Rusev is AEW level

Bit harsh to say that on Rusev day.
He wasnāt very good in AEW either tbf, so many people better in every way than him on the roster, and imagine thatāll be the case in WWE too.
His Redeemer gimmick was good tbh but beyond that itās been pretty meh.
Iām a bit surprised heās returning to WWE. I donāt know whatās left for him to do in WWE.

Yeah thinking back the redeemer stuff was good at the time. And that one meaty match with Hobbs.
Kinda feel the same about Black (though I still think he can go when he really wants to) , wonder where heāll sit on the roster. Though HHH was a big fan of his wasnāt he? So maybe heāll feature more.
I agree, there is nothing special about Aleister Black. I have no idea what it is that keeps him in high paying wrestling contracts.

I agree tbh. Canāt speak on his stuff before AEW as I didnāt see it, but outside of a few good matches and cool moments he really didnāt do a whole lot lol.
Absolutely gutted for Kevin Owens 
Weird that they had him cut a babyface promo about it when heās been such a ruthless heel for months.
Heās injured, not retired.
I think the point was he doesnāt know if heās coming back.

Yeah, I was expecting them to just write him out and fit it into the storyline.
I think itās down to the seriousness of the injury, neck injuries are weird. He is 40 and his body has been through a lot from his time in the indies and then later WWE.
Could be out for a while if not indefinitely.
Yeah but heās also wrestled at something like seven previous wrestlemanias and this is a pretty nothing feud. I dunno. It just doesnāt seem like a big deal to me.

Is Aldis gonna be the benefactor of the KO injury? Seems like theyāre building towards an Aldis v Orton match. Itās gonna be a squash match but fair play to him getting a WM match out of this GM role.
Medium to low. Build has been very underwhelming for a majority of matches

Incidentally I listened to a James Romero (and Stevie Richards) video trashing the build of Wrestlemania
Once again it doesnāt seem like Iām missing anything lol.

Hahah, low-key intrigued what they do with Orton which seems to be heading to an open challenge, which says a lot.
Iād say overall the best build has been for Gunther v Jey. The triple threat had its moments but it feels like theyāve been holding back. Iām also tired of Punk and Rollins feuding, and I fear the outcome of Mania will see them continue feuding which is a shame. Cena v Cody had a great segment couple of weeks ago but that was the only segment since EC that made me care about the match.
Hopefully they do something with Steve Austin at Mania beyond the Hall of Fame. Punk is gonna induct Bret v Austin, Iād geek out if they tease Punk v Austin even if itās an awful idea at their age.
I think it will deliver on the night(s). Even in years where the build isnāt great itās rare the show itself isnāt memorable.

Even WrestleMania 9 is memorable for being absolute shite.
