WWE Made Last Minute Changes to the WWE Title Match?

According to PWInsider.com, and this was prior to the main event, the WWE was concerned about Reigns as the champion would be a bigger issue with the fans than having him lose his first WrestleMania main event. There was also a belief in the company that if they put the title on him too soon that it would hurt Reigns in the long run to the point that he would never be able to recover. They also reported that there was talk about last minute changes to the creative plan of the match.

Problems Between Steve Austin and WWE?

Austin was originally scheduled to attend WrestleMania last night but ended up not making it to the show and there was word going around that it was due to an issue he had with Vince McMahon, possibly about using his podcast on the Network.

Sting Update

According to Dave Meltzer, Sting told the AP that his WrestleMania match against HHH was likely his last match as a wrestler, although he would consider a match against the Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.

    She must love that we're in the era of "a guy can't even blink the wrong way at a woman". Jericho got over huge just on the basis of calling her a trashbag ho who'd been with every dude in the locker room and her shocked and indignant reaction. Now she'd just say "Chris, that's a disgusting and hurtful thing to say to a woman" and no sell it.

    Best part of the night: Brock says to Roman, "Suplex City, BITCH", and suddenly #suplexcity becomes the number one worldwide trend on Twitter. Just awesome.

    And am I the only one who finds dark, brooding crow-Sting screaming like bouncing bleach blonde colorful babyface Sting something of a paradox?

    Yeah, I didn't like the NWO being in Sting's corner. (Ignore tomato face wolfpack Sting for a moment). Hogan and Sting were arch enemies, Hall and Nash are friends with HHH (must be known by non internet fans too right?) It should have been DDP, Booker T, and Flair like you said. Flair was right there.

    Interesting, it was my first trip to Levi's and I was surprised that it felt kinda intimate for a full-scsle arena; maybe because it's really tall (the pre-show panel was way up there). The staff there was great, helpful and friendly, but the concession stand I went to during the concert ran out of water and Gatorade, which seems like a really big gaffe considering it was really sunny and presumably a lot of people were drinking.

    Any way, seems like a pretty good show... I was watching the replay and skipping around because I got home late and was intoxicated so I haven't seen the main event or half of the HHH/Sting match (I fell asleep, not from boredom).

    I know I'm in the minority but I don't like the idea of building up a WM main event between two guys and it ending with a third guy winning. It's fine for any other show but lame for WM. They should have just had Brock win.

    It's not like Rollins came out of nowhere, though. It might not've been hyped up that overtly but he was definitely a known possibility to leave as champion. I was on the fence about it as as a WrestleMania ending myself because I thought it was a strong possibility, but the way it played out I absolutely loved it.

    The ending of the main event was amazing. Even though many of us suspected how it would end, it was incredible. Also, anyone who has the opportunity to go to one of these live, please do so. It's so much more incredible doing the live experience even rewatching it on TV hours later was not as cool as having been there.

    I'm thinking Big Show would be the perfect squash victim for a newly-reinvested, harder-edged Roman Reigns. The guy Reigns couldn't put away decisively earlier in the year just gets unceremoniously destroyed by Roman, now a silent killer with a chip on his shoulder. Only viable use of Big Show at this point

    It would be really fun, especially if HHH was willing to make it his last match. You just KNOW he would love the revisionism of the three of those guys standing in the ring together for the last time while Cole/JBL scream about the "Three Icons of the Attitude Era"!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Paul LensingMarch 30, 2015 at 9:32 AM

    Surprisingly, I think I'm in the minority in thinking that this was not a very good overall show.

    The ladder match didn't do anything for me. Admittedly, I'm a little over the "bunch of guys try and climb ladders" matches. There is just so little that hasn't already been done in those matches and there's no psychology or anything to them. I thought with a fairly fresh group of guys, for a match like that, they would leave us with something memorable. Didn't happen. **1/2 at best.

    Orton/Rollins was a Raw main event, as we all expected it would be. Good work with a couple of good spots. ***

    HHH/Sting started strong but once all of the interference began, the wrestling match was essentially over. The booking didn't make sense as the NWO involvement, consisting of guys who feuded with Sting throughout the whole angle and HHH's buddies, was a stretch. Also, Sting should've gone over, plain and simple. He was booked to look like a guy who didn't belong there, just as HHH has said all along. ** for what wrestling there was.

    Divas were okay. About as good as you would expect. **

    Cena/Rusev was decent as matches between these two are going to be about like what've seen, no more and no less. I liked the body of the match a little better than FastLane but the finish was not as prolific as it should've been, considering the guy was undefeated. Essentially a Raw distraction finish. ***

    Rock/Rousey/Authority segment seemed out of place and took too long. Stephanie was great as usual, but, again, something like that with zero build or expectation at WrestleMania seemed out of place.

    Wyatt/Taker was bad. Undertaker just doesn't need to be out there anymore. Yes, he looked in better physical shape than last year, but he moves and looks like an old man. Really a letdown performance considering this was placed right before the main event.

