The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Something Fishy]

Glad to hear the Punk match was good. The positive way they've written up Danielson and him as the best technical wrestlers hopefully does mean both have a future then after all.

Good to see they have forgotten all the rookie crap about him too now (learning from Miz my ass) and wrote him up as a veteran.

[Zellery]

I had no idea the Johnny vs Cena match was for his job. I would have totally gone Lauraunitus if I had have known that and got a perfect score in GRAPL. You can see how much WWE I've been watching recently.

Oh well, never mind.

[Rog]

Just caught up on the thread. I love the fact that WWE have done such a shitty job with marketing this PPV that not only did Rog not realise there's a Kingston/Truth v Ziggler/Swagger match on the card, but nobody in the thread has mentioned it whatsoever either

It wasn't on the card Thursday afternoon which is why it isn't on there. I use wwe.com and the wiki page to do the card. Neither had it.

[captain red dog]

WWE do amaze me that they aborted what would have been an awesome return for Kong (excuse the pun) because everyone had guessed, but decided to go ahead with the predictable Show helping Johnny. That is now probably going to lead to another Cena/Show feud that I'd bet people want to see even less that Johnny vs Cena.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Damn it, I thought I had changed my prediction to Jericho losing. Would have been my second perfect score!

PM's going out in a min.

I haven't watched it yet, and now I don't want to I am ridiculously involved in this show, and am worried that I'll have some kind of aneurysm watching condomface win. He makes me so strawberry floating angry I won't be happy till HHH comes back for good.

[Drumstick]

Just picking up from last night, starting with Punk vs. Bryan.

[Mafro]

Just reading the results. So they can't have Lesnar beat Cena, but Johnny Ace is fine

[Drumstick]

Punk and Bryan was brilliant, a sure fire MOTY candidate.

Paddy Power are doing Over the Limit

£5 on Sheamus, Punk, Laurinaitis, Kane and Layla returns £35. I'll be having some of that.

Wish I'd done this

So the top six win the PPV with perfect scores! They grab a heap of bonus points and the other nineteen people who were only one point off are left to rue picking Del Rio to lose.

So KK and Caped Chameleon are tied at the top with Dark Ritual just behind. The trio have a healthy lead from the rest at the moment. It is early days though and things will change. If I remember, last year KK lead for most of the first half of the year and threw it away in the second. Our current champ Mockmaster did the opposite and is looking ok in the middle of the pack.

Next month the GRAPL Tag Battle begins with the qualification round. All of this years current entrants will be included and any new entries.

[captain red dog]

Darn, most predictable PPV in ages and I messed it right up! I blame myself for expecting crazy WWE booking. Next time I am going to be a bit more reserved with my picks.

[KK]

I'll fly through OTL before watching RAW. Just can't be arsed watching the rest of it. Complete lack of interest in regards to this show.

[Corazon de Leon]

I didn't do GRAPL last year, so I'm happy to be near the top of the leaderboard so far.

[Dante]

Probably my best GRAPL run to date, only 7 points off the top - However i have a feeling NAH WEE OOT could be a difficult PPV to predict after how easy OTL was

All of the download links are down. Thankfully a brief search turned up some new ones that are taking forever to dlownload.

[Mockmaster]

Slow but steady..... As the champ I don't need to be at the top right now. My merchandise sales are off the chain, my 'Mocks' (branded Mockmaster socks) are outselling Caped Chameleon's Chameleon Mask by 3 to 1. The company is sticking with me.

My Rapid Pro ran out last month so I didnt bother renewing and started using Torrents. Last PPV I downloaded (sacrifice) took about 15 minutes.

Typical no selling from the champ right there

So it turns out betting 5 English pounds on Layla, Punk, Sheamus, Laurinaitis and Kane got me £36.41 return
