The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

Magnus in Panto? Need tickets for that gooseberry fool yo.

Also, I'm joint third in GRAPL? Yeah boy.

Ambrose and Tyler Black Debut, hmmm. In the first time in don't know how long, may have to check them out on Raw

If they literally squash these guys with 'Goldberg' then...

Same thing as usual I guess

Yeah I'm actually quite tempted to stay up for Raw for the first time in a while. Feels like ages that the end of a PPV has got me really interested to see what happens the following night on Raw.

With Punk apparently having a celebration tonight because of his 365 days as champion, surely there's no better time for them to unveil a new WWE Championship?

If someone could PM me a link to Survivor Series I would be forever in their debt! Cheers.

Same here.

Would love to go to a Magnus panto and chant "this is awkward"!

E-man got the entire survivor series match correct

Quality Other than Hell in a Cell, Survivor Series is the first WWE I've watched since Summerslam. It wasn't too bad, quite enjoyed the last two matches.

[Kanbei]

Thought Sheamus/Big Show was the best match of the night. The first elimination tag match was better than the second one though Although Ziggler is just so good at selling moves.

This intro is actually reminding me of the old Todd Pettengill video packages that you used to get in the mid 90s.

[YouSmellOfWee]

Prince Albert Vs Fakeberg to start off RAW

[KK]

It's like they want bad ratings to open the show.

Apart from all those food analogies, that promo by Ryback was pure Goldberg.

And just what everyone wanted, Orton vs. Del Rio in a 2 out of 3 Falls match.

Rest holds up in here

That was a nice video package for Make-A-Wish/John Cena.

Apart from Kailyn looking amazing, this has been a really uneventful first hour. Especially coming off a PPV.

And now the arrival of a Claire Lynch look-alike...

[KK]

Oh gooseberry fool, Cena looked like he'd broken his ankle or something running up the aisle.

[Cosmo]

Cena

[KK]

Cena obviously had such a massive erection it tipped him over & broke his ankle. Let that be a lesson to everyone.

[KK]

Wow, this show has ground to a halt.

[YouSmellOfWee]

Cena killed the show.

[KK]

John Cena...literally taking the show into the toilet.
