I like Matthew's card.

Just caught the Roman promo from Smackdown on youtube, can't embed due to their video settings, but...

https://youtu.be/57wJqRSRpAk?t=1m56s

He's gonna eat at catering every week, HHH! You're fucked!

Dear Lord, the monkeys have done a tremendous job at altering the crowd reaction.

He really needs something better than "believe that". Sounds so dumb.

If he would have left it at "Because.I.Can." it would sound better.

Listening to #kinglawler on #talkisjericho rite now. Lawler can't do anything but be interesting... (obviously only when it doesn't have to do with wrestling commentating). Very fascinating interview and barely talks about wrestling.

Randomly watching the Kevin Steen show with Matt Hardy and he was talking about how he does talk to Edge now and again. Made me happy for some reason.

Some details regarding the Hogan-Gawker case that went in Hogan's favor and Gawker hoping to use the now unsealed files if they have enough money for the appeal.

Update to plans regarding Bray Wyatt's current injury.

Biggest take-away is the injury crisis being bad enough the WWE dropped the amount of guys needed for the battle royale match. Last two Andre battle royales were 30-man matches.

Some more details on the rumored growing rift between Vince's side and Triple H's side backstage.

From a recent Stone Cold podcast regarding the HHH-Ambrose WWE title match at Roadblock and how Ambrose managed to elevate in status even with the loss.


Some other sheet news includes:

• In a LOLTNA moment, a recent tweet by Dixie Carter meant to congratulate Sting's wrestling career ended up congratulating a random Japanese guy instead due to Dixie not noticing the @ handles being different. Also hasn't bothered to actually update the tweet so the wrong guy is still being honored. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc..._about_stings/
• Karl Anderson recently teased on Twitter about his NXT debut occurring very soon. https://twitter.com/Machinegunka/sta...64840080891904
• In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, Drew Galloway ended up being the first ever guy to successfully win the TNA title from a Feast or Fired cash-in. Also ended up being the first ever Scottish-born TNA champion in TNA history. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc..._first_man_to/
• WWE currently holding a Best Ever Faction tournament on their website with fans to determine who wins each matchup. http://www.wwe.com/article/decide-gr...1&sf22732055=1

Ended up enjoying the Edge and Christian show bracket of suckitude. Not sure if it improved or their target market is drunk people.

I think the first episode was were they got rid of most of the worst skits. Subsequent episodes have been great.

I watched all of them bar the last two which I'm catching up on since I'm awake this close to F1 qualifying. Other ones had their moments (shockmaster), but this episode is the first one that I would say had no misses. Think a lot of that had to do with E&C taking Stardust along to interact with kids. Seems unscripted.

"I'm not trying to sway your votes, but I had to put Gillberg over once"

Also, doing Mantaurs pose just reminds me of his Finn Balor entrance on Botchamania

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SceR7uTGcxo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also, this episode had the best explanation and promo for Stardust than any TV ever did, which is weird.

Also slightly embarassed I got Glacier within a second on the Chumpstain Challenge

Haven't seen the latest one but might do that while waiting myself for quali. The new rules will be a real train wreck for most :D

THERE MIGHT EVEN BE RAIN. Also, Evil Emma makes a cake using a Spear and Peeps.

Also, with our clearly overlapping interests, I should make sure you can't sure GAF. Can't have the more exotic version of Hasney.

The bracket of Sucktitude and Stardust episode is the episode before the most recent. The newest one has the Evil Emma cake, then a bunch of vomit.

Slightly marked for AJ Styles being on the latest episode and Bullet Club being on it.

The TNA dig was fucking brilliant. Literally the funniest thing WWE has done on the network.

The Tommy Dreamer joke in the newest episode is too good.

A lot of the first round matchups are squashes, but there are a couple really close ones... Dangerous Alliance vs. The Heenan Family and The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Corporation.

Also, :lol: @ The League of Nations being completely stomped by The Brood.

Eh, it's not that lol worthy. Brood should be a finalist team.

Not sure if people caught the Emma stealing the recipe dig.

Did you know in 1995 a wresting fan who died left 2.5 million dollars to HBK because he was his favourite wrestler.

That is amazing. Where did you hear that?

This very random Stan Hansen vs Nailz squash match holds a very special place in my heart. Honestly is like a bar room brawl and Hansen just kicks the ever loving fuck out of this dude. You could tell there were points where Nailz seemed like he wanted out. My favourite is the finish. First he drops like the most heinous elbow I think I've ever seen. And then fucking decapitates him with the lariat and he broke Nailz's nose within the first minute and a half LOL

It reminds me of the Cape Feare Simpsons and Homer's like "Who wants to go through this cactus patch?" when Sideshow Bob is underneath the car and everyone is like "YEAH" And bob is like "...nooooo" and Homer's like "2 against 1" or something and drives Bob through the patch. That is this match, Nailz is Sideshow Bob and Stan is the cactus patch.

