[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

6. Started off good but fell HARD from Theory's match to Bianca. Only thing that picked it up was the Street Fight.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

4/10 - Cody's promo was good and there was some fine wrestling but it's still a slog and the booking in the last hour annoyed me.

[Chiral]

This WM bulid got me like

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

I liked it, gave it a 7.

[asuka007]

8/10:

Judgment Day vs. The Way, Cody vs. LA Knight, and Theory vs. Dawkins were all fun matches.

Cody’s promo was great.

Trish is still bumping like a boss.

Dominik makes such a great prick heel. The crowd is going to go mental when Rey finally hits him.

KO needs to let go of his pride and get help. It’s clear he cannot take down the Bloodline by himself.

Both Women’s Title feuds are not good frankly. None of the Women’s Stuff is particular good honestly.

Asuka doesn’t feel like she’s different enough as a character. And she hasn’t been booked to look all that strong either. And Bianca is not good at selling like het opponents ever get to her or bother het (it’s one of her biggest weaknesses). And this Carmella/Chelsea stuff has been a waste of time.

All the women’s stuff lacks heat right now.

[fw91]

7. Serviceable but women's stuff is lame.

[Push R Truth]

Theory ain't it

[schizo]

8

Every enjoyable show

Okay, I can't believe I have to say this, but Asuka is definitely different as a character. She's coming across as way more crafty and sadistic compared to how she was before. And more calculating. You haven't seen her screaming about how no one is ready for her, and she's mainly just been there, getting under Bianca's skin and playing mind games. Asuka isn't going to be an over the top spooky character like Bray Wyatt or the Undertaker.

And this is why WWE doesn't do major character changes often, because it's never enough for some people. The root of the problem with this feud is Bianca because she no sells everyone as a threat, and it kills whoever she's feuding with. It's why she absolutely needs to lose the title at Wrestlemania and either get some tweaks to her character or take some time off, because right now it's not worth getting invested in her matches at all. She's been stale ever since Summerslam last year, and her booking jumped the shark when she ran over all of Damage CTRL on her own.

well I guess it's appropriate that his name is Austin Theory and not Austin Law!

I'll grab my coat...

[XIII]

Like 6. Feels like just about every Wrestlemania program is running on fumes to me at least.

How is she “craftier?” She laughs a bit and dribbles blue must fro her mouth. What is “craftier” about her? How are those such brilliant “mind games?”

And it’s not like she’s booked much stronger. Her match have all been back and forth affairs and heck Carmella was on offense for most of the match they had a couple weeks ago.

I think you’re trying to find a character change that really isn’t there.

She shouldn’t be Bray Wyatt. She should be a vicious killer buzzsaeing through people. Not even Mella and Chelsea act all that scares of her FFS.

This WM bulid got me like

There are like two matches I'm interested in full stop (Cody/Roman and GUNTHER/Sheamus/Drew) and then two I'm interested in to see the champs lose only (Charlotte and Bianca)

The rest has really felt like "THAT's a Mania Match??" and "There were no other options?" which... probably isn't the vibe they're going for lol

[Lizuka #BLM]

This Mania season is basically an absolutely brutal sit carried by the hope that it'll pay off in a halfway decent show but more and more seeming like it won't.

[john84]

Decent episode, Chelsea v Bianca was fine, Bloodline...well, everyone knows my view on that so I'll leave it at that lol. Cody promo was good. Bianca could've sold being concerned about Asuka better but I'll never complain about seeing Asuka on the tv. Seth is always a positive at the moment. Trish taking the bump was cool to see. Still weird seeing Lita with a tag belt alongside Becky.

I just realized that nothing else happened with Trish after she cut that promo. For some reason I expected something else to happen.

6 out of 10, IMHO.
