    The new jack dark side of the ring was awesome. Guy is seriously fucked up but the gangstas-eliminators-Dudley boys feud was one of the best in wrestling history. Every bit of feud dudleys-Hardys-edge/Christian was

    Dynamite is a blast so far. Kenny and Trent was great, but I loved Archer killing Stunt.

    My best friend in elementary school had an older brother that was a tape trader, so at like 11 or 12, he showed us a bunch of the Public Enemy/Gangstas matches. My mind was blown.

    I have a 3 hour tape of gangsta-eliminators-dudleys matches. Just awesome stuff. I think the eliminators are the most underrated tag team of all time since they broke up when Saturn moved to wcw

    marko stunt is awesome. He sells his ass off and takes ridiculous bumps. He’s like a faster, more athletic spike Dudley

    The Gangstanators were always so funny to me. New Jack and Kronus was just so weird.

    No, and I don't think my heart could handle it at this point. Today I got my work calendar alert that I created for Wrestlemania back in November which then reminded me to cancel the personal day I was scheduled to take next Monday. I'm not in a good place :*(

    I’m excited because the build to some of these matches have been great. But I’m sad because it’s filmed and in a empty building.
    It doesn’t feel like mania. And that makes me sad.

    1. Have they announced what matches are what night

    And

    2. Did they ever kayfabe explain why Braun is getting a title match? Or even admit that match is happening?

    Just answered my own question 2 in reading a SD recap? Did they really just announce Braun replacing Roman on commentary with no explanation?

    Someone asked Triple H the other day about it and he said they had something planned to explain it and he didnt want to ruin the surprise by telling what it would be. That was the surprise? Cole announcing it from commentary?

    Cena also cut a promo for wwe where he called The fiend basically just husky harris and that he is sick of current superstars getting chance after chance when they dont deserve it....it was later removed and replaced with a different promo on all of their official accounts, but here it is

    No, but KO did mention multiple times in his promo Monday that his match is tonight. Heyman said Brocks match was Sunday. But nothing official from WWE


    Also no, outside of a statement from Cole. I don’t think they could cut a segment involving Roman. I saw something rumored that they did attempt to do something with a stand in for Roman and it looked like shit so last second the cut it from Smackdown and that’s why last nights show was heavily edited and so much Voice over from Cole.

    He cut nearly an identical promo on Smackdown it didn’t include the Husky Harris line. But everything else was included.

    And then they closed in a fucking awesome way with the puppets coming out at ringside one by one and The Fiend on the podium. With Bray appearing behind Cena saying “let me in”. It was great and hats off to WWE production because it came off flawless. It also got me to jump lol

    re-upped my sub for the month because I'm weak and don't feel like dealing with the hassle of high traffic illegal streams, my Rumble experience was pretty annoying

    now let's get on with this abomination

    Natalya v Liv Morgan is a wrestlemania match???? Was their any build to this? Instead of going 2 days wwe needs to cut bullshit matches like this. Mania matches should be reserved for blow off matches of big feuds.

    I'm also going to miss Raw after mania....wonder what they do after this is over this weekend.

    Florida has a shelter in place. WWE would be going against the government at this point if they keep taping in Florida.
