Wrestlemania The Thread

Hopefully Disqus won't crash. I'll try to have a rant up sometime before RAW. So don't bug me about it tonight. Enjoy the show!

Comments

  1. Surely today and tomorrow's threads will crash the blog. To whet the appetite, here's Rosenberg's Youtube coverage of Mania.

  2. Well, even though I'm doing this "blind" (no PPV, no stream, nothing at all), it's WM after all. Might as well help it "crash". ;)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hell yeah this is going to be a great show' I'm even excited for the miz match

    ReplyDelete
  4. This thread's easily going to break 1,000 posts, right?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I bet it'll be close to 2,000.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Easily, and almost a third of them will be people enjoying it.

    ReplyDelete
  7. So excited. The one night I'm cocky about being a wrestling fan. Well, since about 2002

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm predicting the hhh match will be the best one. I know the last one sucked but still...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Bold prediction: no match breaks ****

    ReplyDelete
  10. If we're doing a WM Posts mini-contest, put me down for 1850.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'll go with 1912.

    ReplyDelete
  12. What's the link to the miz match? Just on YouTube?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I just hope Cody and sandow don't job

    ReplyDelete
  14. When given the choice between splitting the cost of the pay per view to watch on a 60" LCD screen or staying at home and getting yelled at for having two burgers instead of one by my wife, I chose getting yelled at. Am I whipped, or does this show just feel like it's gonna suck?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Predictions: Fandango steals the show, with his entrance and his match with Jericho. Triple H costs The Rock the match kicking off the "Mr. McMahon" era of his career and it leads to HHH/Rock at Summerslam.

    ReplyDelete
  16. 3000 or man the fuck up.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Kofi and big dust breaking it down!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I hope the flying leg drop isn't his finisher. It looks awful and is going to fuck his spine up.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Scream09_HartKillerApril 7, 2013 at 4:19 PM

    I'm going to be watching the Capitals game (Ovechkin's on fire) but I'll throw on a stream now and then if it sounds like something good is happening.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Who's this other jerk off?

    ReplyDelete
  21. 3250 or shut the fuck up.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I honestly don't get the appeal of buying replica belts.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Dafuq? Snooki cameo in 2013?

    ReplyDelete
  24. All these fatso wrestling fans are making me feel guilty about eating this Phil's BBQ take out

    ReplyDelete
  25. 3300 or sit the fuck down.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Fandango steals the show with his entrance, but I see Jericho winning with a cheap roll-up or something.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Fandango makes fans of the IWC tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  28. SNOOKI IS TWEETING ABOUT WRESTLEMANIA! BUYRATE RECORD=SMASHED!

    ReplyDelete
  29. 3301 or I have nothing clever.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah, but here's the link for anyone who hasn't found it:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDjsaolVLSQ

    ReplyDelete
  31. Jersey shore still a thing?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Scream09_HartKillerApril 7, 2013 at 4:21 PM

    If I were a kid I'd love one. As an adult, maybe to display it. Although most of the people I've seen with them are adult who were wearing them.

    ReplyDelete
  33. They won't. They wouldn't job the Bellas so soon after coming back, because somebody has a hard-on for them.


    (Besides my literal one, of course.)

    ReplyDelete
  34. 3302 or ARM-bar.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What if mizs match goes over 39 minutes?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Impossible. Miz would need to be carted out of the arena if they went past 20.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I just had a four egg sandwich with ham and cheese on half a loaf of garlic bread.

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's the opening match. The point is to hype the crowd, not put them to sleep.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Little Caesar's, brah. But I did an hour of cardio this morning so I'm good.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Scream09_HartKillerApril 7, 2013 at 4:24 PM

    There was no reason for Ryback to do that to Santino. I hope he loses.

    ReplyDelete
  41. All I ask is that this show not be boring and predictable and that the stream doesn't suck.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Mostly that last part really.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Santino should only be used as an attack weapon from this point forward.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mark Henry glistens.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Rosenberg actually has a bunch of sit down interviews on his Youtube page from this week. The most shockingly entertaining one? Brodus Clay.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I do like this pre-game set up with Sanford, JR, Kofi, & Dusty. Makes it feel like a real sporting event.

