And whoever booked that Seth v Dean match should be fired. I hope Seth does not lose his Mania match v Brock over it as I don't really blame him for it.

Not arsed with what they do with Dean though.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah haven't really enjoyed Dean since his Ambrose feud. Kingpin of Smackdown Ambrose was genuinely pretty good, but not hard to be awesome with AJ Styles.

 

[sledger]

So the shake up = McMahon's in charge of everything. lmao

I can only imagine a 9 year old that thought Paige was in charge of Smackdown being totally and utterly devastated.

 

[sledger]

Ironically I've actually started to enjoy Baron Corbin. His go away heat is genuinely quite lolsy.

 

[Athlai]

Corbin is genuinely alright. Has “earned” the heat.

The inevitable Corbin vs. Angle wrestlemania match could be gun

the ****?

 

[Athlai]

You blokes can be so miserable about everything. Corbin possibly having an alright match blows your mind? FMD.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Less to do with Corbin and more to do with Kurt. He's shot.

 

[Niall]

Kurt is done aye. If you must do that match, have it a B PPV or Raw, Mania will be stacked.

Who will Bryan face at Mania? Rey probably faces Almas, Jeff won't be trusted with such a match and it won't be AJ.

Kofi, Big E,Finn?

They can experiment a little here I think as their is no obvious choices.

Hope its not v Miz though.

Yeah but who wants that? I mean really. Like I said earlier, the bloke has X-Pac heat. I'm not saying he's a bad worker who can't have a decent match, just that there is no reason on earth why I would want to see such a thing, notwithstanding the fact that Angle is finished.

I reckon he has one more match in him, and think a 15 minute slot at WM would be good. Whether to have Corbin retire him for heat, or have him go out on a high.

I’m pretty sure their intention was Jason Jordan or HHH was supposed to do it but due to injuries they’ve begun to shift Corbin (and admittedly McIntyre) into that spot.

Shane is an absolute trash worker, good at falling of stuff and nothing else. I'd hope if the **** must be on the card let him stink it up with Miz, but he Bryan is something that definitely could happen. Would be a shame as look at all the other good workers Bryan could do magic with, instead he would have to carry Shane.

I'd prefer if they called up Black than Shane tbh.

On the issue of Kurt, the Mania card will be stacked and if you have hacks like Shane then why bother with having a past it Kurt on the card? He isn't good enough anymore.

Ideally he stays retired, or if he must have a PPV match, he can do it on the PPV before Mania.

 

[Niall]

I'd assume Orton will stay heel also so that would rule him out and supposedly he v AJ is a runner for Mania.

Maybe Shaun? He can still go unlike the other oldies. Its not my first choice, but obviously preferable over Shane.

Yeah the Shane thing would be seriously dire but I think it'll happen. That said Shane in Survivor Series was pretty much booked as he should be. Knackered old bloke being asked to spam coast to coasts. Don't see how that would be particularly interesting against DBry though.

Likely Mania Card

Definitely on the Card

Universal Championship match - Lesnar vs. ? (Rollins/Strowman)
WWE Championship match - Bryan vs. ?
Raw Women's Championship - Rousey vs. Becky (vs. Charlotte?)
IC Title Match - ?
Smackdown Tag Match - Bar vs. Usos vs. New Day TLC please

Probably on the card

Smackdown Women's Championship - Asuka vs. Charlotte?
US Title - ?
Raw Tag Championship - ?
Cruiserweight Championship - ?
AGMBR
Women's Battle Royale

If they had all that they're still 4 short of the previous Mania

"Special Event matches" they had last year were
Angle + Rousey vs. HHH + Steph,
Undertaker vs. Cena,
DBry + Shane vs. KO + Sami
