The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Ginga]

Breaking news is The Undertaker was burned last night by the flame pyro in his entrance. He wasnt seriously burned but it was bad enough that he was given water bottles throughout the match inside his cell to drench himself in. The burns were on his arms and chest.

His pre-match reaction was throwing off his jacket immediatly and sprinting to the ring instead of the usual lasting entrance. After the PPV went off the air, The Undertaker didnt do any taunts like normal after scaring off HBK. Instead he walked up the ramp and yelled at the pyro he was burned by before making some geistures. He then headed backstage furiously and yelled at WWE officials and staff. They tried to settle him down but they were un-able to. The Undertaker continued to be mad but he is lucky that it wasnt worse than it could have been.

I said last night during our chat that it looked like he'd slipped or tripped up but I didn't realise it was the pyro.

Taker should get his head shaved and rejoin up with Kane and become the Brothers of DOMEstruction

I'll get my coat.

strawberry float, he looks old. It's like he's in his late 60s - he really should wear his hair forward over his face.

Look at all the blotchy burn marks!

Covering up his burn cream, I imagine.

There was me wishing it was a buried alive match between them. HBK is taking time off after mania, so I guess they will find a way to bring him back.

It was like stepping back into 1997. Brilliant.

Why would you want a gimmick match between two of the best in-ring performers ever?

That or this is the year the streak ends...

See what a good VT package and letting two old pros shoot does?

I actually thought he was going to say Hell in a Cell with Career vs Streak to up the ante.

Agree'd. It was all put together very well and didn't over do the set-up.

This could be only the second WrestleMania where the Heavyweight/World Title isn't the main event of the show.

Heath Slater?

We haven't seen a buried alive match for a long time. A few of them were good. A lot of Takers matches in the past year haven't really been great. I'm sure HBK can carry him again.

Heath Slater? Blow my mind? I think he likes to blow something else...

Big Show arguing with a mechanical bull

I've seen it all, now.

Jewel can ride my bu....ah strawberry float it, these jokes are too obvious.

It's stunning how that pre-de-constructed, fold-out barricade, spring-loaded and easily breakable upon impact just collapsed when a 400 pound man crashed into it. Stunning.
