6666 Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Watching old PPVs in a short amount of time really does bring home how boring Triple H matches are. Not all wrestlers are great in the ring, most of the biggest names in wrestling history have a limited move set but they find a way to be entertaining and charismatic during matches. Triple H doesn't. And he has to get his 20mins+ everytime. 1 Quote

Smackdown without having the 'star power' pissed all over it. 1 Quote
Dave Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Predictions this weekend? WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Drew McIntyre Save Drew's big moment for a crowd. Universal Championship: Goldberg (c) vs. Braun Strowman Really depends if Goldberg is willing to extend his deal. What a depressing mess this situation is. Raw Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Shayna Baszler Becky to win and then they'll scramble to think of new ideas for her. NXT Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair I just dont see Charlotte's long term future in NXT. Last Man Standing: Edge vs. Randy Orton Hopefully a good end to a good storyline. Boneyard Match: The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles Looking forward to this one. Cant see WWE putting AJ on Brock/Roman level with a W. Firefly Fun House Match: John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt Please for the love of god dont bury Bray again SmackDown Women's Championship Fatal 5-Way Elimination: Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Naomi vs. Lacey Evans vs. Tamina Hopefully the ending will lead to a Bayley / Sasha storyline. Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Daniel Bryan Looking forward to this one. Been impressed with how everybody involved has helped carry the show in the last couple of weeks. Kevin Owens vs, Seth Rollins I didnt realise how good Seth's WM record is. Let KO have his moment. SmackDown Tag Team Championship Ladder Match: John Morrison and The Miz (c) vs. The Usos vs. New Day I dont mind who wins this one. All three are good teams Raw Tag Team Championships: Street Profits (c) vs. Angel Garza and Austin Theory Raw tag divison has taken a pretty big shafting since Covid19 but Street Profits have been entertaining for a considerable period of time. WWE Women's Tag Team Championships: Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross New Champs may just give new life to a dead division. King Corbin vs. Elias Hopefully a short quick comedy match with little damage done to withers reputations. Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler I've actually quite enjoyed this storyline. Let Otis have his moment. Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley AB to keep his momentum going. God knows when they'll fully press the trigger though. 1 Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 4, 2020 Administrator Posted April 4, 2020 Agree with all of those barring the last 3 which I don't have any time for and also Orton to beat Edge. Watched Wrestlemania Legendary Moments on BT Sport which aired the other day. Brought back some very fond memories and nostalgic moments . Gonna be so weird watching some of the matches tonight and tomorrow with no crowd. Wrestlemania is famed for shocking moments and it just won't be the same with having no reactions to them. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Otis to win Elias to win Oldberg to win Bryan to win Miz and morrison to win Drew to beat lesnar Shayna to win Bliss and Cross Street profits Sasha banks KO Bray Wyatt Rhea ripley Orton Undertaker Black to beat Lashley Edited April 4, 2020 by Devil-Dick Willie Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Cesaro just won on the kick off show. Fuck me this is depressing already. this isn't mania, and it should never have gone ahead like this Quote

They'll forget to mention the years of them being shafted by part timers of course. Quote
Machado Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Why was the fight so short? Are they making every fight this short thinking longer fights will be too boring? Quote
Dave Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I swear this opening video has gone on longer than the Cesaro Gulak match. 1 Quote

Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 First match was shit. I honestly think Asuka doesn't give a SINGLE fuck anymore Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 4, 2020 Administrator Posted April 4, 2020 Corbyn vs Elais was rubbish as well. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Which is a shame because Elias can go They fucked up Beckys entrance. Badly. How do you fuck it up? Have her theme playing when she rocks up in the truck, have her climb out, then cut to the shot of the ramp, and have her come down. Instead she arrives in complete silence, honks twice, then they cut to Shaynas entrance. I feel like Jim Cornette right now Quote

I'm done for the night. Will watch & catch up on what happened tomorrow! Quote
Machado Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Very good match to be fair, come on. That finish Quote
Dave Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I must say I really enjoyed that Boneyard match. 100% they'll do something similar with Sting next year. Quote

I'm guessing Rollins has no ribs left Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Kabuki warriors vs Bliss and Cross. Mediocre, some shit work in the finish though. 2/5. Prediction correct Corbin vs Elias. Corbin is too big for Elias's best moves. Elias is too big for Corbins best spots. 2/5. Prediction correct Becky vs Shana. Match was good up til the finish. Shana should have won that for sure. 3/5 Prediction incorrect Ladder match. Good work, JOMO is a freak, always was. 3.5/5 prediction correct Rollins vs a hamster. KO and Rollins did what they could, but this match desperately needed a crowd. 3/5 Prediction correct Bryan vs Zayn. I was hoping Sami would wrestle. He didn't. I'm not even sure he can anymore. 1.5/5 Prediction incorrect Strowman vs Oldberg. What a piece of shit -5 stars out of 5 prediction incorrect. Undertaker vs Styles. This wasn't a match per say but it was entertaining. Prediction correct. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I'm beating the palace fan 4-5 in predictions. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 5, 2020 Administrator Posted April 5, 2020 Forgot about that Daniel Bryan/Sami Zayn match. That tells you how memorable it was. That wasn't even fit for an amateur wrestling competition. Embarrassing that made it to a WM match. Quote
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted April 5, 2020 Subscriber Posted April 5, 2020 Boneyard match was probably the only positive thing of that first day? Quote
