The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[vesp]

No DQ against legacy a few PPV's ago?

Though it was HBK who was made to tap?

Did Triple H get pinned in that PPV? I'd have assumed Michaels.

Thats what my 2nd sentance suggests Then again I can't even remember the PPV name

[KK]

Triple H is even worse than the old Kevin Nash/Hulk Hogan regime for putting people over.

Lets take at look at the Pay Per Views over the last 2 years...

Royal Rumble (08): N/A
No Way Out (08): Triple H defeated Shawn Michaels, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Umaga, Chris Jericho, and Jeff Hardy.
WrestleMania 24: Randy Orton defeated Triple H and John Cena when he pinned John Cena to retain the WWE Title
Backlash (08): Triple H defeated Randy Orton, John Cena, and Bradshaw to win the WWE Title
Judgment Day (08): Triple H defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Title
One Night Stand (08): Triple H defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Title
Night of Champions: Triple H defeated John Cena to retain the WWE Title
The Great American Bash (08): Triple H defeated Edge to retain the WWE Title
Summerslam (08): Triple H defeated The Great Khali to retain the WWE Title
Unforgiven (08): Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, Brian Kendrick, Shelton Benjamin, and Montel Vontavious Porter to retain the WWE Title

Cyber Sunday (08): Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy to retain the WWE Title
Survivor Series (08): Edge defeated Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov when Edge pinned Kozlov to win the WWE Title
Armageddon (08): Jeff Hardy defeated Edge and Triple H when Jeff Hardy pinned Edge to win the WWE Title
Royal Rumble (09): N/A (For what it's worth, Randy Orton eliminated Triple H to win)
No Way Out (09): Triple H defeated Edge, The Undertaker, The Big Show, Jeff Hardy, and Vladimir Kozlov
WrestleMania 25: Triple H defeated Randy Orton
Backlash (09): Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) defeated Triple H, Batista and Shane McMahon when Randy Orton pinned Triple H to win the WWE Title. Triple H was stretchered out.
Judgment Day (09): N/A
WWE Extreme Rules: N/A
The Bash (09): Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a 3 stages of Hell match when Legacy interfered.
Night of Champions (09): Randy Orton defeated Triple H and John Cena to retain the WWE Title when Randy Orton pinned John Cena (following more interference from Legacy)
SummerSlam (09): Triple H and Shawn Michaels defeated Legacy
Breaking Point (09): Legacy defeated Triple H and Shawn Michaels when Michaels gave up
Hell in a Cell: Triple H and Shawn Michaels defeated Legacy

So the last time Triple H lost clean was at Backlash of this year at the hands of Orton's 'punt of doom'. Before that, strawberry float knows.

[PES Fan]

They really need to get rid of the brands.

If Orton or Cena win at Bragging rights, who challenges them for the Belt after that?

Triple H? God no. HBK? He won't win so theres no point. Not enough main eventers for 2 world title belts.

[Zellery]

When you see it all in black and white it looks absolutely terrible.

I like how he's poised level with Ric Flair's record currently.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's waiting til WM to break it.

[Cardinal Chunder]

If Cena wins then I'll fly to Connecticut and rip off McMahon's bollocks with my bare hands. He's bound to win though, DiBiase will come in and strawberry float over Orton...

The last time he actually lost a singles match clean was against Jeff at Armageddon in 2007 I believe, truly ridiculous.

[Rog]

GRAPL will be up tomorrow night guys.

[Corazon de Leon]

Do I have the same deadline as Zellery, Rog?

[Pontius Pilate]

Does Impact start at 1?

[Skippy]

GRAPL will be up tomorrow night guys.

When will the deadline be, I usually do mine rather quickly after you post them but I wont be home this weekend until Sunday evening. Definitely before the PPV, just not sure when.

Backstage footage from Raw Monday night:

11pm barring special circumstances like extremely low entry.

Deadpool: No your's is 11pm too. You didn't win last year.

[Ginga]

Balls, Utorrent is throwing a strop and I can't seem to get anything but silly speeds.

Does anyone have a MS link to BFG?

[Rog]

Bragging Rights is this Sunday so it's time for the GRAPL predictions. But first a recap of the rules. I suggest some of you read this as every question I was asked during the bonus round was already addressed in here. Never be afraid to ask a question but don't be a lazy sod either.

GRAPL is simple to play. The Friday before every WWE PPV this year I'll post up a prediction sheet. You enter your predictions and post the sheet. For every one you get right you earn points and points are tallied up on the leaderboard. If you are top of the leaderboard after Wrestlemania next year then you win!

Same as last year you can change your predictions as many times as you like up till the 11pm Sunday deadline. Anyone found to be editing posts after that will be disqualified from that PPV. Any changes to the PPV after I've posted the prediction form will be ignored and the predictions for that match will be null and void. You can enter as little PPV's as you like.

Now before the card. Seen as the card is smaller than usual because of the iron man taking up most of the show I've decided to make it a whopping 5 points. The card is piss poor for GRAPL with so few matches and most of them being tag.

Despite the decline in quality that the WWE's been through, you have to say no-one quite does a promo package like they do, I've just seen the one for Orton v Cena and it really builds the match up as a possible all time great (which of course it won't be), whoever in the company works on these deserves a pay rise or something.
