Asuka's wrestlemania status? She dropped the Smackdown Women's Championship belt in a random title match last night.
She later tweeted 'done' which has all the marks falling over themselves |

Battle Royale for the women and a number 1 contendership.
They will have an undisputed women's champion at the end of this Mania I reckon.

It looks like they may be doing away with the brand extension.

I doubt that.
Especially given the move to Fox for Smackdown. I think they are fannying around the now, but will redefine it for that move.

Oh yeah. Now I remember. There was also some talk a while back about putting Brock on Smackdown and other moves to make the program more edgy for the network move. Around that time there was speculation that the next draft would be the biggest ever with NXT:UK and 205 Live also involved
I'm liking Kurt Angles 'Farewell Tour' with final matches against old WWE and TNA foes. Certainly a journey is better than the destination affair. That mania match booking needs sorting out.

Didn't Angle already do a Farewell Tour when he left TNA?

I want Seth to go over this Sunday.
Also, Smackdown may be going 3 hours like RAW.

That belt has been unlucky from day 1. And I once thought HHH was a belt hogger.
Will any of you be giving AEW a chance?

Post by Andy Turnbull on Apr 1, 2019 21:56:38 GMT
Yup, will give AEW a go. I love Jericho, so was always going to give his post WWE career a follow.
Hope AEW can be the game changer TNA might have been had they not had Dixie, Russo and then Hogan and Bischoff running things.

Sounds like Jericho has taken up the most lucrative deal of his career. Worth every penny! There isn't many wrestlers still around with his level of experience.

Certainly did. Can't believe there are 'Bret screwed Bret' sympathisers on Twitter defending that guy and claiming he 'did nothing'. Some folk are so deluded.
I've just finished watching Bret's speech. I'm glad things got back on track.

They need to split Mania over two nights now.
The 5 and a half hour card and then 2 hour kick off show is too much. It's a hostage situation not entertainment!

A few minor quibbles about Mania, but I'd have to say it's probably the best Mania in years.

Monday Night Raw.
What a pointless show.
Nice to see Lars Sullivan.
What's the point of having Sami Zayn come out and try a heel turn. The crowd were NEVER going to let that one go. And the main event. Textbook on how to lose a crowd's goodwill.

A few minor quibbles about Mania, but I'd have to say it's probably the best Mania in years. Finally watched it and I'd agree. The two gazillion people tag matches probably the weakest. A shame Samoa Joe match was so short. Wondered why he got hit with a 619 so early. Cena / Elias felt like last year, but added twist from Cena made it ok. |
