Wrestlemania 31
Wrestlemania tonight could be one of the best in recent memory. Anyone else watching it tonight? This is also my first forum topic post. Just wanted it to be short and sweet.
This is the one day of the year that I watch wrestling. I just found out Macho Man got into the hall. It's about damn time. Hopefully the crowd will be hot. I don't remember any previous Wrestlemania's that were in California beside the infamous Wrestlemania 9.
Beat me to it!
Yeah, not sure how this card will shake out, but if the crowd is hot this could be a decent event especially the ladder IC title match, the Taker-Wyatt confrontation, and Lesnar vs. Reigns. Lesnar resigning with the WWE makes it way more intriguing a main event, and it could get interesting depending on what they do with Seth Rollins and his MiTB briefcase.
Best in recent memory?!
This thing is going to blow goats. So many missed opportunities and so many predictable matches.
WWE logic: the guy they pushed and gave the world title to last year is fighting for the midcard title a year later.
This thing will be hot garbage. Raw tomorrow is going to a hoot when they boo everything and everyone after this stinker when Roman predictably wins.
The guy can't stay healthy and has been advised to stop wrestling. Why would they give him the title?
It's not like their current champion wrestles 5 times a year or anything....
Reigns was out for 3 months with a hernia surgery. And Bryan's injury, while serious, isn't anything worse than what a half-dozen other guys have dealt with. Michaels had a terrible back for years, Lesnar has had to deal with diverticulitis, Stone Cold had a broken neck, etc. The reason they don't want to give the title to Bryan, at least right now, is because he doesn't look the part and, in very limited sampling, didn't draw incredibly well on the couple of PPVs he was on. But nothing has been shown that anyone else on the roster except Lesnar or Cena can draw either.
Rollins is cashing in
I want to see Lesnar win, Reigns hit him with a low blow from behind followed by a Superman punch and Rollins cashing in. Then, Reigns, Rollins and Heyman walk out in a victory formation. Reigns turns heel and Lesnar turns into a pissed off face.

And Lesnar isn't good on the mic.
I heard Wyatt went down today in run throughs. Wonder if the undertaker match will be shortened?
I assume all who will be watching will be eating their boogers for dinner?
Well, you might be a redneck!
Ignorant.
I think being a redneck infers ignorant. I don't think he needed to be that explicit.

Anyone else impulse buy WWE network just for tonight?
Also, these guys don't get the props they deserve as performers. People like to complain about it being scripted, but for them to stay in shape, portray a cool gimmick, deliver lines convincingly, sometimes (sorry Reigns), and execute an entire fight choreography in one take, the whole thing is quite an impressive production when one thinks about it.
Yeah, but I'll probably continue with it. getting all this and all the historical stuff for 10$ a month is going to bring me back in for the first time in a decade

I just got it about a half hour ago. I usually watch these on my laptop with a bad stream, so this is a nice treat tonight being able to see it on my TV.
I've been a member since it started - it's hard to argue about $10/mo for both fresh and historical content.
I bought the subscription to be able to watch tonight, but might end up keeping it. Had a marathon of old matches last night while drinking heavily. It was pretty good entertainment, especially being able to watch some Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, etc..
Nice. I was hoping for a WM thread. I shall be watching it. I was also hoping Damian won the battle royale, but in true predictable fashion, Big Show won.
to see Owen Hart
Herm? Live larger.
From giving it to your mother
I'm honestly amazed there haven't been Guerrero or Benoit jokes yet.

Benoit jokes used to kill.
March 29th, 2015 at 10:23 PM ^
Vladimir GUERRERO
BENOIT Benjamin
Don't usually watch it but I'm a few beers in so why not.
It's still real to me damn it!!!!

I tune in to wrestling now and then, and I just find the guys of today to be with a few exceptions (Lesnar) to be vastly inferior to past WWE stars. There are no Hogan's, no Austin's, sure as hell no Rock's, No Undertakers no Savages and on and on. I find the guys WWE is pushing lately to be small, with small personalities IMO anyway.
Well, to counter you are naming 5 guys who are probably the biggest names in the modern history of the wrestling (throw Andre and Flair in and that's basically THE list). But as someone whose watched pretty much since the late 80s/early 90s, there have been a number of fallow periods where stars of today would have been huge.
Cena is a legit star on the level with any of the other guys listed - he can talk, he looks great, connects with young and older fans to different degrees, and has some cross-over appeal. Punk had huge credibility with smart fans and has had some decent crossover - the fact it matters a 40-something guy with no fight experience went to UFC proves that. They are looking for similar stars, and the booking/storytelling has been lacking for years now, but it's not like the the guys of today are inferior to the vast majority of WWF/E/WCW talent in the past 20 years.

But most of those guys I listed all worked at the same time--its not like this is the Ruth, Cobb Mantle listing over 80 years. And now that they are gone, I for one aren't as interested in the new guys I see. Punk was interesting but hard for me to really get behind, Cena I agree on though. I just don't get the love for guys like Reigns and others like Daniel Bryan, who are supposed to be the biggest stars there. Triple H is still better than IMO all but Lesnar, and he's a holdover. Even Brett Hart, who was a top level but not really the highest level guy, IMO was way better than almost everyone there now. Oh well I'll go look at my lawn now.
I hate that the majority of this is going to be in the sunlight.
Daniel Bryan (Or a Shamus run in costing him the title)
Bella Twins
Triple H
Undertaker
Cena (Lock of the night)
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns (Vince is just to predictable, and they've been pushing Reigns way too hard to divert now. Although I'm pulling for a Brock win, or at least a Seth Rollins cash in.)
Sheamus is bald now apparently.
He still sucks.
I'll be happy if he doesn't show up. He essentially became a PG version Fit Finley. But doesn't he have a nickname, like Red something? Or Crimson something? Without hair how's that going to work?
It's a shameful thing, LOBSTER HEAD!
What a shitty theme.
I've read that Bray Wyatt is hurt, and might not be able to go tonight. This guy on squared circle (reddit) who is supposedly connected says that sheamus is the back up plan. http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/30q5y5/bray_wyatt_injure…
Today is the super bowl of booger eaters everywhere!
Easy dude. He is probably a middle schooler. Be gentle.

Hey, my mom says that's natural when she comes down to the basement.
Place looks jammed. And pleasently surprised by the quality of this Orton-Rollins match.
Wow, that was a good match.
Best RKO I've ever seen

Rollins got big air there; really helped to sell it.
They are dying for Rousey to get in the ring for the WWE. I suspect she will in a couple years once she "ages" out of UFC's top women's spot.
This Tripel H entrance is pretty silly - not going to lie. I think a lot of it is due to the lighting and the time of day, but just a bit silly.
Yeah that was lame.. all about advertising money.
