They moved it to SD last year and it did big numbers for them so not surprised they kept it like that but yeah better for the talent to be on the pre show.
Especially when you know they will use up about 15 odd minutes over both nights on video packages or a live performance.(thankfully nothing has been announced yet. Hoping that dreadful Rumble performance put HHH off). Not to mention whatever they have Miz doing each night as host.
Cena vs Theory announced as Night 1s opening match.

No live performance has ever sounded good at a WWF/E event

Lemmy not remembering the words to Triple H’s theme song made me laugh though.

That was great. Was much better the 2nd time they performed for him.
Limp Bizkit probably put on the "best" performance or possibly Living Colour in that they actually knew the words and put in the effort.

The guitarist from Saliva died last week. It felt like they wrote every WWE theme for a whole generation of wrestlers

Technically counts Whoever had him debut as a face on Smackdown wants shooting. Doesn’t matter how over that entrance was he was still playing The Nature Boy John Bradshaw Layfield and not being a heel killed him stone dead as soon as he hit the ring. |

They really decided not to do anything else to actually hype up Asuka vs Belair on Raw last night? Just two video packages based on each lady.
Makes me worried now they are just going to have Belair retain.
HHH has done a pretty poor job building both women's title matches and dates I say it the division. Vince did a better job than both HHH and Khan in that area.

Damn you Jericho.... forcing himself into an Adam Cole feud. Just let the man come back and build himself up again. No one gains from a feud with Jericho.

Aye, disappointing to see Jericho latch onto Cole - hopefully Cole bins him quickly.
Other than that I thought it was another great Dynamite - solid stuff from MJF/Jungle Boy, another great Omega match and it seems we're getting heel Bryan back against Omega. His turn doesn't make much sense but Danielson/Omega sells itself. Can't wait.

Total aside but I still can’t adjust my brain to Cage having that body and being short compared to most of the wrestlers around him

It’s a rule of thumb that if a wrestler of short but super jacked he must ever have Wokverine mutton chops or be referred to as a Wolverine.

So guys, Mania weekend! Anyone staying up for the greatest show on earth?
My a rare twist of luck the wife is away with the kids tonight and not back until tomorrow evening. The (forbidden) door is open for a depraved (late) night of grappling action and it would be rude not to step through. Kind of wish it was the second nights card though. Still not a fan of the two night Mania - take me back to those 1990 feels please.

Well I bought a month’s sub to the the WWE Network just to see the Sami v Roman match and forgot to unsubscribe, so yep I’m in for this weekend too. Nothing really leaping out at me as particularly exciting but let’s see what happens.
It’s weird having PPVs on Saturdays now. If they’d have organised them like that back in the day it would have saved me many bollockings for being too tired to concentrate in Physics class the next day.

I'm watching Stand and Deliver live (kick off show on now) but will have to watch both WMs in the evenings due to work.

Miz’s promo song on the kick off would have been great if it wasn’t so badly lip synced.
