Great match, good show over-all, but I still don't see the point of going with Reigns. Best case scenario is that Reigns gets a Cena-esque mixed reaction, worst case (and more likely) scenario is he gets booed non-stop and the crowd craps on the match. Now I defend Cena in these situations because while he might not have the hardcore fans behind him, he has a lot of other stuff going for him. Reigns doesn't. Does Vince really want another WrestleMania where nobodies cheering for the good guy? Does he really want another five WrestleMania's like that with none of the positives that have come along with that?

So Vince saying "We won't cave into fans this year" wasn't a big enough clue for you? I'm talking about in the middle of the match. All that other bullshit means nothing. Only it did, Because he lost, as expected....

The only finish I was waiting for was for Roman to win dirty. Roman winning clean, Bryan winning at all, or a double DQ/CO? Disappointing!
When you think about it, Roman using dirty tactics would be in character and even though it would get some heat, he could use it to justify fighting Brock at Mania because, hell, Cena beat him the first time with a steel chain to the brain.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo Ziggler vs Bryan? That's what Ziggler wants, and like Jericho vs HBK or Kurt vs, well, a number of guys, they might want a workhorse match with nothing on the line but pride, especially since it's not like Undertaker is able to beef up the cards anymore.

I switched off after the 3 count. Did Bryan give him a blowee after the match while Vince stood by nodding along?

Not gonna lie, I had absolutely zero interest in seeing Bryan main event WrestleMania so this result is fine with me. Dude already had his moment, what's the point of doing it all over again just because he got injured? Personally, it doesn't really piss me off that Bryan isn't in the main-event again. It pisses me off that there are other guys who should be instead of Roman Reigns. But their family tree isn't as attractive, so f*** 'em.

They need to retire this name and put it next to Capital Punishment, Over the Limit and the rest of the one note, suck shows. Also, no more shows for you Memphis.

Honestly, I'm so tapped out on WWE I really don't even mind this, because Mania would probably be shit regardless. I went ahead and watched the last few minutes of the match (from when Bryan was doing his suicide dive-fest) when I noticed the time just due to being kind of curious, and what I saw... Yeah, that was pretty damn dull, and outside of the yes chants the crowd seemed utterly dead. Probably because it was painfully obvious where it was all going but still.
I turned it off when Reigns got the three since I really didn't care to see the backlash, but I'm assuming it's started in full now. Hope WWE's ready for the huge chunk of their ass about to be bitten off.

Fantastic match! Perfectly fine with the result as well. Nope. Bryan did not win. Burn down everything. My mistake. Let me get my comfy chair so I can watch the world burn.

The seed has been planted for D Bry to go completely batty and go h.a.m. on Reigns if Lesnar turns him into a grease spot. There's no way Reigns loses at WrestleMania. I would bet my life on it, that's how confident I am. I'm just saying even if Rollins cashes in (highly likely) and wins, D Bry is going to lord it over Reigns as a blown opportunity.

And here's another question that I'd love for the WWE to answer: You face a huge backlash because Bryan is eliminated like he was at the Rumble. You announce that he gets a shot to go to WrestleMania if he can beat Reigns at Fastlane. Reigns beats him clean as a sheet.
How is that anything but a 'f*** you!' to the fans? How does this company even still have fans? Why am I asking so many questions?

Imagine in 1999, "you know, Steve Austin had his Wrestlemania moment last year..." And to add to this, it seems like people are forgetting Brock vs Goldberg. I am not expecting a good match out of him and Reigns. It only works when Brock looks like a freak of nature. But Reigns needs to look strong.

I'm quite apathetic to the main event now. I hope Brock wins, but I'm fully prepared for Reigns to win. Rollins cashing in and stealing Reigns' moment after he beats Lesnar would be cool and would set up a feud between the two going down the road. I don't see what you do with Reigns post-Mania otherwise.
