Anyone else think maybe we get Paige and AJ vs. the Bellas at WrestleMania? Or a Triple Threat/Fatal Four Way?

Thoughts on last night's show... That was one of the worst live crowds I've ever seen in the last 10 years. them. ing trashbags. How are you gonna pay a LOT of money to watch a PPV and sit on your ing ass. DO SOMETHING. Be hacky...chant CM Punk for all I care. What a bunch of lazy crapbags. Dolph Ziggler, Ryback & Erick Rowan v. Big Show, Kane & Seth Rollins: Match was meh. Ziggler gets pinned of course, so Orton can come back because HE'S the real star here and Ziggler is crap. Despite more fan support than almost anyone on the roster. Can't wait for Orton to go over Seth at 'Mania too Stardust v. Goldust: Total rushed match. B?ut the before promo was good. I don't really wanna see Goldust done, dude still has it, and they've done nothing with him since the 90's. It's a shame. I kinda hope this wasn't their "best showing" because that rematch at Mania seems less likely now. What a crapbag finish and kinda boring, dragging match. Aftermath of Cody yelling at Dusty and beating up Goldust was better than the match. Remember when everyone was so excited about brother v brother and how amazing it was gonna be? Yah. The Usos v. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro: Cesaro is the best. Seriously. With how over the Real Americans were they never got the tag titles...Cesaro & Kidd have been a team for like 2 months, BAM. Love it. Wish Cesaro had gotten the finish though. People seem to forget, KIDD is the veteran here. Cesaro should be the one shining in this team. Either way, these guys being successful makes me happy. The Confrontation: HHH v. Sting So yeah, this happened. I kinda like the backstory behind the match. And I give it to both guys who are veterans of this business knowing how to build a ing match. At this point it might be the only thing I actually look forward to at 'Mania this year. Bad News Barrett v. Dean Ambrose: This had to have been a troll. There is no way that anyone with an ounce of respect could come up with a finish like that. THE WORST. Ambrose continues to look like a COMPLETE ASSBAG in EVERY big match. "But we're building new stars! See! Roman Reigns!" this. A nothing match with a crap finish seems to be theme of Fastlane. Should change the name of it next year... Bray Troll: It was cool, and I guess it confirms we are getting that match although for what reason I don't even know. Oh that's right, because they have NOTHING for Bray since the Wyatt split. So because he's creepy...might as well let him wrestle the now-defeated Undertaker at Wrestlemania....RATINGS! Rusev v. John Cena: Rusev sucks. However this was BY FAR his best match since joining the company. Bravo Cena. A perfect way to book it top to bottom. A cheap finish keeps heat on Rusev, keeps Cena's mantra of "never give up"...because lets face it...if Cena actually gave up there, you can't print t-shirts with "Never Give UP! (Except that one time to Rusev)" on the back. John's obviously going to slay the monster at 'Mania to set up DAT DERE US TITLE RUN....full circle people. full circle. Roman Reigns v. Daniel Bryan: ReignswinsLoL. That PPV was a bag of crap. No surprise Bryan pulled a decent match out of the next big thing. Doesn't make him ready for the WWE title because he's had 2 good singles matches against 2 of the top 3 wrestlers in the company (Bryan & Rollins)

I'm guessing we'll add Orton/Rollins Cena/Rusev Ambrose/Barrett Goldust/Stardust Paige/Nikki Tag Team Turmoil and basically have the WM card. Which I don't think is too damn bad, at all. At this point those do seem the logical matches, but it seems pretty dull to have 3 or 4 rematches from last night. Hopefully they spice it up a bit: make Barrett/Ambrose a cage match so there's a definitive winner and no way for Barrett to **** out again. Perhaps have Dusty the ref in the Rhodes brothers match too. Oh yeah, I wasn't saying just repeat Fastlane. I'm all for cage matches/extreme rules, etc being incorporated to make it all awesome. Given Goldust's history, an extreme rules match would be kind of rad for those two.

6 man tag match was meh Goldust vs. Stardust was one of the worst matches I've ever seen Tag title match was fantastic and I'm so glad Kidd/Cersaro have the belts HHH/Sting confrontation was good Divas title match was good and Paige almost popped out so it gets 4 stars IC title match was trash Bray Wyatt's promo was great US title match was good and Cena lost so it gets 5 stars Main event was ok but had odd booking with Bryan dominating almost the entire match and Reigns almost "getting lucky" and squeaking out the win
Crowd sucked. PPV gets a Bret Hart 4/10 rating from me.

I think we're overlooking the worst part of this show and it's that Kane pinned Dolph Ziggler on pay-per-view in 2015.

