It'll almost certainly be Goldberg/Lesnar for the title, which is probably for the best. Jericho/Owens will be the US title match. Not sure Balor will be back in time. It sounds like he recently suffered a setback. That might actually be a blessing in disguise, as it's tough to figure where he would slot in otherwise.

Just because they aren't teasing that Orton could go for either title doesn't mean they couldn't come up with a cockamamie reason to do a match for brand supremacy.

The steel grate being under pads doesn't accomplish anything in terms of making the structure seem barbaric lol

She probably deserved it no less than any of the other women pre-NXT call-ups.

They've handled the division really well.

They could always do an interbrand match. Bump Shane off the card, and do AJ/Joe. Or have him face Sami Zayn. Or any number of things. It's not like there was any room for Joe on the Mania card before Seth's injury, so they'll just have to put him in something and hope it doesn't hurt his momentum.

Disagree. I like the cut of Mania's jib this year.

New EC design was cool, but I have mixed feelings about them going from steel grates to crash pads. On the one hand, it makes the chamber seem a lot less barbaric. On the other hand, now it's kind like a bounce house of wrestling, with much more potential for crazy shit.

Naomi doesn't "deserve it," but I'm cool with her getting a chance to shine. Her in-ring work has looked better lately, she's decently over, and the division could use more stars. So, sure. Why not.

That said, it went down pretty easily. I never realized how much I wanted a Barry/Wally race with everyone gambling on it until I got it.

He grew on me this episode. Turns out, he's a fun character when he actually allows himself to play.

Low bar.

Who, you mean Gil?

I always wanted to be Ravenclaw because Gryffindor seemed too flashy, whereas Ravenclaws just seemed clever, which is more up my alley.

You know, I should actually get the Season 1 DVD, if only to hear the commentary on each episode. That's gotta be most excellent.

Next season's theme song is going to be so lit.

Didn't it serve as the template for "I Love My Daughter (But Not in a Creepy Way)," which made its triumphant return in a medley reprise tonight?

Pacing was rushed, but those big leaps forward often paid off with great episodes.

Ohhhhhhh, I just got #BunchOfChans.
