The Wrestling Thread

Knew Paige was going to return welcome home Saraya.

Seeing Pat MaCafee getting destroyed and put on a stretcher with Michael Cole going off and calling him a piece of trash was the highlight for me.

Bianca announcing she’s having a baby was great a moment congratulations Bianca and Montez Ford.

I thought all the matches were good thoroughly enjoyed night one.

He has to have a match against Miz would even make him win Money in The bank would be funny seeing Danhausen backstage with the briefcase and he curses anyone who tries to take it off him

You’re lucky not many peopler look in here… otherwise, people might start questioning your judgement.

I don’t watch wwe religiously anymore stopped doing that when the PG era started.

Best way to watch wwe these days imo is to just watch highlights or best bits from Raw and Smack Down and then the ples

All the effort to built Vaquer/Liv and we get that… the rest was as TV standard as expected, especially once we knew Drew and Jacob were going on espn. The WWE are on a baaad trajectory.

Not long till TKO sells WWE to Saudi

Sums up night 1 https://x.com/left2reigns/status/2045735255466987802?s=20

The crowd was dead

The US really does have the worst wrestling crowds.

Theyre too busy with their phones out. Why the Fck are you filming sht when everyone can watch it live on TV???

this is funny

I have not followed wwe for years. Suddenly, my 3 year old son loves it, watches religiously so now i am invested. Loves jey uso, i generally have a new bruise weekly from a uso splash once a week

Weird night 1

Anything involving YEET is always going to be good. Speed going off the top onto logan was iconic.

Gunt v rollins was great, deserved a clean finish. I dont understand what they are trying to do with gunt long term though

Stef v liv was terrible.

Rhodes v randy good. I thought orton would win though since turning heel

The bloodline has been teasing for a while, but my gut says the uso’s turn on roman tomorrow and punk retains.

i remember not seeing wm 2000 until i rented it from a video shop about nine months after the show happened because my family didn’t have austar, and even if we did i couldn’t afford the $40ish it would have cost to watch the ppv

today i’m watching it live for free through legitimate means

sure i’ll watch some ads

Romans teeth look ridiculous

Good main event, apart from the insane number of finisher kick outs

Roman/CM main event was good. Looks like Brock has retired?

So for Rhea v Jade they had some rich bloke who paid money to sit at the commentary table and not commentate.

Absolutely insane what WWE will do for money.

Also night 2 significantly better than night 1 but the matches need to be longer.

Fascinating what you can do when you’ve got 4 months to build a decent story, and 30 minute match to tell a story.

This 90% of the whole Wrestlemania card was put together a month ago. Not only are these wrestlers trying to build a feud in 2-3 weeks, they’ve also got 5-10 minutes in the ring.

WWE have got it in their heads, that people are paying $1000+ a ticket to see Entrances.

It is honestly a joke.

Punk and Reigns match was easily the best match of the whole PPV. For good reason.

ESPN arguably got the best hour (Brock retired by Oba, fun-even-if-inconsequential ladder match). The energy was very different to the other however-many hours.

Blow-off (?) matches continue to be determined by run-ins rather than the contest of the named participants.

I still can’t believe their hype videos had Reigns speaking out about old and part-time wrestlers taking over.


EDIT: Apparently Reigns has since said he will be full-time (at least for a while).

Was Lesnar’s retirement on-the fly / an audible… hence the cross-arms he gave Heyman?

Minihausens carrying The Miz :joy:

Miz vs Danhausen at Backlash please
