That was on the table, but I got vetoed by Zach and Dental Plan.

Remember when Taker was so shook by this he retreated to a cabin in the woods, plastered it with images of the WM27 match, watched the video tape over and over and then cut his hair?
Remember when Trips denied the rematch because he has REAL LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES as COO!
Remember when Shawn Michaels then brought his unique brand of overselling to Referee reactions and it was glorious?
Remember when it was the end of an era? except Trips and Taker still pop up at mania so....
The memory remains
Hey, whoa, c'mon.
But I'm cool with doing Havoc '95 and SummerSlam '97 next. Since they were the runners-up.
The jIf has gone too far this time. Besmirching the name of WCW's finest hour.
And here we are in 2018 with HHH, Undertaker and Kane likely at Mania
Kane will be wasted in a battle royale spot, I demand ONE MORE (mania) MATCH!
Kane vs Trips, 25 minutes, book it
OP
OP
25 minute match plus another 10-15 minutes for Kane's intro and HHH's crazy Mania intro?
I'm in love with Victor Quinones promos, dude's awful but somehow absolutely amazing at the same time;
"Kipp tha Creeper!"
This one's amazing as well "GAAAAWD ONLY KNOWWWWWS"; https://twitter.com/MrLARIATO/status/953774403233476608

And here I was thinking Sasha was the one who watched too many Akira Hokuto matches

Still convinced they were trying to shoot and kill each other in that match
Kane's entrance would just be a minute of him strolling down to the ring, no pyro, no cool entrance attire, just his bloated gut swelling out his ring gear.
The other 14 minutes will go to Trips sailing down the foggy river of lost souls in his viking boat, while Steph whips their disguised NXT rowers.
Man, Kane at mania is a massive missed opportunity for dumb entrance attires.
That segment would be so fucking long Vince would think it needs its own preshow
Quit your life and watch SuperBrawl II with us Sunday night AMERICA TIME.
HHH/Strowman will be 28 minutes of CEREBRAL ASSASSIN-UHH!
And we have to endure it. Because we're not the fans WWE deserves, but the fans it needs right now. Because we can take it; because we're not fans. We're silent spectators, watchful fanatics... we're dark marks.

I can already see the finale of HHH/Stowman.
After 25 minutes, you can hear a pin drop.
Trips is dramatically overselling, he swings his sledgehammer tiredly at Braun who stops it with one finger, the crowd murmur briefly, Trips pulls a myriad of shook expressions, Braun bats the hammer away while Steph looks on with that open mouth shock face she's mastered since 2000.
POWERSLAM, 1, 2....*Braun lifts trips shoulder off the matt*
"I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!"
The crowd give a weak pop, a bit deflated that things are gonna go for another 15 seconds but mustering some enthusiasm for the classic quote.
Second powerslam, 1, 2, 3, the crowd breathe a sigh of relief, knowing they're free for another year until Trips strikes again.
Cole says "OH MY!" a lot and reiterates how BIG this victory is.

would not be shocked if in one of the twenty hhh vs cena feuds cena said this
Meltzer on Bryan's betting odds: "You're not wrong, but that smart money comes in the Friday before the show at the earliest. This is fan hysteria."
Recent odds shift which has some marks working themselves into a shoot and shooting others into a frenzy over something impossible. Not that any of this is a surprise, since people continue to focus on betting odds as early as 4 weeks before the show, even though everyone should know by now that smart money usually comes in very close to the actual PPV.
I doubt anything will change aside from them getting better ratings due to the Network they're on. And maybe they'll go back to 2 hours, which would also assist in the better ratings. Is it because of the 2 hours? Because there's nothing else that really benefits us as viewers.

Any particular reason why?

Yes.
Long-term that is much better for the product and USA will never put them back at two.
Plus I think it's possible Fox pushes them to go in more of a sports direction as opposed to USA who in the past have asked them to lean more into the drama.
So a bunch of PCW events showed up on Amazon Prime today

nice booking
but what if
he misses the second powerslam boom pedigree slow crawl over 1 2 3
coming so close to beating a hall of famer like me will surely do him a world of good

I feel like we'll know what's happening with WWE as soon as we find out where UFC is going. If UFC leaves Fox, I'd bet a lot that Fox snatches up WWE. If not, I think they'll stay with NBCU.
My hope is that less time to fill means they become less prone to using the exact same guys and matches every week. I don't think it will, but at the very least, two hours is easier to watch than three.

Any updates on Rich Swann? Can he handle the unemployment line, or is he still around the WWE, pal?
If they go back down to 2 hours they could also cut 1/3 of the Raw roster.
Shaking up the rosters and having the same amount of people on both brands would be nice as well.

OP
His case hasn't been dealt with yet. If he's convicted, he'll be released. If not, he won't. Until a decision is made, he's suspended.
Strowman did make, what I still believe, is a botch in the Lesnar match. He powerslams Lesnar, but doesn't pin him due to his arm. Then powerslams him again and pins him immediately which led to Lesnar kicking out. Pretty sure he screwed up there and he was supposed to powerslam him twice, sell the arm as he couldn't get an immediate pin, and then make the cover so Lesnar kicks out. It makes both men look strong, and leaves a question mark as to whether Strowman would've got the pin had he gotten the cover immediately.
The way that whole sequence happened seemed to make no sense with Lesnar's use of the kimura to slow Strowman's onslaught down. The kimura basically becomes a pointless part of the match, except it's a big part of what the match was obviously built around.
Do you think THE GAME-UHH would allow him to bring such dishonor and shame to his Wrestlemania match?!
