The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Psychic]

I don't envy you doing that every week KKLEIN. I'm not sure I could.

[Dante]

I was going to do a write up, but after the opening section I couldn't bring myself to have to force myself to remember any of it bar the Bryan/Rollins match.

It's amazing how much we sit through that is gooseberry fool to get a little bit of wrestling awesomeness

[captain red dog]

Jesus Sykes, I actually thought you made up that opening and had to check the Raw results on PWTorch to make sure!

Unbelievable!

[KK]

Likely the final card for WWE Payback:

Three Stages Of Hell - WWE Championship
Ryback vs. John Cena

World Championship Match
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler

Triple Threat Match - WWE Intercontinental Championship
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns

WWE United States Championship Match
Kane vs. Dean Ambrose

'Best In The World' Grudge Match
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho

Pre-Show
Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow

I wonder what direction they will take punk in, if this was on TV and not PPV I could see him waving off the Chicago crowd and going home to turn into a hometown heel. But they won't do that on PPV.

ALSO, I've had Cody Rhodes theme stuck in my head all day and I haven't even heard it since last week, WOOOOOAH ONLY SMOKE AND MIRRORS

[Jam-Master Jay]

Punk and Jericho going for the Best in the World stuff again. If Punk wins again that'll be 3-1 in his favour wont it?

Edit: It seems Mick Foley is doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit.

Clicky

They have kinda played up the fact that Jericho will be in a hostile environment with a partisan crowd..it seems odd to me having someone like Jericho go up against Punk in Chicago. Someone like Cena yeah because he's a face that's used to being booed. I was sure that Punk would no show and then Axel would take his place, but now i'm not so sure.

KKLEIN.

According to Review-An-Impact, you've gotten the ratings for Impact wrong two weeks running now.

Apparently last weeks show did a 1.05.

[captain red dog]

It's an odd situation with Punk. He has already been away about twice as long as when he "walked out" during the 2011 Summer of Punk.

It would probably be better for him to stay away from TV for longer but the actual show is so bad right now they really can't delay much more.

I'm just thinking how great Summerslam would be headed by Bryan vs Punk.

[Dark Ritual]

Just got around to the Review-an-Impact contest for the Wai Rap contest. Some absolute strawberry floating gold in there.

Agreed. I also don't like the idea of him returning at a ppv for s match he should return out of the blue on tv to create a buzz.

[Johnny Ryall]

The LAW could well be talking about Canadian ratings. Or Pollock could be wrong again.

[captain red dog]

I think Pollock just got it wrong.

AJ cut the promo of the night on Raw I reckon. Very poor show other than that. Sykes run down summed it up perfectly.

AJ v Kaitlyn.

[KK]

Reminds me, Kaitlyn's tits on RAW were EPIC.



AJ Lee, probably telling Kaitlyn that very fact.

[KK]

WWE RAW averaged 3,990,000 viewers.

Hour 1: 3,893,000
Hour 2: 4,085,000
Hour 3: 3,992,000

Likely a 2.8-3.0 rating.

Without no NBA I don't know what's taking the blame this week. E3, I guess.
