I guess. I read that as "two weeks from Sunday" as in "past two Sundays". Interpretation I guess.

Those goggles are tied to your head too tightly, m8

That couldn't be Bailey right? No way she'd debut at a pre-show.

Not only that, but she won't debut with that group. That's the Total Divas group. Bayley (if she comes up) will almost certainly be night after WM in a segment with Charlotte, Sasha, and/or Becky.

Triple H not wanting to main event could actually be logical.


This mania seems like its going to be a big bummer. Does he want to be known as the guy who main evented it?

Oh really.

Spoiler

Not that Bayley and Itami are equal in terms of potential, but put nothing past them.

 

[Nekofrog]

In the awful waning days of WCW, Norman Smiley was still totally worth watching. One of the very few good things.

It makes sense, the idea is just funny. I wouldn't actually be surprised if he said that given that it makes sense.

Look back at all of the work and build they had for itami.

Only for the biggest waste of talent to punch him off like he was nothing.

What did you just call me? Watch yourself, Beef. I've been watching a lot of Hansen recently.

Hey Paul, Eric, Joey, you forgot to mention Chris Benoit in this episode 👍

 

[Dark Ninja]

I have never seen these before, these are awesome.

Why isn't Joey Styles doing commentary for something...anything?

Styles still got it. My guess is he doesn't want to put up with all the rules of WWE commentary. He's probably happy making money without much pressure.

 

[Tagyhag]

Sounds like it's just going to be a lame surprise then.

Edit: What's Eva Marie doing? She could show the main roster a thing or two!

Who cares? It's Wrestlemania, everyone is on the card. Nothing special about it I M O

The spot doesn't make sense for Eva because it's the face side that needs someone, and Eva would get booed out of the building at WM.

Watching Hanson isn't the same as BEING Hanson. Something tells me you're more of a Colin Delaney in 2007 type...

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lol thinking ecw was mma. Dumbasses

 

[serenewarfare]

I'll have you know that Colin Delaney was a bonafide ECW superstar. He even beat the great Armando Estrada to earn his contract! He was involved in a main event angle with Tommy Dreamer!

 

[Bluekaveli]

Jerry Lawler against 4 ECW people. He was so real.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Holy crap the Edge n Christian show aint that bad. That burried segment in this weeks episode.

 

[jmdajr]

At least Taker will get a real entrance this year.

And I hope King of Kings can be back in true form as well!

 

[JTripper]

I'm watching last night's NXT and goddamn why have I never seen Rich Swann before.

That cartoon is hilarious.

He is the master polticker in wrestling history.

That's not how you spell Hulk Hogan.

 

[shwimpy]

it was my first time seeing him as well and I'm instantly a fan.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Yes Vince, you enjoyed Taz's work but you did nothing with him.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Most of the wrestlers clearly consider Wrestlemania to be special

I'm guessing a one night only return from someone.

 

[Tom Nook]

When is he coming back?

 

[Bluekaveli]

 

[jmdajr]

Like I already said. Trips doesn't want to go out there to die.

It's already happened twice, having to follow Hogan/Rock and Taker/Shawn.

In some ways you can say he's being greedy by not wanting to be last! He ain't stupid.
Not being main event is a total win for him.

 

[klonere]

With so many male wrestlers hurt, maybe it's time to seriously explore more inter-gender angles?
I definitely agree with that. I just think it takes time. I went from two-minute matches when I started with NXT to eight, to 10, to 12. I definitely think after this match at WrestleMania, we're gonna be given more opportunities like that. Not only will we show it, we're gonna demand it.

So that's the second women to come out and talk openly about intergender stuff, alongside Charlotte angling for a new belt and dropping the Divas stuff. Very interesting.

Good for them!

 

[Fox318]

That's not how you spell Hulk Hogan.

Hogan just wanted to be the one with the belt.

HHH wanted to be the top.

I mean what other person refuses to be the top babyface coming out of Mania 17 because he knew that Austin would get his win back.

Everyone else in that locker room would have fucking dreamed of working against Austin as the face.

But HHH didn't want to job and he set it up so he would be viewed as Austin's equal.

 

[Tom Nook]

Wish they could've start the show at 7PM PST, let the east coast stay up late.

The Rock or the Hulkster's return to the WWE universe.

Yeah I am pretty sure Rock with New Day was strongly hinted before

 

[NoRéN]

told yall jeff cobb was dope

Right away. Damn do I feel dumb that i never figured it out. I knew you guys would figure it out so quick.

So, Aztec Warfare 2: good stuff?

Little tidbit from the tapings. At the end this one mark was so angry with the result that he started yelling all this shit. "What the fuck is this WWE shit ending?! WTF is this!? This is some Vince McMahon shit!"

It was pretty funny since no one shared his sentiments.

 

[Striker]

I mean, this isn't the first time WWE has latched irrelevant old-timers onto The New Day to make them seem cooler. *cough* The Rock *cough* Edge and Christian *cough*

 

[jmdajr]

The Rock has 50 million Instagram followers.

I mean holy shit.

 

[Bluekaveli]

This never gets old

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The Rock or the Hulkster's return to the WWE universe.

Hulk aligning with New Day would be way too transparent.

So it'll be Hulk.

There is always one.

 

[blackaroni]

The Rock will show up, but have Kevin Hart sub for him in the match.

 

[Browny]

I've just realised... the 4th man - it's going to be Trump. Think about it - he's repairing his relationship with the black community, whilst ousting the evil foreigners.

We want Trump chants during Reigns fight?

 

[Hex]

Scott Hall's kid in the Bullet Club need some hair or facial hair or something.
He looks like a walking thumb (or penis).
And that kid with the dreads is probably the most vanilla boring personality in the sport right now.

 

[blackaroni]

It would really suck to tag with Trump after inducting Michael Hayes into the HoF.

Mantanza looks more like a Splatterhouse or Manhunt character


don't know where people think he looks like 'erick rowan' just because they both have jumpers

He looks like Erick Rowan if Erick Rowan wasn't in a PG universe where he just pulled his jumper out of the dryer before coming to the ring.

Mantanza has blood all over his outfit which I love. I was more reminded of Jason from Friday the 13th.

Splatterhouse was my first thought when I saw him last week

The title of that BvS RT thread is giving me flashbacks to Art Donovan's award winning commentary.