    ReplyDelete
  47. New feature in WWE 14: Santino on a Pole match. First one to pull him down can use him as a weapon legally.

    ReplyDelete
  48. By the way, where are the fucking tuxedos?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Scream09_HartKillerApril 7, 2013 at 4:26 PM

    And ENTERTAINMENT sporting event. That's even better.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Fuck that, where are the togas?!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I just want to jam pencils into both of my ear canals when I hear Stephanie or Cena... is this normal? I don't think this is normal.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Stephanie McMahon doesn't know how to smile. I think this is definite proof she is a robot. Randy Savage was the one who created her.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Agreed. I miss the old round table discussion that happened before RAW was a show. Maybe a complete overhaul of the show is needed to present it more like a sport.

    ReplyDelete
  54. A complete overhaul is needed, period. RAW is presented the same way it was back in 1997.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I've watched TV all day so far but its a wrestling holiday so ...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Great punk taker video package

    ReplyDelete
  57. Today's my reverse-cheat day. I'm having grilled romaine heads.

    ReplyDelete
  58. "The soul of the soulless?"


    Can't fault JR for trying.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Woo-hoo! Mania day!


    I'm in Maui on the last day of my Honeymoon, streaming this in a Starbucks with my new wife indulging my obsession. Life is good!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Christ. They have almost as much commentators, interviewers, and personalities as they do actual wrestlers.

    ReplyDelete
  61. This is awesome, congrats on both counts!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Still doesn't top "Carcinogenic right hands!" from last year.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Won't lie. The Tout thing is kind of cool in the sense that people can say they were "on" Mania's broadcast.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Omg watching wrestling fans makes me uncomfortable

    ReplyDelete
  65. Who's jerking the curtain tonight? Team Funk vs. Team Smarts?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Bryan Alvarez just tweeted it's raining. Uh oh.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'd guess Jericho.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Del Rio vs Swagger. WHC match on first has become a WM tradition.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Could be a cool visual if it's pouring rain when/if Cena turns.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Then they should have come up with something better than Miz/Barrett.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Del Rio-Swagger. Gotta save the 8-person for the "main event cooldown" spot.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I would have given it a shot to break that trend until Swagger got himself busted.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Fat guy from 30 rock, ugly chick that used to be on ESPN and the one unfunny guy from Opie and Anthony...nice celeb line up!!

    ReplyDelete
  74. ESPN: Rachel Nichols?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Jimmy's supposed to be there...where the fuck was he damnit

    ReplyDelete
  76. Henry predicts Ryback will be gasping for air tonight? Where could I put money on that bet?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Will be so disappointed if Shield loses tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  78. And yet it's still a better celebrity lineup that some of the past Wrestlemanias.


    I'm looking at YOU, Wrestlemania XI!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Jimmys there?!?! Wowza, tomorrows o&a> tomorrows raw

    ReplyDelete
  80. Dusty's got a soft spot for the guy whose chief goal is to be fed more.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Was that the one where Diesel danced with the kid from Home Improvement? My mind has blocked most of that era out.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Wait...wasn't that the one Pam and JTT were at? There were mega-stars at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Remember when Kofi Kingston mattered?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Rachel Nichols is hot IMO, I meant the one from sports nation

    ReplyDelete
  85. My only question is why aren't Dusty and JR the main commentating team???

    ReplyDelete
  86. Dude.....THIS. And Sam's been AAAAAALLLL OVER this weekend, whole show = this.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Omg lol good call

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oh yeah, Damnit, she's on NBC Sports now IIRC... Or was it her replacement


    BEADLE! Michelle Beadle's who I'm thinking of. Although she's not THAT bad looking...

    ReplyDelete
  89. Pre shows don't get inflatable letters I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Wow. 20 minutes to the show and we are already topping 100 posts

    ReplyDelete
  91. Miz is getting booed out of the building, that's awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I refuse to hit reload. If it dies, it dies.

