WWE Fastlane 2019 (7 p.m. ET start - 6 p.m. preshow if you hate yourself)

...wait, the Shield is teaming up again? Yawn.

Anyway, no real expectations, but I do want to watch DB vs. KO and Becky vs. Charlotte even though both are entirely predictable.

This entire card reads like a pre-show except for DB/KO and Charlotte/Becky and, unfortunately, we're probably already pretty sure on the results of either.

Rumors must be true about Stroman pissing off Vince. He's not on this show and yet again does not seem set to have a prominent Mania match, if one at all.

The Raw tag match has theoretical show-stealing potential, but Roode/Gable have been handled so poorly and The Revival aren't very over.

I am kind of curious to see what their plan is with Shane/Miz even though I don't care much for either and am not invested in the storyline really.

Would normally be pumped for Charlotte/Becky, but Becky is nursing 90 kayfabe injuries so this feels more like a canvas for some Ronda Rousey shenanigans and more overbooking.

By the way, I'm overcome with embarrassment for all involved in naming Sasha and Bayley "The Boss 'n Hug Connection."

There are four matches I could see myself liking and three that seem like total throwaways (Sasha/Bayley vs. Nia/Tamina, Mandy Rose in a wrestling match, and the Shield six-man), so hopefully the more promising stuff delivers something.

So they scratched the Andrade-Rey singles preshow match and turned it into a fatal 4 way for the US champ on the main card.

I'm in. Not sure why, but I am.

Let's go Samoa Joe (didn't check the card, maybe he's not even fighting?).

Let's go Bayley (but yes, yawn of a matchup vs the bigger girls).

In I think. Starting earlier than I thought and hopefully doesn't go on forever.

Nakamura and Rusev are pretty meh currently.

In my head the accolade used to be a legit finisher making people tap now he locks it in for ages and nothing.

The fact that a monster like Rusev can have someone Xavier woods size in the accolade in the center of the ring and not get a submission is pathetic.

Woods shouldn't even be able to last more than 5 seconds in that scenario (in a just kayfabe world)

Intro clip montage does not get me excited about literally any of their storylines.

Which brings up the obvious question of "why do you watch then?"

Of course I have no reply to that.

Re: Shane

He doesn't have to realize that. He gets to book himself on no matter how dumb or bad it is in both real life and kayfabe.

IRL- his stuff mostly looks bad, imo

Kayfabe- all these guys are supposedly World caliber athletes that have trained for years to be this good. Boss's son that's actually a businessman can randomly step in at any time and give them a run for their money.

There was a segment on the preshow in which they all got involved (minus Rey) to set up that match change.
