More like "looks like smarks like Roman and Nikki a lot more than they claim" should be your reading of that story

I'm pretty sure axxess is the least smarky and most kid friendly event of mania weekend but ok

Yeah, because tons of kids and casual families drop hundreds/thousands to fly across the country to get autographs. WM is the hardest of hardcores and rich casuals. Booking Progress and ICW on Axxess was totally for the kids.

PROGRESS and ICW are literally at the WWE Axxess shows. Not shows in the area. Shows at Axxess. Those are for kids in Orlando?

Sanity has to be the worst stable WWE has ever had

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #3849 on:** April 01, 2017, 08:23:37 PM »

So progress and icw are there this year because WWE saw indies booking dozens of shows on mania weekend and finally realized they could get some of that action, so that means mania weekend is just for smarks now, but also smarks like nikki bella and roman reigns more than samoa joe. got it

Stro · « **Reply #3850 on:** April 01, 2017, 08:26:20 PM »

If you think WM weekend is some big casual haven, you're crazy. Regardless, even if it was, smarks say no one likes Roman and Nikki, yet someone sure likes them an awful lot to be camping out in line for them. One way or another, they're clearly proved wrong. Again.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #3851 on:** April 01, 2017, 08:35:25 PM »

I don't think it's a "haven of casuals," I just pointed out that axxess was the most kid and casual friendly event of the weekend?
Also where is the smark chorus of "no one likes roman" you're hearing? From what i've seen people generally agree that he's a good wrestler who's booking is incredibly frustrating

Stro · « **Reply #3852 on:** April 01, 2017, 08:49:39 PM »

Are you seriously trying to act like the line for YEARS hasn't been "Roman (and Nikki) aren't popular, they're just shoved down our throats"? Are we really doing this right now? I also don't ever remember making an argument that Joe is more popular than Seth to begin with so I don't know why you even brought it up to me like that.

Let's talk about how Nigel just screamed about the future of Ring Of Honor while calling a NXT show.

nachobro · « **Reply #3853 on:** April 01, 2017, 09:13:00 PM »

anyone who honestly thinks roman and nikki aren't popular isn't a smark, they are a moron

granted the two terms are pretty interchangable

Women's match was ok. Started strong and petered off.

Asuka had a soft heel turn so I guess that's something.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #3857 on:** April 01, 2017, 09:51:09 PM »

I don't have any real insight into how people perceive nikki but for roman it's always been the "shoved down our throats" booking, no one but the truest of delusional distinguished mentally-challenged fellows says he isn't popular. Not really sure where you're seeing people saying that

I missed the tag match, worth rewatching? This is the first takeover card in a while that I'm pretty indifferent on, though I haven't been following it very closely for a while

Most seem to think that was his NXT farewell and he'll show up on one of the other two programs or maybe even Mania itself.

Nice to be able to fire up the kickoff show and just go back to the matches, then skip the rest. Cruiserweight match isn't holding my interest though.

Aries/Neville was the best thing Aries has been involved in in a solid decade. Neville da gawd. Fucking DIED as the lady security guard trying to stop Gronk because she thought he was actually just a fan hopping the railing. Also lol at Sami being so ain't shit not only can he not win, but he can't even get eliminated by a guy on the main roster.

It seems very easy to believe, but I'm sure it wasn't just JBL. He's been working 25 jobs at once for 2 years now. Bound to burn out at some point.

Disappointed AJ vs. Shane was the opener, but it was a much better match than it had any right to be.

Stro · « **Reply #3872 on:** April 02, 2017, 07:44:13 PM »

For sure. Even though Shane was gassed about 4 minutes in. Somehow he kept it together. Dying at the Suzuki/AJ spots.

I missed most of that Goldberg/Lesnar match.

Another short one, eh? Maybe Brock can have a real match with Goldberg gone now.

That video stuff on the ring mat during the SD title match was kinda cool. Didn't really care for the match though. Even if I don't care as much or at all for some of these matches, I still think this is one of the better PPVs in a while. The tag ladder match is still match of the night and I don't think it's going to be topped.

I'm happy they didn't cut the Smackdown Women's match, but fuck it was rushed. They managed to do something with it at least. Glad Naomi got her WM moment.

Bray/Orton was the most forgettable shit on the card so far.

Lesnar/Goldberg was pretty fun

Raw Ladies match was terrible and pointless
