Nostalgia stream is playing WM 17. My first Wrestlemania. My aunt bought it as a birthday present and I watched it with her, my sister, and my cousin in a rare family bonding moment. Happy memories here. :)

What's the new Nostalgia stream?
 
pretty sure Brock isn't showing up tonight... how sure? Knowing Vince, he wouldn't have a big name like Lesner show up without any hype. I mean really.. when was the last time a s tier superstar showed up at a ppv unannounced?

the great khali walks likes hes 2 seconds away from being tied to a wheelchair. how in the world is this dude still wrestling?

This came up on the Bryan & Vinny Show this week.
They seem to think that the WWE is doing Khali a solid by giving him paydays while he can still walk and that all parties concerned know that Khali will be wheelchair-bound within a year.

Though if she screws Bryan you've got your easy reason for the inevitable rematch next PPV.

Given the WWE's incessant love of rematch clauses so they can book as lazy as absolutely possible, wouldn't Brian be entitled to a match at Backlash regardless after losing the title?
No reason the full AJ turn has to happen now. If she's smart, she should give herself plausible deniability when screwing over Bryan now before making it completely blatant in the rematch.
 
Finally got around to watching SD, surprised Bryan/Sheamus actually got a video package. That's four full packages they've got, guess that's where the extra hour is going.

Predictably the production team made it exciting despite there not being any build at all, and peppered it liberally with "YES"'s, so it gets a thumbs up from me. The emphasis they put on Bryan telling AJ to shut up makes me think the finish will have her turning on him, though it seems way too soon to me.

Though if she screws Bryan you've got your easy reason for the inevitable rematch next PPV.

I think it's genius.Groundbreaking even. I mean ,when's the last time BOTH guys turned heel at the same time.And during a main event match.

Goldberg/Lesnar at WM XX? Though Lesnar was a heel then IIRC. Oh man, if the crowd really did boo Cena and Rock that would more than make up for the shitty build this feud has had.
 
The following jobbers are not included in WM in any way.

Anyone on this list that GAF thinks is deserving of a spot on the card?

Alex Riley
Brodus Clay
Camacho
Curt Hawkins
Big Zeke
Heath Slater
Hunico
Jinder Mahal
JTG
Johnny Curtis
Mason Ryan
Genesis
"Mr Charisma" Ted DiBiase
Trent Barreta
Tyler Reks
Yoshi Tatsu

Brodus Clay isn't deserving but WILL find his way onto the card.
Hunico actually IS worthy (due to being superior Sin Cara) but won't.
 
JTG should be happy he still works for them. I dont think he has been on TV in months.




And I will not watch WWE for a month if any of the following happens.



Cena wins clean. no interference, no sneaky illegal moves. he wins. Rock raises Cena's hand after the match and they have a cuddle to close the show.

Triple H wins. Retires the next night on RAW after doing what no one could ever do and announces himself the new permanent GM of RAW.

Team Teddy wins.
 
I'll stop watching for a year, maybe two, if Hunter ends the Streak. Not like I'll be missing much, though I'll probably peek in six months later and find out Triple H won all the gold.

Seriously thinking about ordering this...haven't actually watched wrasslin' in years, but used to be huge into it. I was a big Rock and HHH fan, so this has me interested.

I'm in the same position. I started keeping up with WrassleGAF early last year, and then the Punk promo pulled me back in. I almost want to order the PPV purely out of WrassleGAF love, but I can't make up my mind. I haven't really liked the buildup to it, and I don't want to drop $55 or $60 and then have it turn out to be extremely underwhelming.

actually.. yeah I think I would probably just stop watching altogether if H's wins.

there will be promo videos on RAW for MONTHS about how he ended the streak.
 
Here's the Wrassle-GAF IRC server, it was pretty active during the last two ppvs.

SERVER: irc.rizon.net
CHANNEL: #wrasslegaf

Not sure who runs it, Judderman maybe.

Despite whatever the buildup did for you, the card has 3 MotY contendors on it, the rest should be entertaining at the least, with the one exception being the divas match.

I doubt anyone will be dissapointed. It's a good card. It will be a good show.
 
I wish there was a slightly possibility HHH could win. But there isn't, so at least maybe the match will be good.

Also F the Miz for ruining wrestlemania with his presence.
 
Miz is going to get the pin in the Team Excitement vs. Team Holla match, you know that, right?
 
Ithil said:
Bizarrely, no, just a straight tag match. I know it'd take ages if it were elimination, but surely it's been build to be important enough to need it?
Click to expand...

That's what I would have thought, yeah.

Would have been cool to have henry left in there on his own and then take out the entirety of team teddy, stopping to taunt teddy just before the last pin.

one fall to a finish just seems a bit anti-climactic for this kind of match

The best thing about this match is that it will probably be 4 minutes.

This is my main problem with the match since they went this direction. There was never any way to see HHH winning. Even if Taker takes an insane bump that knocks his hair off, there is still no way I see HHH pinning him. None of the near falls will mean anything :/

A no contest the the most interesting thing that could happen - although that pleases no one
 
Time for my WM17 rewatch. Jericho vs. Regal... How i worship these two guys.

Time to rid ourselves of Lawler so Regal can take his spot with JR taking Cole's. I need this badly WWE. My wellbeing depends on it.

I think this is being really generous.
