WWE Fastlane 2017 Review | Wrestling With Wregret

[@teccosman]

Ironic that this ppv is called fastlane but killed everyone's momentum

[@DiamondImpact]

teccosman lmao thats great

[@ricemenarq6230]

*It's called "FASTLane" because Coldberg can't wrestle for more than 2 seconds.* *If Kevin Owens had won it would've been FATLane.*

[@edwiniseman4]

Think this was secretly Roadblock...

[@ElBribri]

Brauns streak ends, Charlottes ppv run ends and Owens run as champ (right when he was getting booked properly) ended all of that happend in a single PPV and one of the most mediocre ones that WWE currently have, also the one just before WM so, I didnt like it at all...MY thoughts on this PPV, it had good matches like Braun Roman and Neville Gallagher, but those goddamn resutls were TERRIBLE! (except for Neville's), not to mention the fact that spoilers por several storylines were leaked months ago, and they havent bothered changing anything, everythign ahs happend accotrding to the leaked script....freaking terrible

[@nde8101]

ElBribri I thought rusev vs show was the best match of the night

[@nahhhh720]

Goldberg wrestled for a combined time of around 5 minutes since his return, and he is already champion

[@ArmbarArcade]

108 seconds of singles wrestling. And not one bump.

[@Njbear7453]

Armbar Arcade he'll be taking plenty of suplexes at wrestlemania

[@simbolicdunksman1746]

less than 2 mins morelike

[@IceSick90]

What a "Legend" ....

[@ricemenarq6230]

If you count the time in matches in Goldberg's ENTIRE CAREER it'll probably be less than an hour.

[@andrewmartin4416]

Hey man... I usually don't get like emotional or whatever with strangers on youtube but I feel ashamed that you felt the need to apologize for putting out your mashup. You are an artist man. You have made peoples day sharing your stuff I imagine. I love your channel. You can put out whatever the hell you want as far as I am concerned, and never have to apologize to me for it. Good job and thank you.

[@WrestlingWithWregret]

+Andrew Martin It's all good man! I knew that I was going out on a limb with it and that it arguably wasn't my best work. I was just having some fun, no offense taken with the negative feedback! Thanks for your support though!

[@andrewmartin4416]

LOL I got a little worked up. (pulls shirt collar).

[@ricemenarq6230]

*♥♥♥ That was sooo nice of Kevin Owens to put over a Young and Upcoming Talent like Goldberg!!! ♥♥♥*

[@jesusmosqueda991]

Chest Pec Respect Kevin Owens has to pay his dues

[@ricemenarq6230]

Kevin Owens has been wrestling for 17 years and at one point wasn't able to pay heat for his wife and son during the winter time because he wasn't earning that much when first starting out. WCW took ONE LOOK at Oldberg and thought "This guy is money! Let's push him to the top immediately!" and this was while Goldcunt was ALREADY MAKING A SHIT LOAD OF MONEY from his football career. Oldberg got pushed despite RUINING BRET HART'S CAREER.

[@Rickbane01]

Also a fair effort for Strowman to loose to the ultimate underdog Roman Reigns to get that needed win.

[@ricemenarq6230]

+Rickbane That match could've gone either way. Both men looked strong and this doesn't take away anything from Strowman.

[@starhunter9085]

Chest Pec Respect 😂😂😂

[@heymcfly2756]

Pros: Samoa Joe vs Sami Zayn Cons: Everything after said match except Gallagher vs Neville.

[@dereece115]

HEY MCFLY I found Neville vs Jack good

[@heymcfly2756]

dereece115 Ty. edited my comment. I honestly was trying my best to stay awake during that ppv. Wtf was the point of Big Show coming out to go over Rusev?

[@dereece115]

HEY MCFLY to fill time Btw sasha vs nia ended there was a lot of time and considering the main event would be short every other match would have to last for like 30+ mins

[@meiteiluwang4550]

Joe vs Zayn was boring as shit.

[@CushPesaro]

Roman v Strowman was good as well. The decision to have Roman win clean was stupid but the actual match was good.

[@ArmbarArcade]

Somewhere, CM Punk was laughing at the finish and thinking 'at least I got 25 minutes against Dwayne. Not 21 seconds.'

[@TurtleDustin]

Armbar Arcade True but Rock could still work a match. Bill apparently can't. not that he's any good at wrestling when he was younger

[@saifulaimran8022]

Let's not let this distract you from the fact that VINCE MCMAHON LIKES BIG SWEATY MEN

[@Linval97]

Saiful Aimran me too

[@tdx_1138]

Deep down we all do. You are gonna tell me you don't enjoy Godzilla vs King Kong?

