The perspective of someone who never watched wrestling before Wrestlemania. It's a really good read if you get a chance.

This was fun. Loved the part about Brock and Goldberg

"I like AJ, but I’m not sure I’m supposed to" is such a perfect description of him this last year.

**Kalmado** · 2017-04-04 09:49

I am super pumped for tonight's SDL hoping it indeed is Nak, Almas, and Tye getting the call ups. Hopefully a surprise DIY too! The first time I saw Almas (and before I knew about La Sombra) I hated the generic babyface character they gave him. After watching some stuff from CMLL and NJPW I was hopeful for a heel turn and here we are. While he's not racking up wins he is super entertaining to watch and I think he'll shine on SDL.

**Krandor** · 2017-04-04 09:58

Even if finding a character for him on NXT has been a bit of a struggle, taking off his mask was a brilliant choice. Almas could be a huge star based solely off his looks

Also, by all accounts next week doesn't look to be a draft, but a bunch of trades/deals/etc. Same general effect, but it's not going to be an entire roster shakeup

First time I saw Almas in NXT was a house show in Poughkeepsie , NY. He wrestled Tommaso Ciampa. It was awesome. I don't know how they screwed him up with that generic babyface gimmick.

Glad to hear this. A few trade choices is understandable. SDL is top notch right now, I really don't want them fucking with the chemistry by doing an entire draft.

i really just hope AJ isn't traded to raw if Nakamura makes it to SDL. But raw has Joe, and balor is back, so it could be good either way.

**Krandor** · 2017-04-04 11:07

I think Seth for AJ is gonna be the big trade, maybe something will change on SD tonight but it kinda feels like they're both out of storylines atm.

My main hope is that Corbin and Miz stay on SD, Talking Smack does wonders for the both of them.

**Delirium** · 2017-04-04 11:09

if I had to guess, based on nothing
Roman <- -> AJ (gets AJ on Raw and keep Roman away from Brock till Mania)
Charlotte <- -> Becky
Enzo and Cass <- -> American Alpha

**Nitsuki** · 2017-04-04 11:23

Then the universal title thing would be pointless, they're not bringing the universal title to SDL.

**Tyrath** · 2017-04-04 11:35

Please don't bring the Roman cancer to the clearly superior Smackdown.

**Krandor** · 2017-04-04 11:56

But think how many people are on that roster to help make Roman look strong.

I hate to agree, after Roman beat Strowman, he just shat on the entire raw roster.

It wouldn't be at all. They can do Brock vs Braun in a few months then do another shakeup or a draft around survivor series and move Roman back to Raw.

Freaking goosebumps rewatching some of the WM matches on the network with the commentary. My little brother was adamant Hardy Boyz weren't contracted with the WWE yet and I kept telling him, "nah bro chill, you never know!" Lost his fucking mind, along with pretty much everyone, when they came out lol. Say what you want about this WM, but shit really was a roller coaster ride of emotions. People were legit crying when it was over.

**Delirium** · 2017-04-04 14:11

"That's just a dick pic. I send those to your mom all the time."

**Xno Kappa** · 2017-04-04 14:14

Few pics of WM. Didn't take many, mostly was focused on recording entrances lol. Spoilered for huge and sideways.

Spoiler: show

Best pic I can get of Undertakers gear after it was over.

Spoiler: show

Pretty good seats! How much did those run?

The seats themselves came out to 1400~ for two. Not bad for floor seats in the 108 section which is basically the 50-yard line. I thought it was overall pretty cheap, but I bought it back in November. Overall spent maybe a little over two racks over the weekend.

Lesson learned though. Gonna do a WM weekend? Skip Hall of Fame and just do NXT>WM>Raw.
