Great video of Vince McMahon surprising Shawn Michaels backstage with his Hall of Fame ring. Both get very emotional.

Fuck you Taker

I love how Sarge never fucking ages haha

Already posted sir.

Yeah, my bad. I saw it at the top of my Twitter and thought it was new. Turns out it was just a re-tweet by Joey Styles.

Pretty cool slant on WrestleMania.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

For those keeping score, tonight was the first time Brian "Road Dogg" Armstrong had been seen on WWE programming since being released in December 2000. He's largely been ignored even during reunion shows for some intensely critical comments he and Kip "Billy Gunn" Sopp made about Triple H in several shoot interviews.

Oh man, so weird to see them do that huddle again. Sucks that Hall wasn't there.

Does Triple H get punished again?

 

[XxCGSxX]

I would also like that lamp if anyone wouldn't mind sending me a PM. Thanks!

Same here, my lamp recently broke so I need a new one, thanks.

What have they said about Triple H?

edit: I'm having problems sleeping. I wonder if I'll be awake for WM. :/

Gentlemen the day of Mania Is upon us. Keep the faith Cenation.

C2morg has been texting me from Atlanta, he is doing all the festivities and is in constant fap mode.

I woke up at 6AM today... gonna have to pull 22 hours awake to watch Mania live

Really wish I slept in :/

They did a couple shoot interviews around '06-'07 saying Triple H told them once during the DX heyday he would do anything it takes to get to the top of the business. They implied that was his motive for dumping Chyna and pursuing a legit relationship with Stephanie McMahon. They had some really strong words for what he did to Chyna specifically and pretty much blamed him running off with Stephanie as what sent Chyna on her mess of a downward spiral.

The funny thing is that I heard a story that Triple H actually pitched an idea of a DX reunion with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn on that Raw 15 show back in December 2007. Then someone in WWE showed him a clip of what they said about him and immediately killed that idea.

Long day eh? 4am bed at earliest but I'm often still buzzing so wont be able to sleep till 5 or 6, good job I aint working tomorrow.

Need to plan out my snacks for tonight, I have a few varying bags of sweets and a 6 pack of glass coke (mania tradition) but not sure what to do for proper food, may ring a pizza at 12.

 

[Buckethead]

Taker will limp on until it's 20-0.

They need to find a worthy opponent for him though.
Sting would have been pretty sweet.

Hopefully he's worn down by next year.

Sting V Taker on a mania would mean Sting signs just to lose. They'd need to do something have have Taker and Sting not finish and turn into a team or something.

 

[British Monsoon]

Woo, all lamp'd up for WrassleMania, 5 Euro bucks for a top quality lamp - can't wait, should hopefully still be a great show regardless of Snooki the Troll and poor build-up's.

DGUSA's iPPV was last night - from the PAC/Tozawa match onwards everything was said to be awesome, kinda regretting skipping on it now, but I'm reaching my limits of how much wrestling I can watch in one weekend - so far I've watched; ROH SoCal Showdown II, Osaka Pro's Halloween show, Corazon Pro from last September, SHIMMER Volume 35, ROH takes Center Stage Day 1 & 2, PWG's Kurt RusselReunion II, Oz Academy's 15th Anniversary show and SMASH 14.

 

[Parallax]

are there any remaining lamps? its kinda dark in my neck of the woods

 

[Downhome]

I am about to head out towards Atlanta to go to Axxcess and Wrestlemania! I will try to post some pictures to my Twitter account, cbrentl, which I have never actually used before. I can't wait!

 

[Plinko]

Man does this picture make me feel old. DDP still looks somewhat like he did 10 years ago, though.

WWE sucks for botching that guy and his gimmick.

 

[Linkified]

Any good sources of lamps out there, all my lamps burned out over the last 3 months?

 

[British Monsoon]

If you guys don't mind paying for premium lamps, you can grab a 4 day pass for 5eu at wrestlingbay - never had any complaints with them and it's always a good quality...lamp.

DivaDirt are offering an alternative WrestleMania Diva's match, which will only be available for today - Sara Del Rey vs Natalya Neidhart from SHIMMER vol. #7;

http://www.diva-dirt.com/2011/04/03...2011-nattie-neidhart-vs-sara-del-rey-shimmer/

 

[DonasaurusRex]

Interesting. I wonder which song he's coming out to. Obviously won't be Seek and Destroy (unless they wanna do a rib on Sting!).

probably for whom the bell tolls.

 

[jobber]

the streak ends tonight.

Taker takes off a year...goes in th HoF next year

believe.

