Pro Wrestling is FAKE!?!

[DoDaFoo]

Angle gets Corbin for his big Wrestlemania retirement match. What the actual fuck? That's awful. And apparently that really is their plan. Angle vs Corbin. No Angle vs Cena or even Angle vs Benjamin. Fucking Baron Corbin. Fuck.

[snake911]

I dont think there is anyway it stays Angle vs Corbin. This is just to build animosity so when it changes people get excited.

[TypicalBilly14]

for those of you going to Mania, can you please provide the 411 on:

when lots open?

what are the prices for lots? $40?

what time do the front doors open to get into Mania? 2pm? 3pm? 4pm?

any specific recommendations on where to park and the best route to leave? Coming from CT.

Thanks all!

[Roose13]

$40 to park? Fuck North Jersey

Congrats to Becky, Charlotte and Ronda for being the first women to main event WrestleMania.

It should be Kofi/Bryan, but whatever.

[TypicalBilly14]

John Cena going to Mania but not against Angle. Apparently the Bret Hart vs. Tom Magee Holy Grail VHS tape was found!

Webzzz is blowing up yo! 1 week to NJPW at MSG. Okadaaa vs. Jay White!

Koji Kitao please rest in peace. Linda McMahon has resigned.

It's Mania season yo! Where is everyone?

[bartender_man]

I really hope Becky/Kofi/Seth don't all win. That'd suck because of being so predictable. Hoping for a big swerve in one of them.

*The Angle/Corbin match is ridiculous. How disrespectful
*Cena V Ellias rumors---really? Cena buries him, great....
*Really looking forward to AJ/Orton
*Strowman buried as well? Christ Vince....
*Asuka in the battle royal

I havn't been less excited about a Wrestlemania in years. The triple threat being the main event over Kofi/Bryan (their hottest story by far) is a joke.

I think a part of it is the strategy with Ronda/Women in general in the main event, it will generate the most media buzz.

[Roose13]

I don't think Kofi will win if Seth wins. But if Brock retains vs. Seth, then I am convinced Kofi beats Bryan.

I also think it's safe to say Becky going over Ronda is pretty much a forgone conclusion. It's the right story to tell.

[BotheLaneFan]

Kofi/Seth/Becky should all win.

[snake911]

I understand that they want/need to have the historical "first womens match to headline wrestlemania", and I get that they need to do it with Ronda, but Kofi standing on the turnbuckle holding the belt with confetti raining down on him is the correct way for this Mania to go off-air.

[Roose13]

Four Horsewomen holding all four titles > than Kofi with the title, and it's not even close. Kofi winning would be cool and all, but dude hasn't been a singles wrestler in four years, and in two months he's going for the top title. That's not THE moment of Mania. It's awesome, and I'd be so happy for him. But the women getting the iconic closing shot is what has to be done.

New Day has been bigger than any of the Four Horsewomen though.

As an act, not an individual. More casual people know who Rousy and Flair's daughter than a few video game nerds and a guy who used to be Jamaican.

Such a joke to have the main event be a match they've been building since last fall as opposed to one that sprung up in the last 6 weeks...


I love Kofi and Bryan, but the women deserve this main event.

[TypicalBilly14]

It's the go home for Raw, where is everyone? Two years ago this thread would've been buzzing. The women/cops/backstage stuff was pretty good.

[hbktonyb]

The women should be the main event. Becky has been just as hot an act as Kofi, only for months longer.

Kofi/Bryan has been an incredible build, and should be the 2nd biggest match on the card.

This thread was rockin' and rollin' when I was on here dropping knowledge everyday.

For me personally, the format of WWE's television shows became stale and the product as a whole was bloated. I think the last I checked there was somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-7 hours of programming a week among Raw, Smackdown, 305 Live, & NXT.

I check in every now and again when I'm flipping, but it rarely keeps my attention for long.

I find myself watching NJPW on Axs more often than WWE, but even that isn't a huge chunk of time. My TV watching has also gone down in general.

From what I've gathered in here Orton is a midcarder, Cena a part-timer, and Bryan is back in the ring in the main event? How quickly times change.

Also, what happened with Ambrose? I was watching some YouTube video of Heyman and he referenced a stone cold podcast where Ambrose bombed and Austin was pissed? Maybe this is way old news, but I see Rollins brought up in here way more than Dean.

[TypicalBilly14]

Luke warm response to the Kevin Owens show.

[hbktonyb]

Another incredible promo by Bryan.

[DoDaFoo]

WWE just put an awesome video on YouTube about Ciampa's surgery and family. Highly recommend watching it.

Agree with most of those, just really hope Rollins takes the title from Lesnar. He's a pointless champion. I don't even remember the last time he defended it. Was it against Balor at Rumble? I remember that and his match with Bryan at Survivor Series. Are those the only 2 things he's done since winning the title?

I really want Rollins to win too. But my gut just says they want Reigns to retake the title from Lesnar.

Lesnar's last defense was Balor at Rumble. And yup, those are his last two matches.

[DoDaFoo]

I'm fine with Lesnar as a special attraction for big PPVs, I'm just so tired of having a RAW champion that is barely part of the show.

Something tells me Seth won't win.....


No way in blue hell Vince gives us a Becky, Kofi and Seth win on the same night. Something has to give. And i think its Seth. Brock gets boo'd out the building and they finish it off with a Becky win to send the crowd home happy.
