    Uhhhhh......the show has started.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Whoops. Didn't see the thread.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I'm definitely watching. They should be going a good half hour at least.

    It's OK, dude. No one else has seen it either, apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Man, crowd is like a bunch of deaf mutes compared to last night. Back to the usual, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Watching WM30 again as Cesaro wins the battle royal ... Has there ever been a time when somebody who was supposed to win a Royal Rumble or battle royal accidentally eliminated themselves? I'm thinking of that spot where you go over the top rope and grab on to keep yourself up; all it takes is for one hand to slip and you're out. Just wondering if that's ever happened, and how they improvised an ending.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Sheesh, this crowd is awful.

    ReplyDelete
  8. When ION stops carrying Main Event, will we need these "commercial breaks" on the network?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Pretty sure when Batista and Cena eliminated themselves at the Rumble it wasn't planned. Then Vince had to run out he blew his quads. Awesome shit.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think they'll have them until the international deal is done, if it ever is. I kinda wish they live version just showed straight through, though.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm not sure they are even needed now. They could just splice them in later. Plus it's only usually 1 30 second spot. Show typically ends a few minutes prior to 9.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I was just gonna ask if ION still carries Main Event because I really wanna see Shield v. Wyatts.

    ReplyDelete
  13. You can hear the girls screeching when Reigns hits a move. Ugh. Why can't every crowd be the after-Mania bunch?

    ReplyDelete
  14. This week will be the last one.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Just turned it on. Was Wyatts-Shield the opening match?

    ReplyDelete
  16. The post Rumble Cleveland crowd was better than this, though. And this is probably the opening match of the tapings, there's no reason they shouldn't be amped.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:16 PM

    Yes sir.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Gotta respect these guys (Cena, Ambrose) who allow the Wyatts (or any other opponent) to actually put their fingers in their nose and mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  19. "Ambrose suffered a tremendous amount of punishment during the commercial break."

    You mean during that 30 second Warrior DVD promo?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think someone slipped lithium into this crowd's soda supply.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ambrose playing the face in peril. And the crowd clapping to get him the momentum. Weird, huh?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:20 PM

    That's a wicked awesome move from Harper there.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Let's say the Wyatts add a new member between now and SummerSlam. Who should it be and how would you book it?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ambrose must have watched Mr T's HOF speech during the break.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:22 PM

    Bo Dallas. Simply put, he has trouble gathering Bo-Lievers, gets depressed and joins his brother.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Another question only the BoD can answer. Community's last episode, G.I. Jeff has been either loved or hated. It seems the argument is that if you're a kid of the 80s you'll love it, any younger you'll hate it. Was it over indulgent? Or just over awesome?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Completely different match than the others, but that heat segment on Ambrose was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I could watch these six wrestle every day.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I wanna see an Attitude era-style hardcore match between Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose

    ReplyDelete
  30. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:26 PM

    Business has just picked up for this match.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love this. Can he be the "family" member that just doesn't fit in? Like, he can't help smiling when they're doing a creepy promo? And when Bray is lashing out at society's failings he just asks Bray to lighten up and Bo-lieve in humanity?

    ReplyDelete
  32. "Fans.. this is a main event in any NXT arena from 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I found Waldo

    ReplyDelete
  34. Awesome...awesome...awesome. Not Elimination Chamber good, but still awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:28 PM

    Kudos for this one. ***1/2, maybe ****.

    ReplyDelete
  36. WWE structures a tag match better than any other promotion right now. I said it.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Does anybody know who's screwing Renee Young?? He has to be the luckiest dude in the world.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Conner O'Brien makes sense if they're not bring up the Ascension together.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:29 PM

    Ambrose makes me lose it sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  40. That's one helluva a sell-job.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Jeez Renee, leak on the mat why don't ya.

