The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Lonestar]

Vince flips his lid

By Bryan Alvarez

Just wanted to chime in with a more appropriate headline for the previous story.

[KK]

Scary. Hot, too...in a dirty, 'I'm going to need to be very drunk first' kind of way. And mental. Mustn't forget the mental...

[Zellery]

Do we know if Sky are going to go commercial free too yet?

[Irene Demova]

Do we know if Sky are going to go commercial free too yet?

They aired the trailer as commercial free (in an advert break on sky sports 1)
So hopefully yes

[Irene Demova]

20 mins in and no wrestling.

GO MIZ!

EDIT: ah that's how they're paying for it

[KK]

Nearly half an hour in & we finally get a match.

It's just like this week's iMPACT!

[Jam-Master Jay]

Ziggler's new music is shite.

[KK]

Best crowd for Raw in years.

[KK]

I do believe Vince cracked up at that Goldberg line.

That Santina/Santino thing must've been prerecorded, surely?

Yeah, the edit was noticeable.

[tomvek]

Late to the show.

Thanks for the link as usual TG

[KK]

Well, that was a quick storyline.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Just glad that it's over.

[KK]

After a really solid hour, we've now got to endure another Show/Cena match up. NO THANK YOU.

[Chocolate Jim]

-Trump is back out with Eve and Maria, who it should be pointed out are on the show he DOESN'T own, but those are just minor details right? Trump says there's nothing like really good ownership, and says that earlier tonight he said after the show they're getting their money back. He says for all the people watching at home we get no commercials. Trump says he's not going to appoint a General Manager, but instead he's going appoint a celebrity host every week. Oh lord…kill me now. He says it could be an actor, actress, WWE Champion, but every week its going to be someone different. He says he will be working for us, and we'll get lots of freebies from Donald Trump. He says the greatest thing to happen will be Wrestlemania XXVI. That finally brings out Vince, and says he's had enough of what Trump is doing. Vince says he had no idea that Trump was going to do this commercial free stuff, and he loses a lot of money when he does that. Uhh…why? HE DOESN'T OWN THE strawberry floating SHOW ANYMORE! He says there are rumors that Raw will be commercial free every week, and that tickets will be free every week. Vince says he can't do that because in six months time he'd be bankrupt. SERIOUSLY THIS MAKES NO strawberry floating SENSE WHATSOEVER. Trump says this is peanuts, and he can do whatever the hell he wants. Trump says a lot of his billionaire friends want to buy this from him, and he could double his money whenever he wants if were to sell it. Vince asks how he could be so stupid, and says Trump played him. He says this is a well orchestrated plan to drive Vince into bankruptcy. Vince admits that Trump is smarter than him, and offers to buy Raw back for the same price he paid. Trump says he has no interest in that deal, so Vince says he'll pay him what he paid plus 25%. Trump turns it down again, because he likes the people and likes letting them in for free. Vince offers goes to 50 and then 75%, but Trump keeps turning him down. Vince offers him double his money back, and finally Trump finally agrees and sells Raw back to Vince. That's it? Seriously? Vince tells Trump one last thing. If he ever sees Trump again he'll knock him on his billionaire butt, and then fires him. Trump slaps Vince, and then security comes out and separates them. This makes absolutely no strawberry floating sense whatsoever, but at least it's over. I think.

3:25 onwards, HHH hit a fan with the ladder - note the complaining

[Rog]

Wow they really did refund the tickets Bit stupid seen how easily that headline can be twisted.

[Floex]

I thought it was going to be Tazz

Really, I didn't see that coming at all? Where were the clues? Bah, this has got more plot holes than Terminator Salvation

"Angle's the only one left on Joe's List" and The angle sting row meant it was one of them and sting's leadership meant it was angle

but then again I have been watching TNA far too often recently

But Angle broke Joe's arm! I can see the storyline being "Joe needed to find his 'true' self and needed his enemies to get the best out of him

Also, pissed off they didn't do anything with Eric Young. Was hoping he would come out and cost Jarett the title leading to a good new feud

Now, we have hardly any babyfaces. It's Daniels and AJ, which I hope they push to the moon. But I can see Sting leaving but I strawberry floating hope they don't push him as the main babyface! I sure hope they push LAX alot too, especially Hernandez

Man, I should write that show

[KK]

Cut the stage hand's eye, hurt a fan...nice one Hunter!

[Zellery]

Watching RAW now, how awesome is Legacy's new music?

Also nice to see Sky going with the ad free angle too.

Shame the RAW roster doesn't have enough solid talent to actually complete a full two hour show with no breaks though, so they call in the Smackdown roster.

[Mockmaster]

So the Trump angle was a 1 week ratings spike attempt and a bit of publicity. What an anticlimax.
