So, it looks like it was cervical spine trauma that did Perro Aguayo Jr. in. :(

For the final RAW before Wrestlemania, that was pretty bad. It doesn't look like anyone liked that lame ending with Lesnar and Reigns. Not even Heyman's usual great promo beforehand can save that match.

Not much else to say. Everything has been set up piss poorly. The only match I'm even half interested in is the ladder match, and half of those guys deserve better.

I actually laughed at that final image from the show. Pretty pathetic.

I was too confused to laugh, because it wasn't even really an ending. It ended right when something should have happened. Like, what happened once the show went off air?
I get that they don't want to give away the fight yet, and maybe having Brock wrestle would have cost them more than just having him appear, but they could easily have had them appear to try to go at it, and have a shit ton of guys to pull them apart and have all hell break loose. Anything.

I didn't see it, but based on what you guys are saying, I am standing by my theory that Vince thinks most WWE fans are morons and will keep giving him money no matter how much stupid shit he does.

Its official Brock lesnar will be staying with WWE.

Which at least means there's theoretically some possibility of him retaining now, although given Vince's stubbornness of getting what he wants, it's still highly unlikely.
I don't think we'll be getting more appearances out of Brock than before. They've hyped him as as a rare attraction, and if he loses the belt at WM, there will be even less need for him to appear at every PPV. Given how tough the negotiations have been this time, I don't think Lesnar is budging to give them more dates. It will probably be the same contract as before.

The biggest surprises to me would be Reigns not winning the title (whether it be by Lesnar winning, or Rollins cashing in), and Rusev beating Cena again. Given that Rusev won their last PPV match, and got the better of Cena on Raw, it seems all but assured that Cena is intended to win the feud at WM.

I'd also be shocked if Sting lost (one of the very few times I'm going for HHH, which says a lot about how much I dislike Sting). I expect the WM match is a one off match for Sting, so I can't imagine any scenario where he signs a contract agreeing to job to HHH at WM. That's not how WCW veterans are used to working. :P

I'm still 50/50 on how they'll go in the Undertaker match. I don't think Wyatt deserves to even have a match with Undertaker let alone win, but for some reason they think a fat hawaiian shirt wearing redneck is the next Undertaker and might think it's "passing the torch", and now that Lesnar has taken the flack for being the one to beat the streak, they might think fans are more receptive to Undertaker losing now.

Rollins really needs the big Wrestlemania win over Orton, but they're still treating him like a pipsqueak heel, and Orton just came back and they think he's a big deal. If Rollins does win, it won't be cleanly.

I'm expecting Bryan to win the ladder match, but there are several legitimate contenders in the match, all deserving.

They'll probably continue to make the Bellas look ridiculously strong and flatten Paige and AJ, but I'm hoping Paige and AJ win.

There are a number of ways they could go for the Battle Royal, but I expect Sheamus will return and take it. It's a shame they squashed Axelmania on Raw, because having him win would have been hilarious. :lol

I don't see Taker losing two years in a row, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Heyman screw Lesnar and ally himself with Reigns if they were to turn him heel

If Lesnar was leaving, I'd say that was a very likely scenario. With Lesnar returning, I think he needs to keep Heyman as his mouthpiece in his absence. It could happen, but I don't think Lesnar would agree to continue without Heyman.

I'm a little bummed.

I've been a monster truck fan since I was a kid. I paperviewed the first ever world finals event 15 years ago and have wanted to go ever since. I'm finally going this year. One of my favorite drivers, Madusa, also used to be a professional wrestler. She's missing the event for the first time in 16 years because she's getting inducted into the wrestling hall of fame this weekend.  :tdwn

She was Alundra Blayze in WWF. I swear Alundra Blayze vs Bull Nakano was on every single PPV we hired back in the mid 90s. :lol She was a good wrestler too. She deserves to be in the HOF.

For whatever reason, a bunch of wrestlers had monster trucks in the 90s.

Back when wrestling was going for more mainstream appeal. We have this old toy of a monster truck with the Undertaker's face on the hood, and when you press it down it plays a sound clip of "I AM THE UNDERTAKER!" Seems like it was a happy meal toy or something.

Can you just imagine the highlights package before the match? Reigns getting booed as he wins the Rumble. Reigns and Lesnar sitting down talking. Reigns getting booed as he beats Bryan. Reigns and Lesnar both grabbing the title in slow motion. Overlay with Heyman promo audio in an attempt to salvage this mess of a build-up.

Speaking of Lesnar/Goldberg. You think Brock's middle fingers to the crowd and Stone Cold were planned? I suppose so since Lesnar sold the stunner, but I wonder if they knew the crowd was going to be that against the match before it started. Either way, it was very unprofessional of them to put on such a stinker just because it was their last match with the company. Goldberg says he's all about the fans, so why not go out with a bang?

I don't think anything could be worse than that match, but at least it had the consolation of Stone Cold kicking their asses afterwards. :lol
If Lesnar was leaving, this match had the potential to be in the same ballpark of bad, but with Lesnar staying, there's some small hope they could salvage it now.

Why is Lesnar even in WWE? He was a crap wrestler even when he first showed up, then apparently he's said all over the place that he doesn't enjoy it, why come back after UFC or w/e he was doing? Did he get his ass kicked over there or what?

With Lesnar staying on, he needs to keep the belt for a long time.  Otherwise, what is the point of a part time Brock Lesnar showing up once in a while for otherwise meaningless feuds?  While I am not a fan of a part time champion in theory, if done right, keeping Lesnar as the unstoppable beast is the way to go.  Plus, him only wrestling at PPVs gives it that 80s feel when we only saw Hogan wrestle on TV a few times a year, which made it feel special, instead of yet another world champion who wrestles on RAW every week.  But, knowing Vince, he'll still have Reigns win the belt, and fans everywhere will piss and moan and keep watching every week and giving him their money. :lol :lol
