Well, since these usually seem to be made for AEW, I thought I’d start one for tonight’s show!
I usually would not be watching WWE, but as friends invited me over, I’ll at least give the show a go lol. To put into context this year all I’ve seen is the Rumble and both nights of Mania, zero tv. But I keep up with John and Wais podcasts so I should be up to date at least.
Will you all be watching? I’m hoping for a Reigns return!
Yes and I’m very excited for it. I’m not expecting any “match of the year” candidates but there are feuds and characters I’m invested in seeing who wins.
Does Roman Reigns return during or after Cody vs Solo?
How does CM Punk do in his first televised match in a year? How does Seth get involved?
How well does Solo do in the biggest match of his career? The Bloodline Rules stipulation means they’ll be lots of interference but that’s just apart of the bloodline story.
Does Dom turn on Ripley and side with Liv after weeks of buildup?
Will Gunther continue to be pushed by the company as an almost unbeatable technical brute and win the world championship?
All of this is interesting to me. I will probably start it a bit late and then fast forward through all the commercials and concerts for a fast & fun viewing experience.
I’m watching on delay, mostly interested in the Punk stuff. I do think Priest/Gunther is going to be good too. Also interested to see what they do with Liv and Rhea.
Punk vs Drew and Riley vs Liv are built better than anything AAEW All In will have from an interest standpoint. No matter how many Spanish fly’s and flips and stars Osprey gets.
It’s interesting – I don’t expect any matches to be blow away, probably Gunther match would be the best, but there’s so much storyline into this and of course, the big question about if Roman or the rock making an appearance
Gunther vs Priest is definitely the match I’m looking most forward to, as well as the potential Roman return……when he comes back, the arena is going to go absolutely insane.
I’m def not expecting great matches lol Mania was a little too slow for me in ring for the most part. I’m basically watching for friend hangouts, the Wings & Ribs that the friend hosting is BBQ’ing lol also my fav WWE person for about the last decade has been Roman, so I’m hoping for an appearance
Checking in while I avoid Logan Paul. Two fine matches to start but nothing special. Rhea doesn’t need a “woman scorned by a man” angle. Nobody does in 2024.
“Women fighting over a man“ especially booked/written mostly by men, is usually shit. If they do it well or differently, I will enjoy it. I just don’t expect that.
It’s a possible story. Why limit the range of stories available. Any storyline written poorly is going to come off as ‘shit’.
If anything, both female characters have shown their own agency in this storyline in a way that isn’t’ traditionally done. In fact, Dominik is more in the role usually reserved for the female wrestler. Both women are white hot right now. While that may have been expected for Rhea, t’s made Liv Morgan ridiculously over compared to where she was before.
I don’t understand the opposition. Do you think they’re being exploited or lack the ability to speak up if they’re not comfortable with the storyline? If not, do you think that you as a man have more logic to decide what’s appropriate than the participants?
Yup, that’s exactly what I said. I know better because I’m a man.
“Romance” angles in wrestling haven’t interested me for over 30 years. And it’s usually because the women are portrayed as choosing a man (who treats them poorly) over being a serious wrestler, in any number of unflattering ways. I really don’t have any further way to explain myself to you.
