I'm convinced Charlotte/Becky/Rousey will close Mania, which could be the worst thing for them

Why would it be the worst thing? The pressure?

[Y 2 Jake]

It'll come at the end of a near 7 hour show.

I'm wondering if we're getting Beast vs Demon. Great tagline, but it limits them so I hope they go against it. I hope on Monday, Balor tells Heyman that he doesn't need the Demon to beat Brock. Finn can lose after a great fight, which leaves them with a tremendous built-in storyline should their paths cross ever again.

^ beast vs demon would be dope. However, I'd hate to see Balor lose while being the demon.

Just my opinion though.

The rumors are that Brock handpicked Balor due to his recent matches with smaller guys getting positive reviews and that Vince doesn't want Balor to use The Demon persona because he wants to keep it undefeated. It would be a really interesting story, but given how much sense those rumors make I tend to believe them. I wanna see Brock sell the Coup De Grace though, he sells body shots like he is literally dying.

[smarkmouth]

Yeah, that's what I mean by limiting. Either the Demon streak is broken or he wins. Either one doesn't leave much open ended for round two, should it happen

Havent watched a minute of wrestling since I went to super showdown. Will still watch the rumble, which will kindle the spark again and then i'll watch until mania and stop giving a shit two weeks later again...happens every year for the last 6 years I reckon

[Y 2 Jake]

Balor is a lock to go to Smackdown in the spring, so I don't anticipate The Beast vs. The Demon anytime soon.

Great card. It will be the first PPV I'll watch since Survivor Series (the one before that was Wrestlemania 34). I completely left the product this year... It just felt it was going downhill really fast. Let's see how they regroup in time for Wrestlemania.
