The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[KK]

It's on Blu Ray! I've ordered it on Box Office as a trip to Wrestlemania 25 is up for grabs.

[A J Styles]

Anyone going to TNA live in Birmingham tonight?, looking forward to it and i can hopefully see Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarret live.

30-Man Royal Rumble Match - WORTH 3 POINTS!
Winner: Jeff Hardy

Jeff's in a singles match for the WWE title with Edge.

Aye, but you'll notice I have Edge to win the title. Also everyone else was going for Orton so I thought I'd try something different.

[Chocolate Jim]

Can I offer a prize to the person who

a) Gets the highest Score
b) Has a Nintendo DS/ Wants its anyway

....a Free copy of Smackdown vs Raw 2009 .... thats if I haven't sold it by Sunday .... I dunno how I am gonna find out who is eligible but its on the table if Rog is down with that?

Have fun. The only problem with that is that JJ is in the match.

I went for Orton because every year the wrestler who is involved in the main storyline on the RAW/SD b4 RR always wins. SO it's either Orton, Jerricho, HHH or Jeff Hardy. I say Hardy because i think it's possible he could drop the title to Edge because of interference by Christian and then turn up as no.30 or whatever and win. Although i don't want that to happen it would be a could storyline.

However i've gone for Orton because surely the fact that Steph fired Jerricho for something as minor as disagreeing with her would mean that it wouldn't make sense for Orton not to be fired as he beat the crap out of vince. Can you imagine if things worked this way back in the 90's, Austin would have been fired the first time he stuck his fingers up at Vince

The buyrate for Survivor Series 2008 is in. 205,000 people in the United States witnessed Cena return to the ring & defeat Chris Jericho. 326,000 bought the event overall.

The numbers for Survivor Series have to be considered a huge disappointment considering that the company pushed John Cena's return to the ring for several weeks on all three shows with vignettes, not to mention that they tried to hotshot an Internet angle on the company website with Jeff Hardy on the day of the show

[IronMaiden]

Why's everyone going for Orton?

Because he's RANDY ******* ORTON.

this.

The buyrate for SS isn't really surprising, it was pretty subpar from what I remember.

Of course you can!

BUT.

I expect a draw at the top.

See the thing is pushing Cena as a return for SS wouldn't get WWE any more buys anyway. I doubt anyone actually bought SS just because Cena was coming back. I'm sure that who likes cena is probably still into the product and was either going to order it or watch it somehow anyway. I really don't think that there are people out there that only watch WWE because of one wrestler, Cena, Hardy etc..

Raw pulled in a 3.9 - the highest rating since...March 2008?

[E-Man]

Got my Rumble numbers for the bet me and my mates put on each year:

13, 14, 23, 26, 27

Pleased with those, trying to become the winner for the third year in a row!

The McMahon effect strikes!! do u have a breakdown for the ratings? Overall i thought it was a good raw so hopefully those extra viewers saw something they liked and will continue to watch.

Also i miss the old adverts they used to make for ppvs like the royal rumble.

Although i don't miss this one

The first hour did a 3.65, with hour number two drawing a 4.08. No news on the considerable overrun yet.

From Rev Theory's Official Website:

POSTPONED We just learned that our WWE "Raw" performance that was scheduled to take place on Monday, January 26th has unfortunately been postponed. Sorry to disappoint, but we'll keep you posted on a make-up date once we have official confirmation! - Rev Theory

This is Orton's fault. Fancy kicking the owner in the head...

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Interesting that the live performance has been postponned. I can't figure out the reason for that.

Also i've watched Orton's kick to Vince head again and he really caught him in the head hard.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Well, at least we don't have to sit through a live performance of that shite.

[Hank Scorpio]

I loved Orton's old music .

[Jam-Master Jay]

I loved Orton's old music .

I hated it with a passion.

But his new music is so bad it makes me want the old song back.

[Cropolite]

I loved Orton's old music .

It got tedious after the fifth play.

Aren't you the guy who just hates Orton in general?
