The 2017 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony was pretty awesome, some great speeches. Angle looked like he was having a lot of fun, good to see him back. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he ends up wrestling at Summerslam.

I love the speeches this year. DDP's was emotional. And it's nice to see Angle back, he definitely had fun during his speech.

Watching Takeover now, the new NXT Tag Team Championships look nice!

The new NXT Championship. The Women's title looks like this but smaller, and with an arch below the WWE logo that says "Women's."

EDIT: The new belts with a clearer render:

NXT Championship
Image

NXT Women's Championship

NXT Tag Team Championship

The new belts look better than the previous ones, I like the Tag Team belts the best.

Meanwhile, Nigel McGuiness mistakenly said "...here on Ring of Honor" during the Almas-Black match.

Loved the matches from Eric Young's stable & Bobby Roode, and seeing Drew Galloway appearing was neat. Desmond Wolfe definitely flubbed that line but overall that was an awesome TNA PPV.

But seriously, fantastic matches all around. Amazing wrestling night that told great stories in the ring (seriously, the DIY/Revival teamup was goose-bump level stuff for me).

Hoping for a little bit more of a rebrand along with the belts to make the weekly stuff more watchable for me.

I love the part where they hesitated to team up and do DIY's finisher, then their other halves performing Shatter Machine. And the superplex to the outside!

Galloway will be on NXT. Shinsuke got an ovation after the show (they've posted it on YouTube), I really hope he goes to Smackdown instead because Raw has all of the former NXT Champions and look at what happened to some of them.

The IC title match switched places with the Smackdown Women's title match on the pre-show.

If you can't be last, be first. Holy fuck that match had no right to be as fun as it ended up being. That was awesome

Agreed. Shane is still a surprisingly excellent worker for a part-timer who was never a full-time wrestler in the first place. It certainly helps that he's in there with AJ Styles, but he held his own. And of course, the right person went over.

AJ-Shane was unexpectedly nice.

I still cringe whenever the champion goes out first.

If Sasha doesn't turn, I'll be disappointed.

I'm glad Charlotte didn't go over as that was getting old, but the match definitely lost momentum once Sasha was eliminated.

Definitely a mark out moment there. I know some people will be upset that Enzo and Cass didn't get the belts, but with a surprise Hardyz return, anything other than them winning the titles would've been a let down.

Has Bray ever won at Wrestlemania? Is this a reverse-Undertaker streak? Randy didn't need the win!

It's a payoff of the last half year of planning for his character. I'd rather him win and keep that rep for being methodical.


Brock/Goldbery was exactly what I wanted it to be. That was great

Orton winning makes sense from a narrative standpoint, his deception paying dividends. Unfortunately it doesn't do anything for Wyatt, though at least they did something original with the creepy imagery.

Lesnar/Goldberg was probably their best match so far, though the bar is pretty low on that one. It was pretty good for what it was, but RAW's big belt is still on a part-timer. The whole point of the brand split was to give a deeper roster more TV time, big matches, and title opportunities. That goes out the window if Lesnar reigns for a long time, and barely defends it. From one booking mess to another, there.

INO, the main issue last time Lesnar was part-time and champion was they kept everything on-hold between defenses. Hopefully this time they keep everyone involved in good storylines between defenses....non-title storylines, I think, have been better on both brands since the split.

I see your point with Orton, but it just made Wyatt look less credible during bigger moments.

Part of me wished that Undertaker brought along his chopper for his entrance. AND DAMN IT'S GOOD TO HEAR JR AGAIN AT WRESTLEMANIA.

That was fucking amazing. Best WrestleMania ever. 7 hours plus of entertainment throughout. Great matches, great moments. I have no issues with any of the booking or really any of it.

Can't wait for tomorrow night.
