They're really going with Lesnar vs Omos?

Sadly yes.... which makes the Lashley/Lesnar finish at the Elimination Chamber pointless.

Lesnar’s gonna suplex a big dude. It’ll be a spectacle, enjoy it.

Rollins: Miz, last week you were being a bit of a B-Hole.

Miz: I'm NOT a B anything, I am an A Lister.

Rollins: OK, so you're saying you're an A-Hole?

Well.... damn, wasn't expecting that. 6 Woman Tag at Mania still?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I'm happy to keep the trash together. Lesnar (theoretically) can't infect anything else if he's fighting Omos. He doesn't need to be anything near relevant. I just wish I could willingly take dumps in public places so I could go take one during that pile of ****.

Cody and Gable was the segment of the night. Utterly excellent match. I really admire Gable. Guy always tries hard, does his best with what he has, puts in good matches. It shows how much they trust him to fight Cody ahead of Wrestlemania. Safe, veteran worker. His neck was wrenched good during the finisher though.

Rest of the show was pretty unmemroable. Fast forwarded a lot this week. Come on guys, good weekly shows into Wrestlemania at least. The programs have largely been great but leading into Wrestlemania we really need A++ week to week top to bottom product.

Lesnar vs Omas is basically a Lesnar WM match for people who think those 8 minute matches vs Goldberg were too long and technical.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

RAW was just okay this week. Nothing major happened in my eyes. I mean stuff happened but I remember the road to Wrestlemania being much more exciting than this. Perhaps its because the Roman is still holding both Titles. And he's still part time so Cody can't even do anything until Roman shows up. Cody's match against Chad Gable was solid but you know that Gable is out there to make his opponents look good. I did chuckle at the Miz TV segment as Miz is just so good on the mic. Then Seth Freakin Rollins shows up to knock him out so he can use Miz's phone to call Jake Paul. That was clever for sure. I laughed at some of the remarks Rollins made to Jake too.

I guess I laughed at the Brock/MVP segment too. Have I already mentioned that I can't buy Asuka contending against Bianca due to her lack of mic skills? Bobby Lashley made easy use of the jobber Elias. The Lashley/Bray feud is fresh though. About the Tag Team Title scene, hard for me to care when the Usos have both Titles as well. Speaking of Tag Team Titles, the main event match was solid. The rumors were out there about a Title change. It happened. With Trish coming out to help, that evens up the team against Damage Control

So why are we still doing the Firefly Funhouse stuff if it isnt involving the Fiend? Because if I recall correctly, that was the gateway for the Fiend....and if we've learned anything from the Rumble, Wyatt's new "persona" is exactly the same, just with a different mask/makeup and all the no selling.

Seth Rollins came out to celebrate with Becky, Lita and Trish on his way to do the dark match.

The thing is... this match could easily work if Omos was built up over the past 6 months or so. Instead, he's done nothing note worthy and lost to Braun Strowman. I think the fact it's just so randomly happening is why fans hate it.

It's only being done to see if Brock can F5 Omos. If you really wanted to go for a real **** show, should have just brought back Khali.

Lesnar hitting the F5 on Omos, but before that we see Omos lifting Lesnar up above his head so they can talk about how rare it is to see Lesnar ever being the undersized guy in a fight.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Of all the Wyatt segments that'll leave us saying "what the ****", tonight might have been the most what the ****-iest.

...what the **** was that?

Honestly I'm over Bray at this point. The whole Uncle Howdy thing jumped the shark at the Rumble.... literally. I'm cool with the spooky stuff but Bray needs to learn to do this without the spooky stuff. Apparently Brock did not want to work with Bray so the Elimination Chamber match with Bobby was changed. There were other rumors about Roman wanting Bray drafted to RAW in 2020 because he refused to work with him.

Bray is very creative obviously but at the end of the day, spooky stuff only gets you so far in wrestling. Should have brought back original Bray and started a new Wyatt Family.