    Reigns/Lesnar was great, and I could easily it going down as my favorite WM main event. The way the match unfolded up to the cash-in was almost perfect. The only thing I thought was a stretch was that it just took one ringpost shot to turn the tide after Brock had looked like he wasn't human up to that point. Minor and ultimately meaningless flaw as the cash-in was brilliant, made Seth look like a million bucks, allows for a Reigns rebuild without killing all of his credibility and the significance of his accomplishments, and keeps Brock as a monster that was taken advantage of. **** for the match. ***** for the booking.

    Pretty much spot on with my recollection of the show being there live. I was excited to be able to go to a WM but I also knew the build up was horrid. Completely blew away my expectations and I marked out like a little kid who still thought it was real when Rollins cashed in. I was yelling "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PIN HIM!" to Seth after his first curb stomp to Brock when he went to look at Reigns on the outside. I'm 28 years old and I was jumping up and down like a child when he won, just an unbelievable end to a fantastic show.


    And my day started off pretty great because Mick Foley was being carted around the parking lot and I got to fist bump him. He was my favorite WWE guy during the Attitude Era so that was like so awesome to my 12 year old self.

    Even though I hate Show, I don't have a big (pun intended) problem with him winning. The battle royal win didn't do shit for cesaro anyways, so it doesn't really matter to me that mizdow lost. He still got a monster reaction. Plus, Show idolizes Andre and they probably gave it to him as a gift.

  73. snapple070March 30, 2015 at 10:43 AM

    I thought the story they told in the match would help Reigns a little bit. Maybe it'll take some time. He didn't win but he took an ass beating and kept fighting. Plus he gave it to Brock, busting him open hard way early (plus Brock had quite the shinner forming on his cheek) and with the steel post shot blade job toward the end. And yes it was a blade job. On the Straight Shoot Podcast they were trying to say it was hardway. But it definitely was not. Brock had a Shawn Michaels like deft blade job but it was a blade job for sure.


    Anyway, I liked Reigns in this match. I just can't help but feel a heel turn would help re-create the badass persona. You mentioned the Rock, it was the heel turn that turned it around for him.

    ReplyDelete
  74. TheDDGMarch 30, 2015 at 10:43 AM

    I don't agree with ALL of this, but I'm generally on-board with it. I thought the Rock/Rousey segment was waaaaaaay too long, especially for such a weak-looking payoff. And if the idea is to build toward something for WM XXXII, do that shit on Raw next March. Don't waste 20 minutes on an already overly-long show.


    I did thoroughly enjoy HHH/Sting, although I think the wrong guy went over. Not a great match in the traditional sense, but the booking was perfect to disguise the limitations of the guys in the ring.


    And Lesnar wrestling himself to a **** match was nothing short of incredible. That guy is worth every penny that they're paying him. Great booking here, too, as we're not only spared a Reigns reign, but Brock's eventual pinfall loss becomes a huge deal for someone...unless it's fucking Cena.

    Taker/Edge rocked harder than it should have... and had a lot to live up to considering the drama that went on before it. There's no reason the crowd should have been that hot for the match... but Edge was just so damn good as a heel. He was very much under appreciated while he was active.

    Personally I loved the main event, but I could take or leave the rest really. Not a bad show, but nothing really stands out. The HHH/Sting match was OK for what it was. The Rock/Stephanie segment was just death.

    Yeah, I didn't love it either. Sting/HHH had no stakes other than the vague Sting taking HHH down, and he failed. And it turned into a nostalgic Monday Night Wars thing, which was fun but more of an Old School Raw thing. Then HHH shakes his hand in one of those mutual respect moments they should have had backstage since HHH was full heel again an hour later for a talking segment to make the surprise appearance of a part timer (if that) a bigger deal than most of the roster. Undertaker comes back for his annual dye job in his old man pants which means nothing without the streak...and the main event has the monster heel cheered against the face, which they knew would happen based on months of crowd reaction, so their best option is to have a guy who wasn't in the match win....sums up what I don't like about their "writing".

    The Rock/Stephanie segment would have been better if (1) it was 10 minutes shorter, and (2) Rousey had beaten the ever-loving shit out of Stephanie. Still, I was entertained.

    I tried listening to straight shoot a few times, can't get into it at all.

    I can understand that. I don't love it or hate it. The host guys voice is kind of a annoying and he does seem like a WWE homer. But it's OK when there is nothing else to listen to. And it was the first post Wrestlemania podcast to come up. So there was that.

    Vince is all about the money. I'm assuming it is more profitable for him to do it this way then the other. I know how much we spent on our tickets (floor ringside row 13 for Wrestlemania and RAW), and we would not have spent that much for a regular RAW and probably most house shows or PPVs.

    I was there too. Agree with everything you typed up. Great review/report.
    For some reason, Roman Reigns was WAY over in my section up in the cheap seats. Like, the people thought the match was real, kind of over. It was like something out of the Attitude Era or maybe even the territories in the old days. It was wild, especially considering how much he was booed elsewhere in the stadium. The beating Reigns took from Brock got him over even more in the section as a sympathetic underdog. Wild stuff.
