The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[KK]

Fantastic video package for John Cena there, but I have absolutely no idea what this is doing on Pay Per View.

Cena would probably be a great character if the booking didn't continually stitch him up. If it's not the awful jokes, it's the atrocious storylines - such as the current one with Kane.

[YouSmellOfWee]

This is pretty terrible so far

[KK]

And so this disastrous shitty storyline must continue into February.

Kane wheeling out Ryder in the wheel chair though was absolutely hilarious. This is becoming very reminiscent of Kane vs. Edge from SmackDown last year.

Kane wheeling out Ryder in the wheel chair though was absolutely hilarious..

My stream died just as Kane and Cena were fighting backstage. When my replacement stream started I was greeted with Kane pushing some guy around in a wheelchair. Was like "lol wtf?".

This is like one of those TNA PPVs, where they use the PPV to promote the free TV show & various other stuff. TV spots, commercials for RAW, video packages, squash matches, crappy Divas matches. This is supposed to be the Number 2 PPV of the year, guys.

Johnny Ace wearing the old Vince McMahon referee's shirt!

Why is Laurinitus not referee?

Kharma . I thought she was still pregnant? Surely the WWE didn't just have a pregnant woman in the match and thrown over a top rope?

Must have had it. She had to stop competing as she was high risk.

[Drumstick]

Can't believe Barrett went out so early.

[Drumstick]

Great booking there, WWE.

[Skippy]

Good stuff. It seemed like Jericho would take it but they really needed to push someone and have them win the title at Mania


Sheamus/Barrett or Sheamus/Orton for Mania

[Bindal]

Called it. Can't explain how happy I am I stayed up to watch this. I marked out like crazy at the end.

[Dante]

Danielson/Sheamus would make me very happy

[Banjo]

So, so happy to see that Dee Oh Double Gee.

[Mafro]

I guess that was joke swerve finish Alvarez & Meltzer were on about on their podcast the other day that they'd heard about.

Punk v Ziggler aside, it was probably the worst Rumble in years.

[Pontius Pilate]

Proto is a dead man. Here I was, sitting in my room (alone), with my DDP tshirt, self high fiving all night long.