On a wrestling podcast that discusses random weeks in wrestling history based on the old Wrestling Observer/Pro Wrestling Torch newsletters. It's extremely interesting. It's called "Between the Sheets". Link below.
I also learned that HBK quit the WWF for a few weeks in 1993.

http://placetobenation.com/category/...en-the-sheets/

what was the back story there?

Jesus at that Stan Hansen match. This elbow drops, good grief.

hahahaha I'm so happy you had that reaction. "Stiff" or "snug" doesn't do those elbow drops justice. Kelly at certain points would fall to the ground so he didn't have to get smashed in the face again.

Then the Lariat at the end. It's not the same as the clothesline from hell, but it's more just a straight up smash to the face and you can just see Kelly on the ground going " :( why"

Shawn being Shawn. He actually did a bunch of shots for Lawler in Memphis at that time.

Is that story in the episode that is four hours long that has a pic of HBK losing his smile?

It's the 1996 show with Pete Schirmacher in regards to the inheritance story. The shows are long, but if you look in the description it breaks down when they discuss each company.

The 1993 show with Keith Harris discusses HBK quitting the WWF.

Genius

Random YOUMANGA

Looks like they based this restaurant off 2006-2007 wwe

Which means they just got it. MIAMI WICE NUMBER ONE NEW SHOW

The best thing about that food truck is that if you drunkenly drop your John Cena on the concrete you can pick it right back up no harm done.

Only after a count of 9.7

I thought Umaga was dead? Can someone please clarify is Umaga (Rikishi) is dead or alive for me please?

Umaga is not Rikishi. They were brothers.

Is Rikishi dead then?

Someone said Umaga was dead but he's clearly on the menu at that WWE restaurant.

Yep he refused to go to rehab so wwe cut him. Then he died.

Then why is he still on the menu?

Batista and Rey aren't in WWE no more either.

Makes you wonder if the Umaga is actually Umaga.

lol at Funky Fly's return :love:

Watched Timeline 1998 WWF Vince Russo. That was a chore. I can't stand his voice and he's so full of shit.

What do you mean Bro? Listen! Listen! bro, the thing is, the thing is Vince Russo, let me just clarify something for you bro....

Bro.

Let me tell you something bro!

Also another two wrestlers have just left TNA.

Leaving James Storm not in NXT, but in TNA minus the only interesting tag team/gimmick he's ever been involved with.

Bobby Roode to NXT though?

Just watched the Stone Cold Podcast with Big Show. Gotta say Show came across really well and struck me as being a real good guy. However my feelings of the prospect of 2 more years of Big Show matches can only be summed up with one gif.

Probably better than RAW lately...just saying from the Lurkdom

As I stated previously, the lack of diversity in the photographs is alarming to me. I am not sure if my fellow "people of color" and I will appreciate the "white washing" of backyard wrestling.

As the resident black representative of TPWW, I'd like to speak for all of my people when I say "Nah, yall can have that. have fun."

Ha ha... I was like "that kinda looks bada- oh, he's on a 'hoverboard'..... ok, then......"

I assume it is to spare his knees from having to endure walking

They don't call him Kneesterio for nothin'.

You do know that's not the real FF, right?

Yes it is. We chatted last night.

What an awful mania card:

I understand it's not "cool" to be down about certain aspects of wrestling. The cool kids these days are being "constructive" and "realistic". It's hard writing interesting TV these days etc....

But I am going out on a limb and saying that this is the WORST Wrestlemania CARD of all time. It could end up being great, but the card is poorly put together, has no mega matches or storied rivalries.

Roadblock, a house show special on the network, was basically the same level card wise.

Stan Hansen in HOF

https://41.media.tumblr.com/8ee6dee9...2jjyo1_500.png

Disagree. It's not the best card but it's far from the worst.

AJ and Jericho will bring it. Their previous matches haven't been what they could be, but with this being mania, I think they'll deliver.

As I've said before, zayn vs owens has been a very personal and intense feud, and we already know they can put on a great match.

I'm really curious how they're going to make shane vs taker a competitive match, so it definitely has me interested at least.

Ambrose vs Lesnar in a street fight? Come on. That's going to be fucking awesome.

While I'm still not sold on Reigns as the guy, I think he and Triple H are more than capable of putting on a great match.

Hell, even ryback vs Kallisto could be an interesting match.

Jericho and AJ plus Owens and Zayn is not on the card yet from what I can see. Unless something has changed? They needed those two matches to guarantee a few quality matches on the undercard. But they are not there on the card I just commented on. More important than that though, in terms of the card (not the event quality), they need those matches for a few feuds with depth and a story. Something the majority of the card has none of.

I actually think this is a year they could have done with Undertaker in there against a 'real' opponent. Not thrilled at the prospect of seeing Shane, a decade older, acting the wrestler. It doesn't appeal to me.

Reigns and HHH will be good but this is supposed to be Wrestlemania, the main event, the biggest match of the year!

As for Lesnar/Ambrose, it will almost certainly be great but I feel like they haven't done enough to focus on the feud and make it heated. It was a mistake for each to be looking at Bray and HHH so close to the event if they wanted us to care about this match.

