Wasn’t he on good terms with them ? He wrestled for them in like 2015

Something must have gone sideways between them. It's not like there's any question at all about whether his career merits it.

Depends if they wanna go off just his WWE career . Cause Shawn made sure his WWE career was ****

They would be searching for reasons to not induct if they discounted his pre-WWF stuff, since they clearly credit stuff from other promotions with others. Sting and the Four Horsemen quickly come to mind as already inducted.

Demolition also not being in is ridiculous, but we at least know that there's been bad blood there since there's been litigation. Wonder if Ax is still dying of the same heart condition that they pulled him out of action for 30 years ago.

The week before HHH and Friends, the roster all came out and gave HHH the collective vote of no-confidence. This was punctuated by Beth Phoenix saying, "But Hunter...we're girls."

That line still reverberates in my head.

At least she didn't thank him for receiving an ass-kicking from him at Wrestlemania

arse-kicking*

This all reminds me that we’re about to hit 10 years since Macho Man passed away and this summer will be 10 years since the Pipe Bomb/WWE Summer of Punk.

I really have no use for another Wrestlemania three way, but DB threw a better idea at us last night where Reigns vs Edge is night one and DB vs winner is night two. This is different and intriguing. Good on them for being creative.

Then Adam Pierce comes out at the end of the show and announces a 3-way like it's the ultimate innovation to solve the problem that Bryan gave him the solution too and the entire world's face likely dropped like Roman's did at that moment, but then I felt like a smiling DB when I remembered that Peacock is still not available on Amazon devices. I will miss Takeover though.

This Shane/Braun feud is a contender for WOAT WM Feud, if not all-time feud

You live in a universe where Taker/Taker and the Jericho/Kane coffee wars existed

Taker vs. Taker was SummerSlam.

Shayna Baszlor was pinned again last night. Like she's been pretty much every week since kicking Asuka's tooth out. The very next segment, she strolls out and tells us that she's dominated the women's division over the last year.

Rhea Ripley pushes a table at Asuka, who lies on the ground selling it for an uncomfortably long amount of time, while Shayna gets through this promo. Then Rhea accepts a match to tag with the woman she just threw a table at, while Asuka is still lying on the ground with her hand over her mouth staring up.

Lastly, Lashley has granted a title match to at Mania to whoever can take Drew out. This is good. We haven't had a bounty angle in a long time. Richochet thinks all he has to do is beat Drew in a match to claim the bounty. Ali thinks the same and the announcers never explain that this is not what Lashley meant.

There was a whole lot of WTF on this show.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hurt Business break-up is a ruse/excuse for Shelton and Cedric to interfere at WM since they're no longer in the HB

I'm taking the Hurt Business stuff at face value and would be pretty surprised if it was a swerve. I think Vince was just worried about Lashley getting cheered over Drew, so he took away the coolness of the group, with Lashley as the bad guy ruining it, and threw Corbin in there who everyone hates. Not sure if it'll work.

The card they have lined up for Mania should be great but the build on RAW has been bad across the board (Smackdown has been fine/good imo). Last couple weeks I've only really been interested in Rhea's segments since I think she has potential to be a megastar.

Yeah, I was commenting on his worst of all time feuds comment, not just the WM ones, which... this storyline just isnt even close to. Its aggressively meh at worst, and there are hundreds of angles worse than that over the course of wrestling history.

Like Chyna v. Ivory. Holy ****, that covers both all time and WM specific. What a godawful feud/build/storyline/angle that **** was.

Not watching lately, only reading reviews.
What are these fake train sounds with Braun?
Is there some semi rational explanation to it?

No, it's just stupid. Feels like something they did for kids at the expense of every other person watching it rolling their eyes.

Pretty sure Braun is the first guy to be facing 50+ year-olds in consecutive Wrestlemanias

Remember when Braun was supposed to be a big deal, but then he turned into this weird joke of a character?

So strange. He could be such a badass.

Anyone else excited for the first RAW after wrestlemania?

Definitely not the same without the usual super-hot crowd

I get how that cartwheel spot looks great in his head but so bad. Good match regardless.

Rhea is kind of a botch machine