    ReplyDelete
  42. this is a cool improv promo, I love it

    ReplyDelete
  43. Roman Reigns makes my lady parts tingle.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hey, this Reigns guy has a shot.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:31 PM

    Fucking Reigns with the charisma. Shit, dude.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The Shield are fucking awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  47. They really need to let these guys talk more. No more found camera shots.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Rollins has really grown on the mic from where he was when they debuted

    ReplyDelete
  49. Beautiful and probably necessary. I can see the Bo-lieve movement die a fast death.

    ReplyDelete
  50. And people wanted this group to break up. :Shrug:

    ReplyDelete
  51. Dolph Ziggler vs Jack Swagger without Vicki in the corner.. What's the world coming to?

    ReplyDelete
  52. "Former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler"

    Surprised they remembered that happened.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Sheesh, I hope they give Swagger/Ziggler some time, too. This could be one of the best Main Event since it came back.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:33 PM

    They keep saying "war". How do you settle "wars" in professional wrestling?

    ReplyDelete
  55. I think they could use a smaller guy who can fly and take some bumps. Honestly, if WWE had actually pulled the trigger on breaking the Shield up, Rollins would have been perfect. He seems to have a little of that Jeff Hardy-ish impressionable youngster in him that could be swayed to the dark side by Bray.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think Adam could be the next coming of Jeff Hardy if he plays his cards right. Still think he needs a valet.

    ReplyDelete
  57. This gimmick is pretty cool. Too bad they give it to one of the worst wrestlers in WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  58. He gets more mic time than either guy because he may be the most reliable and consistent of the 3. He knows his lines and delivers them naturally.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:35 PM

    When you throw a party, you gotta have some little people.


    That's the truth, yo.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Aha so they're playing Daniel Bryan music after an Indian home run. I heard a few yes chants but Indians games draw about as well as a TNA House show.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't know why they don't have more valets. They have at least 7 or 8 divas on the roster who aren't doing anything. And there are certainly a few guys who could use valets/managers.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm sure there's more than 30 people at the Indians game...

    ReplyDelete
  63. Can we get these announcers on Raw asap? They are refreshingly different and so much better than Cole, JBL, and King. Although I'm sure it would be quite different with Vince McMahon and others in their ears the whole time.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Well yeah plus they're not at a school gymnasium.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:38 PM

    Apparently, this Wrestlemania video is a time filler.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Yup, I agree completely. Add in Regal and this team is a complete breath of fresh air.

    ReplyDelete
  67. And God forbid they have one of those total Divas chicks actually get some airtime.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Sitting through an Indians game in this weather, fuck that.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Have Layla do it.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Only problem is that you can't tell the difference between the two because their voices sound alike.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Sucks. Ziggler/Swagger could get really good if they gave it 15 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Ambrose's selling might have been a subtle jab at Billy Gunn.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Come to think of it.. I'd much rather see Adam Rose vs Fandango with Summer Rae and Layla thrown in.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I don't think I've gone to a non-opening day Indians game in April in 10 years.

    ReplyDelete
  75. That's more Blue Jays mid-season high numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Yeah, Regal would give them a bit of personality. But these two come across as legit sports announcers that you can take seriously (not the annoying kind like Verne and Gary).

    ReplyDelete
  77. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:40 PM

    That "We the People" has lost steam without Cesaro. Or again, maybe it's just this shitty crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Plus it looks like Layla's ring time is limited.

    ReplyDelete
  79. God forbid we have a match featuring the dozens of Superstars that are never shown on TV.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Maybe Summer could join up with Adam Rose now that they broke up her act with Fandango according to WWE.com

    ReplyDelete
  81. Just noticed that in the WWE Universe ad (where Bryan comes out to an empty crowd) there's a Umaga cameo.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm thinking the only thing we can hope for here is a Cesaro run-in. No way in hell Ziggler wins clean.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think Summer can be her own character and stay over. She was good in NXT in that role. I'm thinking women like Eva Marie, Alicia Fox, Rosa, etc., who just seem directionless right now.

