I actually like McIntyre's new theme, but man, nothing beats the O.G.


Last week saw several shifts in the landscape on Monday night's. Drew McIntyre appeared to end Dean Ambrose's tenture with WWE. He also seems set on a collision course with Roman "Big Dog" Reigns, perhaps even at WrestleMania. Truly McIntyre is finally fulfilling the promise his inaugural run with company failed to live up to. And while the "Scottish Psychopath" moves onto bigger and better things, one of his more recent high profile adversaries, Kurt Angle, prepares to draw his own career to a close. Indeed, it was McIntyre who really kicked Angle onto the road to retirement when he submitted the Olympic Gold Medalist with his own ankle lock submission last November. Tonight, Angle announces his opponent for WrestleMania, his final opponent, his final match. Who will it be? Well, there is a fella who loves big matches and doesn't have anything lined up at Mania. He'll keep your soul straight, and brush your mouth like colgate...

That isn't all though as we continue the build toward WWE's biggest show of the year. Finn Balor has a mystery partner scheduled to team with him opposite Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush in tag team offence! Ronda Rousey will no doubt be calling out Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, Batista might be screaming at a company executive to give him what he wants (hey, worked last week!) and we continue building the tag team scenes for both men and women as we roll on the Road to WrestleMania!

Oh! And Brock Lesnar is here... I genuinely forgot that and had to slide in a quick edit!

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Is this FunKay dude a bot? It seems that the dude only posts previews of shows ripped off of WWE.com's own previews..

[BaconBits]

I want Brock to go over Seth. That is all.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

I want WrestleMania to return to March instead of April.

[MF Doom]

Is it weird that Lio Rush is the only one I care about out of these 4

[BaconBits]

Braun looks like he’s cutting weight. Ripped Braun would be insane looking.

[BaconBits]

Travis Browne being featured on WWE TV is a bad look.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

I still don't know my take on Braun at the moment.

[BaconBits]

I still don't know my take on Braun at the moment.

I think should get back into strongman. Like take a year or two and dedicate himself to it. If he were to win the Arnold or WSM he would add some legitimacy, and WWE LOVES legitimacy.

You may be on to something there mr bacon bits

[BaconBits]

Wonder how many future main eventers are in that conga line. I mean there are Rosebuds in all types of prominent positions on TV.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

It's funny because you're being sarcastic.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Braun Strowman and Kalisto had some success, but that's about it.

Edit - Forgot Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I'd be shocked if they really did that match

[Skairipa]

FUCK YES! We're getting Gable vs Angle before Angle retires!

[BaconBits]

Braun Strowman and Kalisto had some success, but that's about it.

Edit - Forgot Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch

Elias, Carmella and Ruby Riot were also Rosebuds.

[Wildcat66]

Shit. Can you imagine what a Chad Gable and peak Kurt Angle match would be like? Chad Gable vs. Kurt Angle in general is an awesome match.

[Skairipa]

I would have loved to seen that, that shit would have been fantastic.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I'm thinking Corbin somehow gets replaced by Cena at the last minute.

[BaconBits]

I'm thinking Corbin somehow gets replaced by Cena at the last minute.

I could definitely see that.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Tonight's show has been very disappointing, considering it's WrestleMania season

[BaconBits]

I’m thinking the Women’s tag titles get some kind of multi team clusterfuck at Mania.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Please stay in the back, Nia and Tamina

[BaconBits]

Please stay in the back, Nia and Tamina

Theyâ??re in catering.

[supermatto64]

Women being catty, the best way to promote a feud with women.
Or at least with Natalya. Ha!

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Did I miss Brock coming out making weird high pitched screams yet?

[klunderbunker]

I'm sure Trish and Lita were asked, but Beth and Natalya isn't exactly inspiring as a legends team.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

True but I'm happy with anyone besides Nia and Tamina

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Noooooo :lmao:

[supermatto64]

Oh no, why couldn't they have just stayed in the back for cupcakes?

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

They’re in catering.

Looks like they finished

[BaconBits]

Oh no, why couldn't they have just stayed in the back for cupcakes?

Ate em all.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

"Obviously an elaborate plan from Tamina and Nia"

Gee thanks for pointing that out Cole

[BaconBits]

It’s funny because Nia isn’t actually strong.

[supermatto64]

Ate em all.

God damnit they need more come next week.

[BaconBits]

I like Mojo.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

When is Mojo going to escape promo land with his mirror?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Is that all it takes to get a title shot?

[klunderbunker]

Noooooo :lmao:

Well see the idea is the champs vs. a Raw team, a Smackdown team and a legends team. Now don't worry about those options being limited. WWE had an idea and that is what we're getting, whether it works or not because it's a WWE idea.

[supermatto64]

My hearing is pretty bad and I was looking at my phone, so when I looked up to see the lights off I thought Bray was returning at first.

I miss Bray.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Jinder looks gigantic vs Ricochet.

[BaconBits]

Jinder looks gigantic vs Ricochet.

He’s a big dude even without the enhancement. Ricochet is a manlet.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Jinder shouldn't be getting in this much offense.

[klunderbunker]

I met Ricochet down in Orlando two years ago and I was bigger than he was (and I'm not even 6'). McIntyre on the other hand.....my neck hurt for a little bit.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

That 630 is amazing.

[BaconBits]

Ronda’s angry face is so hilariously bad.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

This match will be under 2 minutes long.

[BaconBits]

How awesome would it be if they put the strap on Dana for the lulz.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What happened to Dana Brooke, she looks odd up close, like she lost too much weight on her face or something. I can't place it.

[BaconBits]

Sheâ??s lost a bunch of weight in general.

[klunderbunker]

So the solution to make Ronda get booed is to have her do what made her the hottest female athlete in the world.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Nice try Dana.

[BaconBits]

I cannot believe Travis Browne is on RAW.

[supermatto64]

Rousey's in ring attire will never not look weird to me. So much adjusting.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Rousey's in ring attire will never not look weird to me. So much adjusting.

Ya she needs better shorts that don't ride up so high, it just looks uncomfortable.

[BaconBits]

I hope it turns into a storyline for Dana.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

What happened to Dana Brooke, she looks odd up close, like she lost too much weight on her face or something. I can't place it.

Look again. She got too much lip injection. It looks hilarious up close. Paige got it too and she looks stupid.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Good way to build Corbin as a threat to Angle, have him lose to a Sunday Night Heat level guy.

[supermatto64]

Dave playing the Rocky card

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I like how the bumper fell off by itself.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Theres an Andre The Giant Battle Royale mention, zero build.

[klunderbunker]

Dang it why do we need a battle royal?

[supermatto64]

"Separate these two, they're about to have a match!"

[supermatto64]

Can't say I didn't see that one comin

This time around it means that Brock Lesnar is actually here for a change and is likely going to get in Seth Rollins’ face. We also get to find out who will face Kurt Angle in his retirement match. Let’s get to it.
