    Let's see, we had:

    - one world championship match ended in a no contest in a no-DQ match
    - other world championship match ended in a shady finish
    - not to mention the seemingly botched finish in the mixed tag

    Yep. Just another day in Vinceamania.

    That would be a fun and interesting twist on Monday. Have Corbin come out and say that Braun didn't need to cash in the briefcase, because Corbin had secretly made him the No. 1 contender anyway. Strowman will even get a rematch at the next PPV.
    Braun, however, willingly turned over the briefcase to Corbin, and since it's now in his possession Corbin is the new Mr. Money in the Bank.

    Kayfabe precedent says match continues, Brocks hardly the first guy to rip the door off.

    He F5’d Roman on top of Braun. Thats the finish, just count the 3! Its right there!

    That pop is just insane. To me, this is what Goldberg was all about. He was booked perfectly for the longest time. He wasn't going to impress you with his in-ring skills. He just got in there and destroyed everything in his path. Incredible strength.

    Goldberg played his part well. But there are a great many wrestlers who could get over like that if they're shtick was that they never lost.

    This is so dumb. I really hate when they do this to fans. Let them cheer, or boo for whoever they want.

    In fairness, it's based off a bunch of twitter posts that don't give reasoning behind confiscating the signs. The person who took them says she had handed a bunch out. It's possible since they saw a bunch of signs going up in the same section, they took them so that fans behind them weren't obscured, and not a matter of them targeting signs because they supported her.

    I dunno. Hasn't worked too well for Roman Reigns.

    It was working well even for Ryback, until they didn't push him to the championship. I'm worried the same thing might be happening with Strowman - Dan St. Germain mentioned on the Masked Man Podcast that they're booking him like the Big Show now.

    Ryback wasn’t even remotely close to being over like Goldberg.

    I mean, nobody was over like Goldberg except maybe Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Steve Austin.
