The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Kanbei]

There's no way Brock won't win Sunday after what happened on Raw, especially now they are building Brock v Rock.

[J. Vengeance]

I'm going to do something different this year in my GRAPL and base every result based on a cpu vs cpu match on WWE 13.

Watch me be bottom

Watching Mark Henry on Raw, I actually realised he is more intimidating than Brock at the moment. I'd never have said that 10 years ago!

TNA wrestler Austin Aries was hit with a "severe fine" by the organization this week after he went off the script during a recent live event and shoved his man bits into a female announcer's face, TMZ has learned.

The unscripted crotch-thrusting went down earlier this month on "Impact Wresting" ... when Aries became upset at announcer Christy Hemme for calling him the wrong name during his ring intro.

Hemme was clearly upset during the junk attack ... and afterward, she even tweeted about the incident ... calling it "unacceptable."

But sources tell us ... Aries -- real name Daniel Solwold, Jr. -- reached out to Hemme and privately apologized, acknowledging he crossed the line.

TNA also came down hard on Aries and slapped the wrestler with a fine -- it's unclear how much cash Aries will have to fork over.

As for Hemme, we're told she has spoken with TNA officials and told them she was "satisfied" with Aries' apology.

Wrestling ... it just got REAL, SON!!

I love these reports that she was clearly upset. She was nothing of the sort!

Was there a big American sports game on during Raw or something? Never seen so many segment losses and with very few gains.
