The WWE 60 minute matches don't work, but Flair v Steamboat and ROH: Punk v Joe 2 are very good 60 minute matches.

Well seeing as its got wrestling in the company name you would think fans would enjoy a 60 minute wrestling match from Shawn/Bret.
Wrestling has so many different styles. Technical wrestling is one of them, and if that's what you enjoy, then great - you probably do hold Bret/Shawn's Iron Man as the pinnacle of the industry. But I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that most fans are not lovers of technical wrestling. The arena were bored to death and I am struggling to think of many technical matches in the modern era that the fans got truly invested in - maybe Punk/Bryan at Over The Limit, but that's it. |

I didnt say I didnt enjoy Rock/HHH as ive watched it many times just hated the far too many decisions.
Just heard this morning that Muhammad Ali passed away last night which is sad news. I remember him being in a ton of promo stuff for the first Wrestlemania and him being the referee. I do remember him in WCW when Bischoff gave him a award and from the looks of him he didnt seem all there. Sad to read about how bad his health declined. |

Could have been a awesome moment Flair in the Rumble then Steamboat comes out. |

Oh yeah the production was a load of bollocks too don't get me wrong. Just not the main issue with it. I know Dixie likes to try and compete but steer away from the 'Shittest Wrestling Moment Of The Week' category. WWE had that award won with the first 20 minutes of Raw but TNA managed to knock it out of the park.
Have ti say too my brand extension enthusiasm is waning after this week. The more I see and hesr the less I like the idea. It has a hint of 'same show, different faces' already |

Fans clearly want to cheer Rollins and AJ but instead WWE go out their way to turn both heel while none of Usos, Steph or Reigns are - all of whom its clear the wants want to boo. The AJ turn was executed well don't get me wrong but so unnecessary. I do feel more and more WWE are feuding with their own fans. |

Can I just say how ridiculous it is that we have Rollins and AJ as heels and Reigns and the Usos as faces - with Steph in that weird not a face but not a full-on heel flux?

WWE are now at that stage where they are just trying too hard to make Roman Reigns the top babyface even Roman himself can see it's not working out especially with his I'm not a good guy I'm not a bad guy I'm the guy promo. Your post reminds me of commentary explaining to the viewers that fans cheer who they normally boo and boo who they normally cheer at the start of the post Wrestlemania Raw it just made me cringe.
The thing is the build genuinely could genuinely be like that for the 2 big singles matches at MITB - heels being cheered, faces being booed and it reflects badly on WWE. |

AJ Styles vs John Cena confirmed for MITB.
I would have saved that match for Summerslam as it is a match people have been waiting years for even if just becuase AJ was the biggest name outside WWE. |

I personally feel they rushed it. The club only just split and they suddenly join back and go heel. This should have panned out for the next few weeks.

Lots of reports stating Lesnar is very close in resigning with the UFC. They are hoping to have him fight at UFC 200 in July!!
Would be awesome to see him fight again back in the UFC and also funny that he would of headlined Wrestlemaina and fight in the UFC again all before CM Punk lol |

It's a one match deal WWE has agreed to.
I doubt Vince will have agreed for nothing he will be getting something out of this maybe Ronda Rousey having the HHH and Steph vs Rock and Rousey match. |
