Knocked out by Joey Styles brilliant stuff.

I heard about this. Ive seen Justin Roberts, Ivory and Blue Meanie mention his bullying too. I wonder what CM Punk had to say about 'be a star' before his mic got turned off. Shame as Mauro is the best commentator since JR. His passion and knowledge adds to everything.

Yeah, Soccer AM should have just gone once Tim Lovejoy went and Helen Chamberlain got old. Absolute cringe now. Oh and when Max Rushden talks about 'Soccer AM the glory days' I just want to punch him him. 'The Glory Days' were long before he had anything to do with the programme.

Good luck to him. England misses characters like Tony Adams. Really hope he finds a niche role somewhere in football.

I think Chris Hero, Eric Young, Roderick Strong and Killian Dain could step up if needed. They're getting an influx of established Ring Of Honor guys later on in the year too. The rosters going to be the most experienced it ever has at this rate.

I'm quite surprised Drew McIntyre wasn't just put straight on Smackdown given his previous affiliation to the company. He'd have contributed to the roster playing his face character very well. Him rejoining WWE is a massive loss to the rest of the Wrestling World especially the fast growing British Wrestling Scene.

The draw last night was interesting. I've grown up with Smackdown always getting dicked on in these drafts so it's rare to see an even draft. The New Day moving to Smackdown makes perfect sense. With the amount of teams on Raw now they could have found themselves easily getting left out. Moving should extend their longevity. Rusev should really benefit from the draft. They were running out of ideas for him on Raw. I imagine the scriptwriters on Smackdown will think of something interesting for Sami Zayn too. I'm not sure what to make of Charlotte and Kevin Owens coming over. I expect them both to boss it but from a raitings and quality perspective you'd think the creative team would want to keep them on Raw. Still as somebody who enjoys watching Smackdown I shouldn't complain. As for the others, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sin Cara, The Shining Stars, Tamina or Jinder Mahal released in the next twelve months but at least now they will have a to impress on a smaller roster where they should get a fair amount of exposure.

I agree about the draft. Raw may be struggling now the part timers have gone but Smackdown as a product is still a very good watch. I don't see why they couldn't hold off for another two months. **DRAFT SPOILERS** After seeing the draft choices to Raw the only one i'm in favour of is Dean Ambrose. That was inevitable really as he's done the main event scene on Smackdown and now WWE can tease a Shield reunion. I'm very surprised AJ Styles wasn't bought over too for a Shield / Bullet Club rivalry. Curt Hawkins also makes sense as it's sad to see Sami Zayn jobbing given the position he was in last year. As for the rest of them I think moving to Raw could kill the momentum of both The Miz and Alexxa Bliss who have really benefitted from the draft in the first place. Apollo Crews still had more to offer I reckon and Kalisto really should head off to 205 live. Mickie James could find herself getting lost on a more talented womens roster whilst Heath Slater and Rhino now look destined to be jobbers again. The biggest dissapointment for me though is Bray Wyatt. Finally he made it to a Championship position with a great storyline involving Randy Orton and now he's going to spend a year putting people over and people will consider this a mistake in a years time. What I would have liked to have seen happen would have been AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Eric Rowan, Mojo Rowley, Curt Hawkins, Breezedangos, Becky Lynch and Carmella as the people to go to Raw. All would have added something to brand and would have kept or sped up there momentum

In a way that is not a bad thing having a season where teams have little to say about you in The Championship. Teams usually in this predicament now end up having a good season next season as the foundations and stability is there.

He will never properly turn heel now. Just like John Cena. The scriptwriters know how people feel about him and they love it. That whole promo on Monday Night Raw with the fans chanting 'fuck you Roman' and booing him for ten minutes could be the most heel reaction i've ever seen, and a simple yet boring sentence was the perfect response.

Completely agree with everything you've said there abouts Roman Reigns and AJ Styles. I wish AJ Styles wrestled Undertaker as if anybody could make him look good it would be him. Regarding The Hardy Boyz gimmick, there is an arguement that by winning the titles they've shown theyre 'the greatest tag team in all space and time' by holding all three major titles in less than a month. Technically ending that storyline. It would be a damn shame if we never see Senor Benjamin or Vanguard One again. I hope vince runs with it.

I'm genuinely struggling to think of the last time my jaw dropped and I was so psyched at the same time for a whole Wrestle Mania match. Absolute class moment.

