I'll say what you will about last night's unimaginative booking and haphazard hype for WrestleMania But the blue brand rocked it in terms of delivering some solid matches matches like shinsuke vs. Jimmy Uso Ricochet vs. Umberto Carrillo and Angel Garza and the fatal fall way between Sasha Banks Shayna Baszler Rhea Ripley and Queen Zelina provided a lot of action high spots and flat-out entertainment Number three Paul Heyman is awesome A Paul Heyman continues to excel as the wise man to Roman Reigns a snivelling coward who provides a brilliant blend of Personality that enhances Roman's character doesn't steal the spotlight Roman has come a long way from when he needed Paul Heyman to help him on promos But Heyman has become such a big part of the bloodline that it's hard to think of him not being around He's the man fans love to hate and who provides comic relief as needed, but that was the good What about the bad is number one unimaginative booking. I will say this about Paul Heyman's alignment with Roman Reigns It works it he He's the the Snivelling sidekick that everyone loves to hate, but he actually has like some funny moments that enhances the overall Bloodline storyline that they have going on right now and Paul Heyman. He's just a gem He's just a gem you give him a microphone You're gonna pay attention to him when you love him and hate him You're gonna pay attention to him Last night SmackDown showed a complete lack of imagination when it came to the show's booking Nearly every singles match was used to build a various tag team matches at WrestleMania And while the matches were good the creative team put zero effort in last night's show Sounds about right Number two, Ronda's wretched promos Ronda Rousey continues to provide entertaining promos, but she has no business cutting them Okay, let's be fair not everyone has the gift of the gab Although some wrestlers can improve given the right time of training But the WWE should know better than to expose someone's weakness, especially when they're a main event her The WWE should really keep Ronda's promos really short or better yet Just give her a recorded backstage promo until she really improves Yeah, her promos This this proves what some people tend to overlook you can be Great in combat sports You can be one of the best to ever do it and octagon MMA ring wherever And you know, they hype up the the matches, you know, you know when they're having their little press conferences and stuff But it's different. It is very different when you're trying to set a promo in front of a live audience It's different, you know, not anybody can just do that just flawlessly it takes time It takes skill to deliver a promo to sell a match You would think oh, well, she's done it before but they're not giving promos on those press conferences Those are just them talking talking they shit. It's not giving a promo. It's not setting up a story It's literally just them talking trash and they can kind of get away with whatever they damn They want to say for the most part, but building a promo saying a promo you it takes time and and Ronda She's not good when it comes to promos it comes off just very boring It's it comes off as herself like just very Straight to the point not much to really say Kind of dry. She has to like really create a character And she so far has not been able to successfully do it promo wise. She's believable for sure But at the same time it just comes off bland and dry. What do you guys think about it? Three lackluster WrestleMania hype The blue brand provided a bare bones buildup for WrestleMania and while the buildup wasn't exactly awful It was surprisingly dull compared to this week's Roar. Yeah, Roar actually did something better than SmackDown Last night was actually SmackDown's go-home show as a blue brand will feature two matchups leading into WrestleMania weekend So why the lack of hype also SmackDown? That was their go-home show. Wow Didn't even know that well, some pundits have argued that SmackDown has done it all it can do to hype its Mania matches and it seems like this is the case with Brock Lesnar versus Roman as they've exhausted the usual build-ups Such as contract signings sneak attacks, etc. Still the WWE seems complacent in promoting Mania Number four Ricochet booked for SmackDown and not Mania Wow It's like the WWE's booking of Ricochet says all you need to know about his push as IC champion While fans were thrilled to see him capture another singles title not featuring a champion on WrestleMania Even the pre-show is kind of an insult to Ricochet and the IC Strap The triple threat match should be exciting. So why not book it on WrestleMania? It's understandable why the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is booked on SmackDown as it is an exciting way to lead into Mania And its absence from the showcase is Understandable although we do think it could have easily been booked on the pre-show Now there's nothing I'm confused How in the hell do you not have the intercontinental champion ship defended on Rest WrestleMania all titles should be defended as simple as that Every single WWE main roster title should be on the line. It's WrestleMania Oh My god, that doesn't even make sense to me. He is the intercontinental champion and he's not defending the title at WrestleMania I Guess I don't know man. This is I Don't know It's a two night show. You tell me you couldn't get ricochet in one of those. All right No comment, bro. Just whatever Think downright ugly as last night show featured several excellent matches But an anemic build-up for the WWE's biggest show of the year Was a creative team too busy booking Mania If so, let's hope the efforts pay off as last night's SmackDown was a sorry excuse for a go-home show What did you guys think of the blue brand last night? Let us know in the comments down below now? Let's move on to the news Now first story looks at the sad truth behind Triple H's retirement a topic news today is Triple H's announcement that he has Officially retired from wrestling Despite WrestleMania 38 just a week away. All the wrestling world seems to be talking about is the game's shocking statement Hunter who suffered a life-threatening cardiac incident last September spoke with ESPN about what happened and why he's done I will never wrestle again. First of all, I have a defibrillator in my chest Which you know probably not a good idea for me to get zapped on on live television Yeah, that would be horrifying The 52 year old WWE Hall of Famer revealed the circumstances leading to his brush with death last year Telling ESPN's first take that about with viral pneumonia led to a doctor's visit where an examination disclosed Helmsley had fluid in both his lungs and around his heart Doctors told him the situation was grim I was nose-diving and sort of at the one-yard line of we don't want to be really for your family and your future There's moments in there when they're putting you out for stuff and you think is this it do you wake up from this? Yeah, it's tough to swallow and makes you think differently While Triple H had not officially retired his wrestling appearances did become increasingly rare as he focused on watching over NXT While Triple H didn't rule out a return to the ring such as when he battled Randy Orton on Raw in January of 2021 after McIntyre tested positive for COVID. He seemed content not wrestling Ironically Vince McMahon had actually discussed the cerebral assassins return to action at WrestleMania 38 Triple H elaborated I was already at a place in my career as far as in ring goes where I was comfortable being done and finished If the right thing came along I hadn't really said much But if the right thing came along and they wanted me to do it I had a conversation with Vince McMahon about doing something at WrestleMania this year in Dallas We talked and there were plans for but obviously when this happened it shut all that down As far as the schedule WWE is an intense place It's 24-7 and you're running running running it put things in perspective for me Are the 14-time world champion as death everything possible in the WWE and seemed content without his career Transpired and we wish Triple H all the best as he embarks on a new chapter in his life It's pretty cool that he first debuted on March 24th 1992 with his official in-ring debut only to retire almost 30 years and one day later 2022 That's that's crazy when you think about it, man I made a video talking about it triple H is one of the best to ever do it It just sucks, you know how you know things played out and why he has to retire, but at the end of the day He's done it all in the business.
