I actually had to rewind that sequence because I was certain that I had missed something. Then, like the other response indicates, I just started laughing hysterically.

That Smackdown Women's title feels weird in the sense that in a recent Sam Roberts interview Charlotte was explicitly putting over them having two women's matches on the Mania main card, so it seems that something most likely changed there.
And almost forget, I recommend watching the Neville/Aries promo duel from 205 Live as they did a great job putting over their match heading to Mania.
That Styles/Shane contract signing was from content perspective. I understand the concept of the story there, but the moment Shane started putting himself over as someone who forces his opponent to dig deep honestly made me laugh as he saying this to the guy who went to war with Reigns, Cena and Ambrose in the past…
I realized how successful they were being with the mixed gender match as I momentarily felt honestly uncomfortable after the Miz and Cena promos, so kudos for both teams for that. Although man does Cena come across as a giant dick at times for me, but then that is nothing new. Especially that question about Miz and…
For those interested, WWE announced the Kickoff show matches, which are going to be the Cruiserweight title, the Smackdown Women's title and the Andre the Giant Battle Royale. And as is somewhat clear at the moment, the Smackdown tag team titles won't be defended at Mania. Nothing shocking considering how much stuff…
I realize that the show is operating on a seemingly really tight budget, I get that, but I still just started laughing hysterically at that DEA agent scene. So their whole plan was to send four guys in at once while one guy remains having a smoke by the car, and all this is in broad daylight. No command center, no…
It was an utterly brilliant character moment in addition to being hilarious. Harold knew that Joy meant the most in this world for Ward, so his final strike against his son was to turn his daughter against him.
As much complaining I've seen about how Styles deserves better at Mania than having to face Shane, for me I'd argue that Charlotte is bigger loser here when it comes to Mania builds. Don't get me wrong, this is partially my biases and I also agree with a lot of the Styles sentiments, but at least he feels important on…
While generic, I thought the Reigns/Undertaker confrontation was pretty effective in giving their match this big fight feel. On the other hand, while it wasn't tug-of-war with the title, that Lesnar/Goldberg confrontation was bizarrely anti-climatic.
I think they actually enhanced two Raw matches with their stipulations tonight.
I thought the Rollins/Triple H segment was really good and there were just so many small touches I liked from them playing with Triple H's constant need to assert his power to Seth's quiet presence to him finally doing a really great job explaining why this match means so much for him. That 'I liked myself before I…
This episode once again reminded us how bad the writing is in laying the groundwork for revelations. When Danny started discussing his rage issues and how he has difficulties containing it, the only time we were really shown signs of that was in the first episode where he kept having those flashy moments and after…
That Danny/Davos discussion, as Davos's scenes in general, were just wonderful and, while I know that it is inevitable that Davos becomes Danny's enemy, they finally did some really good ground work for that. When they had Davos explain that he wanted to be Iron Fist, but was okay with Danny getting it because he was…
What drives me nuts about killing Bakuto plot is that I still don't understand why that would solve the issues with the Hand. It is an international crime organization that is slowly making its way to New York, yet nobody seems to ask how whacking the guy who runs the local indoctrination center is supposed to cause…
You know, I was thinking the same thing. Even during the second half of the Luke Cage when it got so ridiculously stupid, it was never dull. Thos dumb things were just thrown at your face followed by a manic laughter, while Iron Fist, even when it is good, feels like watching that guy who went to India trying to…
Technically not all of them were black guys, the DA was a black woman, but it is kind of weird. Actually I think Luke Cage is the only exception where the highly achieved black professional person does not get killed in a gruesome manner.
I just buried my face in my hands as they were passing Lawrence's death as a suicide as there is no way that would pass off as suicide, especially with the very conspicious circumstances surrounding it. The dude was shot in the middle of the forehead, which I think would create such a media storm around the company,…
I honestly struggled with this episode as I liked it, but it felt like they crammed three episodes worth of plot twists in to one episode, which in turn caused that nothing there had room to breathe. It was welcome to paradise, something skethy here, it's all evil. Because of that, those big emotional beats didn't…
I felt this was the first episode where Danny actually felt like a human weapon and that destruction of the Hand at the courtyard was a great example of that. It also, and I suspect this is not a coincident, looked like that this was the episode where they finally found a stunt double who looked enough like Finn Jones…