[@kierenbuckley370]

Saiful Aimran apparently he likes AJ who is 5ft 11 which I don't believe for a second

[@braydenfletcher8159]

KIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGAAAHHH

[@braydenfletcher8159]

Evan Batica JBL not touching his willie to muscley women? GRAB TWO OF EACH ANIMAL AND HEAD FOR THE BASTARD BORDER

[@bagelsbeanspodcast4596]

The new universal champion hasn't taken a bump since 2004...

[@ManrajRehal11]

Sam Cooke exactly...the last time he took a bump .. was stone cold stunner 13 years ago 😂😂😂 add 3 spears and 2 jackhammers and he s universal champion plus a clean victory over brock lesnar

[@1whetam1]

You make it sound like goldberg is weak. He destroyed brock lesnar in 1 minute 30 secons

[@nerdingout3560]

thats the problem with your statement. you're acting like goldberg has been full time destroying ppl left and right for the last 15 years. goldbergs current run wouldn't be so terrible if his last run in wwe was booked the same. apart from most of his matches on raw the guy pretty much struggled against rock, jericho, trips, kane and lesnar on ppv. its like wwe completely ignores 2003 goldberg apart from winning the world title

[@dylanbaron__]

He talked about the main event longer than the actual main event.

[@jupiterthekitty]

*The ending to the Bayley/Charlotte match, Braun losing, and Goldberg winning the championship are my only complaints.*

[@anuragsah2004]

well it finally happened the cruiserweights had the best match

[@starhunter9085]

Salzar True but they still didn't do any big flips or high risk spots.

[@RenegadeVile]

A middle-rope Phoenix Splash is pretty risky...

[@bloobloo78]

Starhunter the match ended with a red arrow...

[@starhunter9085]

The miracle And that was all for the high risk department.

[@anuragsah2004]

Starhunter I would say this kind of match suited both these competitors. Neville's heel gimmick makes him not to do the flippy stuff that the crowd wants .So I think it suits him And Gallagher is most the showman brawler type rarely taking high spots .

[@MattBernhagen5]

Seemed like they just ruined the streaks just for the sake of being unpredictable, because they thought unpredictable would = good. And it obviously didn't, cuz this ppv was trash.

[@Exlanadre]

Matthew Bernhagen Stephanie will probably com out tonight and reverse the decision. And the whole "ppv streak" thing is disingenuous because she has defended at every one and lost a battlegrounds

[@Matrix_CAW]

I honestly predicted the three streaks ending. Fastlane was extremely predictable

[@fuscinula]

Russo logic, anyone?

[@nightogre]

The whole PPV was an elaborate ploy to have a cruiserweight match be the highlight of the whole thing...

[@josterio2.071]

Hey Brian, Josterio here. First off, Thank you and Steve and Larson for great interviews back at No Mercy, alot of my friends got jealous that I got to meet their favorite youtubers (including myself). Anyway. I like how all these things got blown off on Fastlane (I thought Fastlane was okay) Roman beating Braun, Charlotte losing her PPV streak (It was too predictable if it stayed alive to Wrestlemania) and Kevin Owens losing the title. I find it better then seeing them fight at Wrestlemania. If Roman is facing Taker, then him beating Braun is a start. But I do have two questions Brian, Why is it that Part timers don't get heat for getting championships when it should go to young guys who put in the effort and worked their asses off, but only to get shelved for later? Believe me, I actually am glad Goldberg won, but if Brock wins, like he did back before Wrestlemania, he barely should up to any Raws, and didn't even defend his title at the Pay-Per-Views leading up to Mania 31, what are the odds of that happening at leading up to this year SummerSlam?

[@lukas187x]

I will give the same grade as well. The Cruiserweight match really blew me away, and that will be a big up in my books. Sami Zayn vs Samoa Joe can always be counted on to be good, and as much as I wanted to see Zayn win, I accept that Joe needed the win more. And despite the negative reception of Reigns, the hard fought win against Strowman is actually step in the right direction. I have nothing against Reigns winning, but I stressed that it has to be a hard fought win, which it is. The rest of the show seems to highlight quite a few flaws within the WWE product that a lot of critics have pointed out (inconsistent booking decisions, heavy reliance on part timers, backstage politics, etc). Personally, I think this is becoming a serious issue that the WWE must address, and soon. The talents of the cruiserweights are wasted on the pre-show, Rusev takes another step into "chump" territory, messy booking for the women's division, and putting the belt on a part-timer who has not wrestled over 5 minutes in the ring. Not exactly the kind of product you want fans to invest in, if you ask me. Overall, I give it a C-, but only cause of the three highlights I mentioned prevented the rest of the show from being a stinker.

