The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

New year draft? Change ECW to a PPV?

I think ECW has reached the point of no return. They weren't featured at Hell in a Cell & they haven't got a match at Bragging Rights either.

A familiar Production theme here, 'tweaked' by WCW...

Yeah, I noticed. Once the 'originals' left ECW should have changed or been killed off. Just destroying the legacy now. Shame really.

I would like to see WWE get rid of it or re-brand it at least. Could also freshen things up and give some a new leace of life - Christian or Shelton anyone?

Was there any real reason Chris Jericho was on ECW this week facing Christian?

Was he? I missed it Good match?

Anybody watch Bound For Glory then?

[Psychic]

I saw it from the tag title match onwards and it was pretty good. Well worth a watch, especially for the ridiculous strawberry float up in the Foley/Abyss match.

Spoiler it for me?

Foley hit Abyss with something, (I don't remember exactly what) and pinned him, the ref counted to 3 as Abyss forgot to kick out. Made me laugh anyway.

So was Foley supposed to win?

Watched Bound For Glory, was a decent PPV, not as brilliant as people had said, but a good 7/10 PPV.

The Ultimate X was a nice opener, some good spots, though I thought the end spot with Suicide and Daniels was just plain idiotic, there was no reason for it, spoiled what was a decent bout.

Knockouts Tag Team was awful, the Beautiful People are nice to look at, but not when it comes to wrestling.

The Legends Title was poor, I felt sorry for Hernandez who carried the whole match, whilst being stuck with Nash and Eric Young who I feel is stupidly overrated, his piledriver looks gooseberry fool as well.

The TLC match was great, I really like the British Invasion, they've improved in leaps and bounds since they first came onto the scene.

Knockouts match was pretty good, but that was to be expected with 3 good workers.

Lashley v Joe was just The fans shat all over Lashley, he seems to have the effect wherever he goes, mainly because he's such a boring character who does the same thing over and over, they should have really put Joe over to be honest.

Abyss and Foley was ok, never been a big Abyss fan, but the match delivered on what it was meant to.

Angle v Morgan was nothing special, nowhere near worthy of the hype TNA had surronded it with, but it did its job.

Sting and AJ told a good story and it was a solid match, not on the Angle/AJ match on Impact level, but it was enjoyable.

One other thing, can they please replace Mike Tenay on commentary, he was doing my head in within the first half hour, really, really dreadful.

[KK]

Mike Tenay is fine as someone who adds colour & depth, but I can't say I'm a fan of his when it comes to play-by-play.

[Skippy]

Pretty much agree with all of that. I enjoyed Lashley/Joe though had some nice wrestling. Angle/Morgan was my MOTN though. It all felt a bit underwhelming for what's meant to be their Wrestlemania. Especially the ending with Sting, just felt like a weekly show.

No, the match was supposed to carry on but Abyss forgot he was supposed to get his shoulder up. The ref and Foley just sort of looked at each other and then carried on.

Haha, WTF? So Foley technically beat Abyss but because thats not how the story was ment to go they just continued?

[KK]

These things have happened in the WWF all the time - usually at the hands of referee Earl Hebner, who has one of the most unconvincing 'kick out' counts in history.

Can anyone remember the last time Triple H lost cleanly to someone? No outside interference, no bullshit shenanigans.

[vesp]

Wrestlemania against Benoit.

[Psychic]

Wrestlemania 22? Cena made him tap out I think.

[vesp]

No DQ against legacy a few PPV's ago?

Though it was HBK who was made to tap?

Did Triple H get pinned in that PPV? I'd have assumed Michaels.
