The Big WWE Wrestling Thread

[Steedie]

Hey guys

Some might argue the sports forum is the wrong place for this, and it's more suited for Music and Box Office, but it's on Sky Sports so thats good enough for me

So who's watching this then?

I can't wait myself, I was a bit sceptical about paying for it after paying for the Royal Rumble and it turned out to be utter poo, but this definitely looks like it's going to be a lot better

Some really good matches

Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship:
Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Championship:
Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker

Money in the Bank ladder match:
Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison

No Disqualification matches:
Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. The Big Show
Umaga vs. Batista
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
If Flair loses the match, he must retire from wrestling.

Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack match:
Maria and Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix and Melina

Belfast Brawl:
Finlay vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

Pre-show: 24-man Interpromotional Battle Royal

The winner will face Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Championship later that night.

ECW Championship:
Chavo Guerrero vs. TBD

I can see Cena winning his title back and having it for a very long stint again. Also I think Flair will finally get retired tonight, seems a fitting end to his career after being inducted into the hall of fame and being at the biggest Wrestlemania ever.

Also, big talking point, Mayweathers match, seriously wtf as this. I hate the guy, but can't see them making him lose or he'll be a bigger laughing stock than he already is for doing it

Starts at midnight on Box Office and Box Office HD, first Wrestlemania in HD, can't wait

 

[Steedie]

As opposed to it all being a staged managed theatrical event you mean!

Why do people watch this dross!

Why do people watch anything?

Its entertainment

I could question the purpose of 90% of the stuff on tv these days, but different people like different things

 

[Steedie]

£15? <Insert Laughing Smiley>

Is a tad bit expensive but unfortunatley Sky is the only place to watch it so don't really have a choice

 

[Steedie]

Wrong forum

Unfortunatley I ruined that joke for you by mentioning it in the OP

:/

 

[Steedie]

Good idea, can a mod add that please if passing by

 

[Steedie]

I hope JR and Jerry Lawler are commentating all the way through tonight. Hate the new main event commentry system as of late. Each match has different commentators depending on the brand

JR is great too, something quite funny about how excited he gets

"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY HE'S JUST BROKEN HIM IN HALF"

My personal favourite

"He's just whipped him like a government mule"

 

[Steedie]

If you wanna know who wins search google for the script, there usually leaked onto the net a few days beffor the event.

Ahhh the temptation is there now!

Git! lol

I'm going to resist though as it's not as fun otherwise

 

[Steedie]

Anyone else find it quite moving when Ric Flair asked Michaels to give him the Sweet Chin Music, Shawn really didn't want to and said "I'm sorry" as he knew he'd retired him

Excellent event, best Wrestlemania for a while, only dissapointment was Orton retaining the title

 

[Steedie]

Loved the Ric Flair goodbye on Raw, really started to well up when everyone was crying, especially when his family came out

A true legend

Thanks for the memories Ric

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Steedie]

I was thinking of getting this thread renamed to the WWE thread so we can talk about all the events and shows

So if a mod passed by, could they do that pretty please

But yeah looking forward to Backlash, Big Show vs Khali match should be good

 

[Steedie]

Great win for Triple H last night

 

[Steedie]

Anyone watch Smackdown?

'Taker stripped of his title for the use of that choke hold, what a joke

Means Edge will have another long run with the title now

 

[Steedie]

Nope Undertaker will be champ for a while yet, he was promised it after getting injured last time. Its just to get more heat on Edge. For spoilers this is the promotional poster for Night of Champions (aka Vengeance)

Oh where did you find that poster

Thats a bit stupid releasing it this early isnt it

So Orton and MVP win their titles back?

Poo

 

[Steedie]

Bit wierd them charging for Judgement Day though

Usually it's only the main ones they charge for, Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summer Slam and Survivor Series

 

[Steedie]

Orton's new music is terrible, is old one was great and really suited his character. Hardy was back too on Raw which was great, wonder if he's gonna be a mid carder for life now after his second violation of the wellness policy.

Whats the wellness policy?

And how did he violate it?

 

[Steedie]

Wondered why I hadn't seen him, any idea what the substance was?

I'm surprised I must say, wouldn't expect a guy like him to take stuff like that, not like hes a big guy lol

 

[Steedie]

Watched the RAW 15th anniversary show this morning

So many good memories, mostly involving Stone Cold, those were the days lol

 

[Steedie]

Really?

I didnt watch it as the order didnt clear for some reason, checked the results first thing on WWE.com and noticed that the Henry match wasn't there

Any more news?

 

[Steedie]

Where did you hear these rumours by the way? Any linkage?
