Goddamn did he hulk it down!





NEW DAY ....... ROCKS!

RIP Hayabusa.

[MisterHentai]

So ummm..... yeah ..... dat Hulk Hogan $$$ right?

[MisterHentai]

Well...... Nakamura vs Sami Zayn was just full of pure awesome!

Not only that, but to see the Nakamura and NJPW strong style-isms done and told in a WWE ring is just

Kota Ibushi ringside at the event too.

And Asuka also wins the NXT Womens Championship from Bayley, with an abrupt submission chokeout. When was the last time a championship match ended like that in WWE?

NXT JapaneseTakeOver: Dallas.




Vince, better take note if you don't want Wrestlemania to be a shit show in two days time

[MisterHentai]

About time this came back.

[The-JoeBlack]

Love the colours on the new Women's title. Hate that it looks like a cheap kids toy with just the dumb WWE logo on the front. Bring back the damn winged eagle!!

NXT Takeover I give 9 out of 10. Nakamura and Zayn was awesome. Best tag match of the year from American Alpha imo. Surprised Balor retained.

Wrestlemania 32 I gave a 1 out of 10. What a steaming heap of shit. So much potential all wasted.

Update: Just cancelled my WWE network subscription.

[MisterHentai]

Yeah for pure wrestling, NXT TakeOver: Dallas blew Wrestlemania 100 times over.

Still, there were a few high points for Wrestlemania though.



^^^^ That was hilariously awesome and fits them well!

Zack Ryder finally getting the recognition he deserves, Baron Corbin winning the battle royal , Shaquille's size over Big Show , the Women's triple threat match (Apart from some botches, least these three are all former NXT people too!), and Shane's obvious stunt spot that actually had me cringing given his age, but hory sheeet, he still has it. Shame that outcome was pretty lame. So much for change . Seeing GiantBomb related signs in the crowd gave me extra chuckles though.




Obvious main event end was obvious. Funny thing is the match itself was actually not that bad, but the crowd reaction and predictability really killed it off.


Not gonna lie though, Steph's theatrical as fuck intro and her Sindel look is quite




NJPW's Invasion Attack 2016 is this coming Sunday too, so at least that will make up for this disappointing show.

Lucha Underground seems like a beast with all that temple shit. Anyone else watches it?

[MisterHentai]

Haven't caught up to Season 2 yet. Although the current news and rumours for Prince Puma/Ricochet is interesting.



As for this post-Wrestlemania RAW......

They made an excuse for Shane to "control" this RAW only.

Poor Zack Ryder, losing the IC belt to the Miz straight away. But hey, at least his Wrestlemania moment was worth it, and this looks to be a setup for a feud between the two. That hot potato IC belt is back on again. But seeing Maryse back though .

That was certainly a quick way to get rid of King Barret. (In reality he asked for his release). Shame since he had so much potential but constant injuries and WWE just wasting him dragged him down.

As for NXT to main roster debuts. Apollo Crews is now here. Enzo and Cass made their debut and what a promo! Vaudevillians get their debut on Smackdown as well which is kind of sad but I guess they can't have two NXT teams show up straight away.

And hory sheeet that 4-way main event. Cesaro is back from injury! And AJ Styles is now No.1 contender for the WHC ! I guess that made up for his Wrestlemania loss, which certainly pissed off alot of people, but now it makes sense. Still, the obvious lingering feeling is that he is going to get buried by LOLVinceHasRomanWins.

Either way, if WWE keeps this up, it can finally be good again, and giving some deserving stars the spotlight.

And where the fack is Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows.

[MisterHentai]

Naito vs Okada is going to be ineresting simply because of how it's been built up for a long time.

Better than the way Roman had been built for the main event in WWE that's for sure.
