GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

So wait, out of Orton and Wyatt who are we supposed to root for?

I would imagine Orton is the face in the feud and Wyatt would be the heel. The whole storyline seems to be terribly booked from a neutral perspective as it seems that by giving AJ Styles the title shot at Wrestlemania but then focusing the Feud on Orton and Wyatt it leaves AJ with very little to do but just turn up, probably a result of them wanting to make sure AJ was rewarded for his good year but they had no idea what to do with him.

I think the way they have done it as well is a little bit out of the blue. Since day one it was clear Orton would turn on Wyatt and there was plenty of opportunity to do that since the Rumble but to carry it on and then throw that in at the end of a random smackdown just seems to be hashed together to try and build something up that probably could have been done a long time ago.

I don't know, I kind of felt sorry for Bray at the end there, not something you should feel for the lead heel. I mean, as bad as he's been over the years he's never desecrated a grave has he?

I kind of hope Abigail shows up at Mania now, "back from the dead" and costs Orton the match, which I shouldn't be doing. I should want face Orton to win the title, but he was a massive jambo in that segment, so I'm kind of rooting for Wyatt now. Wyatt has to do something to redress the balance

It seems they have a great opportunity to build Wyatt up now as the character he probably should have been over the past couple of years. If i would have booked it, i would have had Orton walk out on Bray after the rumble, or have him eliminate him. Perhaps a week or two of the Harper fallout and then put the title onto Bray as planned. Then Orton full blown turns on on him last week, the whole business, then perhaps have the segment this week as they did. That way they would have established the rivalry long before now where it just seems to be thrown together just to get the program moving rather than natural progression.

They've used AJ losing a title shot as a way to start the build up to an AJ v Shane match at WM. Also started to set up the Cena/Nikki v Miz/Maryse on the show it seems.
 
Curious to see how they book the Owens vs Goldberg match tonight...

Goldberg winning clean makes Owens (your full time talent) look weak...

Goldberg winning due to Jericho attacking Owens makes no sense (Jericho would be costing himself a potential title match main event at Mania).... Same with Lesnar attacking Goldberg to help Owens keep the title...

I think Jericho will interfere first, then Lesnar - progress both feuds to Mania.

If they give Goldberg the win it is shocking booking. Him vs. Lesnar is the textbook definition of a match that doesn't need a title on the line to sell.

Well that's the thing isn't it, Making Goldberg vs Lesnar for the Title at Mania, doesn't really make that match any bigger.... But Owens vs Jericho for the Title, does give that match more importance...

I guess Vince just thinks having Goldberg appearing on chat shows with the belt promoting Wrestlemania over the next month will attract more interest than Kevin Owens would.....and Lesnar vs Goldberg Main event will attract far more buys than Owens vs Jericho