At least we got a good promo from Ambrose in the fallout. I'm all for Ambrose acting like he's the champion heading into Wrestlemania, but man, that match was just...no. It was a good show for free TV, but as a Pay Per View it was pretty terrible. Outside of the last three segments/matches (Rusev/Cena, Bryan/Reigns, HHH/Sting) this was an undercard that we've seen on Raw nearly a dozen times. There's just not much positive I can say about the show. Rusev continues to prove why he's ing awesome. Cena continues to prove he can deliver on big stages. Reigns looked great, Bryan looked great, finish sucked but it is what it is. Cody Rhodes is still vastly underrated, but "Psychotic Family Man" Cody Rhodes could be fun. Charles Manson should be his inspiration. Overall, the show only gets a 5/10 for me. The last three segments completely saving it from being a total dud.

pretty good for a transitional PPV, but nothing really shocking or spectacular. Could have been a lot better but could have been a crapload worse....

About to watch the main event now. The crowd was absolutely abysmal. Who the hell decided bringing a PPV to Memphis would be a good idea?
EDIT: Credit where it's due, I thought Bryan and Reigns had a fantastic match. Ultimately, I think the decision to go Reigns/Lesnar is one of the worst in recent memory, but that aside, Reigns had his first really great match last night. Hopefully there's more to come, because he's about to be fed to the sharks.

My thoughts about the PPV Bad:Stardust vs Goldust(Match was not good with a botched finish, I understand the storytelling was important but I didn't think it was well done); Bad News Barrett vs Dean Ambrose(Bland match with another terrible finish to a Dean Ambrose match WTF?!). Not Bad:Erick Rowan & Ryback & Dolph Ziggler vs Kane & Big Show & Seth Rollins(This match was not bad but not good either, nothing noteworthy happened and it should have been Seth Rollins to make the pin); Nikki Bella vs Paige(This match was not bad but nothing special, with a botch and the roll up finish seemed poorly executed. But at the end of the day the match did his purpose on advancing the storyline for the possible alliance between Paige and AJ for a Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania). Good:MizTV with Paul Heyman(Paul never fails to deliver); Randy Orton Return(Good return and the very first significant sign of how terrible the crowd was, I'm looking forward to the Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins match at Wretlemania. Should be a really good match and I hope Seth wins it); Goldust, Stardust/Cody Rhodes and Dusty Rhodes promo/segment before and after their match(Good job from all people involved to advance the storyline); The Usos vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd(Good match but I was expecting more from these two teams); John Cena vs Rusev(Good match but nothing great, the right person won. Rusev and Lana have been delivering big time this last year, I hope they don't get screwed after this Undefeated Stuff is over). Great:Sting and Triple H "Face to Face confrontation"(Triple H was really good here and Sting did his job great too, the segment delivered like I was expecting it to do); "The Undertaker Return"/Bray Wyatt Promo(When I saw the lights go out and heard the Druids I marked out, but the very second after that I figured this would be Bray Wyatt instead. Good Promo from Bray but I don't think this match should happen. I know it's bad for Wyatt to lose again but hell if he's going against The Undertaker this year, then he has to lose the match. No sense in making Taker lose two years in a row, that can't happen); Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns(This match was Awesome and the Match Of The Night, both guys delivered like I was hoping they would. This match was great for Roman Reigns and he looked great out there with Daniel Bryan, using some new great powerful moves. The people that didn't like him in this Match and claim that was all Daniel Bryan are pure haters now, and obviously will never like anything he ever does. Both man did great. Awesome). Anyone else think maybe we get Paige and AJ vs. the Bellas at WrestleMania? Or a Triple Threat/Fatal Four Way? I think that's exactly what's coming. The Bellas will probably continue to make Paige's life a "living hell" and AJ will return to even the odds since she has unfinished business with The Bellas too, making it a tag match for Wrestlemania with AJ & Paige vs The Bella Twins.

I enjoyed Fastlane, but I also don't go to Coney Island and get outraged at the lack of a Vermeer exhibit.

Yeah that crowd was awful. Only occasionally popping for any moment... Bryan finally got them to do something towards the end of the match. (and his entrance was pretty darn quiet, which even though it's been lesser recently, still one of the stronger (or strongest) ones on the roster.)

Solid PPV. I'd give it a B.
The Stardust/Goldust fight was lacking, but it felt a little rushed to begin with. The rest was solidly entertaining and some smart booking too!

PPV gets a Bret Hart 4/10 rating from me. What I thought was weird was Reigns was super mega selling that stomach kick to the point where I thought they might even do a stoppage, and Bryan wins--or after Roman started a counter attack that Bryan would hurt his neck and they both couldn't go on, thus setting up a triple threat.... but then after the super sell job on the stomach, it's all good the rest of the match pretty much. That was weird. Normally I don't have much of a problem with Roman's selling, it just seemed really strange to do that much and then have nothing come from it.
