The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Lonestar]

So Vince is inducting Austin? This seems to be Austin's slot then, and it's not even on during the actual event

And Vicki Guerrero pregnant? It's a comedy storyline for the WM Main Event!

April fools (I hope).

For shame. You also need to see the return match at Backlash 99, as while not as good as the 'Mania match it it still great.

I'm still waiting for my DVD to arrive, not that I've got time to watch it at the moment anyway.

I've seen the Backlash match though

That PPV had a great go-home edition of Raw beforehand. For those that don't remember, Austin turned up to his own 'funeral' in a Monster Truck, before having a fantastic brawl with The Rock & knocking him into a grave that was set up next to the entrance. Shane then turned up with a shovel & clonked Stone Cold with it.

The McMahon/Legacy fight that happened on Raw this past Monday however most certainly won't be a DVD moment.

Right. I thought you might have done but considering you hadn't seen the 'Mania 15 match I wasn't sure.

The thing that is most awesome about the 'Mania match is how crazy Hat Guy of ECW fame goes when Austin wins the title - he's sitting on the camera facing side right of centre a few rows back if I recall correctly, and he starts marking out like crazy when Austin wins.

Also, this theme music is AWESOME



I'd mark for HHH and Steph coming out to this on Sunday

[Adam Pollard]

Aye, Hunter's theme through late 99 - early 2001 was strawberry floating awesome, easily my favourite ever wrestling entrance theme. It's the bit at the start which does it, that just screams "this badass strawberry floater is going to kill you"

Also helps that during that period HHH was on top of his game (no pun intended) and was easily the best worker in the company. That's why even though now he regularily buries people to such a detrimental effect and comes across as such a dick, it's still impossible for me to hate him.

[Zellery]

What's happened to Trish's top lip?

Any idea if Lita's still fit?

[Zellery]

A quick search on Lita's myspace page shows that she is still fit.



And that she now seems to be in some band who also happen to have the worst name ever.

Riiiiight so see if you guys can follow me with this ....

According to RAW ... Orton has gone to Vikki Gurrero who has now made the match 'if HHH gets DQ'd Orton wins the belt' ..... errrr few questions ...

Don't the McMahons employ Vikki G?
Why not fire her for doing so?
Why don't the McMahons just completely change the rules of the match so that Orton gets his head kicked in .... make it 5 on 1 or something?

This story line has the most ridiculous amount of holes in it.

It was the first thing that came to mind when I was watching it too.

Then there is just one thing to conclude.....


THIS JUST DOESNT MAKE SENSE!

WHY DOES AN 8 FOOT TALL WOOKIE LIVE WITH A BUNCH OF 3 FOOT TALL EWOKS? IT JUST DOESNT MAKE SENSE!

[Cropolite]

Why do wrestlers wait seven days to get revenge on their hated rival when they could just have it any day of the week?

[KK]

I suppose it's a bit like the old Commissioner role - who was somehow always able to overrule the McMahons. Or the imaginary 'WCW Rule book' (Chris Jericho brought it out once...it was a random book with black masking tape over the actual title).

Lets be honest, there probably isn't a soap opera anywhere in the world with as many plot hole discrepancies as the WWE. That's before you even get into basic continuity.

[Zellery]

Isn't it because Vicky has been in charge whilst the McMahons have been gone, so she would have made that stipulation before they re-appeared on RAW?

Makes sense to me.

[KK]

Well you'd change it. Either on WWE.com, ECW or Smackdown. Off Vickie for a minute, why even insert that stip into the match?

After everything that has happened between Triple H & Orton, who the hell wants to see a normal match? They've practically killed each other & now they're going to have a bog standard wrestling match.
