    Roman vs Owens was fantastic imo.

    Supposedly Bray might win the elimination chamber next month to set up that Orton match. Bleh.

    No question Reigns and Owens did a good job. That is why the ending completely ruined it all. All their hard work was instantly wasted when that big giant goof showed up. I hate that. Especially with the build up and Jericho in the cage. Just stupid and classic Vince.

    What a terrible Royal Rumble main event...So tired of Roman Reigns. I think the only reason he is still around is because the Asian market in the world loves him.

    I also cannot understand the fascination with Taker now...He looked horrible. Dude needs to lay off the beer.

    Roman has gotten popular overall. A lot of people boo, but he gets quite the ovation once that dies down. Kids seem to like him too.

    Also a side note, his in ring performance has grown leaps and bounds.

    Now WWE has Kevin Owens as Universal Champion and Bray Wyatt as WWE Champion. Great for wrestling marks I guess, but the casual fan like myself: terrible. Both of them as champ shows how fake it is. I always make the mistake of thinking about it logically, which I know I should not. Haha.

    What's so bad about it? Bray deserves it, and Owens is a fantastic wrestler.

    Just not a fan of either, I guess. Probably two of my least favorites. Don't mind them being on the shows, but not as main eventers. Like I said, huge wrestling fans like them, so I get Vince giving them a push since WWE has lost most of it's casual fans.

    I understand that. They don't seem like the kind of guys that would be champion. I just like them personally, so I don't mind.

    Wait, so that is what seals it for you as being fake?

    Yep.
    Yeah, there is nothing wrong with that. Hope they end up putting on a good Wrestlemania.

    Am I the only one legitimately upset about the JeriKO breakup? That was my favorite angle.

    I used to watch it when Bruno Sammartino ruled the ring, trying to remember when I first started watching it on TV but I vaguely remember having to adjust the rabbit ears on the TV to get good reception. Just lost interest in the late 80's.

    YOU JUST MADE THE LIST! Yeah, it sucks they broke up, but I assume they will be facing each other at Wrestlemania, right? That should be good.

    That's totally the plan. I knew it would be, but it just stings. That was the first time I got mad watching wrestling in years.

    My grandmother got me into wrestling, Samartino, Bob Backlund, Mil Mascaras, I can go on and on, I used to fix the antennas for her TV.

    The funny thing is, if you go back and watch any highly acclaimed match from the Black and White era, all the matches are crazy boring. I get that it was a different world then, but the quality of entertainment is light years better now, but you'll have more people saying it sucks today than you did back then.

    I'm watching Fatlane too. It's in my home state. Maybe I should have gone.