[@metalhead52748]

I don't mind some predictability if it makes sense. If they saved bayley beating charlotte at mania for the title for the first title (instead of on raw) and breaking her streak there, yes it would have been predictable but it would have been a great moment.

[@metalhead52748]

agreed. sometimes it's just better to be patient and let things played out. and I think i enjoyed elimination chamber more too. fastlane was kind of a let down but neville vs gallagher was awesome

[@Qwarktastic]

Jinder Mahal vs Cesaro. What is this sunday night Raw episode?

[@requiemlestatDrunkVR]

Ari Perätalo Sunday night episode of Superstars, you mean?

[@edwiniseman4]

Sunday Night Heat

[@teddypritchett651]

Great episode. I went back & watched a lot of the old episodes great stuff.

[@ChibiChihiro]

The main reason why i dont even watch WWE anymore and just listen to These reviews is because part timers make full timers look weak and its a absolute joke just for some nostalgia.

[@kierenbuckley370]

dale515100 I agree and we get called smarks for thinking this

[@ChrisPayneHBTW]

Agreed, People with no counter argument throw the word Smark around without even knowing what it means lol

[@kierenbuckley370]

Chris Payne HBTW thank you, I get called a smark just because i watch New Japan, so I'm not allowed to watch anything other than wwe so i don't get classed as a smark, its ridiculous

[@IrisIrisIris29]

Even though he eventually jobbed out to Big Show, Ruru loudly exclaiming his disbelief in his "3 matchka kicks" not putting Show away was one of the highlights of the show for me XD

[@bigbrotherlop87]

I disagree with the Jericho point. Sure, we from the outside thinking about it know that Jericho vs Owens will be a Wrestlemania match but let's go inside for a second. In the TV world of the WWE, can Jericho just decide that he will face the champion at Wrestlemania? No. It would be either someone with a rematch clause or whoever the number one contender is or the GM would make a tournament or appoint someone. In the logic of the show, the way for Jericho to make sure he can face Owens is to make him lose the belt.

[@johnnapier8830]

Jean-Francois Charbonneau Finally, someone said something that makes sense.

[@wisewolftony]

You know what's not gonna make any sense is that Owens probably won't even get a rematch witch won't be anything new because the last title he dropped the IC belt he never got a rematch after losing that title either. Can't count extreme rules when he was in a fatal 4 way for the IC title that was like 60 days after he dropped it witch trumps the whole within 30 days one on one rematch clause.

[@lacho96]

Goldberg didn't earn his title shot, but he is the champion

[@Iron_Mikaveli]

TruxicanWrestler The Rock did that too. Thats why i stopped liking when he returns

[@ty_-je8wf]

Jean-Francois Charbonneau or maybe Jericho was acting on pure emotion and wasn't thinking completely straight. He just wanted to cause Owens pain now, not later.

[@SilverDynamiteVentus]

Brian Zane: "Okay my idea didn't go over well, I apologize for that." WWE Creative: "Okay our idea didn't go over well, BUT WE'LL KEEP TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK UNTIL IT DOES, DAMN IT!!"

[@Linval97]

people complained about reigns and the us title but look at what jericho is doing to it

[@MC-mf7zj]

your fave could never x he was injured

[@thefakedeal]

I don't think wwe creative know that there is a US title.

[@wisewolftony]

What are they supposed to do have him completely no sell a apron powerbomb and being thrown into a glass plate and come back the next weak valiantly defending the US title.

[@Linval97]

tony quad it's not like he was doing anything with it before that... what's the excuse for that?

[@Linval97]

Michael Carrick 16 it's a work injury though. & he wasn't defending the title before the 'injury' so...

[@busterp6134]

Love your quick costume changes for the cruiser weight segments.

[@SolaticSyot]

Are we just gonna ignore how bad this makes the entire roster look when one of the best guys, who's been protected pretty well, gets squashed by a 50 year old that can't wrestle? I mean seriously, this hurts Owens so badly, that reign wasn't great and this ending makes him look so bad. I might be a huge fan of his, but he's unbelievable as anything more than mid card at best now.

