Well there you go, I was right but I really didn't want to be. I don't know the fan reaction of the match since I read the results but it appears that Bryan has now gave his fans to Reigns with the handshake. Well Played McMahon. Looks like Bryan is now going down the ladder and could be facing Sheamus again with his return. I really don't think Reigns is WWE World Heavyweight Champion material yet. He is not very interesting as a character.

Cena losing by Submission was a first in a long time, really great seeing Rusev being put over and Cena showing a weakness.
 
Wasn't a bad PPV at all really for something that was really a jazzed up edition of Raw, got new Tag champs which freshens things up a bit, Goldust v Stardust wasn't good and it just had the feeling that they were going to go at it again in five weeks, Nikki v Paige wasn't good either, 6 man tag was OK, Orton made his return after the bell (strange way for him to come back), Cena/Rusev was good and they will probably go again in five weeks, the confrontation between Sting and HHH was OK and it was good to see HHH dressed up for a fight....shame Sting didn't speak, match of the night went to Reigns and Bryan which was really good with a slightly predictable finish, the crowd reaction to the main event was much more favourable than at the Rumble!
 
I just hate how Bryan/Roman finished cleanly. It makes Bryan look bad which will downgrade him especially if that handshake was successful in turning Bryans fans over to Roman
 
If the social networks are to be believed, I might have a reason to catch up on tonights RAW...
 
Raw was OK last night, Orton is back with the Authority, but don't worry as you can tell he has something up his sleeve!, The Andre the Giant Battle Royal will be back at 'mania with three participants already confirmed The Bushwackers will be inducted in to the HOF this year, Brock Lesnar was not on Raw despite being advertised to be there, no-one really knows what's going on there

Three matches confirmed for Wrestlemania, Lesnar/Reigns, Triple H/Sting and the Battle Royal, Undertaker/Wyatt and Cena/Rusev not yet confirmed....
 
I'll be in the huge minority here and say, I personally found Steve Austin overrated. I didn't grow up in the attitude era (mine was the ruthless aggression era). To me, Steve Austin was just a rebel beer drinking version of John Cena. Though he isn't as bad as Hulk Hogan, IMO. Probably my favourite moments in the Attitude era are from Mick Foley, his matches were very fun to watch and enjoyed Foleys' passion to go through what he does.
 
Brock and WWE had a "Business" falling out, no real details about it yet but it caused Brock to walk out before Raw even went on the air. Reports though are that it isn't to do with creative.

Interesting. Though this looks bad for Wrestlemania.
 
The reason has come out. It was about the terms of a new contract, he also wants to fight for UFC whilst under a wwe contract.
 
They should let him fight for UFC at the same time if that's the case, give him the same contract he is on now with the same PPV dates and appearances and have him fight in-between, I mean, what's he doing when he is not on WWE right now??
 
TNA do the same thing with Lashley, although he is Wrestling a lot more than Lesnar is, Lashley fights for Bellator and his fights get mentioned on TNA commentary, they have had a little cross promotion going on between the two companies for a little while now and other fighters like Rampage Jackson pop up every once in a while on Impact to promote up coming fights, I doubt they would do the same thing between WWE and UFC though...
 
Brock Lesnar was at the UFC show last night and was spotted talking to Dana White...

As you probably know, Rey Mysterio has left WWE after they brought his contract expiry date forward by mutual consent, he hasn't appeared on TV since the Raw after WM30 last year and was plagued with injuries for much of his time there but he is a former World Champion and made the most of his talents and career, I wish him well...
 
Raw was OK last night, enjoyed the Rollins/Jon Stewart seg and Paul Heyman gave the promo of the year so far and insulted Lilian Garcia in the process, wasn't much in the way of in ring action but the main event was good, Roman Reigns was not over at all, the crowd just didn't react to him..

Alundra Blayze/Madusa is the latest inductee into this years HOF, she is a former three time Women's Champion who wrestled for both WWE and WCW, speaking of Divas....AJ IS BACK!!...
 
Okay, I was going to start a totally new thread with this, but I've been kinda looking back at some older wrestling lately, and I want some opinions.

What is your personal dream match? Go wild.

Mine would have to be Shawn Michaels versus The Rock. Maybe make it a ladder match for the WWE championship, to up the ante a little bit. JR and King on commentary, of course.
 
I usually don't have dream matches. Especially when there is no Brand Extension, back then Raw Superstar vs. Smackdown superstar were pretty nice :P. Though while not Pro Wrestling, I would love see CM Punk fight Lesnar in UFC; The Best vs. The Beast II (though weight divisions will prevent the dream)

Wrestlemania 31 is looking pretty strong and not for the Main Event. The IC Title match looks to get my attention the most and appears to honour the annual MitB Ladder match at WM before the MitB PPV began.

Personally, I loved the Jon Steward/Seth Rllins brief angle. The only good celebraty guess, IMO.

I'm thinking the Intercontinental Title match could be start of what Daniel Bryan wanted to do in the first place (being the face of Smackdown).

2 weeks in a row, Smackdowns main focus is the Intercontinental Championship match and there has been hints that Daniel Bryan will participate in it. If Daniel Bryan does participate and wins. It could start a new life on Smackdown with it being centered around the Intercontinental Title.
 
Just reading up on the Bill DeMott allegations, he sounds like a complete dick and I bet most of the workers there are glad to see the back of him!

Also I read this week that Samoa Joe is in negotiations with the WWE and they are teasing an Undertaker return to Raw this week..
