Asuka is one of the few reasons I watch WWE. To have her screwed 12 days before Wrestlemania is heartbreaking.

I agree, them scrapping the SD Women's Title match from the card just to prop up Charlotte, who's not gonna win, anyway was just stupid and pointless.

Hell, I could actually see them pulling a TNA here and have Charlotte defend the SD Women's Championship so Becky wins BOTH Women's titles, you know, kinda like when they had Kurt Angle win every single belt.

I don’t want the unify scenarios to happen. Keep the titles separate so more people get opportunities

Or they might have Becky hold and defend both titles at once like they did RVD, having him hold and defend the then ECW and WWE Titles simultaneously.

And the sad thing is, I could totally see them doing this.

Yeah, I really hope they don’t unify the titles. The superstar shakeup is still advertised to be two weeks after mania, so that’s one sign pointing towards keeping the titles separate. And if Becky wins just the raw titles, the four NXT horsewomen will hold all the women gold, and I could see them doing a moment about it the next night 



Superstar Shakeup? You mean that night when Raw gets all of the popular Superstars and Smackdown gets all of the people Raw screwed up?

The WM35 card is terrible.

I'd call it mediocre...so yeah, for 'the biggest event of the year' it's terrible. 

As of right now the only match that has me genuinely excited is Ronda/Becky/Charlotte. 

Brock Vs Seth is going to be terrible. I'm genuinely unsure if even Seth Rollins can get a compelling match out of Brock (I've not liked anything he's done since 2012)

Buddy Murphy vs Tony Nese will be good but literally nobody will care and I'd put money on it being on the pre-show

HHH vs Batista would have been good a decade ago. Batista can't go and even HHH is waning. boring. boo. 

Kurt Angle vs Baron Co-...I can't even finish it. BAD (But if the rumours of John Cena replacing him are true, that....would be better but still bad. Kurt just can't wrestle anymore.) 

Shane vs Miz is dumb. a joke. I don't know how Shane matches are 'Wrestlemania' outside of Nepotism. 

AJ Styles Vs Randy Orton COULD steal the show but Randy hasn't cared in years and as good as AJ is I don't think it's enough. 

Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio. I bet it'll be a squash. I love both participants but I don't see this being all that engaging. 

Women's Tag Championship match could be good but I bet it'll inevitably come down to Jax/Tamina and Boss'n'Hug and that's terrible. 

Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston could be another barn-burner but I don't trust WWE to not overbook it. 

I always love the battle royales but WWE doesn't give a shit about them and they end up on the pre-show so nobody cares. 

Honestly, if most of these matches were happening outside of WWE (or on NXT) I'd be genuinely excited. Brock was once a beast, Rollins is amazing, the 205 Live guys are consistently fun to watch, HHH and Batista are two of the best and most compelling big men in the last 20 years, Kurt Angle is one of the best of all time, AJ and Randy are also two of the best of all time with gloriously clashing styles, Miz is boring and bland but Shane has a history of doing stupid shit that's fun to watch. Rey Mysterio and Samoa Joe are veterans and are both outstanding at what they do, and Bryan and Kofi Kingston are both veterans. 

Nearly every person on the roster, on the card are good to great, but I've only seen a modicum of passion for the womens Triple Threat main event and Kofi/Bryan. I mean, Rollins keeps having arguments with Paul Heyman but even Paul can't get me to give a shit about Brock anymore. I don't have a problem with brock not giving a shit {it is a JOB, doesn't have to be about passion and if I could sit on my ass most of the week and get paid more than anyone else on the roster I would too) ...but he's boring, he's repetitive, and his matches suuuuuuuck. all of them. I literally hate the brock matches the most of any card I can remember; ESPECIALLY his match with Bryan. That was a great match for about 3 minutes, the rest was utter trash boring nonsense with the same german suplex ad nauseum until the F5. I hate his matches, I hate how he just runs through everyone, and he devalues the Universal championship. I hate it, I hate him, and I am pretty convinced at this point Rollins is going to lose just to build him up more. He USED to be great, genuinely one of the best, but ever since he came back in 2012 I've found him boring as fuck and I don't give a shit if he's 'legit' due to MMA. Rousey adopted a WWE style and she was more dominant than he ever was AND she had a great acting career AND she works Raw AND she's there every PPV AND she's genuinely a grea tlearner and if she does come back after having a kid she could go on to be one of the best...as long as she doesn't get boring. 

Boring. Brock is boring *Clap, clap, clapclapclap*

I should stop ranting, tis is getting silly.

Triple H is one of the few guys Batista actually works hard against and he said he would only come back for one more match against The Game, so who knows? He just might bring it, but 5 years of ring rust and age and Triple H declining himself doesn't bode well for this match. It could be okay, it COULD be, but nothing to get hyped over apart from nostalgia at this juncture.

Same reason why I wasn't really feeling the rumored Brock vs. Stone Cold match at Mania a few years ago. The nostalgia would be off the charts, but we all know the match itself wouldn't be very good for obvious reasons ("not very good" is an understatement coming from these two).

HA, I called it.  

Did WWE rehire Vince Russo?