    ReplyDelete
  84. They gotta stretch this Wyatt vs shield feud out another ppv, right? Now that shield ate full fledged faces, they can definitely get another ppv out of it

    ReplyDelete
  85. Rosa might actually fit into the Fandango dance partner role well but I don't think they should turn Summer face just yet since she is an excellent bitchy heel.

    ReplyDelete
  86. She should stay heel, I'm just saying she doesn't have to be tied to a man.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:47 PM

    Gonna have to reeeeeeally pipe in the crowd heat for Smackdown.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Meh. That was...okay.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Ziggler pissed off someone again... jobbing to Ryback and Swagger on consecutive nights. Shit. And his only hope lies with a teaming with Ryder and Miz (that's been teased on the app). He's screwed.

    ReplyDelete
  90. His contract's up in the summer...maybe he just decides to do Indy's and his Comedy stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Jeff Jarrett is looking for talent.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:50 PM

    anyone checking out the DBry WM journey thingamajob?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Sin cars went from a hot star to just a jobber in 2 years; what a fall

    ReplyDelete
  94. Rusev is going to murder poor Hunico...*shakes head*

    ReplyDelete
  95. This x 1 million book it

    ReplyDelete
  96. Anyone watch the HOF speeches? Trying to catch up but watching Raw.

    Anything noteworthy from the HoF?

    ReplyDelete
  97. No more special lighting for Sin Cara?

    ReplyDelete
  98. The chick is going to be more over than Rusev.

    ReplyDelete
  99. This podcast I'm listening to is saying that Lita subtly implied she was double teamed by Rey and Arn Anderson? !?! Wtf

    ReplyDelete
  100. Just realize that T, Lita, and Warrior go extremely long and Mr. T never once mentions wrestling. He does say the word "mother" about 140 times (I think someone counted) in an ode to her.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I dunno about that. Stretching for things there.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 6:56 PM

    Daniel Bryan and The Usos vs. Kane/Batista/Randy Orton on Smackdown. Can DBry make a really shitty crowd come to life? We're out of time!!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Not at all what happened there. Owing someone a beer is now code for sex?

    ReplyDelete
  104. He'd be a good southern style heel. That'd be cool.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm not sure the context really. It's a place 2 be pod and they said that's what she was implying. Does seem like a stretch

    ReplyDelete
  106. Sadly, for some guys, anything a woman says is code for sex.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Whoever is running that podcast is probbaly a date rapist.

    ReplyDelete
  108. By "people" you mean "creative" right? Cause I don't exactly remember fans clamoring for it.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I recall some people on here wanting a Shield breakup when they didn't seem to be going anywhere meaningful.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Is there going to be a general hang out thread posted or is this one it?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Jake will make you cry.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Man, I gotta say, the way a lot of wrestling fans, RIGHT HERE IN BOD CITY, talk about Lita is really a bummer. You missed an avalanche of unclever clap and slut jokes, on the one night where maybe, I dunno, just appreciate one of the most consistently entertaining female wrestling performers of the last 30 years? Bummed me out as a fan.


    Luckily, Jake's speech was so good (and Mania so awesome) that the sad feelings didn't have much of a shelf live. But still: go Lita. You took crazier bumps than just about anybody this side of Michaels or Hennig.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Not happening. Shield's joining the main even angle, and they'll be better off for it. That said, nothing's stopping them from circling them back around to the Wyatts in a few months.

    ReplyDelete
  114. So, our opinions here are pretty consistent with the rest of the internet, 50/50.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Just thought of a great game we can play. 6 degrees of separation for wrestlers.

    For example, super fly sunka and cm punk...

    1) snuka - HOF
    2) HOF - Lita
    3) Lita - CM punk

    ReplyDelete
  116. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 7:39 PM

    You can hang here or in the daily network thread, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a mind-blowing episode.

