RIP Christian's balls.

I don’t even pay attention to ratings anymore. Dynamite is must watch television every week…at least for me. It is everything I want in a two hour wrestling show. Lots of variety and great wrestling.

Plus as long as Warner is happy and it seems like they are then tv ratings to me don’t mean much.

I skim through collusion and rampage via dvr but don’t watch live unless there is something I really want to see. Those shows are on at times I’m usually doing other things.

Oh yeah wasn’t meant as a dig. Just that they’re going to stack the free shows because ratings have been rough. Attendance too, for that matter. They need to do something to get people excited again.

Awesome opening and closing matches... could have done without the rest of the show.

Yeah agree. Women’s match wasn’t bad either. Too much focus on the tag tourney though I get why it’s happening. Not much drama there.

it's not so much the tourney as the fact that there is zero drama in the matches.

it's clearly setup to have the Bucks-FTR 4 at the PPV, where the Bucks will heel it up and get their win (and the belts back). Along the way, we of course have to drag OC and Trent along for... reasons...

And teams like Mox and Claudio are not even in the tournament despite just beating FTR?

it's weird because they have so many good tag teams, yet they can't produce an interesting tournament out if it?

I feel like I'm the last remaining WWE guy on here, but man this build to Mania has been fantastic. It's really fun to be legit excited about a Wrestlemania again. Feels like that hasn't been the case in the last few years. Side note, The Rock's Bloodline entrance is absolute fire.

Is there any faster way to lose momentum in a show these days than to bring out Jericho?

Yeah he truly is the worst.

First two matches were great though. Love they are putting Ospreay on every week.

Great closing segment.

Good stuff indeed.

Lynch/Ripley was a really solid opener. Not sure I love that basically every title holder is in a 300+ day reign but that seems to be a staple of HHH’s WWE.

I also could do without the 10 minute long ad breaks between each match.

Just flipped it in. Mad I missed Rhea/becky. I think I know 2 people in this ladder match…Balor and Kofi.

This match is a mess so far. Turns out 12 people is too many people.

Truth does the 5 moves of doom better than Cena.

Those last two spots….yikes.

Good for Rtruth.

That turned into a decent car crash. The ref desperately trying to tell Priest that the ladder was broken kinda fumbled the ending a bit but botchamania will be happy at least.

I miss when Wrestlemania was a 3-4 hour one night show.

Yeah two nights is too much. Especially two 4 hour shows or however long these are.

The crowd noise seems real weird and kind of artificial during these intros.

During the matches seems fine though.

I hate the setup and the 619 as a move.

WWE would never sweeten the crowd noise.

That match was not good.

One of the weakest finishing moves out there

That was cool hype video for the usos.