Spoilers - Don't read if you still intend to watch Wrestle Mania. Overall that was a very good showing, but unfortunately a lot of people judge a Pay Per View by the final match and for me that could have been scripted a lot better. I understand why they did it as now the legacy of Roman Reigns is cemented forever. Even if they lay off his push as the leader of the company he will never drop as Lex Luger did because he has a convincing victory over the Dead Man to his record. He's the Guy that will forever be known as the person who retired The Undertaker and is now in a position where he can be justified as the unstoppable force in WWE. The only thing that annoys me is how they've done it. Since he won his Slammy after being injured for a third of the year people recognised what was happening. He was going to be chosen over the other Shield members and Daniel Bryan to be the person to lead the company after John Cena. I wasn't against it as he looked the part and could hold a half decent match but when you have as many fans at live shows revolt on the multiple occassions that they did you have to alter the approach. Making him heel with Heyman as a Manager would have been perfect, but like John Cena they were content on getting him cheered and I think that still harms him. Because of that his weeknesses are highlighted more. He hasn't got Cena's charisma or likeability factor, and he's also showed himself to be absolutely terrible at selling a match. The whole main event was pretty painful to watch. They teased a whole 'new era' bollocks with AJ Styles and the NXT guys last year but when it comes to the big events, the ones that people remember, the ones where everybody around the world takes notice, the inner politics involing Roman Reigns and the part timers always seems to take centre statge. Unfortunately nothing will change any time soon as the script writers did a very good job in ending it so Roman Reigns wouldn't turn heel and hurt his merchandise figures (anybody who goes to a live event will know why him and Cena out sell everybody else), and the fans wouldn't be able to do a WCW revolt by the way The Undertaker left the ring. To focus on more positive the return of The Hardy Boyz was probably one of my favourite Wrestle Mania moments of all time. Everything from how they were announced, to the flow of the match, to the moves they performed, to the stunt Jeff Hardy did to how they got the crowd going at the end was played out magnificent. If you want to bring somebody back from the past that's how you do it. I was plesently surprised how much I liked the Lesnar / Goldberg match. We knew it was going to be short and lack moves but jesus it was as intense as it could have been. Then there was the Shane McMahon/AJ Styles where Shane really did surprise me. AJ Styles can work against anybody. I know he's not got that Roman Empire build but if he was in the ring against an ageing Undertaker I imagine the match would have been of a far better quality. As expected the womens matches and the crusierweight match didn't disappoint. I think all those matches had the right outcomes too. Infact I think every match apart from Roman Reigns and Mojo Rawlley's wins had the correct outcomes. If The Deadman was allowed to go out in to the sunset I would have said this has been one of the best Wrestle Mania's ever. I did have a couple more gripes. The ending to the Randy Orton / Bray Wyatt and the Kevin Owens / Chris Jericho matches could have been a lot better given how good the matches were. I anticipated that they were rushed on time with that. John Cena and Nikki Bella's moment was cringe as hell. I would have liked to have seen Samoa Joe and Finn Balor interfere in the Triple H / Seth Rollins match instead of having a similar finish to the year before too Then there was the kick off show. I have no idea what Dean Ambrose / Baron Corbin was doing on the kick off show. They must have been fuming to make way for Pitbull. The Andre The Giant Battle Royal was a complete waste of time again. Anything that screams problem with decision making the most in WWE it's the attitude of 'let the former football player with celebrity friends win a big match'. I'd give it an 8/10 overall. Better than last year, but not as good as the year when Seth left as The Champion.

With the amount of times you referenced Mark Warbuton I have to ask... who are you trying to convince here? Us or yourself?

Without giving away anything... some of the matches I wasnt looking forward to turned out to be really good, one moment is possibly one of my favourite wrestlemania moments ever, and there were three matches I was disappointed with which I don't want to overshadow what was otherwise a good show.

It's great but it's got a tendency to freeze in the middle of a big match.

So tonight is the night... Will Brock Lesnar and Goldberg have a long match? Will Roman Reigns beat The Undertaker? Will Shane McMahon be the only one allowed to perform a big stunt again? Will John propose to Nikki? Does anybody really care about any of the above questions? Is this the most boring WrestleMania line up in history?

Sounds like WWE have clocked on that Roman Reigns beating Undertaker is going to cause a riot that's going to ruin the Brock / Goldberg match so they're going to put the Roman match on last.

Been going gym five times a week and having one 'cheat day' a week since January. Want to get back down to a 36 chest and 32 waist this year. Currently at 37/33.

Another summer of explaining to people why our transfer valuations are so high. I cannot wait.

Family tree loop hole? He was born in Ivory Coast. Did Nigerian born Victor Moses do the same thing? I don't blame him for picking another nationality. If I was as talented as he is and was constantly left out for underperforming drovel associated with a top club I think id look elsewhere and score a brilliant solo effort against Russia too.

Yannick Bolasie.

In Zahas position there is plenty of top six talent available that has always been preferred to him once they've played some form of first team football.

Gareth Southgate has said Wilfried Zaha didn't have the passion to play for England. I'm sorry but what planet is that spanner on. What's Zaha meant to think when he constantly gets ignored for players like Lingard and Townsend. Id argue that he showed more passion in creating that goal for himself against Russia the other night than any of those fuckwits did against Russia in Euro 2016 and similarly shitter opposition in Iceland and Slovenia. I can't say id use passion as a word to describe our performances since either. England have lost out on a player who can add something different to our squad because of an unhealthy FA obsession of picking players from a top six club.

The face of the WOS brand on ITV looks like it's going to be Nick Aldis. Probably the best name they could have hoped for alongside Drew Galloway given Stu Bennett is focused on acting. Interestingly WWE are plugging their United Kingdom tour with the stars from The UK Tournament more.