Only way this gets screwed up is if Cena and Rock have a retirement match next year.

 

[bart jr]

'Wherever I May Roam' would make for a sweet entrance song, but it looks like HHH is going to use 'Nothing Else Matters'.

 

[jobber]

So I heard at the fan shit they got a graveyard of all of Taker's victims from the past Wrestlemania..but it's only 16 tombstones which means it's 1 for HBK and 0 for Triple H...so if they totally erased that match from history, does WM19 count for 2 since he won a handicap match?!

*explodes*

You want Taker to lose?

I'd much rather him go unbeaten and the day after WM on RAW, say his goodbyes, the lights go out, come back on. . .and he's gone.

He's beat Kane twice.
He's beat HBK twice.

A HHH tombstone was there.

That would be pretty cool.

I don't really care one way or another if he loses the Streak, but to a guy like HHH? No. Neither to guys like Cena, or Orton. Put it for somebody who would need it, and would become legitimized in a heartbeat. I would be thinking Del Rio or CM Punk, though they're also iffy because they've been World Champions (you know ;D will win tonight!).

if they had built up the match properly id say yeah he could lose to HHH and retire. But now i dont know if i want it so end so...randomly.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

WHO WILL SURVIVE?

PUMP IT UP PUMP IT UP

I think the only heels that're going to win are likely Del Rio and maybe Miz. And of course the streak continues.

 

[spindashing]

This thread is going to get so hyped.

I can't wait.

 

[RBH]

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk

Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole with Stone Cold Steve Austin as special guest referee

John Morrison, Trish Stratus, and Snooki vs. Lay-Cool and Dolph Ziggler

Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella, and Vladimir Kozlov vs. Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes

United States Championship Match
Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan

god yes.

Wrestlemania is suppose to be the culmination of a year full of shit storylines and bad segments we had to sit through. Taker worked like 6 matches in the last year. DAT E needs to focus on making new stars. Look at Cena for example. He wasn't even on the card for a match at WM 19...WM20 he was in the first match.

If you don't like Cena, fine...look at Miz. He wasn't officially on the card at WM25 since the tag match was a dark match...then part of the first match at WM 26...and a 99% he's going to be in the last match tonight.

Sick of the streak overshadowing titles...the IC and tag titles aren't even on the line. You know who else is undefeated at Wrestlemania?


Goldberg.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

MY BODY IS READY for Wrestlemania.

I've got my Miz t shirt ready to wear to my friends house, his stepson and friends are all Cenation, and I plan on drinking their tears as the Rock interferes and the Miz retains.

But HHH winnin wouldn't exactly make a new star!

If they want to use the streak being broke to good effect build a youngster up over a year and have them break it next year.

HHH would be the worst pick imaginable bar Mysterio

 

[Dinokill]

What is the lamp people are talking about? 2 dollars to watch Wrestlemania in HD? Can someone explain me or at leat PM me?

 

[MattyH]

guys could do with a lamp thanks im sat in the dark here

 

[Polk]

HHH would be the worst pick imaginable bar Mysterio

Vince himself?
But I agree, they gain nothing if Taker loses to HHH.

 

[spindashing]

It's always great seeing new faces in here, but it's amusing seeing new faces drop in merely begging for a lamp...

ive paid for mania on box office but need a lamp for a friend

 

[StealthGoblin]

I think this years card is quite good for newish talent (or reasonably established talent getting a push or a decent showing) in nice places.

Daniel Bryan
Sheamus
Alberto Del Rio
The Miz
The Corre

I like having the Streak there but I think it could have done with more build up. Taker has to be rusty.

i think sheamus v Bryan has got a chance to be one hell of a match

Same here, especially if given a sold 10 minutes plus to work with - I'm glad it'll (more than likely) be opening the show too, should be a great way to kick of Mania.

 

[Four_Chamber]

I've become a big Sheamus fan this year

The bicycle kick to Bryan to win the US Championship was awesome. He's actually a fun guy to watch who got pushed a little too fast but is still pretty talented.

I don't need to say anything bout Daniel Bryan either- he's just quality through and through and happy to see him wrestling on the biggest stage.

 

[noclevername620]

Heading down to the arena in a bit. What an epic week. ROH impressed the hell out of me yesterday.

 

[Striker]

Sheamus has gotten more fans as of late, mostly due to his in ring performance. I guess when he got away from Boreton and Cener that can only help you.

I agree, he's a good guy to watch. It's stupid how he was "cursed" by the KotR and jobbed for a straight month.

 

[Nester]

Going to the bar to watch it with some friends.
