Miz as well. But everyone overlooks it because of the whole Rock/Cena stuff, which is a shame. I'm far from the biggest Miz fan, but the guy clearly has a love for the business. To main event (and win) a Wrestlemania is 90% of wrestler's dream, and the fact that he did both of those and is almost a footnote is pretty sad.

Yeah, I think Miz is underrated.
He's a very hard working company guy that seemingly does everything he's asked with a smile on his face. He obviously loves to be there, even if he's not in the main event or whatever and I think there's something to admire in that.
Plus, the guy is solid in the ring and overall a very complete sports entertainer. He won't get any 5 star ratings from Dave, but he'll always be able to get people to give a damn when he's in the ring.
So for him to get his spotlight at WM, even if it's somewhat forgotten about (which I agree is a bit unfortunate) was great to see.
He's good enough to go in short bursts that they could put the belt on him again--he just can't have these hijacking run that they've done with him before.
The rumor I heard (before the pandemic) that they wanted a face turn out of him after Mania. But I imagine he's not going to work the Performance Center so every thing is on hold with him.
There's some ready made storylines with him now that he's lost in such bold fashion to a person who wasn't Goldberg. He could have guys coming out of the woodwork thinking his weakened trying to make name himself. He can go on a tear trying to prove he still has it. He can get into a celebrity feud, decide he wants to be in a tag team (maybe take Rey Mysterio's son under his wing or something like that), do something with Sable. Because he's a part timer, one storyline with him can go a long way.
Not a bad scenario! Long as Lesnar sells tickets McMahon will put the belt on him.Originally Posted by titanfan
If you ever attended a WWE house show, PPV or non-TV taping live event take this survey: https://forms.gle/vov5q3465p2GrJq68
I don't know how I feel about WWE Films Mania. The vignette matches were entertaining. Bray is the best promo guy in wrestling .
I am watching FS1 right now, and seeing on the ticker , they have WrestleMania results is just weird. I am all for sports based wrestling. It what I enjoy the most, but I have to admit the cartoony stuff was fun.
Titus O'Neil's expression was perfect after the funhouse match lol. "I don't know what I just saw" lol. I guess the 2 stand out matches were funhouse and graveyard. I think Cena and Bray are better actors than Taker and A.J. Even tho Taker looked better than he has in years.
Brock vs Drew was expected. We know "event" wrestlers like Brock don't go more than 10 minutes. All the matches were pretty decent. Only thing that annoyed me was Charlotte winning again. Damn good match but seriously...I also think the way Becky won was kinda corny. Another happy accident roll-up c'mon.
Though I'm not as big a critic of Brock as a lot of people here (I thought his usage at the Rumble for example was perfect), I think the WWE has pretty much done all they can with him.
At this point the ONLY reason to continue to pay the guy millions is to keep him out of AEW... and that might not be worth it at this point if WWE (like everyone else) is hurting financially due to the present situation. I think WWE might be willing to let Brock go at this point.
But if they don't, then he's always going to have value as a special attraction. He's still the most believable, credible, dominant superstar in WWE modern history at least (and possibly of all time). He's someone that in moderation will always be a draw. Him vs Bobby Lashley or Alastair Black or Keith Lee can headline any PPV in any arena on earth. Even if we KNOW the match itself will probably suck.