[@wisewolftony]

If your a fan of Owens then you know that he can bounce back from anything. I mean to begin with Lesnar lost to Goldberg pretty much just as fast and that was with no Jericho distraction. Not saying the lose doesn't hurt him but very few people will even be talking about it once his feud with Jericho starts. Plus the next time they want to push him into the main event scene they could easily just turn him face with the fans fully behind him.

[@mavdj]

To me its noncanon so it never happened. Kinda like goofy shit at house shows ;) It was just a pointless cash grab for the dumb nostalgic marks. Its fucking hilarious because its the same marks that buu Roman yet they cheer for the original Roman Reigns, Goldberg haha! This "comeback" and transitional title win are meaningless, pointless, and to me they never happened. At least we know we are getting a good match out of this at Wrestlemania with KO vs Y2J.

[@pinealdreams1064]

Does that mean Lesnar's also a mid card guy now? Don't be an idiot, dude.

[@wisewolftony]

mavdj My problems with it really have nothing to do with the match or who won although off course the last thing I wanted to see was Owens just eat two moves and lose the match regardless of the fact that they tried to protect him somewhat by having Jericho come out. My problems are gonna be with everything that happens after this. Like for example how are they gonna work around Owens probably never getting a rematch and even if he did who wants to see him get squashed again and look even weaker in the process. Then the next thing is shouldn't Owens be fucking livid with HHH. As he was the one that we all figure told Owens to turn on Jericho witch resulted in Jericho being the one to cost Owens the title. Like why would Owens believe in a single word HHH says after that and possible work alongside him. Like if they were smart he would have turned on Jericho either after he helped him retain yet again or after he dropped the belt. Then why wouldn't also Owens question HHH as to why they didn't make sure Jericho couldn't get involved or why did they have to make Foley tell Samoa Joe not to get involved in the match when they have shown no signs of those two working together beside Joe helping HHH with Rollins. Really those things are all gonna be hard for me to look past unless they somehow come up with some good explanation but seeing how Raw creative save for the Festival of Friendship have been pretty terrible so I have no faith in them to even bring up any of these things that should be addressed.

[@Ulikecookies]

Pineal Dreams seriously. I can't believe some of these people. While yes it SUCKED to see Kevin lose, it goes like this. Kevin had the perfect plan, then called for the bell to ring, he is DISTRACTED by Chris Jericho whom we haven't seen since the festival of friendship. Turns around and hit with two of the most powerful kayfabe moves in Wwe/wcw history Goldbergs spear and the jackhammer. I mean Jesus at least he didn't just spear and win. No. KEVIN WAS DISTRACTED!

[@rf_switch]

You nailed it, in particular, with the women's match. I don't have a lot of other thoughts, but damn, you completely nailed that women's title match. From the DQ, to the flow, and the way they looked like heels.

[@captain-obvious-speaks]

Let's not let this distract you from the fact that Brian Zane kept changing his jerkins

[@PYKTube]

There is no need for an apology.... 1 video doesn't change anything.... we all are still with you.. :)

[@hsbfnfndnd3694]

At this point I'm starting to think Wrestlemania should be a smackdown exclusive PPV

[@ghostvalley6786]

Vince McMahon yeah get it Vince

[@aarenfrankum8112]

don't apologise for shit you enjoy making my dude. If y'all had fun making it, that's all that matters. For what it's worth, i enjoyed it.

[@ShadowMaZta]

10 Things KZbin Wants you to forget about Brian Zane: #1 The KO/Limp Bizkit mashup

[@QuJee]

The added in screenshots depicting the stuff you talk about are a nice touch E: I did like the Roman/Strowman match, dont mind the finish since Strowman came across as a behemoth and I certainly like the shock elements that noone could predict (Charlottes streak being broken) wish the execusion would have been better tho, since a bad execusion to a shocking ending just leaves you baffled. As for the part timers: I dont mind them. As long as they stay away from any of the titles. Part timers should never wear gold.

[@Jimboola]

In answer to your question Brian. No I don't want complete predictability but there has to be a balance & for me this PPV, which is just Fastlane - a NOTHING PPV - we lost many of the stories going into Wrestlemania...for no good reason that I can see. Fastlane was a storykiller!

[@Jimboola]

...and it sucked!

[@Jimboola]

I think you are right.

[@mgunter]

I know I'm not watching Raw for the next two months, which means I'll forget to watch Smackdown as well. Good Job WWE, you know how to make people turn the channel.

[@princessdawn982]

wait. Enzo...good at talking? Have you lost your damn mind?! Enzo is so over-rated it's not even funny.

