I think when it comes to the attitude era there is a bias.  We remember all of the great moments of which there were many,  but there was also a lot of really terrible stuff surrounding it.  I wouldn't say it sucks ass but it's probably not as good as people remember. 

Harley should have won. 

I think with a 7 hour tape delay, AEW wanted to hold off for now and do a rematch later. Build it up more.

I think if they were going to do it,  Australia was the place. Could still work later.  We'll see.  

Tbh though I don't know if Harley can actually wrestle.  I've seen skits and she's funny, talented, and gorgeous but never seen a match with her.. Unless she's the absolute shits in the ring though I'd push her hard.

Gotta say, I have no idea where we're really heading for Mania. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Only two matches really feel set in stone. Gunther vs Jey Uso, and Charlotte vs Tiffany Straton. Aside from that... who knows.

HHH's style is kind of like reality TV. There is simmering tension between... well almost everyone. You could make a case at Mania for Cody vs Punk, Cody vs Cena, Cody vs Roman, Cody vs the Rock, Logan Paul vs Cena, Logan Paul vs AJ Styles, Bron Breaker vs Seamus, Breaker vs Logan Paul, Rollins vs Cody, etc.

Whether that's a good thing or not... eh I dunno. It's kind of fun to still be guessing at this point, but I also kind of want to have something to really sink my teeth into. Last year's Mania also had a strange build, and it all came together nicely, so we'll see if there's a method to the madness.

My current prediction is that we'll see CM Punk vs Cena vs Cody, and Bianca Belair vs Rhea with maybe Iyo Sky in the picture.



The promo between the Rock and Cody was awkward lol


But I'm all up for any crazy batshit storyline they are brewing.

My main issue with that was them talking about what great friends they became. After the Rock was brutalizing Cody on a weekly basis. Ruins the illusion a bit for me, y'know?



I still haven't seen last week's Smackdown.Also have yet to see this week's RAW. I'm falling off :D

But I have caught this week's NXT, and thee guys showed up

Matt has slowed down, and he looks like he's carrying an extra stone or two, but Jeff's athleticism surprised the crowd given their age and what this team has been through debuting in WWE in 1994. I still remember back in 2000 or so, people discussing that Jeff wouldn't be walking at the rate he was going. That he would die in the ring. He and Matt are still going.

Also, I'd love TNA to come to Netflix because they keep referencing it - but I have no access.

Very excited for tonight's event. It's very rare going into an event like this that I feel like I really have no idea who is going to win. Typically, I can at least narrow down each chamber match to like two candidates.



Women's chamber match was excellent. Everyone (except for Bayley) got a nice chance to shine. The intro angle was predictable but well done. Roxanne looked like she belonged. Liv Morgan has officially won me over as a main event talent. This was probably her best match. The right person went over. Rhea vs Bianca should be amazing. I would prefer they don't add Iyo, but that would still be good.



For fucks sake did they have a 10 minute commercial for the Rock in the middle of this ple XD.



Forgot this was happening tonight...but then am catching the men's chamber match live. Will watch the rest tomorrow.

Did not see that coming. This may be looked back on as the day the PG era officially died.

Edit: Double did not see that coming. Better 10 years too late than never? No idea if this will work out, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued.
