0. Sorry, got here about 5 minutes late, in the middle of Shane's promo. Anyways, let's get started!
1. Aaaand here comes Vince!
2. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a solid crowd can turn a good show into a GREAT show.
3. Yup, there's our first CM Punk chant. That didn't take long.
4. That picture's getting broken sometime tonight.
5. Called it.
6. Dang, calling Wrestlemania his greatest success and Shane his greatest failure, that's harsh.
7. If those four well-trained security guys can't handle a 46 year-old non-wrestler, they may need to start searching for a new profession.
8. As much as I love Y2J and Styles, if they win tonight, I'm going to be severely disappointed. The New Day, as far as I'm concerned, is still just as entertaining as ever.
9. Kevin Owens' trash talk is syblime.
10. Only KO can make "Mate!" sound like an insult. He's just so freaking good.
11. Oh myyy Neville landed on his feet after a suicide dive over the top rope! That was impressive, that man can fly.
12. DANG that suplex looked painful! That was dangerously close to Neville straight-up landing on his neck.
13. Shooting Star Press from the top rope!!
14. I wonder what it feels like when guys like Neville hit their peak height during moves like that. He must've been at least 10 feet in the air.
15. Speaking of air, Kevin Owens almost hits the moonsault!
16. Good way to end the match with both guys looking good.
17. KO going for the apron powerbomb, I like it. Puts him over as a strong heel.
18. SAMI ZAYN COMES OUT!!
19. Does this mean Zayn vs Owens at Wrestlemania?? I'm 100% down for that.
20. Oh man, the Internet might explode if that match happens.
21. Free Wrestlemania, that's pretty freaking awesome. And bold.
22. Whoa, Lesnar vs Wyatt is happening?? Okay, that alone is worth the price of admission.
23. Also, see my recent article about Bray Wyatt and his family here.
24. Oooh, I'm liking Zack's beard.
25. It's too bad that that Survivor Series match is generally forgotten about, because it definitely could've been a coming-of-age moment for Dolph Ziggler. That was a heck of a match, and it featured the debut of one of the greatest superstars of all time, Sting.
26. I'm sorry, but the League of Nations is just boring now. Sheamus is starting to lose me as a fan, Del Rio is still boring, even if he's a good wrestler, Barrett is going nowhere (which is too bad, cuz his Bad News gimmick was really working), and Rusev is being utterly wasted.
27. Possibly unpopular opinion: Summer Rae is very underrated.
28. I'm sorry, but I don't need to see a clip about Brie and Daniel buying a scooter on Raw.
29. Okay, I don't understand the company's booking of Lana.
30. Dean Ambrose is beginning to get crazy over, this is impressive. I truly believe we're seeing the emergence of a star.
31. Imagine if Ambrose does actually win on Saturday, and then Rollins somehow returns. Triple Threat between the three former members of the Shield. Talk about money.
32. Oooh, breaking the fourth wall a little bit there with that "idiot in Marketing" comment.
33. Also, good promo so far from both guys! I got a bit distracted.
34. Hahahaha the Mr. Hammerstone comment was high quality.
35. Ambrose vs Wyatt tonight, I love it!! Hopefully both guys come out looking good tonight.
36. I'm actually intrigues to see where this Y2AJ storyline goes. I can't see them just being a tag team, that seems too simple.
37. Okay, what was the purpose of bringing back King of the Ring if they're just gonna continue to ignore the winner? Barrett's barely gotten any screen time as of late.
38. Also, I feel bad for Rusev. The guy is immensely talented.
39. A clean superkick is honestly one of my favorite things about wrestling. The crack when it's executed perfectly is just fantastic.
40. Of course Barrett's the only guy to get eliminated. Still, probably the right decision overall.
41. Excellent work as always by the WWE video team, that Shane video was great.
42. A Triple Threat match is definitely the right decision, I'm psyched for that.
43. Dangggg, that pop for Sasha! Talk about being over.
44. These three ladies have all really improved since their debuts, the Divas division has a bright future.
45. Speaking of which, I'm calling it now: Bayley will debut the night after Wrestlemania.
46. Hahahaha okay, Truth is pretty funny. Still, I feel like this angle has been given waaaaay too much screen time.
47. AAAAAWWWWW CHICAGOOOOOO
48. It hasn't happened yet^, but I'm anticipating it. Chicago better explode for these guys.
49. That's what I'm talkin about!! Chicago's going wild for these guys!
50. Hahahahahaha I love these guys.
51. I said it already, but as much as I love both Styles and Jericho, I really hope they don't win.
52. Well we know this is a special occasion, Jericho is wearing a shirt!
53. Honestly, I think the finish here that would lead to the most promising follow-up storyline is either A)Jericho turns on Styles or B)Someone interferes to set up a match with Jericho, Styles, or both of them.