    ReplyDelete
  93. JTT, Pam, and Nicholas Tuturo don't look so good in retrospect.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I think we can all admit we're kind of nerd-raging with anticipation atm.

    ReplyDelete
  95. On a side note, I miss having "time limits" on matches. Like, say this Miz/Barrett match doesn't have one since none was announced. They could conceivably go 30 minutes and F up the whole PPV. Little things, man...

    ReplyDelete
  96. WM2? Other than maybe Elvira, that's a load of FAIL.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Nice little opening sequence

    ReplyDelete
  98. It seems so long ago

    ReplyDelete
  99. This reminds me of a couple years back, where they realized they forgot to put Kofi on the card, so they did a quick Khali injury angle at Axxess to shoehorn Kofi into the 8-man tag. This year, they didn't even bother doing that. Kofi might as well just ask for his release, because they clearly stopped giving a shit about him.

    ReplyDelete
  100. So no cash-in for Ziggy?

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'm just gonna go full mark mode and cheer Barrett like its a real fight

    ReplyDelete
  102. Talk about an anticlimactic ending

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'm live at the show! It's pouring rain!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Was that like 5 minutes long on an hour long pre-show?

    ReplyDelete
  105. If you're going to use the Figure Four, and have it bestowed upon you by one of the greatest ever... you'd better at least work the leg during a match.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Sooooooooo... I haven't watched anything by the WWE since the Royal Rumble...
    Fucking live thread, Only reason I'm watching this is cause I don't wanna miss the party

    ReplyDelete
  107. The streak... continues.

    ReplyDelete
  108. If it really is starting to pour rain, what's the over/under on injuries tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  109. |YES I SO CALLED THAT

    ReplyDelete
  110. He was totally humping barret's leg

    ReplyDelete
  111. Shouldn't be bad, they have a cover for the ring yeah?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Wince's famous WM3 weather "magic" seems to be FAIL tonight,

    ReplyDelete
  113. Sad to see the ic belt fall this low. Glad hennig isn't alive to see this

    ReplyDelete
  114. Miz: The Chihuahua of the WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Stop talking about Ric Flair and associating him with The Miz! Hasn't the poor guy suffered enough?

    ReplyDelete
  116. Who won the pre-show match?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Appears that there is some drizzle.

    https://twitter.com/arda_ocal/status/321030800625778688/photo/1

    ReplyDelete
  118. It stopped, but we're all

    ReplyDelete
  119. We need subtitles for Dusty Rhodes

    ReplyDelete
  120. Worst_in_the_WorldApril 7, 2013 at 4:51 PM

    At the show. About to start. This is awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  121. The good: Miz can now be a "job bitch".

    ReplyDelete
  122. i'm here, too! This atmosphere is unbelievable!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Good point, that will probably be his last win for quite a while.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Do you want to do a run-in? Yeah, I think it's time for a run-in. (tm E&C)

    ReplyDelete
  125. "YOU were responsible for my collapse..."


    ...the same collapse that led to main-eventing 10 out of 12 of 2012's PPV's.

    ReplyDelete
  126. That's the WWE, never letting facts get in the way of a good story

    ReplyDelete
  127. Love Alvarez pointing out that it started raining as soon as Miz's match started.

    ReplyDelete
  128. In my apartment the atmosphere is getting smokey

    ReplyDelete
  129. That band, Civil Twilight, is a pretty good fit for this video package and one or two in the past. They remind me of VAST

    ReplyDelete
  130. Sitting in the garage pre-funking while the kids watch the pre-show upstairs lol, I vow to be murphy-drunk by the close of the show

    ReplyDelete
  131. This set is incredible! The Statue of Liberty is near life size!

    ReplyDelete
  132. Upvoted for the coinage of the phrase "murphy-drunk."

    ReplyDelete
  133. I'm only a few beers in. I'll be there by shows end.


    Let the drunkfest begin!

    ReplyDelete
  134. Awesome, the BOD talkback. cooler of beer by my side. wrestlemania. Can't get any better than this

    ReplyDelete
  135. AND HERE WE GO

    ReplyDelete
  136. I generally anticipate the opening promo as much as the main event.

