Who’d have thought a HIAC match would be the rest room break? The boss’s son gets to play. There’s little reason for me to give a shit about this match. ---

Good line, Michael! FOR THE LOVE OF MANKIND! ---

Well, that was a waste of a WrestleMania build. ---

Is this show a big middle finger to the fans or something? The booking is really questionable. Jericho going over? Can’t put over a newcomer at Wrestlemania? Ryder? Seriously? Trying to be all edgy and ‘anything can happen’, just not in a match of real consequences? No one is going to be surprised if he drops it tomorrow. Ok, I get it. You think the Flair name is more marketable. But Sasha is the real money. “Blood in” I guess if Shane wants back in the family company, right? Has to pay for it with a suicide dive off the cage that could have crippled him for life? Wait, the Andre match is on NOW??? I’d forgotten all about it, but clearly this means it’s going to run all of about 10 minutes. ---

Baron Corbin wins? That was… OK, I guess. ---

I guess this is Corbin’s call up. Well, good job that, at least. Main event ranks getting thinned out hard in NXT… ---

Takeover Dallas is light years ahead of WM. Now all we need is for Jerry Jones to win the WWE title. ---

But first, here’s the Rock with a flamethrower. Because… reasons? Seriously, Vince, just retire and take all your 50+ retired buddies with you. ---

Well, that was a waste of a half hour, we buried some _more_ current talents in favor of a retiree, and we’re in overrun before the main event even starts. This is an overbooked shitstorm. ---

And… shit all over Wyatts again just for pointless ‘put over Rock and Cena again’. Damn, Vince is the angry child playing with his action figures and cursing out the other kids. ---
