Yup its that time of the year again, the greatest show in sports entertainment and a few cracking matches lined up.
Seth Rollins vs Randy Orton ought to be the highlight and the build for this match has been excellent.
Bray Wyatt vs Undertaker............ I dont really know what to make of this one. The impact of Brock ending the streak 12 months ago was so absolute that I just dont know what they are trying to do? If hes just being wheeled out to put Bray over I dont really get it, what is the benefit to beating a beaten man? The Undertaker is widely known in wrestling circles as a man who would always put over lesser lights and do whatever was best for the future of the business so it wouldnt surprise me, because he knows he isnt the future and the likes of Bray are, but I dont think Bray Wyatt needs any help and it will be a shame to see a legend trotted out just to fail again.
Im hoping that he wins and the fans get a proper goodbye to the man who has given so much, but last years loss was so impactful I cant help feeling its an error regardless of the outcome.
Brock vs Roman Reigns. The Lesnar show at the Rumble was so impressive, so total and clear that I feel sorry for Roman Reigns. The fans have been on his back because of the clear push hes been given and the path opening up for him to the title, that its kind of another damned if you do, damned if you dont match. I think Lesnar will win and rightly so.
Ladder match for the intercontintal. Its a bit of a mess. You get the feeling Ambrose is getting the push but will the fans take Daniel Bryan being pissed on again. It was Bryan getting knocked out of the rumble that ruined that event and since then the fans have been very vocal in their condemnation of the decision re-Bryan.
Rusev vs Cena. Who cares. They have been trying to put Rusev over as this Iron Sheik, Sgt Slaughter style villain for over a year and the problem is nobody cares. The fans at the rumble were even chanting for him to win over Roman Reigns. I dont think the racist/xenophobe schtick works anymore.
Anyway. Im looking forward to it. I stopped watching for years and years but Mollys sudden interest (all consuming) has given us something cool to share so im really enjoying it like I was a kid again. We are going to Smackdown live in a few weeks and Molly is so excited. She is crushing on Roman Reigns so for her sake I hope he beats Lesnar, but lets be honest if he does its a joke. Lesnar is a monster, probably the best fighter ever in the business.
Im waking her up at 1am to watch so we should have a great night.
Wishes:
Taker to win.
Reigns to win.
Ziggler to win.
Orton to win
