Bret Hart Was Quite Good

Is it still 3 hours?

Cena

It depends, they’re more flexible now and it goes last for two to two and half hours. There’s also no ads now(there are some short breaks though).

Awful opening segment. Dog shit from both Cena and Rhodes.

Close enough. It’s about as long as it was with ads at 3 hours. 2 and a bit hours of actual tv. I’ve never been able to get on with weekly TV that went over 2 hours with ads / 90 mins actual programming.

Much better segment than last week. They may have spoiled the result though by having Cena claiming that he’s winning the title and retiring with it.

Better than last week.

ā€œBetter than last week, no?ā€ :joy:

Btw, how exactly does The Rock(and Travis Scott lol) fit in all this?
It’s so obvious they’re making it as they go. :rofl:

Usos Vs Waller and Theory. Very considerate of them to have such an obvious switching off point.

What?

Cena is carrying the feud, which is a shame because after next week he isn’t advertised until Mania. Just don’t feel like there’s enough hype there for the match. Cena should really show up every week until Mania to sell the match.

Not if he’s going to come out and deliver rambling nonsense like tonight. He was marginally better than Cody’s CTRL + C, CTRL + V promos but not by much.

Also, Punk should really have something to say about Cena ripping off the whole ā€œI’m going to leave with the title and render all future champions irrelevantā€ thing :grinning:

I’m not hyped for Mania at all tbh. The 2 men’s and 2 women’s world title rivalries are all falling flat for me. Tiffany very clearly isn’t ready. Cody and Cena just isn’t hitting it right now and I still don’t think Jey was the right one to win the rumble just cause I don’t see him as a world champion. IYO/Rhea/Bianca is a little better build wise but even it’s not great still.

I know Jey isn’t popular online but live crowds really seem to love him. I don’t think he should win the title though.

I’m kind of invested in Tiffany Vs Charlotte but for the wrong reasons because I just hate seeing Charlotte perform, win titles and indeed, exist. I wish she’d just fuck off.

I am interested in a heel Cena title reign, despite tonight’s uninspiring offering. And I don’t want Cody’s reign to go into a second year. He’s been ok, but he’s very bland as champion.

I would rather the Women’s world title was just Rhea Vs Bianca. I can’t say I would have cared if Iyo had been left off the card entirely. But I think we will still get that match down the road.

I honestly don’t mind Jey but he’s really not world champion material I’m sorry.

Tiffany and Charlotte did a promo on smackdown and it was one of the worst promos I’ve heard in a long long time. Tiffany has potential but Charlotte is just awful in every aspect.

I still maintain that Punk should have won the Rumble so we get Gunther vs Punk at Mania. Seth vs Roman tells its own story which doesn’t need Punk involved.

That Charlotte / Tiffany promo was really weird. I think Charlotte went into business for herself and went off script. Reminds me of the time she threw that title at Becky.

I’m with you on Jey. He’s very likable, but not a great singles talent. I thought his IC title reign should have lasted a lot longer, he’s a good fit for that role.

Gunther Vs Punk doesn’t inspire me much. In fact the World title in general just isn’t reaching the levels WWE would like it too. It’s still very clearly a secondary title.

Does Jey Uso still do those abominations that they dare call a spear that @Leper showed me some time ago? :joy:

He most certainly does :joy: he could improve overnight if he just cut that out.

Yeah I think having Punk go for the title would have elevated Mania and the title. The build would have been a lot better. The promo work would be top notch and it’s guaranteed the match would be great for a Mania.

Should see the ā€œspearā€ he did last week. Was so bad Cole thought it was a cross body lol
