Reigns wins, starts walking down the aisle, Taker goes on the mic and has a retirement speech, says he asked for the match, asks Roman back to the ring, raises his hand and passes the torch. We end up in the same exact spot and the authority convinces themselves that any reaction is a good reaction.

I dig it, but man, Taker loses, then have him call Roman back & raises his hand, that'll end in even more boos. They'll have to crank the music even louder than they did last year to try to drowned them out.
Just have him turn full blown heel. Have Vince come out after Taker loses, say he doesn't have what it takes anymore & sometimes you have to put a dog out of its misery. Have Taker go after Vince & BOOM, Roman drops Taker with a spear. Roman is now Vince's guy.

Roman is now Vince's guy. I like that way more. I'm saying I could see them justifying that in their heads. It would fall as flat as Hogan passing the torch to Warrior because the focus is still on the previous holder. |

He already is Vince's guy!!! Its full heel where he destroys Taker post match or nothing. How do you pass the torch to someone you have zero in common with?

Wow. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross will return to WWE TV at WrestleMania 33 to call the match between Brock Lesnar and WWE Universal Champion Bill Goldberg, according to PWInsider. Ross reportedly signed a new deal with the company that will see him used for material on the WWE Network and occasional appearances on WWE TV to call matches. No word yet on how often Ross will appear on TV. The new deal was offered and signed before Ross’ wife Jan passed away earlier this month, perhaps as long as 5 weeks ago. |

Still don't care about the actual match, but JR calling anything at Mania gets me interested! Wish he'd do the whole show, but good for WWE bringing him back.

Don't care about this at all. Jim Ross hasn't been god on commentary in at least 10 years. Also don't care about the match. |

There's some really good women wrestlers out there.

John & Nikki were just on SportsCenter with Coach and he asked Nikki about Total Bellas and she said she doesn't mind showcasing her life, whether it be "no marriage or kids or issues with their father...because I know people can relate to it"
Because you know, Nikki Bella & her life is so darn relatable.

Titus O'Neil, Sin Cara, The Ascension, Kalisto and The Vaudevillians have all been removed from the Battle Royal.
Out of all of these guys, poor Kalisto. I don't understand why he's got zero to do. It can't be from when he did his "umm Lucha Things" promo post draft.
Titus grabbed Vince, Sin Cara fights everyone, Konnor was busted twice for wellness, Vaudevillains just don't fit on the main roster as a team. I've said Aiden English & Viktor deserve better, but damn, all these guys just can't get tossed quick?

A few things. Kalisto hasn't connected on this stage. Mysterio isn't exactly Paul Heyman, but he can connect with people. I've never seen a more talented Luchador in person than Kalisto. I seriously remember the first time I watched him work in AAW. I was like a five-year-old with my mouth open. Scartlett came out later and I was like a sixteen-year-old with my mouth open.
I know what randomone is saying about Tits Bella. But I actually get her point. There are plenty of people out there with dad issues, etc. They flock to shows like that and The Kardashians because it makes that person feel a link to fame. "See, even Nikki Bella got this going on and she lives in a mansion like President Trump. That could be me one day!"
I was out with a couple wrestling dorks like us last night and they're pumped for this card. They got me excited. Look out (not actually Joliet anymore), I'm gonna touch you.