[@requiemlestatDrunkVR]

Dawn Slater The Smack-talker Skywalker spouts nonsense, rhymes anything his brain can think of, because fuck logic, and the rest is filled with references to wherever they happen to be for a cheap pop. Enzo and Cass are both going stale staying with each other. Not mentioning the cringe-fest of that chicken advert...

[@sethbudrik8906]

Dawn Slater He's a little overated, but MOST people find him entertaining as fuck on the mic.

[@MCB741]

Dawn Slater ikr him and cass are shit

[@rabidmonkeys1988]

Fastlane just felt like watching raw without commercials

[@rabidmonkeys1988]

sorry less commercials

[@supermario2100]

Raw is no longer the "A" show. The creative team needs help. The HHH-Owens-Joe story is going nowhere, the Bayley vs. Charlotte for the title story has been meh, and Roman, as always, is booked in a way that will never get him over. So many missed opportunities up and down the card. Maybe next "season" will be better, what with the returns rumored for Raw after Mania, and the women's tournament maybe happening this summer.

[@supermario2100]

Raw got the great wrestlers during the draft, but I guess Smackdown drafted all the good writers lol.

[@sonicplys64]

supermario2100 AJ Styles > the entire RAW roster.

[@SavagePatch115]

Sonicplys 64 Thanks for the laugh

[@DutchAngel15]

Tbh, that's not hard, seeing as AJ is the best in the world imo ;p

[@CrimTaker]

Lance Clearman Well probably because the whole point of the draft was to make SD have more viewership and ratings. But what baffles me is that the people that hate Raw still watch if you want change, then you guys need to boycott Raw and watch SD only. If SD beats Raw in viewership and ratings for months(which will be difficult) then they will change.

[@MrAlexGhoul]

Damn, you weren't in my subscription feed, despite the fact I watch pretty much every video of yours.

[@JosephRodriguez1991]

I didn't watch #WWEFastlame, but I did read watch clips of it. I'm not a Kevin Owens Fan, but I'm disappointed that Kevin lost The WWE Universal Championship, against a part timer like Goldberg. #WWEFastlame is just like Super Bowl 51, they both had bad, and shitty endings.

[@chriswerthner4024]

Joseph Rodriguez Patriots are the goddamn best

[@nielsengrau1587]

Joseph Rodriguez are you an alanta falcons fan?

[@JosephRodriguez1991]

They cheated to win, you fucktard.

[@JosephRodriguez1991]

Yes but I'm a big fan of my hometown team, The Tennessee Titans.

[@JosephRodriguez1991]

I read that the game, was rigged.

[@madrabiddog]

Bayley winning the women's title and giving Charolette her first PPV loss at Mania would have been a great story and WM moment.

[@MaxxdOut313]

Reigns won because, "Vince McMahon likes big sweaty (Samoan) men".

[@AbandonedIsleofWight]

Loving the wardrobe change for the cruiserweights! 😆

[@alexalexander5452]

I'm sorry Smackdown killed it with Elimination Chamber even if it was repetitive, it added to the story lines.

[@frididjurhuus]

That dropkick to Enzo was one of the night's best moments.

[@dwaynefrierson991]

Elimination Chamber>Fastlane

[@BlackHoleEye]

I'd say this means Jericho doesn't care about the Uni Title anymore. He just wants revenge on the man who betrayed the one thing he valued higher than the title; his friendship.

[@taylorwinslette8252]

Well for better or worse looks like Lesnar is gonna be Universal Champ after Mania... Sigh

[@barrymchugh667]

Taylor Winslette I might wrong but I think Brooke's drug ban from the Ufc would still be in effect when he wins at Maina?( I know he had to retire because of it). To me for a WWE champion to be band from a different sport is a bad look. I hope that goldberg wins mainly because it seems like a waste to build such a beast in goldberg for it to put lesner back to where he was before survivor series.

[@zelth16]

Barry Mc Hugh Since he retired he is no longer banned because he is no longer under those rules from what i have heard.

[@barrymchugh667]

Randy Jr really? Dam. The whole thing doesn't sit well with me 😕 but in the end he is a massive draw and will make the title important.

[@buck342443]

Yep, and all the Paul Heyman promos afterwards are going to be insufferable.

[@EDifyer881]

oh joy l😩l

[@GreigaBeast]

I like how Brian is consistent with the wardrobe , especially the cruiserweight review.

[@sonicheroxd5767]

They gave Strowman SO MUCH momentum...They built him up so much...just to lose to Roman Reigns...FAIL!!!

