Coronavirusmania 36 - Page 10 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

It's impossible to please wrestling fans. Lots of hate on this for being too long but you also got the same people hating on returning wrestlers that wrestle for 8 minutes (or 2 minutes if you're goldberg)

I'm all for limited workers putting in short matches. Watching Goldberg for 20 minutes sounds like death.

I think some of them get **** on because they clearly can't go anymore and it's a cash grab. I don't think that means just because Edge can still work he should have stupidly long drawn out matches.

Stipulation is awful and ruined it.

edit - I find it funny wrestlers are still doing things to play to the audience, especially on their entrances, when there is no one there. Looks daft.

I really enjoyed the Edge match. It was definitely long but I never found myself hoping it would end.

People keep saying that Bayley and Sasha have so much history and are going to have a great fued but I think they have shown many times that they can not. It's in the past, move on, otherwise we'll end up with Bayley/Banks in 2040.

Bayley is crap.

I would point to NXT as evidence to the contrary, but nothing that we've ever been excited about from NXT actually comes to fruition on the main roster.

Honestly WWE needs to just abandon their entire business model and go this route + the Taker match for everything

I think this is too much for me. It doesn't even resemble a fight.

The issue is when Bray gets in the ring.

It's an extended promo which I worry is going to have an awful match at the end. Enjoying it so far.

I'm rooting for Cena to wake up in the middle of the ring pinned right after the 3 count.

Vince puppet doing the "this is such good ****" meme is the best thing to happen at Wrestlemania.