I just don't see where the pull is, in terms of heated feuds culminating on the biggest stage, or even marquee matches...anywhere on the card.

There will be some great matches, there could be some shocking moments and am sure the night will be enjoyable enough, but it is a shocking card for a Wrestlemania

Owens/Zayn & Jericho/Styles are off that card and the two I look most forwards to.... Owens/Zayn could easily be the Steamboat/Savage of this generation.....

lol @ Rusev

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DqXRsHC4BpI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That looks absolutely awful. Why do WWE even bother with these shitty movies? Surely that's not gonna make a profit for them?

(Also, Ziggler had a clear shot throughout most of that. Idiot...)

Shane vs Taker is literally the only match that brings a "WrestleMania feel" with it. In that it's the only match that saves the card from looking like it could happen any other time of the year. Sucks. Can't remember ever caring this little about a WrestleMania and it's supposed to be "the biggest one ever".

Last year's and either Mania 27 or 28's build was pretty bad as well although this year does feel like they aren't even trying. Injuries have played a big role but doesn't excuse how half-assed the card feels with what they have left.

Hulk Hogan's lawsuit being mentioned on The Edge and Christian Show.

Damn. This has got to be the worst WrestleMania card of the modern era, say, since WrestleMania 8. And yes, it absolutely has to do with the injuries. The WWE has been dealt a very shitty hand this March season. Imagine what the card would look like if they had John Cena, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Sting, Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan healthy for this event. Or if they had managed to get The Rock or Ronda Rousey to get into the ring? They really did get a bad deal for Mania this year.

But that's not the whole problem. They have also decided to play the hand they were dealt in a really disappointing fashion. The main event is the worst of it. The last main event I remember where the fans were so ambivalent toward both parties was WrestleMania 22. Some people think that night made John Cena. Perhaps that's what they're trying to accomplish again. I'm personally of the belief that Roman Reigns doesn't have half of what John Cena has in him. Reigns has not had his "Doctor of Thuganomics" phase where he more or less got over on his own. He will absolutely need that if he's ever to reach the heights of Cena, Austin, Rock, Hogan, Macho, or any of the other "faces" of the WWE. And it's going to have to be one hell of a performance if they plan on pulling off the "big push" at Mania. I mean Oscar caliber performance from both guys.

The Shane/Undertaker feud has really boiled down into shit. Everyone was excited when Shane came back. But he's really made a mess of the whole thing by his constant screw ups on the microphone and by those embarrassingly weak punches he threw at Taker on RAW. The corporate world has clearly taken from Shane some of that spark he had in him during the Attitude Era. The stakes are "high" from a storyline standpoint, but I think we all know that there's no chance Shane wins and ends Undertaker's WrestleMania career. It will likely be a really good match and Shane will probably damn near kill himself to make sore of that, but the best way I can put it is that everything feels wrong about this match. It's completely out of its time and incredibly contrived.

Don't get me started on the Intercontinental Title situation... you have an incredible heel wrestler, who is also very over with the fans, as your champion, and you could choose one of SEVERAL face wrestlers for him to go against, and give us a guaranteed, solid, in-ring 20-25 minute classic. The glaringly obvious choice is Sami Zayn, and we already know that match will deliver. AJ Styles would also make a perfectly acceptable opponent. Instead, they are going with another clusterfuck 7-man Ladder match, which we have already seen a thousand times before. I get that, in theory, it is more "difficult" and therefore more "prestigious" to defeat 6 other men in a ladder match than to defeat one other man in singles competition, but when you have a card that is already struggling to deliver, why would you put so many of your most talented young stars into a match where only one of them is really going to get over in the end? And to make it even worse, they actually DO give a singles match to the trashy United States Championship in a match between Kalisto and Ryback, two guys who really are not capable of putting on a "classic" WrestleMania contest. Why not make Kalisto's US title up for grabs in a Ladder match and let Owens defend the IC Title in a singles contest? It is impossible for me to believe that no one suggested this very idea.

New Day against the League of Nations makes absolutely no sense. Turning New Day face is a bad idea.


The only bright spots that I can see are Ambrose versus Lesnar and the Diva's Championship triple threat, but back in the days, these matches alone would not really persuade a $60 purchase out of me. Ambrose is awesome, don't get me wrong, but this is kind of a waste of Lesnar. He should really be doing something "bigger." What that would be I'm not too sure, but it would probably involve the WWE Championship in some form or another.

Haven't the last 4 Mania's or so been called the "worst ever?"

I'm gonna be really disappointed if this year isn't the worst Mania ever

I'm not so sure the Young Bucks have any idea how to sell. They pull off some cool-looking moves, but they're a pretty weak package overall.

I don't think I've ever seen one of their matches

I actually thought XXX was pretty top-notch. Sure, some people wanna hate Brock for ending 'Taker's streak, but ya know what? Shit happens. Deal with it. I have.

Damn right. Better be worse than WM IX or IMMA BE PISSED!
