This is now the truest fact about me.

FWIW, I was a fan of Lesnar's run. Of all the matches we know are booked for Wrestlemania him and Ambrose is the one I'm actually looking forward to.

His whole shtick atm is the unstoppable beast. Everyone knows he's legit. In kayfabe he's the top guy, irrespective of who holds the title. Something es him off enough to turn up, and then he he either kicks ass or shenanigans happen and he loses. But only through shenanigans, cos nobody on that roster can beat him for real and everyone knows it. In kayfabe he doesn't show because he has no need to patronise these people. He's just above them all, and it's believable because even in his 40s it's still actually true.

That whole run set up Rollins' cash in. The best heel champ they'd had for years imo. He was whiny before and he was whiny after, but that cash in at that moment made him believable. He'd still be on top now if he hadn't knacked himself on the European tour

They obviously have to get Reigns out of their systems. I fear they're going to swerve us again and he loses, and then one year we're all expecting a swerve and they swerve that by putting him over. I'm hoping they just do it and let their face champion be booed out of every building from Dallas until eternity. Then they have to turn him and be done with it.

Eventually Rollins comes back. As a face. Crossfit Jesus, who shattered his knee for our sins, will save us all.

Rollins is the new Michaels if they let him be. His move-set is sensational, too good to be heel. They should turn him face and have Roman heel. No brainer. At the moment though its hard not to get invested in Ambrose, he's really the only good regular fixture on the upper-reaches of the card in terms of likability. I hope the match with Lesnar is the making of him, even though I don't think he should go over.

Shane v Taker could be a great bump-fest if the boss' son still has it in him to take them. The rest of the card doesn't really interest me.

I got the Network before the Rumble and will probably cancel after Mania. Watched a few Monday Night Wars, which are ok but are dragged out. Going to try work through breaking ground before Mania as that looks a good show. Anything else worth a watch?

Luckily we have NXT on TV in Australia!

I enjoy Table for Three when I see them. Three different wrestlers each time with some connection or other having a conversation. The one with William Regal is gold. Anything with William Regal telling stories in it is gold.

It doesn't help that I basically have dial up internet but I will cancel the network now. Good for PPVs though.

I actually ordered Wrestlemania on PPV.

I have been reading a few forums and there seems outcry about the whole thing. Here are my thoughts:
- Ambrose got sold a dud really. Should have been made to look stronger or take more punishment at least. I was hoping he would win a rematch down the road if not tonight.
- Divas...sorry should I say Womens Title...was absolutely fantastic stuff. I think its the most credible division at the moment.
- Title match was dull. But it didn't help that it was was at the end of a 5 hour show....7 hours if you count the pre-show!
- Loved the undercard.
- Shane is a maniac. Really didn't want him to go all the way to the top of the cell...hasn't been done in 18 years! I Hope he is OK. I can't see him sticking around but it was fun while it lasted.
- The Rock segment was pretty good. Wish they'd taken the opportunity for the heel turn from Cena though.
- Apalled that Austin is treated like any other old-timer...he deserves as much individual screen time as Rocky. HBK was in ridiculously good shape.

I am now on a complete downer that Mania is all over. This happens every year. I'll probably watch for two more weeks then forget about the squared circle until Summerslam.

Loved the women's match. Love the dropping of the Diva branding. Beyond past time for that, but at least they're not completely out of touch. Rumour is there are big plans for them coming up, and they're surely bringing Bayley up from NXT soon too. Shame AJ Lee isn't there to be part of it, because if anyone started this "revolution"...

The IC match at the beginning was amazing. I was actually stood up out of my seat on at least three separate occasions for that. Cheering Owens' heeling, bouncing at the thought of Zayn doing it and over the moon for Zack Ryder after what they did to him before - which apparently included telling him he was going over on one RAW, him getting his entire family down for it only for them to change the finish five minutes before the show and he got squashed in about thirty seconds. Cruel, but that's sometimes Vince's idea of a rib. So nice that he got to win something at Mania with his dad hugging him in the ring.

I was listening to the Cheap Heat podcast at the weekend and they mentioned Cesaro was up and about and looking really well. They predicted a surprise appearance for him, which didn't happen.

Here's my prediction: Cesaro returns on RAW tonight and wins the IC belt off Ryder. Ryder winning was the nod to the crowd. Over now, he gave us something to be happy about and so did his job.

I wouldn't be surprised if Reigns isn't on RAW tonight. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to make him look strong by having him turn up to squash someone and then get him off the air for a few weeks, like they do with Lesnar (who is actually legit and everyone knows it, so it works). Reigns as champ until Summerslam with two or three defences at most until then. Calling it now.

Don't get me started on Shane v Taker. Enjoyed the match, but to dangle that story and then snatch it away. WTFing F.

At the risk of this being a thread of just me posting links for myself: www.wwe.com/article/roman-reigns ... 29302845=1 He's not a good guy. He's not a bad guy. He knows a guy.

Will be interesting to see where they go with him now. He's back, he's fought for the belt but it's still on Ambrose. But you've also got Brock in the mix right now, the legit monster heel who got pinged twice on his UFC return - one of which could only have happened on the day of competition. In terms of egregious "cheating", Lesnar is the one. But it feels like he'll get an effective pass for it because he's Lesnar.

At the end of the day, the drug testing policy in WWE is what they say it is, a "wellness" policy. They're Sports Entertainment for the expressed purpose of side stepping all this stuff. It makes me wonder what it is Reigns was actually doing in order for it to warrant a public announcement. I suppose they had to get ahead of it because everyone legit hates him and he had the belt, and if it subsequently came out it's one more thing for people to kick off about.

And fwiw, so, so, so pleased Enzo is killing it on the main roster. He cut a promo on Raw last night and everyone was just staring at him in open-mouthed amazement. Him in the ring with Cena, and it's the recently debuted guy who does the ten minute promo. I've never seen anyone be given so much trust so quickly, and he owns it every time.

Not only is that guy money, but the company knows it too.

Also, that's a tag team they'll never break up. Enzo needs someone to throw him at their opponents.

Hopefully wwe will keep the tag team division hot for a while. Be good to see Enzo and Cass dominate...... Although I think Big Cass has future champion written all over him.
Big, strong, mobile and can use the mic..... When Enzo was out with concussion he more than held his own.

Looks like Reigns is going to be "paying his dues" for a while. A few months in mid card at least before they push him again.

They have an interesting dynamic. Cass is for sure going to be champ at some point. There's nobody that big (who can wrestle) that won't be at some point. The problem is Enzo, because he can't wrestle. Not really. His finishing move is to be picked up by Cass and thrown at the opponent. It's not a dig at him, they put him on the roster and the amount of charisma in the building doubled overnight. But with the dynamic between them it's almost as if Enzo is a manager for someone who can beat a tag team on his own.

I hope they don't split them up. The Shield had to split because future story lines. New Day will one day have to split because future story lines. Enzo and Cass? It would break what they are completely. If either of them are singles the other should be out there and in their corner.

I haven't made my mind up about Finn Balor.

Wasn't familiar with his earlier work cos I just don't do NJPW. Loved his early work with NXT, but then it disappeared off Sky onto the network and I've only seen bits and pieces in PPVs since then. Always enjoyed it.

Put him in a ring with Seth Rollins though, either to talk or wrestle, and there's no doubt at all about who the greatest available at the moment is. Rollins is going to be GOAT five years from now.