[@voltzextreme]

Its crazy cuz before that, Sami Zane and Brawn was having a good match that could have kept building til now. Sami lost against Brawn numerous times and have not one once. They ended it the storyline so RR gets the same chance. Going against RR on a PPV match the same way and Brawn lose? Not even by at least two SPEARS???

[@icantnotthink3282]

At Fast Lane, too

[@Kaokan26]

Love the sweatsuit change for the cruiser weights.

[@sirjorge8564]

Hey Mr. Zane, the cruiserweight tag match wasn't just thrown together. Meaning Swann and Dar. You said they didn't have any feud or anything, but that seems to expose that you do not watch 205 live. Swann and Dar have been back and forth on 205 with Swann making passes at Alicia Fox and saying she couldn't handle it, upsetting Dar. So there's a little history. Next time, either watch 205 live or do some research. No offense, but that wasn't a throw away match. They deserve a little more.

[@WrestlingWithWregret]

You're right, I don't watch 205 Live, but I was looking back at past results for research here and I didn't see them interact within the last couple of weeks. Still, I'll chalk this up as my bad.

[@sirjorge8564]

I forgot to mention, you're the man! Sorry if my comment came across negatively. Perhaps I could've worded it better. I should leave my mom's basement sometime. ;)

[@WrestlingWithWregret]

Sir Jorge No worries!

[@DarkLordDiablos]

We want the part-timers because they are from a time when Wrestling was good, unlike now.

[@kitty_goes_quack]

wouldn't it have been better to just have KO win, retain the belt, looks badass. then lesnar beats Goldberg and KO starts running his mouth about how lesnar could only win after KO injured him starting a KO lesnar feud. apperently that makes no sense but whatever.

[@Jettblackmatt]

Nice touch with the purple jacket when talking about the cruiserweights.

[@taylorwinslette8252]

I'm gonna be completely honest, I didn't watch any of the matches on the card uninterrupted except for the Cruiserweight title match. Such a boring show much like everything involving RAW

[@mohdwazeeque2893]

I see a Brian Zane video I like it, always a good job man you got a subscriber here

[@alexanderbob22]

Shouldn't say sorry for trying something new.

[@starhunter9085]

[@Closurenomore]

The Dishonorable Hugh Mungus DCLXVI Sonic 2006> Fastlane 2017

[@txcforever]

I watched the PPV on Monday (as a European working on Mondays its near impossible to watch any WWE events live) and when it reached the Owens - Goldberg match I moved the cursor at the bar to see how long it had before it ended. Seeing KO entering the arena 9-10 minutes before the end really spoilled it for me since I knew something will happen making Goldberg finish the match in a couple of minutes. Even if he is 50 years old, even if he haven't actually wrestle for almost 15 years, I can't believe that Goldberg can't compete in a match longer than a few seconds. Just have them exchange a few blows for a few minutes, have them interact a bit.

[@escostep]

Fastlane sucked. Save yourself 20 minutes!

[@ManrajRehal11]

HNRY NIN9 i feel pity on guys who watched it live😂😂😂

[@voltzextreme]

Sasha Banks pins Nia Jax with a rollup. that is so stupid and very unbelievable. smh

[@SavagePatch115]

Manu Rehal I watched it live on watchwrestling.in I cancelled my subscription after EC due to some 'economic' problems. Glad I didn't keep it going. Save it for WM

[@NPOCrushader]

Just figured I would not watch the show, just read/watch the reviews. Well saved three hours of my life it looks like!!

[@DreamFallen500]

what a shitty ppv only Charlotte vs Bayley and Neville vs Gallagher worth watching

[@ricemenarq6230]

*Strowman Reigns was ok.* *Charlotte Bayley was a very good match but doesn't make any sense storywise. Bayley's character is now ruined forever.*

[@DreamFallen500]

Chest Pec Respect as for me her character doesn't click as in nxt ( Becky and smackdown women division is way better)

[@Puvwilmo00]

This entire show just felt like another episode of Raw

[@yoni8714]

Fastland was the worst show in years..

[@bullo247]

Loving the change of jacket for the Cruiserweight match.

[@somemorebeer]

Well what I like is that two of the biggest pops of 2017 happened in the span of 30 seconds.

[@joedrizzle3959]

It would have been awesome to see strowman get the pinfall after hitting that huge splash!

[@TrentonBlessWrestlemania489]

I didn't have a huge problem with this show. It was a bit odd with the booking choices, especially the ending to the Women's Title match, but the saving graces of this show were as you said the Cruiserweight Championship match and Roman v. Strowman. Sami Zayn v. Samoa Joe was pretty good as well. As for Goldberg walking away with the title... well, I'm interested to see what they do with it going into WrestleMania.

