Brock effort. It hasn't all been duds, but you have to admit he doesn't always deliver at Mania. I think what makes the matches with Orton and Jericho more fascinating to analyse is that he actually has had some crackers with those guys outside Mania.

 

[Spikey]

I was dreading a boring re-match that just stagnated the whole scene for a month or so. It's a good thing he's forgone the re-match

if you're gonna get on his back for something, I reckon its the way he no sold the Shane thing. I don't think he ever acknowledged it? And Steph basically backed out after the first night. But then, I guess the thing turned out to be just a reason for Shane to do something stupidly dangerous.

Tbf to HHH, whilst his Mania matches have more often than not been pretty meh, he's been involved in some of the hottest storylines going into those shows. In particular his feuds with Batista, Undertaker, Orton, HBK/Benoit were all really really good. And like they say, in wrestling it's the journey that matters the most, not the destination. Even the storyline this year with Reigns wasn't that bad, especially given the circumstances.

Yes, am so relieved they've done this. Move on and give someone else the time at the top, although in this case, I suspect AJ is just being built up so he can be fed to Roman.

Building to Matanza vs Mil. This gonna be good.

Why is this such a bad thing?

The Taker match was great both times imo.

It's when he's closed the show he's failed though. Completely right about Jericho, Orton and Reigns. The four way at sixteen sucked too, and he was at his peak then. Though that was down to silly booking rather than anything on him.

Manias 20 through to 22 were all good to great matches though.

Raw worth watching?