54. Woods is brilliant on the sidelines, he's just always talking. He's definitely the type of guy I could see as a manager once he retires.
55. Unicorn Stampede!!
56. Ouch, did JBL just call him Mario? That's a rough one.
57. The trombone was honestly such a creative addition. These guys are so innovative and entertaining, I love it.
58. How widely observed is the rule that you have to be holding that little string in the corner to get tagged in?
59. WHAT A MOVE from Styles!! That looked awesome!
60. Interesting way to break up the pin, I like it! The little things like that can make a big difference.
61. Was that a 450 Splash off the top rope??
62. Oh yeah, this match is heating up, and the crowd knows it too.
63. Big E is honestly so strong.
64. That was a good match. As of right now, I don't really see the point of it, but that could change shortly.
65. Don't get me wrong, it was a good match, but not superb. Could've been better, especially considering the talent involved. A lot of that is probably due to a relatively short amount of time available, though.
66. CALLED IT! (See 64)
67. Yup, I think I'm excited about this. Although I have to admit, I'd still rather have seen Styles vs Owens (not that I'm complaining about Owens vs Zayn).
68. Dang, three Codebreakers. Y2J is serious.
69. Less than a month until Wrestlemania...god dang. I can't wait!
70. Here comes Kalisto!
71. HBK on SportsCenter tomorrow!!
72. Breeze is on TV! I repeat, Breeze is on TV!! Too bad he's definitely going to lose...
73. Kalisto's athleticism is just crazy.
74. Yup, that was pretty quick. I feel bad for Tyler, the guy is talented. In my opinion, the gimmick just happens to have a ceiling.
75. Speaking of jobbers, are we getting another Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? Or was that just a two-time thing?
76. I have to admit, not seeing Roman Reigns the past few weeks has been...well, great. Haven't really missed him.
77. Kalisto's got a future in this business. Amazing in the ring, good on the mic, and WWE is always looking for the next Latino superstar to connect with that audience.
78. What...? Where is this promo going?
79. Remember when Ryback got a pop so big that the camera was literally shaking? That seems like an eternity ago.
80. For jobbers, these guys are entertaining. Especially Bo.
81. Random question: how much longer is Cody Rhodes going to have to perform under the Stardust gimmick? Considering that Rollins, Cena, and Cesaro are all currently out, Wrestlemania could be a decent time for the old Cody to come back. God knows his pop will be insane.
82. Or, probably even better, the night after Wrestlemania. It just feels like it's time.
83. I like both of these guys, but please, for the love of God, let Bray Wyatt look strong. He needs it.
84. Bray Wyatt is such a fantastic character. If WWE ruins him, that may be one of the few things could legitimately make me stop watching the product.
85. I'm actually really looking forward to that Lesnar vs Wyatt match. There are many ways WWE could get this right, here's hoping they do so. Honestly, I don't even think Wyatt has to win, he just needs to put on a strong showing without too much interference from his family (speaking of which, I'm glad they're not out tonight. As great as they are, having Bray come out without them occasionally helps his credibility.)
86. This is a match that, 10 years from now, if WWE plays their cards correctly, we could realistically be seeing for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
87. These two guys have some of the best clotheslines in the biz. God DANG!
88. Ambrose's head planted straight onto the barricade, that looked painful!
89. What happened to Bray's "whole world in his hands" chants? Those were pretty sick.
90. Aaaaand the Family shows up. I expected that, even though I was sort of hoping that they wouldn't show up. It does put him over as a heel, I suppose.
91. And HHH comes out...if we get some Wyatts vs Authority foreshadowing right now, I will mark the heck out.
92. YEEEEEESSSSS oh please let that mean something, oh please oh please oh please.
93. Ambrose hits Triple H with Dirty Deeds!
94. If Dean somehow does win the title on Saturday, the building is straight-up going to explode.
