There is another rumour than Cesaro, who has been on the shelf for a while now, is about to return that could be at the Battle Royale where he once won.
MTG Arena Standard decks I have been playing so far: Dimir Rogue Control, Gruul Aggro, Mono Blue Lotus
MTG Arena Historic decks I have been playing so far: Azorious Auras, Dimir Zombie Hunt
John Cena has actually been CLEARED to compete. Rumours of him popping up on Mania night! WWE Divas Champion to be dropped and replaced with a new "Women's" Championship Bill f*cking Goldberg is rumoured to be make an appereance - obviously mostly speculation - probably april fools nonsense Sting confirms he isn't retiring, wants match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania at some point.
Meltzer: I don't know if they're gonna do it or not off the Titantron, we'll see if they're gonna do.
my god shane-o gonna die
I listened to the latest WOR and yeah, that one caught me off guard... That would be insane.
And for those of you who don't know, it seems that as of right now the Undertaker vs Shane McMahon HIAC match will be going last and closing the show. Which makes a ton of sense, especially because how the f**** are you going to follow Undertaker in Texas and a 45-foot drop spot from the titantron? Sunday gonna be a hella night!
Interesting comments from Jericho regarding WrestleMania 2000's main event.
I had no clue it was originally Jericho, not Foley, but eventually Foley replaced Y2J. First time hearing about this, did some googling and found this.
Well, both refers to Rumble in the Jungle, and Bomaye means "Kill him" that probably won't go well with some casual crowds. But Bomaye does also refer to Nakamura's mentor Antonio Inoki so the meaning seems to lose a bit.
Any news on the backstage reaction/fallout to wrestlemania?
Overall positive.
Wrestlemania actual attendance was around 95,000 (still a WWE Wrestlemania Record) $17 million gate (another WWE record, Only Floyd has gotten larger gates because Floyd) 1.81 million subscribers (1.45 million paid)
In terms of fan response - huge hate. Much larger than I expected. They did mute the crowd for Roman, watching videos off fan's recordings they were booing him heavy throughout the main-event, and showered him with boos when he was walking out with the belt. There was also supposed to be confetti for Reigns, but for some reason they didn't go through with it.

Yeah but to mute the crowd would require some awareness. I get doing it at pre-recorded events, but to finish the biggest Mania ever?
Surely there have to be people behind the curtain who are pissed. And I imagine the locker room might feel about all the fan favourites going down and the response, not only on social media but also on proper wrestling websites
Just watched the full Takeover. A good 4 or 5 of the matches were better than Ramen/haitch
NXT is awesome, I'm almost thinking they should keep Bayley there for awhile instead of introducing her to the trainwreck main roster where she may get buried real quick.
The problem the WWE has now with the "Divas"/Women's division is that it's too crowded. The Divas/Women's championship storylines should continue to be great like the past 6 months if they keep it between 2 or 3 girls. Are they continuing Charlotte-Becky-Sasha? Or is Natalya getting a filler spot?
Then you have the girls who are still divas/Total Divas; Summer, Lana, Paige(can still mix it in with the Women's title angle), etc. It's gonna be hard shedding that divas image out when the rest of the women still have to do similar storylines.
Bayley and Asuka are actually better off staying in NXT. I think they're gonna have to introduce a women's tag team title on the main roster if they want to go away from "divas." This way, some of the girls who aren't Women's Champion material can still be champs.
I think the women's division is in a great spot though. that triple threat was the best match of WM-32 and I hope 5/10/20 years from now in hindsight, people will continue to talk about it.
