The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Corazon de Leon]

I had a fantastic shout on an 8 match accumulator, £6 was bringing in over £100. Brilliant thinks I. And here's how it went.

Sheamus - big fat check!
The Big Show - Punch to the face!
Maria Menounos and Kelly Kelly - a-yep!
The Undertaker - well, of course!
Team Johnny - Thanks for that one Eve!
CM Punk - Definitely!
The Rock - Certainly!

Randy Orton...

[KK]

I wonder how late Vince McMahon decided on Rock winning.

[Dark Ritual]

- As seen at WrestleMania 28 tonight, Sheamus became the World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Daniel Bryan in the opening match. Sheamus won in just 18 seconds with a Brogue Kick.

F4Wonline.com reports that the plan was for them to beat the Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero record for shortest match a few years ago but they didn't beat it. The short title change had apparently been planned for a while but there were people in WWE trying to get it changed.

Bryan vs Sheamus pissed me off really bad and I think it killed the mood of the show (to me the opening match should help set the tone), I know I wasn't the only one who was pissed, those fans were mad too, they were hyped for that match, YES! signs everywhere and Bryan jobbed in 18 seconds .
Just makes me sad.

[PES Fan]

Why does The Rock need to put Cena over? Cena is over big.

I could understand if it was someone else like CM Punk because he hasn't won many big matches.

[Jay Adama]

I'm glad Rock won, hoping this brings about the change in Cena we so desperately need.

I agree with everyone else really, first hour was terrible and then it really picked up. I wish the crowd had been a bt more into it overall, there were points where they were really alive and it made everything seem so much better but then sometimes they were completely silent :/

Can't wait for this: http://www.wwedvdnews.com/ecw-unrelease ... led/22452/




Comes out in the US on June 5th. Joey Styles is hosting it and he confirmed on Twitter that it'll contain original footage.

MY stream died and it cut back with Sheamus celebrating in the ring. I assumed they were still showing some promo stuff. Awful start to the show. Enjoyed it nonetheless anyway. I don't sleep so it's not big deal I stayed up. Probably wouldn't have chosen to stay up though.

[Mafro]

Still no idea why on earth the Big Show is still winning titles in 2012. Hopefully it's because Rhodes is being pushed into the main event scene.

[Corazon de Leon]

Kane and Orton actually ruined the whole show for me. strawberry floating raging.

[Slimgrady]

I don't care how it happened,I'm happy Sheamus beat Bryan!
Thaught it was a very good show over all,best of the last 4 anyway!Taker/HHH was great,surpassed my expectations.Punk/Jericho was solid,and I enjoyed Rock/Cena too....Mainly 'cos Rock won!
Kinda disappointed Lesnar didnt show up after all the rumours,but theres always tomorrow I suppose!

[Mafro]

Really surprised at Orton losing clean. Seems to have fallen down the pecking order for some odd reason.

Probably took another gooseberry fool in somebodies bag.

Probably just Vince screwing with the internet fans as he likes to. That said, it's not exactly something people will remember.

[Dante]

Not a big fan of this Wrestlemania at all; bar Punk/Jericho I didn't really get anything from any of the matches (Biggest problem being I hate Cena and was never ever a Rock fan back in the day, so the main event felt like nothing but fluff - Not saying I don't see why everyone else liked it, just not for me)

Disappointed in my GRAPL performance, but that's my fault for putting down who I wanted to win and not who I thought was going to win

I overslept and missed the first half an hour, couldn't believe I had already missed 3 matches Glad I didn't see Danielson job, that would have made me switch off right there and then

Really surprised at Orton losing clean. Seems to have fallen down the pecking order for some odd reason.

When was the last time Orton lost clean at Wrestlemania, out of interest

WM25 against triple H wasn't it?

[Dante]

I think it was, not as far back as I thought it was. Still should have lost to Punk last year after burying him in the entire feud

[Mafro]

WM25 against triple H wasn't it?

Oh yeah, the crowd reaction after the pin was literally

Hey guys...


#TeamJohnny WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!









The rest of the event...





The Rock clearly hitting Cena with a few stiff shots, being rigid as hell, and all those rest-holds? Utterly bland match, with a predictable finish as soon as Cena went for the Elbow. I didn't feel as though there was any of the electricity of the Hogan/Rock match, and all the other people watching with me (massive Rock fans) agreed and were disappointed by the match up. There were a few good spots though, but nothing that special. Rock could have done with a few 'warm up' matches, he didn't look to be in any sort of rhythm in the ring and was quite sluggish.


That Daniel Bryan match was a shambles. Utter shambles.
