[3/28 - 3/29/15] WWE WrestleMania XXXI: Santa Clara, California

[patscorpio]

one thing i wanna mention again..brock once again delivering on an interesting match..that dude is a one in a million talent...and unfortunately, for the wwe, knows it and his worth....its a shame he looks at wrestling as a money hustle but hey get it how you live..setup for brock-seth rollins match is guaranteed to be ridiculous

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Been hard on Reigns and the booking of him in general, but I have to give him props for his gradual change of demeanor during the match. I wasn't expecting any good psychology in this but he played his part well.

Came in looking tough, not-acknowledging fans as he entered the ring. Almost had that "yeah I'm winning tonight, deal with it" swag going on. Then as Brock was manhandling him he showed the emotion of being humbled, and took the ass whooping like a champ. Was tough not to show him pity a few times. What I enjoyed the most (other than Seth cashing in) was Roman's reactions when Brock was staggering after that ring post spot, with the "holy shyt I may be able to do this" look on his face.

With that said I don't think he should sniff a title run for the rest of the year, but I have to give him props for pulling off the performance he did, especially after being penciled to win all these months, and watching that dream crumble over the past week once Brock re-signed.

Now hopefully the E can keep this storyline hot and not cut it at the knees like they usually do post Mania/Raw.

When Roman was laughing taking that beating

The end sequence with the flurry of Superman punches and spears was fukking awesome had me forgetting about the screw they gave DB.

Roman will be just fine if they keep him like this, dude was the best part about Shield at one point, I just need to see some type of worksmanship outta dude before I can hop back on the train.

 

[R=G]

The thread would have hit 200 pages if thr site wasnt going slow. Wish we could lock TSC for pay per view events. fukk those guests

It was pretty slow after the first couple of hours...took a long while for every post.

Servers can handle a Superbowl but not a Wrestlemania

The Network was on point, I'm gonna cancel. If they keep the same business model with no commitment I'll re-up for Summerslam.

 

[TheGodling]

I called it btw.

Roman will be better than anyone expects him to be, or wants him to be.

pretty much..this was a great step in terms of his abilities but i wanna see a complete breakout peformance like his fam umaga did against john cena in that last man standing match...before that i didnt think much of umaga after that i never doubted umaga again (R.I.P.)..reigns has it in him..he's samoan gotdammit

Look for the fat fukk in the crowd sweating bacon grease......although it's a wrasslin event so that may not narrow it down

Should have told him to look for the black fat fukk sweating bacon grease. That narrows it down to people wearing red

 

[Silkk]

Seth's BEEN protected since The Shield split up. People were so hell bent on shytting on Roman that they loved to completely ignore that.

Nope. fukk outta here witcho flip floppin' ass.



You should be hanged, flayed & beheaded for treason


Anyway, I watched the last 40 minutes like

so I'll catch the battle royal and fatal 4 way later today.

 

[Silkk]

He'll be more "over" as a face than Copeland ever could have dreamed of in his life. Get real breh.

He said as a heel nikka

That slow motion replay of the slap

That shyt had me and the brehs on sight.

 

[Theabbot]

Do y'all think the Lenar cut was due to a botch? He was pretty close to that pole he got pushed into. I wonder if he didn't have enough time to properly protect himself. He definitely didn't blade.
The color added a whole new spin on that match.

 

[InstantKlassik]

And to the peeps on here who said that Lesnar can only have a great match when he's in the ring with an experienced guy who can lead and map out the twists and turns throughout the match. Last night's main event was dope and the direction of it was all dictated by Lesnar.

 

[R=G]

The blood had to be planned...the commentators acknowledged it over and over again as a sign of Reigns' toughness.

I've rewatched that a couple of times and he definitely bleeds hardway. Heyman strangely positioned himself around the other side of the ring so I can only assume they were planning to claret the hardway and planned the spot that way, and Heyman was set up nearby to check he was okay. I was legit concerned he was concussed for a moment. Testament to what a great performer Lesnar is.