[@siegmund87]

Something people neglect mentioning when talking about Reigns winning is that after Braun kicks out after the first spear, Reigns gave an amazing shocked look. It looked like Reigns really didn't know how to defeat Strowman. That's really good story telling and makes me think Strowman will still be dominant going forward. And everybody needs to remember this when Kurt Angle comes back. If he beats a young star, then fans have to remember they asked Kurt Angle to come back, and WWE simply gave them what they wanted. Same idea with the Hardys if they come back, and maybe CM Punk if he ever comes back, which he probably won't.

[@mikeclark3223]

Soooooo... were they planning to have like an actual match between KO and Goldberg and then they threw it out at the last minute for the squash and that's why they suddenly had half an hour to fill? Is that why the "bonus matches" and the New Day promo?

[@MIKELIN8]

Enzo has no offense. That's the joke. Big Cass always takes the pin. That's the bigger joke. Sasha is half Nia's size but rolls her up. That's the biggest joke. BTW, I like the red and purple color changes, Brian.

[@michaelreborn9656]

BZ, just wanted to say that I thought the mashup was good for a first try :) I think it was fitting for KO for what it is worth. I felt like if he came out to a more polished version of that mashup, it would do him justice and make him a more fearsome wrestler.

[@TurtleDustin]

I'm happy that you pointed out how illogical Jericho was. Everyone seems to forget that. Also, Folley telling Joe not to get involved in the main event when they've made no reference to them being teammates? I'm looking ahead thinking Raw will have no world champion for 4 months while Owens & Bálor are waiting for their rematches....

[@KnockoutVirus]

The Cruiserweight Championship match was the best match of the night imo. Also...sweater change

[@Wavester64]

The King on "Raw Talk" kinda planted the seeds to a Sasha heel turn.

[@LINKMASTERX]

its fucking hysterical how different raw and SD have become.

[@alanze18]

That Old Man GoldBerg Killed Owen's chance to main event Mania

[@markuscirillo730]

I actually liked the white accents on Roman's attire... made him stand out! Hahaha

[@chrisbreezy3048]

Like you and many others, Brian, I thought for sure that the Women's Title match would end in DQ once Sasha & Charlotte got into their mini-brawl on the outside, but karma ending aside, the fact that the PPV streak wasn't kept intact was surprising to me since Mania is only four weeks away. As for Goldberg/Owens, I think we all saw the writing on the wall with the title change and Jericho's interference, but only 22 seconds?! C'mon man!

[@roystaropoli7008]

anyone else notice his jacket changes to purple when he talks about the cruiserweights? well played..

[@jgfear]

your review is on point.

[@theblucarpenter1753]

The production team actually messed up and showed Jericho's tron on stage during the Owens v. Goldberg promo, so the whole crowd knew he was coming out.

[@Smeeeeeghead]

Don't apologize for the mashup, for trying something new, just because it wasn't perceived as good as other mashup youtubers who are professionals doesn't mean you can't try something you have interest in. My thoughts: Zayn vs Joe: good, clean fun, Joe got over and is making ways to establishing himself as a real force, Zayn got over by being Zayn, an underdog. Nothing too special, but still quite fun. Club vs Enzo/Cass: good stuff but I have seen it so many times, its hard to care. Finish was cool but happened too quickly so no one seemed to see it. Shame Enzo just gets all the heat and then gives it to Cass, priming Cass to be rammed down our throats. Nia vs Sasha: again, who cares? Seen it before, shame Nia lost though, makes the build for her to seem rather pointless. Cesaro vs Jinder/Rusev vs Big show: I don't care, no one else cares. Which is a shame, everyone here is very talented, even Jinder, they all deserve better. Neville vs Gallaher: fucking great, match of the night, playing to their strengths, actually had a story, instead of movesvmovesmovesmoves no sell movesmovesmoves. Best cruisermatch yet, by far. Roman vs Braun: great match, for me personally at least. The end pissed me off though, Roman no sold, again. And why build this guy up just to have him job to Reigns? Bayley vs Charlotte: Meh, nothing much here re- wait wtf they broke the streak at this nothing B- level PPV?!?!? What a fucking waste! KO vs Goldberg: sigh... Usual Raw PPV, good wrestling ruined by an awful creative team.

