Has anyone watched the latest WWE 24 on the network. This one is a behind the scenes look at wrestlemania last year. Love these shows. The emotion shown by vince and Steph towards Shane really makes me question a lot of the talk about their relationships.

The problem with raw is that their booking makes no sense.

A lot of the matches you don't know who is the heel or face.

Are Roman and Braun heel or face right now?

Is Steph a Heel or a face?

What about Chris and KO, they're meant to be heels but they're more charismatic, funnier and more entertaining than the 'face' which makes you want to cheer them.

So the crowd don't know who to cheer for.

Chris and KO are faces.

Roman and Braun are heels.

Steph is, well Steph is just Steph.

Well, gooseberry fool.

Hopefully an angle?

Oh dear. Let's hope he's able to make 'Mania. I'd hate to suffer through another year of build up to his Triple H 'Mania match. Honestly, and I realise I'm probably in the minority, I don't think he's been performing as well in the ring since his return. I'd be happy to see Joe vs. Rollins benched, if it meant a better set up. It almost feels too convenient to be true, with Joe being dubbed The Detroyer.

Oh well. At least it makes Joe look strong.

If it's legit then it's karma for Sting and Balor.

Watching last year's Rumble match, I completely forgot Lesnar was in that one too. Did his angle with the Wyatts actually go anywhere after the three of them eliminated him?

Miz coming in and just going straight to the announce table and joining in on the commentary :lol:

Think Seths injury is legit, even his wrestling school Black and Brave are posting get well soon on Instagra. For strawberry float sake. Hopefully not serious, at least the roster is stacked going into Mania.

So do we get Orton vs Cena at Mania or Orton vs Bray? I know we have seen Orton vs Cena a fair few times before (to say the least) but it feels different this time for some reason. Smackdown made me think maybe this Wyatt story has legs.

So I wonder if we get Orton vs Cena, Orton wins and then RKOs Bray to set up Summerslam.

They've set up Orton v Cena for next week, which I'm sure they wouldn't if that was also going to be the Mania match. Has to be Bray or both

Lucien wrote:I think Cena/Orton/Bray is the best match available, although Bray being introduced cheapens the Rumble win a bit... they've cheapened it a few times before though. On Talking Smack Randy said people wanted to see Orton vs Cena. That's got to be trolling? :lol:

I cannot believe it looks like Lesnar is facing Goldberg. I'd have put Goldberg against Taker (in lieu of Cena) - the match would suck but it'd be a once in a lifetime kind of deal.


I'm quite liking the change for Brock, Goldberg is his 'bogey team' if you will, makes a good change from suplexing everyone for 20 mins and winning constantly. Storywise I don't know why Goldberg would accept unless they bring his family back into it or something.

It's an MP4 file so you can download it on a computer and then transfer it to play on another device.

Only way to stream it directly from YouTube is if you have a VPN on your iPad using a country that doesn't air WWE exclusively on TV...which can be pot luck.

Thanks I might give this a try on my laptop over the weekend. If it works then I will cancel sky sports like I've been saying for the past year or so :lol:

If you have a PS4/Xbox One the Daily Motion app or through their internet explorer is good for getting Raw/SD in almost HD pretty easily. I have Sky Sports down stairs but house is too busy to ever get watching it down there so should probably just cancel as well, the footballs always terrible too.

Reports Rollins is out for 8 weeks, just before Mania....

Anyone got a link to that ESPN 30 for 30 XFL documentary?