    ReplyDelete
  137. And here we...go /joker

    ReplyDelete
  138. We had the same thought.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Awesome. Viking Space Lord Brock Lesnar opening promo!

    ReplyDelete
  140. And we start with some self-fellating. Vince comes to NY to save the day! lol.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Not on HIS watch, Sandy!

    ReplyDelete
  142. Smackdown saved America on 9/11

    ReplyDelete
  143. Not to sound like an ass but did anyone even die during Superstorm Sandy? This video package make it seems like mankinds darkest hour.

    ReplyDelete
  144. 285. You're an ass.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Romney's chances of winning....?

    ReplyDelete
  146. I hope she knew what she was getting into.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Scott where is the WM29 review?

    ReplyDelete
  148. Nothing makes me feel more America than wrestling. I'm not even sure if I'm joking.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I was right there until I heard "I'm Governor Chris Christie..." I put the hate away after that.

    ReplyDelete
  150. If Zeb and Swagger don't do a run in on God Bless America, I've lost all faith in Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Shouldn't you be on Scotsman?

    ReplyDelete
  152. Fwiw I had miz Barrett at 1.75 stars

    ReplyDelete
  153. These WM opening promos are the one constant amazing thing in WWE every year.

    ReplyDelete
  154. That happened already? Who won?

    ReplyDelete
  155. This is a good one.

    ReplyDelete
  156. It's hard to fuck up up making WM seem important.

    ReplyDelete
  157. No matter how bad WWE gets, their video promos will always be God-tier

    ReplyDelete
  158. Victor Rodriguez JrApril 7, 2013 at 5:06 PM

    Felt like they didnt have enough time to even get rating

    ReplyDelete
  159. No, any match with Miz has the fans losing in my book.

    ReplyDelete
  160. If I was in the mood to watch and rate, it'd have gotten a tray of Kamikazes.


    As in how much I'd need to drink to put the image of Mike "Nature Boy" Mizanin out of my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  161. All complaining about the card is moot now. It's Mania time and I'd be stoked for a Santino-Bellas handicap match!

    ReplyDelete
  162. He asked who won.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Will Finlay get fired again?

    ReplyDelete
  164. Interesting opener choice

    ReplyDelete
  165. Mix it was in the preshow, short with a dumb finish

    ReplyDelete
  166. The great white curtain jerker.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Oh, seriously? The Shield are jerking the curtain???

    ReplyDelete
  168. Gah the official wwe stream crashed =x_x=

    ReplyDelete
  169. World Heavyweight Title not curtain jerking? Interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  170. If only their writing staff had half the quality of their production staff. Agreed. (Though a lot of their other video packages can be pretty damn amazing as well - the Macho Man tribute video was one of my favorites, and of course, a lot of the HOF ones...)

    ReplyDelete
  171. Fuck, Shield's losing.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Good spot for this match. If they can turn this into a 15-minute wild brawl it will set a nice tone.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Well ive already lost 5quid, i was certain the tag match would open. Shield to start...this should be good.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Wo What a opener' this could be a great match

    ReplyDelete
  175. I like the thinking. Want to get that big opening pop? Shield.

    ReplyDelete
  176. You gotta be kidding me. The ppv stream just crapped out. And this is the WWE official one.

    ReplyDelete
  177. I like the set they're using.

    ReplyDelete
  178. It's too bad Jeff Hardy is in TNA, you know he'd take a bump off that bridge.

    ReplyDelete
  179. No, Im already on your mom

    ReplyDelete
  180. You can bet on what order the matches are in?

    ReplyDelete
  181. Hope you like video packages because we got video packages.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Yeah, but just like last year's set, it has columns barring the view for a bunch of people that paid big $$.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Didn't see that coming at all. I just hope it's given proper time.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Orton's popularity still amazes me. If they run with him vs. Cena, Cena will get booed out of every arena...which isn't much different than what happens now but still the guy can't get a favorable matchup.

    ReplyDelete
  185. JBL in the booth - I'm a happy man
