Apparently there's a Ronda Rousey contract signing tonight (Elimination Chamber PPV Thread) - Page 4

Someone doing great heel work AND successfully getting a full-on heel reaction from the crowd is so rare in the modern era. A big heel reaction these days is almost always "go away" heat, but doesn't seem that way with Elias.

So the story we're supposed to believe is that they can't find a match for John Cena at Mania when he doesn't win here (which will lead to the obvious).

But they can find matches for all the other part-timers every year.

Oh how I hate "group of dudes all stand there and await their doom from above" spots.

The quadruple power bomb spot on Braun was nice.

This is as inorganic as matches get. Everything just screams how carefully blocked and scripted it was.

This is so boring and predictable.

"Inorganic" is the perfect description for it.

I guess you don't consider Braun to be a heel?

Yeah, something just feels off and it's probably the inorganic nature of it. There's also no story being told other than "Braun is unstoppable." Honestly think the women's chamber match was better for that reason.

Weird that the crowd died for the Strowman vs Shield showdown. It should say something to Vince.

Customary to totally no-sell a spot like that rather than kick out at two.

Having bad memories of that one Royal Rumble that was so obviously meticulously booked to have Roman overcome all the odds and win.

It’s because everyone in the crowd knows the final outcome. What is there to get excited about?

I don't even hate Roman Reigns like a lot of fans do, but does every ****ing Mania have to be about getting him over in the top spot?

I think it's way more who's winning than that they know the result. Crowd would be molten if Braun had a chance to win.

Yeah, that’s more what I meant. When you know it’s always Roman on top, it’s hard to care.

At least now they're reacting to Reigns winning with pure apathy instead of hatred. He's making progress!

Why do they chant "one more time"? Why not 10 more times?

I also don’t know how they do Strowman/Miz like it’s rumored to be. It feels like bad booking for both guys.
