The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Dante]

It's odd how WWE got every result right but still Summerslam was a very dull show

[Codename 47]

Just read Lesner is kicking off raw tonight.

I have no idea how many appearances he has left in his contract but from here on I would like to see him wrestle at every ppv and win, giving him some credibility before he goes into the title scene. Maybe beat Orton and Jericho. Plus a raw match with Kane and big show. He could then beat punk for the title before losing it to rock who then loses it to punk when he leaves wwe again.

I have a nasty feeling that he'll end up having a rematch with HHH which HHH ends up winning..

Personally i'd like to see him and Heyman come out and say how Lesnar is now going to start his path of destruction and mow down everyone and anyone that gets in his way. Maybe even tease a feud with Punk or Cena again by bumping into one of them backstage and giving them a warning. Speaking of Lesnar, would Cole not allowed to say the word ass? When referring to that promo vid Lesnar did he said "Lesnar said he's not a entertainer, he's a butt kicker..". And any news on whether he suffered any injuries from last night? I actually legit thought that blow to the stomach he took strawberry floated him up (similar to how his last UFC fight ended).

Yeah I'm expecting HHH to have a rematch which he wins, which is a shame as it would just seem that Lesner only won as HHH agreed that he would win a rematch.

Fred Durst DID NOT get kicked out of WWE's SummerSlam last night for giving the middle finger to the camera, despite reports to the contrary ... in fact, the real reason he left the main arena was to apologize to the producers.

The web has been blowing up this morning with reports that Durst was hauled out of the Staples Center in L.A. Sunday night because he flipped off the camera during the broadcast (above) ... a big no, no on a family friendly show.

A rep for the WWE tells TMZ ... the reports are 100% FALSE. The "Limp Bizkit" frontman didn't get the boot, he just felt so bad following the incident, he immediately went backstage to apologize for his actions.

The rep notes, "We appreciate Fred’s apology. However, we take our family-friendly environment very seriously and this was a violation of that. We sincerely apologize to our fans.”

Not only did Durst peace out early to apologize ... he claims he also wanted to beat the legendary L.A. traffic following the show. Durst tweeted, "I was leaving to beat the traffic! Haha, security escorting me out?? WWE is family. hahaha. Is this really a rumor? Amazing. My boys at WWE are cracking up! Note -- never leave early to beat traffic!

Lesnar's winning.

Keep telling yourself that. No way triple h will lose twice in two

This year will almost definitely be our fifth different champ in as many years. If Proto wins then GRAPL is over forever and I will name him the eternal champion.

It's happening. #ProtoPredicts

[Dante]

Well Hell in a Cell is coming up - would not be surprise to see Lesnar/HHH rematch then

[Rog]

So I have added all GRAPL scores ever together for fun....

I'm sure there are some people there who are there twice because they had some corny name change so tell me if that is you.
Over all five seasons we've had 78 (maybe some dupes) people play. I'll do this again at the end of season 5 and maybe somehow work it into the game.

[Drumstick]

Not bad considering there was one season I missed a PPV early on and then didn't bother for the remainder.

I feel like the Manchester united of grapl.

I know I've asked this a couple of times recently but I haven't seen an answer. Is jericho supposed to be leaving again soon?

[Jam-Master Jay]

Surprised to see myself there as I've only bothered 2 or 3 years.

And yeah he is.

[Rog]

I feel like the Manchester united of grapl.

You're only just above average and have only achieved results through intimidation, luck and arrogance. Now destined for the downturn as those near to you take your place. Sounds about right

Before any of the United devouts get shirty that is a joke, you can relax Zellery.

[Mockmaster]

I guess that makes me Mockchester City.

Same here. Only one free ppv between now and feb seems like a really long time as well.

Also surely night of champions has to have the wwe title as the main event?
