Great overall PPV. MJF v BD was the highlight. There was a point where I wasn't really sure who would win. That's some good wrestling.

I'm surprised there isn't more uproar over there only being one women's match on the card.

I think people have realized that their women's division really isn't that good

I haven't watched AEW in a while so just a quick question. I'm so confused.

Today Moxley and Claudio were in a tag match with Dark Order.

Moxley in the ring with one guy, they fight. Guy has Mox in a submission hold. Broken up by Claudio. Claudio stays in ring beating up other guy for extended period of time. Other Dark Order guy comes in and they beat up Claudio. Other guy stays in ring, Mox submits him. At no point in time was there a tag. It was just chaos until the bell rang. The guy who was submitted never tagged in.

Is this how all of their tag matches are? Why not just have everyone stay in the ring and brawl 2 on 2 instead of pretending it is a tag match?

This has been a criticism of AEW tag matches. They've cleaned up some of it, but there are still referee/rule issues.

Put FTR in charge!!!

yeah, it's not great but it's what people seem to want

Watching top flight and the young bucks trade spots is fun but a good old fashioned tag team match would be nice

Last night my family suffered a loss that should never he felt by any parent. 

Our older son Barrett passed away. 

I am struggling to write this. Tell those you love that you love them.

Makes the most sense, but he also had a stroke recently.

And he reads the Great Gatsby as his acceptance speech and leaves, never to be heard from again. Long term booking at its finest.

Having not watched WWE in forever, I was surprised in reading through the comments on twitter just how many people were excited about this and seem to hate Goldberg.

I get that he's far from the greatest technical wrestler, but he'll always be my favorite of all time from the WCW late 90's glory days and I was extremely excited when he made his return several years back or whenever it was.

I know I'm still pissed about that

He is also Tony Khan's favorite wrestler....

I’d like to thank Jonah Hill for making it possible to rock out to the Graduation album again.

I’d like to announce kanye Is no longer antisemetic.

But the jury is still out on Sammy, Darby, and Jungle after interrupting my Re Bar Mitvah.

Thank you.

I'm also an unapologetic Goldberg fan.

One of the greatest entrances in professional wrestling:

Maybe ...

No better week than Wrestlemania Week. Fly out late Thursday.

What is everyone match most looking forwrd to.

For me it is Edge and Balor think they are going to do amazing stuff

^

If they were really trying to have Cena put Theory over ... they could have done a much better build-up.

Only really one in the ring, faceoff between the two. Cena excelled -- as he always does. And Theory has potential. But it was like this was an afterthought ... when it could have been a powerful attention grabber of a match.

Roman Reigns is main eventing wrestlemania for the sixth time in eight years.

Okay that GoodFellas parody with the Bloodline was excellent.

I'm definitely all in on Sami and KO winning the belts. Seems like a given, and I kind of hope there isn't a swerve. I want to see Sami get his moment after the year he's had. Pretty crazy to think last Wrestlemania he was getting hit in the balls and slammed by Wee-Man and the cast of Jackass (although that match was pretty awesome) and now he's getting MVP chants.

I think there's definitely more to the story with Roman, the Bloodline, and Sami... but I hope we get a decent run of Sami and KO as friends. I don't even think I want to see one of them turn on the other but hey... it's rasslin.

Also so jealous you're going. I went last year and had incredible seats and it was just the best experience. I thought about doing it again this year, but oh well. Gonna be awesome at Sofi.

CONFIRMED MATCHES FOR NIGHT 1: (April 1st )

WWE United States Title Match - John Cena vs. Austin Theory (c)
I predict that Austin Theory wins this match.. they are trying to push him and it would not make sense for him to lose this match if they want to build him up.

SmackDown Women's Title Match - Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair (c)
Normally I would go w/ Charlotte but I think Rhea wins this match and expect a Flair heel turn the Friday following.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles Match - Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens vs. The Usos (c)
Sami & Kevin win the Titles in what will be call a classic match. I really looking forward to this match.

Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, IYO SKY) vs. Trish Stratus, Becky Lynch & Lita
Damage CTRL should win the match.. but no.. it will be Trish, Becky and Lita.. in the give the audience something to cheer about match.

Logan Paul vs. Seth Rollins - Logan Paul contract ends after WM.. Seth wins

Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio - Dominik wins in what should be an amazing match between father and son. I think Rey is close of retiring and this would be amazing match... my 2nd most anticipated match of the night.

Men's Tag Team Fatal 4 Way - The Viking Raiders vs. Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. Alpha Academy vs.
The Street Profits
Really don't care but keep in mind the winner of this will probably be pair to go agains Kevin Owen and Sami Zayn (assuming my prediction holds).. expect it to be Braun Strowman and Ricochet

CONFIRMED MATCHES FOR NIGHT 2:
Undisputed WWE Universal Title Match - Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns (c) Night 2 Main Event
Cody Rhodes wins!! Yes I am calling it.. he has been so over since he came back. Roman doesn't need the belt to sell.. Cody wins.

RAW Women's Title Match - Asuka vs. Bianca Belair (c)
Bianca retains the belt.. unless she is injure.. she doesn't drop the belt to Asuka.. unless they plan to use Asuka to be a transition champion to get the belt to Becky.

Triple Threat for the WWE Intercontinental Title - Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre vs. GUNTHER (c)
The match will be a Banger and I expect Gunther to retain the belt. Sheamus takes the pinfall regardless so that neither Drew or Gunther look weak.

Hell In a Cell "The Demon" Finn Balor vs. Edge
Fan match.. Edge wins in what might be the match of the night. that saying alot cause this is a good card.

Brock Lesnar vs. Omos
Brock wins in what will be describe as the most boring match of the night. Expect F5 and they will try to recreate badly the magic of Andre the Giant vs Hulk Hogan... w/o the build up. This really should have been Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar and Omos in a tipple threat.


Women's Tag Team Fatal 4 Way - Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Natalya & Shotzi vs. Ronda Rousey
& Shayna Baszler vs. Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville
Did you forget to take out the trash.. this is the match you get up and do it on.. I like the wrestler but too many bodies and no real purpose. The woman tag division has been a joke and the teams hadn't built any chemistry. Sadly this will a soft skip for me.. who wins.. not the audience.. but most likely it will be Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez w/ Chelsea Green taking the pin.

Overall a good card and hopefullly they will add some more stuff.. where is the Andre the Giant battle royal??

I think they initially brought Cody back thinking for sure that he would be the one to dethrone Reigns. I think they're starting to get worried though because the Reigns/Bloodline story has not slowed down as anticipated and still has SOOOO much meat on the bone. And it doesn't really work if he drops the belt to Cody clean. I think he's either going to retain (then may drop it at Summer Slam), or if Cody wins, it's going to be due to a HUGE swerve/run-in that no one saw coming (maybe Rock interferes to allow Cody to win)?

The Rock vs Reign would be the perfect storyline to retire the Rock from wrestling. But who knows if he would even do it.. but this is a main event Wrestlemania w/ a proper yearlong build up.

I'm disappointed not to see Bobby Lashley or LA Knight on the card. I don't really care about the non-title tag matches, or Lesnar/Omos, but the rest stacks up well.

Wyatt being injured was a blessing and curse for Lashley. A program would Bray would make him look bad, but he misses Wrestlemania. Maybe the winner of the Andre can face Lashley at WM.

Andre Battle Royal is on smackdown tomorrow I thought?

Also I impulse bought a big gold belt. I couldn't help myself.

Yeah it's on Smackdown.

I'm guessing LA Knight and Lashley end up doing something. I don't buy the LA Knight vs Stone Cold rumors, but LA constantly saying you can't have an LA Wrestlemania without LA Knight sure makes it seem like he will end up with a spot.

My guess is that LA Knight wins the Andre beating Lashley with shenanigans. Then the next night comes out and complains he isn't on the card... Lashley comes out and beats him down.

But LA Knight should win cuz he's awesome and he keeps getting more and more popular despite constantly losing.
