WM18 is the most thrown together PPV ever. Even Undertaker said he was left out of plans until the last minute and was given the choice of Flair or RVD as opponents. Can't remember when RVD/Regal was announced, but it would give an idea of Undertaker's timeframe if RVD was still an option for him at some point. Also note that, as often mentioned, WWE hit the reset button after Survivor Series and that basically means development for Wrestlemania began no earlier than the end of November. And considering the NWO was a big part of the show but showed up in February, the planning period becomes even slimmer.

So at first, I found the episode was underwhelming and nowhere near a standout like some of the others. But then I thought about it and understood this wasn't a fan-servicy episode we wanted; it was an episode we needed. It progressed the story and answered some (but not all) questions. The end is near and this episode played a big part in getting there. Some questions and observations {Spoiler} What's up with Hayward? Why did he lie about Wanda stealing Vision when it would've been easier to tell everyone SWORD still has the body and he has no idea why he's showing up on television.
Disappointed we didn't get Monica, Jimmy and Darcy this week. I love those guys.
Sorta rolled my eyes at "Stark Enterprise" being so visible on the bomb. At first I thought the show was trying too hard to remind us where it's from, then I figured that era's Tony would've wanted his name everywhere in big letters.
Seeing Wanda driving a car (a red one, BTW) is inconsequential yet surreal.
As mentioned earlier, I'm surprised Scratchy ate an insect. That may support the idea Scratchy is another character who was turned into a rabbit.
Interested in how White Vision will be portrayed by Bethany. Will he be totally robotic with no personality, or will he be similar to Ultron? Basically, an evil smartass.
Really sad knowing now that Vision got the deed a long time ago when you think about it. Given the timeline, he had it before Infinity War.

I'd be fine with requiring only a week per episode at most. Once a new episode airs, the previous episode is fair game.
Also, spoilers don't have to be necessary for theories and speculation, especially if it involves info from older episodes.

All I remember is this getting a lot of discussion around here, followed by the gif of animated versions of them crying on the floor and then the "the Kurt Angle Cracks the Case" photoshop.

I've rewatched every chamber ahead of this. These are my final rankings 2019 Men - ****1/2 2017 - ****1/2 2005 - ****1/2 2019 Women - ****1/4 2014 - ****1/4 2002 - ****1/4 2009 WWE Title - ****1/4 2018 Women - **** 2008 Raw - **** 2009 World Title - **** 2011 World Title - **** 2010 World Title - **** 2003 - ***1/2 2011 Raw - ***1/2 NYR 06 - ***1/2 2015 Tag - ***1/2 2012 WWE Title - ***1/2 2013 - ***1/4 2008 SD - ***1/4 2010 WWE Title - ***1/4 2020 Women - ***1/4 2012 World Title - ***1/4 2020 Tag- ***1/4 2018 Men - *** DTD - **1/2 2015 IC Title - *1/2 Never realized we've had that many Elimination Chambers. In a couple years, it probably would have surpassed the number of Rumbles if we didn't now get two of those per year.

Maybe it's been addressed in the past 43 pages, but has anyone mentioned that Vision still has an Infinity Stone in his head?

As far as the main villain {Spoiler}
Assuming it is indeed Agatha, I can't picture an action-packed battle full of violence. I would anticipate a battle of wits, similar to Doctor Strange beating Dormammu. And given the long-term plan, it's not only logical but appropriate.

I think mocumentarys could be really fun moving forward especially for the future Avenger movies I could have sworn we were getting a mockumentary series about the cleanup crew after all of the big MCU battles? Adrian Toomes: And that's how I became Vulture

Questions and observations from this episode {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
I love Darcy with Monica and Jimmy, but she's even better with Vision. It has a good Odd Couple-feel.
No clue if Mephisto is the main villain. But at the rate we're going, I'm anticipating a credits reveal like Thanos did in Avengers.
Given the atmosphere, I wanna say the episode theme was based on Modern Family. But I also want to say it was based on mockumentary shows in general. The opening theme sorta sound like the one from The Office.
Remind me if the Book of the Darkhold showed up in Agents of Shield. Otherwise, I'm wondering if Agatha had it in her basement.
Kathryn Hahn is hot in Parks and Rec, but she's even hotter at the end of this episode.
Was that Dottie during the Wanda/Monica confrontation?
Anyone think Darcy will still be stuck at the intersection next week?
Curse "Please stand by!!!!!!"
Yes. To your Dottie question Been wondering about her. Love me some Emma Caulfield. One other question {Spoiler}{Spoiler}
Was that circus employee the same Sword agent who met Darcy when she first arrived and was sort of a dick? If so, it makes even more sense for her to have punched him just now.

How about non-canon introducing a character that becomes canon? Harley Quinn, for example

And much like the men's Rumbles, the fifth women's Rumble will be the greatest of all time.

Is this circa 1995 when the Steiners were briefly in ECW?

I've always been intrigued by how often you see the Buffy group work together. Of the shows I've watched, they've been linked to Buffy/Angel, Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother and the MCU/Agents of Shield.
One more person I'm curious about is Seth Green, though he wasn't around much in the first place. Any word if the chaos began in the later seasons? I haven't read every single post, but between Carpenter's pregnancy/firing, the Trachtenberg rule and Busch, Lenk and Strong support, I want to presume everything happened in the latter period of the series. By that point, Green was gone and Denisof and Hannigan were too much of a power couple.