    ReplyDelete
  118. 1) Both jobbed to Taker @ Mania.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Ah. Well done

    ReplyDelete
  120. Also both faced Jericho @ Mania, come to think of it.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Well, 30 isn't on the network anymore, just the preshow.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Jake Robers and Kofi Kingston!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Jake Roberts - HOF
    HOF - Bob Orton
    Bob Orton - Randy Orton
    Randy Orton - Kofi

    ReplyDelete
  124. I got Roberts vs Undertaker at WM
    Undertaker vs CM Punk at WM.
    CM Punk tag team champion with Kofi Kingston.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Lol I just saw the little clip of Jon Stewart talking about the streak ending on the daily show. http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/318988/[VIDEO]-Jon-Stewart-Rants-About-the-Streak-Ending-on-The-Daily-Show.htm

    That's the link. If you haven't seen it, its only 30 seconds and really funny.

    ReplyDelete
  126. That works also.

    Or..

    Roberts banged Bossmans mother
    Kofi banged Bossmans mother

    ReplyDelete
  127. Probably adding edits or checkmarks for the seek bar.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Aside from was carried to a classic match by Bret Hart that will be the most common answer.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Watching that Daniel Bryan special and something occurred to me--Sheamus would make a hell of a main event opponent for a B-level PPV. There's a natural history there with Bryan and Sheamus is really better as a heel or tweener. Sheamus could claim to have Bryan's number or "should have ended you while I had the chance."

    ReplyDelete
  130. 1) Both jobbed to the RKO.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Um...no? Dafuq podcast are you listening to?

    ReplyDelete
  132. Tanashi and Bruno Sammartino.

    ReplyDelete
  133. P2b wrestlemania recap

    ReplyDelete
  134. And Bryan got arguably Sheamus' best ever match out of him at Extreme Rules two years ago. I'm in favor of it.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Tanashi wrestled Bryan
    Bryan wrestled HHH
    HHH wrestled Hogan
    Hogan wrestled sheik
    Shield wrestled bruno

    ReplyDelete
  136. I'd replace Kane with Sheamus in the Authory vs Bryan/Shield business.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Nice. Best I could do was:


    1) Tanahashi beat Muto
    2) Muto vs. Flair
    3) Flair vs. Savage (or Piper)
    4) Savage (or PIper) vs. Sammartino

    ReplyDelete
  138. Draft day??????!!!!???? Holy shit, I thought that was a parody when I first saw it. This is a real movie! This could be the worst theater released movie in my lifetime.

    ReplyDelete
  139. The one thing that struck me the most about mania is that it really did feel like the end of an era.

    With Taker losing and Hogan/austin/Rock toasting to essentially put a bow in that era, it just feels like a new era now

    ReplyDelete
  140. I'd love to see that.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Or just add Sheamus and do 5 man teams with, like, Ziggler on the face team. Or Punk, if you can get him.

    ReplyDelete
  142. In fairness.. this Sin Cara is the understudy.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Gorgeous George to John Cena?

    Gg jobs to a up and coming Bruno
    Bruno works a comeback tour against savage
    Savage vs warrior is a wm classic
    Warrior squashes hhh at wm12
    Hhh jobs to cena at wm22

    ReplyDelete
  144. LOL, that is awesome. "No one else? Just me?"

    ReplyDelete
  145. I emailed Scott about this and he already posted it, but it actually went a lot further than that. Trips jobbed clean, Show lost a match that massively favored him, Outlaws and Kane got squashed, and both Shawn and Mick were on the pre-show in suits.


    Throw in Taker, Rock, and Austin, and that's 10 of the biggest 15 stars of the Attitude Era (along with Angle, Jericho, Chyna, and maybe Rikishi and X-Pac).

