I just read that this years mania was the first time Howard Finkel did not appear.

I like how so many people, including myself, have seemingly only just realised the Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt match is NON-TITLE. Either I've not been properly paying attention or they've been intentionally vague about it on TV.

It is going to be a pre-tape in a disused house or something? Or a hardcore-style match in the building? Nobody knows anything about this damn match at all. Apart from that it's going to be WACKY.

I only heard about it last week from watching a whatculture video.

Apparently it was a championship match but Mahal stole the belt on SmackDown and drove off with it. So they've kind of pulled a bait and switch situation.

The lack of interest in Payback bodes well for Backlash...

The odd thing is there's a few of good match ups on the card Joe/Seth, Aries/Neville Bailey/Alexa and Reigns/Strowman should be fun. Plus Owens/Jericho but down on the match from their Mania one.

I put it down to once again there being far too much to watch in one week. My Wrestlemania/Nxt hype has all but gone after being quite up for watching on a week to week basis. Just couldn't keep up and overindulged.

Sasha on the pre-show :wub: Shame she doesn't have a match tonight (afaik).

Matt Hardy's overly white teeth look ridiculous. Like The Mask.

I was just thinking how ridiculous it is that Naomi had to give up her women's championship because she couldn't defend it in 30 days...Brock Lesnar won't have defended his belt in 3 months.

Didn't expect a Jericho win. I know that puts him on SD but does that mean KO is on raw or does he stay on SD?

Unexpected... Better than the match at 'Mania. Owens is definitely slimming down.

He stays on SD, I think.

The Network hasn't messed up at all tonight, which is very unusual. I wonder if that means there's minimal strain on the servers because less people are watching.

Another unsatisfying finish to a solid Aries / Neville match...

How do they expect people to give a gooseberry fool about 205 Live when the payoff matches are either relegated to the preshow or end in poor fashion.

The dramatic music for this 'Live' happening is something else.

And now Orton has been killed by a fridge.
