WWE confuses longevity with actually drawing money.

Anyone else here watching the mindless stupidity of this Ultimate Deletion sketch? Maybe this will finally be the end of this silly Matt/Bray feud?

Unfortunately...

I can't believe that this is part of the gimmick that the Internet loved before the Hardys came back to WWE. Bray deserves better than that awfulness.

And I guess Jeff Hardy isn't fired for his latest DUI arrest since he made a quick cameo at the end there.

I thought Kurt Angle was trying to be a stand up comic to start the show. “I’ve got some bad news to deliver tonight” crowd waiting to hear the WWE is keeping Brock off the show for the latest attempt to make everybody like Roman

“Roman Reigns is still suspended and won’t be here tonight” crowd goes

They broke the outdoor record for bad matches with that one..

I loved The Ultimate Deletion. It will be cool to see what they do next.

Weird..he gets cleared..day of Smackdown few weeks before Mania..it’s a “miracle”

People don't like Roman, but, shit like this Hardy crap is good? FFS... WWE fans are retarded.

Word is Bray is being repackaged

The Yes Midget is returning!
Whoopdee fucking Doo........

Yeah, I don't get it. I went on Twitter to see what people were saying and the amount of times the word "Brilliant" was used was absolutely mind-boggling.

I think he already got hurt again? Might just be story line, but, yeah, I'm with ya.. Big two mounds of " Don't give a shits" here.. Luckily, I don't watch Smackdown much, Even less now because I can't stand the midget goat.

I'm actually a big fan of Daniel Bryan but I really hope he's as healthy as they say he is. I'm already cringing watching him, just thinking that one wrong move can paralyze him.

That sucks. He had so much potential for so long and they destroyed it all.

WrestleMania Card looks like it's going to be:

Brock/Reigns
Styles/Nakamura
Cena/Undertaker
HHH & Stephanie/Rousey & Angle
Daniel Bryan & Shane/Owens & Zayn
Miz/Rollins/Balor
Orton/Rusev/Jinder/Roode
The Bar/Braun & ? (Rumors are it will be Elias)
Alexa/Nia
Asuka/Flair
Usos/New Day/Bludgeon Brothers
Andre The Giant Battle Royal
Women's Battle Royal
Cruiserweight Championship

I think there's going to be a lot of title changes this year. I'd say Styles and maybe The Bar could be the only ones to retain but both matches can really go either way.

They buried Bray 3 years ago with him losing to Cena clean at 2 consecutive ppvs. That was his moment and it’s beem downhill since.

Was that before or after he won the World Championship at Elimination Chamber? Because that seemed like the moment they were finally going to run with him and the crowd was still behind him and then he lost the belt at like his next match.

ETA: Rumors are going around that Bray is not happy about them trying to repackage him.

I like how Rock put Wyatt over at Mania then destroys Wyatt family..stupid ass Rock

Wwe must truly hate the firefly lighters at events..fans seem Love this..delete delete delete this!

I don't know. I feel like Wyatt was the closest thing they've had in a long time to someone who could have been the next Undertaker or Mankind in his own way.

Wyatt Family should have stayed together for a decade
Fans loved them..wwe thinking lets tear them apart and make 3 stars! Horrible idea all of them got lost fast

I agree. The Wyatt Family was better than The Bludgeon Brothers.

And there was a window where Harper turned on Wyatt and fans were getting behind Harper and then they just threw him away.

Whatever they do with Wyatt, I really hope they don't make him join Hardy like some early rumors were suggesting.

Jesus Christ, they really love that "partners who hate each other yet somehow still win the belts" story-line don't they? Maybe it's my imagination, but it feels like they've done it about half a dozen times since like 2002.

Yeah, it seems they really do love that as a go to these days.

I like Elias but would much rather his partner be some kind of big surprise that nobody saw coming. But the commentators on RAW seem to be leading to it being Elias and constantly reminding the audience the last two weeks about how The Bar hated each other and feuded with each other before becoming a Tag Team.

There was also what seemed like an on air mistake when Elias made a comment about being a better tag partner for Ronda Rousey than Kurt and I think it was Cole who thought he said Braun and they started talking about the possibility of Elias being Braun's partner which led to Graves yelling at him that Elias didn't say Braun, he said Ronda.

I know it's a loaded card, but IMO it's disappointing that they don't have something better for Braun this year.

I don't know what they should have done with him. After Elimination Chamber the early reports were suggesting that Braun would be part of the Intercontinental Title Match at Mania. I'm surprised they didn't just have him enter and win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and have him dominate it like they instead had him do with that Tag Team Battle Royal.

Tony Atlas talks about being homeless at one point:

What they should do with Braun
Have Braun pick Curt Hawkins as he walked to the ring at Mania
Braun starts the match and wins never tagging Curt
They become tag champs, every match Braun starts and wins with Curt never getting in a match. Be great for both Braun looks strong and Curt looks great as the ultimate jobber is tag champ doing nothing

That's better than anything they got going on Smackdown ... I Like it! LOL..

Only time I think of Smackdown is when I see it on a feed. Never watch that show. Completely boring.
