With Kane and J&J security turning on Rollins, it's seems way too obvious that Reigns will either cost Ambrose the title in some way.

I reckon the reason for this was because WWE realise how much they f**ked up by removing EX in place of a shit PVV called "Fastlane" with no theme as such... just a shonky name for a noneless PPV relating to "The road to WrestleMania!"

Hopefully they'll learn from this and bring EC back next year in Feb!

Leaving it off the road to Wrestlemania was actually a good idea.

The EC match is one of the more dangerous and demanding matches in the business. Turning it into just another stop on the way to Wrestlemania where it was a pseudo Royal Rumble just made little sense, especially since there were a lot of years where they were struggling to get stars involved or build any sort of heat for the match.

So keeping it off the calender and preserving it as something they could go back to down the road was actually a good idea.

The problem was they panicked and threw it on in the middle of no where. Not only did it lead to two very underwhelming and messy matches, it also damaged the appeal of Money in the Bank which feels very half-baked.

Anyone see the Stone Cold podcast with Paul Heyman? Right at the end Heyman brings up the possibility of Lesner vs Austin at WM32. Straight away switches from host into Stone Cold and in 2 mins delivers one of the most real and awesome promos i've seen in ages. Man that guy is good.

I thought it did very well in it's February position. Keep in mind WrestleMania doesn't usually involve extreme matches... sometimes yes, but most of the time the build up is just big and the event is normal. Literally 50% of the time there is no wrestling involved (only about 120 mins or so) and it's not that taxing on wrestlers as you would expect it to be. MitB, Extreme Rules, TLC etc... are more brutal.

Was flicking through the channels and caught the 6 man tag match with PTP and new day, have to say it was a pretty good match

Watched Raw and really dont think anyones going to get into this Sheamus as Mr Money in the bank. For me thats two royal rumbles in a row and a MITB they have stuffed up.
