The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Codename 47]

Wrestlemania 30 - Brock/Rock, Austin/Punk, Taker/Cena

I want to go to there.

I'd be more than happy with that 3 awesome main events there...4 of the 6 guys are part timers but I guess that's how things are these days

You just know they're going to pull out all the stops for WM30 but i hope 29 ends up being a good show as well. Is it too much of a strech to get a Punk/Lesnar feud for this year's Wrestlemania? Maybe Punk turns on Heyman or something or blames him for letting Rock duck out of the way or something.

[Skippy]

I'd love to see anti-hero Punk take on Brock but it ain't happening!

[Balloon Sod]

I'm sure it'll be great for business, but personally I've got no interest in Brock/Rock 2. The first match was good, but that was when Brock had more than 2 moves and the Rock had lungs.

Austin/Punk though? Oh yes

[Dark Ritual]

Doing well for someone who's pretty much followed the WWE through podcasts only.

What I want to know is does rock have something wrong with his lungs? I clearly remember towards te end of his last full time stint nearly ten yrs ago he would pant like crazy and wheeze alot throughout his matches. He know appears to still do the same and I think it's worse now. He looks and sounds like a 40 a day smoker who works out like crazy.

[JChalmers]

Wow that del rio botch at the end was on the levels of sin cara!

[captain red dog]

I do think we have to be slightly careful when we think Rock is gassing. He is one of the best at selling and looking knackered during a match is all part of the game.

That said, he obviously isn't as fit as he used to be but he still probably had the best singles match on the card, rest holds or not!

He's 10 years older, and is obviously just bulking up for his movie parts recently. He's in shape, just not in the right shape to go a long match without a bit of a struggle.

Just watched a bit from last night,The Shield . I'm genuinely shocked they haven't strawberry floated it. Just have them beat Hell No already.

Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter giving a President's Day State of the Union Address announced for RAW.

[Slimgrady]

Jericho starting the match then, joining D-Bry as the second person to start the match.

Nope. WWE counts Jericho as first. Cole confirms it during the commentary.

strawberry floating bullshit.
I blame the shitty phrasing of the question.

Saw this on Facebook:



They go on to say how X-pac will go against Hulk Hogan in a sex tape on a pole match, or something. They make a good point about the XXX, 30 would have been better.

Funny you should mention that. Some of you may remember this which I posted back in October:

There has been discussion within WWE in regards to how they will promote WrestleMania in 2014, and whether it'll be called WrestleMania 30 or WrestleMania XXX. There has been particular talk of running Los Angeles, where "XXX" - which has strong connotations to pornography - would not go unnoticed. Currently 30 is looking the most likely.

When I was watching the order of the chamber match, I knew it'd cause controversy. Is Jericho 1st or is he 6th for example.

Glad to see Rog went with first.

Well he clearly wasnt 6th
The way I see it,first man out of the pod is third in the match,obvious enough.As for the 2 guys starting I see it as like a rumble match.So Byan was 1 and Jericho was 2.But whatever,not like I care or anything

A long match? There were rest holds FROM THE START OF THE MATCH. He's not in any shape to do anything even remotely intense when it comes to cardiovascular activity. It's truly laughable. I don't know how you guys who watch wrestling all the time can even try to defend it. He's got no business being in the ring right now.

Re: Red dog. The constant need for rest holds isn't because The Rock is 'selling' being gassed, it's because he's actually completely gassed.

Jericho to enter at which number

He was literally the 6th man to enter the chamber.

Semantics.

That he was.Ok,he was either 6 or 2 then. .......but not 6.

[KK]

I was with Slimgrady in terms of interpretation. I was classifying entrants in terms of the match itself, rather than the order of who was making their way to the ring.

Bryan and Jericho were 1 and 2 respectively. Or you could do it in terms of entrants from the pod, in which case there would only be a choice of 4.

[Slimgrady]

A better question would have been "The 2 men to start the match".Thought it was pretty obvious Bryan and Jericho would be starting 'cos they could put on the best straight up match,and Jericho having the flashier of the entrances would be last entering,thus being the second man in the ring.

[Prototype]

Ah, but will it blend?

[Corazon de Leon]

I'd love a Jericho vs. D-Bry Mania match. Preferably in a cell.
