The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

What swerve was that?

Del Rio was meant to win the title last year at 'Mania, but they changed their mind because pretty much everyone thought he was going to win it.

That actually worked out pretty well for them with Edge's retirement. By the way, have any hall of famers been announced for this year yet?

Edge, The Four Horseman (Arn Anderson, Flair, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham and JJ Dillon) and Mil Mascaras.

Decent. No Macho Man though?

[Pontius Pilate]

Was hoping for Christians return tonight.

Expecting Undertaker to show up soon too. Maybe he won't even have a match this year though.

[Corazon de Leon]

I got 152/271 in that sporcle quiz.

For the rest of you irish hip-hop/wrestling fans...Im sure there are loads...

[Dark Ritual]

By the way- Kharma's almost certainly had her kid by now.

-> Dirt sheets: "Jericho is going to win the Rumble!"
-> Sheamus wins the Rumble
-> Dirt sheets: "Ahhh, this must be that swerve we mentioned to cover our tracks"

Could someone spoiler post the final four of the rumble?

[Skippy]

Here you go

Sheamus, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Big Show

[Something Fishy]

I didn't see it but how does any of that relate to Jericho's "The End" vids and has "she" been revealed?

or was it all utter horlicks and already forgotten? For a moment i thought Vince had remembered how to build a story.

[Zellery]

Cheers, Skip.

[Phatman]

Can some kind soul please PM a download link when one becomes available? Don't want to run into any spoilers in the thread tis all. Thank you.

I never felt so torn, my grapl pick and my sweepstake number in the final two

only had time to watch the rumble match itself this morning but I thought it was really good, will have to watch the rest of the show sometime later though

None of it whatsoever related to the videos.

Mike Tyson is being announced for the Hall of Fame tonight, apparently.

[Skippy]

I don't get why the LAW is so surprised about Sheamus. They called it "weird" too

He's been pushed to the moon since Summerslam and has rarely lost. He's over and this is the the last big push he needed. Hopefully they go with Barrett as champ for Mania but I doubt it.

[Mockmaster]

I think they were just more surprised that Jericho didn't win it.

Can't believe I had Hacksaw Jim Duggan in the sweepstake.

[Skippy]

I'm convinced Sheamus is going to win the Rumble now, and I love it! If he does then he's gone from WWE's worst attempt at building a new star to their best in only a couple of years. He's been on the up ever since he turned face.

Then Jericho ruined it with crypticness

LAW using Ziggler's "burial" (wouldn't say it was that bad myself) as reason to justify WWE's apparent inability to create new stars despite Sheamus winning the main event! Seems weird to me