    ReplyDelete
  146. Buck Zumhofe to Chris Benoit

    Easy
    Zumhofe is the job guy for hhh in his WWF debut
    Benoit jobs to HHH within days of his WWF debut as wcw world champion

    ReplyDelete
  147. Yea, the Austin/rock/Hogan segment just seemed like a bow on that entire era. I do wonder if they're gonna shift to less part time guys during mania. They'll still have Brock amd hhh but no Taker (presumably), amd probably no more guys like Austin, rock, Jericho, etc. Well see

    ReplyDelete
  148. I bet we get one more Jericho run. Shit I think Jericho doinga few jobs to the new champ could be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I'm not expecting, but wouldn't be shocked by, Austin vs. Punk as next year's headliner, but otherwise I mostly agree. I think there'll always be a few part timers (Brock, plus probably Sting and eventually Jericho and/or Punk), but I think they've learned not to book the whole product around them.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Oh man jennelles bf got his 3rd DUI!

    ReplyDelete
  151. I could see that. I could see punk doing a part time run also

    ReplyDelete
  152. Punk will be back for sure, probably not even as a part time guy. Just making more cash

    ReplyDelete
  153. GG jobs to Bruno
    Bruno vs. Piper
    Piper vs. Hart
    Hart teams with Cena


    Can't do it faster than you without using tag team partners or Piper's Pit segments (if you use the Pit, you can get it down to 3), though.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Posted this in another thread, but AWESOME idea.

    What if after Brocks contract is over, they let Brock work an UT like deal.and only wrestle WMs and they built a Brock streak?!

    ReplyDelete
  155. As long as Rosa loses the stupid Marilyn Monroe look

    ReplyDelete
  156. One thing it has going for it is that they're using real NFL teams. I hate football movies that are supposed to be the pros, but it's the Philadelphia Freedom Fighters vs the New York Doberman Pincher Genitalias.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Or the Miami Sharks. Yeah I hate that too. But that looks like it could literally be the only thing this movie has going for it

    ReplyDelete
  158. THE CHALLENGE: FREE AGENTS

    FUCK THE WORLD

    ReplyDelete
  159. She has been atop my fap bank for years... I think that is a compliment.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Too tattoey for my tastes. Seems like one of those old timey biker whores.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Like doubled down or back to back?

    ReplyDelete
  162. He has like 30 valets.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Her snatch is so good that having it taken away has driven Matt Hardy insane.

    ReplyDelete
  164. No it's probably because he misses her companionship and deep conversation.

    #ItsWhatsInsideThatCounts

    ReplyDelete
  165. I think he would agree that it is what's inside that counts!

    #IfYaKnoeWutIMean

    ReplyDelete
  166. Oh Jenelle ur so stupid

    ReplyDelete
  167. Who is Jenelle? Seems like a fat girl name

    ReplyDelete
  168. Jenelles bf told her to get an abortion after he talked her into pregnant.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Man she was kind of hot but her retardedness is a real cock softner. I'm talking, of course, about teen mom Jenelle evans

    ReplyDelete
  170. Stranger in the AlpsApril 8, 2014 at 8:53 PM

    I'm incorporating that into my ECW reviews.

    ReplyDelete
  171. http://d1mxyp5ceukbya.cloudfront.net/images/jenelle-evans-nude-photo-scandal-twitter.jpg

    ReplyDelete
  172. She's complete and absolute garbage

    ReplyDelete
  173. I'm a Browns fan and I think this movie is going to be terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  174. I'm watching teen mom 3 with my girlfriend. Good quality time

    ReplyDelete
  175. I'm just like they canceled keshas my crazy life. I can get out of this 30 minutes earlier now

    ReplyDelete
  176. Jobber's in his own fucking universe here.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Just the red carpet, and possibly editing Jake and T's speech.

    ReplyDelete
  178. 1. Snuka - Undertaker (WM7)
    2. Undertaker -Punk (Wm29)

    ReplyDelete
  179. Doesn't help that Kevin Costner is overrated, assuming he was ever rated at all. I never saw his appeal.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Nah, I think I read somewhere that she's single.
