No way Jose and his conga line are going to end up exactly the same as Adam Rose and his rosebuds. They are already as irritating they just need to be released now.

****ing hell Baron Corbin vs Angle at mania

Underwhelming

Agent Coulson

Kurt picks Corbin for WM wtf.

seandotcomm

Literally nobody wants to see that match. UGH

Agent Coulson

It’s sad seeing Kurt like this he just can’t go anymore his body is so broken down.


Gable looks like he is trying not to hurt or make a show of Kurt.

J. Marston

Sad that Angle's final match is designed to get heat for the absolute waste of space.

Now his Mania match will be relegated to a piss break for most.

seandotcomm

Corbin heat is X-pac heat x100

J. Marston

He doesn't get boos, he gets groans.

cian68

Glanced at Twitter and when I saw Angle is facing Corbin I honestly thought it was a joke. Had to double check it was the official wwe account

seandotcomm

surely they can't be that off the mark to go ahead with this match.

mcdaids69

everyone walk away or something LOL

sky88

They’ve basically been building this Corbin/angle match for weeks but still doesn’t negate how underwhelming it is.

RollieFingers

Corbin, hahahaha oh wow. This is shaping up to be the most uninteresting Mania in years. Thankfully in 2019 there are genuine alternatives, this is so bad.

Lord TSC

It’s also painfully obvious that the reason the likes of Gable and Crewa are being brought into the sty is to give Kurt’s match bells and whistles to distract the fact he can’t go anymore. Gable vs Angle was a dream match and I was grinning when I realized we were getting it. And it was so bloody depressin to watch.

Now imagine what someone who can’t work as well as Gable will be like.

The line “and then their Mania opponent’s music hits and they get distracted....” seemed copy/pasted into the script multiple times.


And Charlotte becomes More and more obsolete to the women’s story every passing show.

Yea it's looking pretty terrible. I'm meant to be going to Buskers for it but I don't think I'll bother my arse now.

Rock Lesnar

While its very underwhelming that Corbin is Angles last opponent, realistically he's the perfect opponent, i'd love to see him wrestle Joe, Styles, or Bryan, but the fact is he cant anymore, even looking at him from last years mania to now is like a different person.

A match v Corbin should be seen as what it is, a perfect send off to one of the best ever

gerrybbadd

I've a feeling that Corbin will get swatted away by Cena mid entrance or something. Cena will come down to challenge. The 2 have a match, que Corbin running in, the 2 lads wailing the shyte out of him before raising each other's hands to send the crowd home happy.

Apparently corbin won't be his actual opponent according to a few wrestling sites this morning there'll be some Swerve

brinty

Surely his "son" Jason Jordan screws Corbin and that's angles last match
Terrible for angle but I see the WWE logic in it

This looks so stupid for the live audience and is equally annoying for those watching at home.

J. Marston

The camera work in WWE is atrocious. The shaking and zooming on impact wrecks my head.

Don't even get me started on "brawl-cam."

was it always this bad ive only really noticed in the last 5 or 6 years or has it been a steep declining curve

SlickRic

so much wrong with this show.

for HHH/Dave, as usual, they used their best angle in the first week and now they're having to drag this fúck out of everything now until I just don't want to see the match.

the camera work on Seth beating up Drew? Fúck off. More proof of how much you fúcking hate your audience. Any producer with a semblance of cop on would've stopped that jerking wery years ago.

even I'm bored with the Heyman/Brock schtick now. and I love me some Heyman.

and Seth losing? fúck right the fúck off. just fúck you. i don't care that it was by interference, or even better, the classic 'distraction with intro music' bollocks, but why don't you just have Seth beat people until Wrestlemania? is it that fúcking hard to have Brock, who beats people...have Seth beat a lot of people...then have them fight?

apparently so.

Charlotte, as I've always maintained, is a fúcking vaccuum. Nothingness personified. i couldn't care less. X-Pac heat with me. always has been and always will be.

the ones booking this crap are fúcking useless at their jobs.

RollieFingers

Rollins getting beaten so close to the Mania event is an awful decision. Same with Corbin getting beaten by Apollo Crews of all people. Nobody wants to see him in Angles last match, but you's made the choice so at least try and build him up a bit. Worst road to Mania in years.

Think they might want to do the Rollins-McIntyre match for the title post Mania. Don't know if they'll pull the trigger on Rollins on the night though. Vince loves Lesnar even though his act is dated, his matches are erratic and I genuinely feel whoever beats him will be no bigger for it.
Corbin-Angle could end up either way; a short squash win for Kurt or replace Baron with someone like Cena. I can see it being Corbin for no other reason other than it would sum up Kurt's return to WWE not what you at all expected.

SureYWouldntYa

Rollins losing to McIntyre is WWE's usual thing of getting everything out of someone before giving them the win to push them

Look at Ryback and AJ Styles losing at WM 29 and 32 respectively, only to become number 1 contender the next night

Why fully get behind someone when you can sort of get behind everyone

RollieFingers

Even if Cena does come down and take out Corbin leading to a match with Angle or a celebration in the ring... it's still an awful storyline. Kurt Angles last match and this is the best that they can come up with? On a Mania already mostly devoid of any well written storylines? Jokers.

CastorTroy

Dana looked like a puppet with her lips in her backstage interview.
I know the women want the same treatment as the men get, so can they please treat the tag division the same and not devote so much time?

So Strowman has entered the Battle Royal. Yay? Maye Mojo makes his in ring return then.

I know they have to make Angles look like he could win at Mania, but considering part of the retirement story was that he kept losing, why have Gable and Crews lose to him?

The Nal

Angle can barely put his hands up over his head anymore. Poor bloke will be crippled in 10 years.

Loved the Ronda/Travis segment.

Aye, that shot Travis hit the security dude with looked stiff as fook, looked like an elbow.

The security guide sold it like a champ, he looked legit knocked out :pac:
