March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns

That's painfully desperate. Reminds me of when Punk left WWE.

You want something that sounds desperate. Look at this promo by Justin Roberts at the HOH show:

Roberts said that he was at Wrestlemania and called the announcements of all these major names and felt nothing but tonight, he's feeling nervous and he knows the fans are going to give it to him and he's OK with that. The fans chanted, "Bring back Rocco." He said that's what he likes, that the fans let people know what they like and don't like. He said that the problem today with pro wrestling is that. He said the last few years in pro wrestling, he lost his passion and there were a lot of politics.

A little kid was sitting on his dad's shoulders and gave him the finger. The crowd popped for it. Roberts ripped the WWE for sending garbage out to the ring every week on Monday. He said the fans deserve better and that's why they d here. They are here for a good f***ing show. The crowd popped for the F word. He said he's loved professional wrestling his entire life and wondered if he should leave it, but then he saw that Tommy Dreamer, who loves pro wrestling, was running shows. He knows what the fans love and there's no politics and no glass ceiling here. If you suck, you are gone.

He said the business is healthy on the surface but inside it's dying a slow death. The wrong people are making the decisions and the fans deserve better. He said he was tired of talking so, he announced the next match.

Its kinda of sad a kid giving him the finger got a better reaction then him on the show.

Plus are people fans of other Wrestling companies on there shows basically doing promos on how Daniel Bryan should be facing Brock at Wrestlemania?

Bret Hart tells a story about Mr. Perfect feeding Yokozuna laxatives on a plane:


On a flight home from Japan, some years later, Curt took his seat up in first class and casually offered Yokozuna a chunk of his chocolate bar.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Yoko always had a sweet tooth and pestered Curt for more and more chocolate.

Little did Yokozuna know Curt was feeding him chocolate laxative.

Three quarters of the way through the flight, Yoko practically offset the balance of the plane when he leapt up and frantically pleaded for emergency assistance from the petite Japanese stewardesses.

Yoko, unfortunately, was well over 600 lb. at this time and couldn't get into the little airplane toilet. So, much to the horror of the travellers in coach class, Yoko was escorted to the back of the plane ... where newspaper was placed on the floor and these brave, courageous stewardesses held up blankets to block the scene from the view of the passengers.

It was a turbulence they'd never seen the likes of before -- and I dare to say since!

Anderson and Naito also had a very good match in round 1 of the NJ Cup. Probably the best match I've personally seen from Anderson. His offense looked like it wrecked Naito repeatedly.

4.25/5 for me. Going on my matches of the year list.

LOL @ the Tanahashi and Yano match from the NJ Cup round 1. That was hella entertaining. Great result, and the crowd reaction was tremendous.

Ugh, forgot about the Summerslam presale. Hopefully they saved some good seats for the general sale date. Can't find 2 together so I'm gonna have to try next Saturday.

They're still on presale until march 13. The code is summerslam.

Sometimes you just wanna play Vice City and shoot fuckers with an Uzi as you ride a motorcycle and listen to good 80s shit. You know?
 
So what's the kayfabe reason Sting is allowed to show up and beat up the Authority?

I figured Vince would be behind hiring Sting, but is the idea that he decks out in his gear, makes his way to Raw, and is allowed to interfere without security knocking him down, while not getting paid... all because he hates HHH for some reason?

Taker/HHH was worth the price of admission alone for Wrestlemania 27 though.


Amazing experience live. Every single person in the Georgia Dome bought into HHH's tombstone on Taker and thought that was the end of it.

Wrestlemania 27 was the first wrestling show that I've ever been to live. :)


:(

It could have been worse.

You could have gone to WWEECW's December To Dismember in Augusta, GA.

That will go down in history as the worst WWE produced PPV ever.

Because he was always jealous of Trips' success and dashingly good looks.

Well that should be fun once I get to it :(

This Wrestlemania and Raw are going to be my first WWE events, though I've gone to some local wrestling group shows before.

You going to the Raw after Mania?

That's always the highlight of that weekend. You never know what will happen, more than Mania.

The Miz promo video before the Miz/Cena match was legit one of the best parts of Wrestlemania 27, also.

Yep. Fan Axxess Friday, Wrestlemania Sunday, and Raw Monday. Skipping HoF cause I want to spend time in SF with friends, I've never been there.

I'm really hype for Mania but I'm almost more hype for Raw just because I know it's going to be crazy. Especially the reaction for whoever comes out as champ, Reigns or Brock. It's gonna be nuts!

So my neck's been jacked for like four months, and I think it's a shitty pillow doing the damage. I just got back from buying one of those molded memory some shit pillows. Wish me luck, chaps. I hate feeling like Pitbull 2.
