Well there are rumours she's leaving WWE after wrestlemania so I guess WWE are allowing her to say whatever she wants as its "best for business"
Interesting there's not been much talk about Undertaker appearing at this years Mania. Seems the main focus is on the Angle match with people annoyed that Corbin is facing him instead of his first WWE opponent, Cena.
Ironic than Undertaker is still making appearance's to wrestle considering his interview in 2002 where he talked about "not wanting to be one of those guys that's past his prime and people saying that you should have seen him back then". He was about 37 at this point, Hogan was 49, and here we are years later with Undertaker still trying to do matches. It's not so much that he can't perform its more the fact he looks totally out of breath after a short period of time, he tries to wrestle like he's 30 years old forgetting he's 54.
Be interesting to see if he does appear but realistically he messed it all up after the Wrestlemania 33 ending where he left his gear in the ring. Just goes to show its ok for him to talk about others in their older years still wrestling, but when he gets there himself he doesn't view himself in the same way.

First time I think I can ever respect Travis Browne - unreal reactions.
Screw that guy though!

So many cringey speeches and video packages. Vince and his obsession with "sports entertainment" just made a lot of the stuff sound stupid. People saying "i remember my first sports entertainment event" when talking about the first time they went to a wrestling event, even it if was the 60's/70's or 80's they are referring to, literally decades before Vince even pulled that little phrase out of his ass as he can't stand the fact that's what he's successful at. It sounded like he instructed most of the inductees specifically not to say wrestling\wrestler, though some still did.
The "legacy" video package said "sports entertainment" a ton of times as well and it was mainly about wrestlers that were in the ring decades ago.
Vince really needs to clue into the fact that he can coin a dinky little phrase, but what he does is still "pro wrestling", no matter how much he tries to say it isn't.

I'd wager it's more tired crowd than anything. They were hot for the opener and Bryan/Kofi. The event is just far too long 
The Lesnar match was pathetic, his usual 2 move performance, the only difference this time around was Rollins was the one hitting multiple finishers. Personally i hope he ****** off to MMA and never returns as his overall performances in wwe since his return has been nothing but phoning it in. He rarely appears, he doesn't even do his own promo's, his matches are even rarer (though since they're so bad that's a good thing) yet Vince still throws big money at him as in his mind he's "big box office". Sorry Vinny that ship sailed years ago, yet another thing he's out of touch with.
Angle's "farewell" match was pretty bad as well, obviously he's very limited in what he can do these days but for that to be his final performance....pretty lacking to say the least.
Undertaker not appearing was probably a good thing as well, realistically he should have called it a day 5 years ago. Wasn't much talk about him either this year in the build up to it so maybe that's him finally done.
Triple h match had an amusing spot with the nose ring though they made it very obvious in one of the videos as to what happened, batista covering his nose then the referee on camera handing triple h a nose ring with batista outside the ring taking his out. Just a badly placed camera angle caught it all.
The main event had an odd finish to it, Rousey's shoulders weren't on the mat for the entire 3 count, though whether that was intentional or not is up for debate.
Honestly, the event just seemed to drag on and on and on, its easily an hour too long and that's not even factoring in all that pre-show crap.

Apparently the Becky vs Rousey vs Charlotte wasn't suppose to end like that so no doubt WWE going have to turn it into a storyline now lol.
He shuffled his way to ring on RAW and beat up Elias.
He looked pretty rough there as well, his hair looks like its thinned out so much he's virtually bald on top.

WWE once again "unifying" championships..why?
the time spent actually wrestling compared to the intros, catwalk antics and general time wasting is depressing.
we know its sports entertainment, but only 7 minutes of Mandy Rose and Sasha Banks pummelling each other is
not enough
what happened to Charlotte's crazy Dad, did he ever return after she denounced him ?

Vince with another brainfart that he will eventually do a 180 on.
WWE have a tendency to do more waffling than anything else, how often does Raw even start with a match and not someone in the ring rambling incoherently with an obvious scripted promo that they don't sound at all convincing delivering? It must be some right of passage in wwe to have a promo say "each and every one of you" when addressing the crowd, it's the most overused phrase they have. And who actually talks like that?
We're meant to believe that everyone uses this phrase and nobody can use a variation of it. Saying "all of you" isn't good enough, it has to be "each and every one of you" (apparently saying all of you or everyone of you isn't specific enough) and then wwe wonder why their characters promos get criticised as not sounding convincing.
Their "genius" writing team is all but pointless as Vince has the final word and will always put his spin on something that ultimately sinks it. He's been out of touch for years now.
I mean look at that Lacey Evans ****, week after week of her coming out, walking down the aisle and then walking back up, it got old after the second week yet they kept on doing it and doing it. It's hilarious how utterly behind the times this company is mainly because of who's in charge. The idiot can't even admit his product is "pro wrestling" ffs. In Vince's own words "pro wrestling is what his dad did", so what are you doing that's so different? Its the same product on a bigger budget, end of story. Delusional old tit.
