The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

At least Prototype has left GRcade

[Corazon de Leon]

I enjoyed that. Rock delivering some pain, and some heels winning for once. Next year should be awesome with the Rock vs. Cena set up.

[Cuban Pete]

Best bits.......Undertaker, Stone Cold, Snooki

[KK]

You know what - maybe they should have ended with Undertaker/Triple H. Miz/Rock/Cena was kinda anticlimactic, to be honest.

I enjoyed this WM more than 25 & 26.

Didn't have the stand out match like Michaels/Taker from those two shows, but overall considerably more consistent. In fact, with the exception of the bloody terrible Commentator show down, there wasn't a bad match on the entire show. Booking was a bit all over the show however.

I've really got to see how bad 25 was now. I thought this one was mostly dull with a handful of genuinely exciting moments in a couple of matches.

The ending was bizarre.

At least Prototype has left GRcade

He made a stupid "If x wins, I'll leave" bets, didn't he.

Yeah he said he'd leave GRcade if The Miz won.

Jam will have to email him is RAW links in the future now.

Goodbye forever Proto.

I'm just a bit offput by some of the weird finishes. Not many people had Miz retaining, but the way it ended was a clusterfuck. There was no need for the countout, Rock coulda just gone through the crowd. If he wanted to cost Cena the title, he would of let the countout stand! Then him taking out Miz was just shoddy booking.

Taker/HHH: Match of the Night, but finished strange, seemingly due to Taker being strawberry floated over. Del Rio not going over was another odd one, but I suppose they didn't want both Heavyweight matches going to the heels. Corre being beaten in 1 minute was pointless.

As always with WWE, the booking seems to have been done at the last minute. Just an aura of chaos about everything.

[Banjo]

The earlier matches were enjoyable I found. Mysterio/Rhodes was pretty great in fact, that superplex was awe inspiring. Rock was cool as ever, but I agree with the sentiment that Taker/HHH should have been the finale.

My stream ended with the person immediately flipping over to Babestation.

[Delusibeta]

And now for something completely different: a Botchamania double bill.

[Mafro]

Edge v Del Rio

Seriously

What the strawberry float?

[KK]

Cena/Miz was just your average RAW match. Crowd weren't particularly bothered, though they weren't completely dead like Triple H vs. Randy Orton from 25.

Hopefully Rock/Lawler are back for good, because they were in another league to the others tonight. A bit more sedate than normal I noticed, but they did a brilliant job making you believe, especially in the Taker/HHH match.

[Skippy]

Great event overall but the ending was very strange, could have been handled much better. Taker/HHH had too many moments where they did nothing.

Triple H: "STAY DOWN! STAY DOWN!"
Me: "Pin him you strawberry floating idiot!"

Anyway, say hello to your new GRPL champion

I think

[Dark Ritual]

As someone pointed out earlier, with Miz/Cena it was just a case of the fans knowing Rock was getting involved at some point. It took Miz's kickout from the AA to get them invested.

I wish Ross back for good, too.

[Mafro]

Up until the Punk v Orton match, it just felt like Smackdown.

Not sure what to make of it at all.

[Jam-Master Jay]

No idea how I did in GRAPL. Forgot who I picked for half of the matches.

At the very least I'm still 1/2 of the Tag-Champs.

[Jay Adama]

Punk vs Orton was the match of the night for me. Taker/HHH was atrocious, I can't believe anyone actually enjoyed that pish.

[Mafro]

Not a bad PPV overall really, I may be a bit controversial with this, but: 9/10. More Tomorrow.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Well I'm off for a snooze.

Stupid of me to stay up as I'm in gooseberry fool condition and have to go to hospital in about 5 hours.

Links ASAP.

Edge/Del Rio - Just about passable
Rhodes/Rey - Perfect for what it was, both did well. WWE clearly have faith in Rhodes
8-Man Tag - Short but did the job (like Corre LOL)
Punk/Orton - Great match
Cole/Lawler - Great again
HHH/Taker - Brilliant idea, not executed brilliantly. Still good
6-Person Tag - wtf Snooki
Cena/Miz - Someone needs to be fired for the booking but a promotion for putting Miz over