[@BrandFlakes56]

What bothers me is that the ref rang the bell after Jericho's music hit and KO wasn't paying attention but wouldn't ring it when he was

[@XSakeX1]

TheBwt56 i said something like that to my friend because that was very ingnorant like why ring the bell only when jericho comes out not when ko said too or when he jumped in the ring

[@XSakeX1]

***** stop he called for the bell when jericho entered

[@superslacker87]

I'm just happy that WWE decided to do the right thing and bring it their champions last every single time. That's the way that it should be.

[@Ryusuta]

Proof that no one will EVER be satisfied in the IWC. Goldberg's first WWE run: "Eeehhhh they don't know how to book Goldberg! He needs to be in decisive squash matches because that's how you give him value! These matches take too long and he lost one of them eeeehhhh!" Goldberg's second run: "Eeeeehhh Goldberg is making other wrestlers look bad and he's past an arbitrary age I've decided is too old for the wrestlers I hate eeeeeeehhh." Christ. Just... Christ. I'm no huge WWE fan, but it really seems like some people won't accept anything they do.

[@MCB741]

Ryusuta hush child

[@CobaltTheCrusader]

I thought it was appropriate that Jericho interrupted the way he did. KO's entire Universal Title Run, even beginning with how he got the belt, was through outside interference and interruptions. Triple H interrupted to give KO The win, Jericho interfered numerous times to KO's advantage, and his last title defense against Reigns ended with Strowman interfering which lead to KO retaining yet again. So KO casting Jericho aside like "I don't need you anymore" repeatedly stroking his own ego for weeks on end, talking up how much of a badass he is and underestimating Goldberg a guy who can destroy people in two moves, only to be interrupted by the guy he casted aside and helped him defend the title several times before AND christened KO's run as a dual run(ya know We are the Universal Champion stuff that Jericho was doing for a time). Maybe it's just me but this seems like the most appropriate thing in the world for Jericho to do.

[@tommycravens4249]

I like to be surprised when it makes sense for the storylines

[@soulknife20]

What happened to your audio? The video started over visually halfway through, but the audio continued.

[@nickfolesfanclub]

Roman winning against Braun gives him great momentum ahead of a match against Undertaker because he would look stupid coming into it off a loss, however if he faces ANYONE bar Undertaker then it's a terrible decision.

[@lowercaserho]

On predictability vs surprise: I think that if a story has reached a point when something seems like a foregone conclusion, then they've already messed up and it doesn't matter how they end it. If I feel that I already know the result -- and I mean know, not just "I'm pretty sure" -- then I stop caring about the match. I remember back when Lesnar broke the Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania, I was thinking to myself, "yes, yes, F5, then Taker kicks out just before 3, seen this before". Then when he didn't kick out, I wasn't shocked or amazed or anything else. I just thought "Oh. That happened." because I was already preconditioned to not actually care about the match because the result seemed so inevitable. Just give me a build which pushes both wrestlers so that I actually feel like both of them have a shot at winning. Maybe it can be a long shot for one of them, but it has to feel like a shot. If there isn't a shot, if there doesn't feel like there's uncertainty, then I've no reason to care. And if I don't care going into the match, then all the swerves and shock endings in the world aren't going to make me care.

[@Yautah]

Don't apologize, it was fun. Also, it's healthy to try new stuff, everything might not work, and it's ok.

[@ThePunk01]

In storyline, why would the ref ring the bell when Jerichos music is playing? that's what bugged me most about the "match"

[@Slashercon]

THANK YOU. I wasn't the only one who noticed this. If the bell were rung before y2j's music hit, I wouldn't have been AS pissed (still l would be pissed of course.)

[@cristianguzman1353]

as soon I saw there were only like 5 mins left before the main event started I knew what was coming

[@ryanager8029]

Question: Has the Universal Championship match had a match without outside interference since Summerslam?

[@VinceOMGZ]

On the subject of predictability: Nothing that happened was especially unpredictable, and to that extent, predictability isn't the problem. Rolling out the expected finish a month before everyone else expects it to happen isn't the same as being unpredictable. They're blowing their big moments too soon and gaining very little for it.

[@Gary-tz5qm]

I don't think that it matches Jericho's character because of how always smart his character has been in the past

[@RAYSRULZ27]

Chris Jericho doesn't care about a title. He was betrayed by his best friend in the whole wide world.

[@Linval97]

Nia needed another win over sasha on a main card. Braun needed a victory over Roman on PPV. Charlotte's streak shoulda been ended at mania. Rusev shoulda submitted Big Show. KO shoulda found a way to defeat Goldberg to cement the return of his super heel character. FASTLANE was tragic.
