| I only truly enjoyed the Owens and Cena match as well as the main event everything else was disappointing in not only the quality of the matches but the results as well, Prime time players as tag team champions? That is quite simply a fucking joke in my opinion, they had zero main show matches until Eliminations chamber so they've got the title off the back of some slightly funny promos? It makes no sense to me and it also kills some of the heat that New day were building.
So aye apart from the two matches I enjoyed it was a very disappointing show. |

| I thought the main event ran a little long, to be honest. Was kinda losing interest at the end. Cena vs Owens was bloody brilliant though! |

| My thoughts:
The Money in the Bank Match was weak. It had some really nice spots, such as Neville meeting an RKO. But I really didn't like how a match with so many competitors generally only had 2 guys in the ring at any given time. The ladder match at Mania was much better, with action all over the place. Impressed by Kofi taking such a pounding though.
The Divas put on a really good match. I like the Prime Time Players finally winning a belt, and hope this forces the New Day to become as vicious as they are sneaky.
A rematch between Ryback and Show: stinker, even with Miz.
Owens v Cena, and Dean v Rollins were excellent. |

| I'm looking forward to Battleground especially if the rumours are true and the NxT divas show up. |

| I really enjoyed that PPV. - Spoiler:
I love Charlotte Flair, so seeing her and the NXT Women getting involved was a lot better than the usual Divas toilet break. Owens and Cena went again, but I wasn't keen on the ending. I'd have liked Owens to win, or at least not tap out. Still, hopefully it'll wind up Internet cretins. Quality tag match again, that divisions looking strong. Reigns and Wyatt was a quality match up, even if I missed it doubled over a toilet. Also, hopefully that ending means we'll have a Bray+Harper vs Dean and Roman match at Summer Slam, which will be ace. Then there was that main event. I knew Rollins would walk away with the title, but not like that. . . TAKER! And he's looking strong, much better than he did at mania.
The only misstep for me was Miz coming out and running his mouth to try and excite me about a match that would've been gash anyway.

| Mixed bag, this one. - Spoiler:
The divas match exceeded my expectations - I'm really optimistic about the division's future.
Tag match was alright.
Roman/Bray was fine.
Cena/Owens was great up until the finish - dodgy one that. CENAWINSLOL, I guess.
Main event was your usual Brock squash up until Taker turned up. I'm excited to see Taker again... just not sure if I'm excited for Brock/Taker II, considering it's likely going to end in Taker getting his win back.

| - Spoiler:
I'm guessing Taker is building to retirement, and beating Brock has to be part of that. The only other thing I really need to see is the Brothers of Destruction back together. They've been teasing Kane turning back into the demon for a while and getting Taker involved might be the key.

I figure so too, and I second the wish for a Brothers of Destruction reunion/match. I hope this is a proper run (or at least a Brock Lesnar style run) until Wrestlemania - I'd be a little disappointed if he has a match at Summerslam and then buggers off until Mania again.

| - My battlegrounds thoughts:
The divas trilple threat match was by far my favourite of the night.
Followed by Wyatt and Reigns, also glad it was left with more to come and how Harper will finally be getting used again. (hope to see a Harper vs Reigns soon)
As for the Cena vs Owens 3? I wasn't massively pleased that they basically worked the same match as they did before (apart from the finish) maybe I was extremely tired by that point (only had about 3 hours sleep) technically it was great but I couldn't help but think "Yup I've seen this before" & I felt they missed a massive step by not adding Cesaro into the mix.
Great to see Taker, who always captivates your attention when that bell tolls though I did think he looked much older in the face since we last saw him.

| - Spoiler:
Sheamus v Orton, was better then I thought but don't really care about either of them
DIVAs match was great, and can't wait see the possible match ups they can have and even with those 3 on the main roster, NxT still has quite a few good divas.
Tag Match was okay, now I'm thinking who's next for the PTP though
Cena v Owens III was great but I was little disappointed and the finish as I was hearing rumours it end in a DQ or double-count to set-up a gimmick match at summerslam. I do wonder what they do with owens now as winning back the NxT title and being the main guy there seems a backwards step but losing also seems like how can we take this guy serious after he's losses two title matches in a row.
Bray v Reigns, was good but like Sheamus v Orton, I don't really care about either
IC, well that's a bit of a poison chalice at the moment
Lesnar V Rollins, I saw the rumours about a week ago Undertaker was coming to cost Lesnar but still great to see. The idea I've heard it will be Lesnar v Taker II with Takers career on-the-line at SummerSlam.

Maybe in the face, but the moves he was pulling and the strength he displayed impressed me much more than 'Mania. Maybe it's because he didn't have to go for a whole match but he looked like a million bucks. |

| Yeah he did look better in that regard, I doubt we will but I'd like to see him in tune up matches before he faces Lesnar. |

| So, Hulk Hogan has been totally scrubbed from WWE.COM - all his merch has been pulled from that store and his superstar page no longer exists. WWE didn't even do this to Punk when he bailed on them, which begs the question as to what the fuck did Hogan do to warrant this total blacklisting?

| He's also not on the Hall of Fame page either, some tweets are saying he went on a racist rant and used the N word a few times but wasn't he a big fan of Patrick on Tough Enough. |

| It'll be interesting to see why this has happened - must be huge for WWE to Benoit him out of history. |

| Surely it isn't anything to do with that court case he's involved in, though I don't know a whole lot about that either. |

| Hmm, you'd assume it's not to do with that considering that other wrestlers (Big Show, Punk) have been in legal cases and kept their presence on WWE.COM. |

| WWE is such a weird business, it's very protective and thus tough to speculate on until concrete stuff comes out. Still Hogan was such an integral part of that company, and to wrestling in general, that it has to be something pretty bad. |

| Yeah, there's an interview circulating about Twitter right now from a couple of years back where Hogan refers to Booker T's infamous promo which folks are pointing to as the reason he was sacked but it can't be that - it has to be something way way worse in order to warrant this response. |

| I'very just been out and this even on the national sort of news on BBC Radio 1 and it's reported that he racially abused Brooke's boyfriend or something.
Even so it seems a bit extreme to Benoit him. |

| Perhaps a bit much to totally scrub him from the history books but they were certainly justified in terminating his contract for what he said - the man's meant to be a role model for the WWE and they simply can't associate with that sort of behaviour. |

Yeah to get rid of him etc but to take him out of HOF is a bit much especially seeing they put a known homophobe in the HOF. |
