I have a question.

Does Bray and Undertaker have a secret rundown at the NXT facility or at Mania to work on some spots, are they just expected to improvise, or do they just trust in them to hit a few main spots and they cover that on a phone call?

Taker owns a gym near his house. They do all the training there

 

[Anth0ny]

Speaking of which, Lapsed Fan podcast is on WM29, and Meltzer talks about both of these.

Vince jobbed him in his first match because "Vince wanted to prove his guys could beat UFC fighters". Vince is legitimately insane.

I just listened to that too and started cracking up at the gym. So Vince.

Imagine if Brock hadn't lost to anyone since his return. Imagine how much bigger the build would have been going into Mania last year to face Taker. Even though he's God King Lesnar right now, it would have been even bigger if he just murdered everyone in WWE since his return. too bad.

Also I've been listening to those Lapsed Fan podcasts. Pretty good listens, and perfect for workouts since they are 4+ hours long a pop (Mania 17 was 7 fucking hours). They've gone through every Wrestlemania weekly since September, and just uploaded their Mania 29 podcast yesterday.

Taker has a place near his home that his opponents come to work with him in. Every move of every recent Taker match is planned out exactly. That was part of the reason that people were unsure if Brock would even face him last year. Brock wasn't so sure if he wanted to travel down to Texas multiple times to go over the whole match.

So, this is an Eric Young shirt. Didn't know he was a Nashville Preds fan.

 

[Gorillaz]

His belly flab will give Vince Vietnam-style flashbacks to Punk, and he'll quickly be jobbing to Los Matadores on Superstars.

aww it has a face, maggle

 

[Sibersk Esto]

That cryptic guy in OT needs help or something. Must make a thread every couple of months or so about how he's about to kill himself

 

[The Shapesmith]

Oh wow that is really not expensive at all. I think I might have to do this some time.

Yeah although its a little more expensive for me since im in the Midwestern United States lol. But yeah i seriously may plan my European adventure around a PROGRESS show. Dont judge me people.

jeezus cesaro had a garbage haircut

 

[serenewarfare]

Every version of Cesaro with hair looks like garbage. Embracing the baldness was the best decision he's made.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

How do you even describe that? Corbin mullet with Jeff Hardy sideburns?

 

[iMax]

Well, I did not know this.

Undertaker vs Sting has happened twice. Sting won both those matches. They were in WCW house shows.

No judgment here brother.

time for Taker to get his win(s) back

The 1 in 2-1.

 

[DMczaf]

Well, I did not know this.

Jerry Lawler has faced Undertaker 42 times. Undertaker won 9 times, Lawler won 17, and the rest were draws or others. That's right, Jerry Lawler has beat Undertaker more times than Undertaker has beat Jerry Lawler.

It's called the Matt Hardy

Catching up on NXT, looks like Carmella got a serious knee injury. Perfect time to get rid of her.

Tyler killin it.

Perro Aguayo Sr. has not been told about his son's death, because of concerns about Perro Sr's health. http://m.espn.go.com/deportes/nota?storyId=2327296&src=desktop&cc=5200

In our JTG fact Undertaker has not faced JTG yet. This means that JTG is undefeated against the Undertaker. However they both were in the 2009 Royal Rumble.

Despite the somewhat tepid build, I can say that at this point I'm actually excited to watch Wrestlemania. The card has the potential to deliver some memorable moments and matches. Might do the pub thing or the theatre thing for this.

 

[DMczaf]

I'm excited to see Sting wrestle in a WWE ring now after last Monday.

Other than that, meh.



Oh, and for the final night of God King's reign

 

[serenewarfare]

To me this Wrestlemania will probably end up having a lot of good action, even if the main event probably won't be good. The ladder match, Sting-Triple H, Rusev-Cena, and even Bray-Taker will probably all be anywhere from decent to great. And it'll be fun to watch 60,000 people boo the hell out of the main event.

Sabin just posted: "Hard work and dedication pay off. Last road trip with my friend." (Jimmy Jacobs, newest member of the NXT creative team, probably starting in April)

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

NXTNA?

The one at the Arnold thing, she got a scratch on her knee. Better take 9 months off to recover. Enzo and Kas are getting the straps, they def don't need her dragging them down but her gimmick is nothing without them so :/

 

[UberTag]

Been thinking about which NXT guy will end up in the Andre. It has to be either Neville or Balor. For weeks everyone has thought Sheamus is winning it, so I think it's be fun if it came down to him and the NXT guy. Then the NXT guy wins. Gives a boost to a debuting guy and creates a ready-made feud and gives Sheamus a reason to turn heel. I think that scenario best fits Balor, but it could work with Neville too.

Of course, none of that will happen. Sheamus will win.

Give D.Brine the IC title ladder match win.
Give Balor the Andre battle royal win.
Have both guys feud with Sheamus and Barrett in a 4-way rivalry over the IC title.
Give them main event slots on TV. Instant credibility for the belt.

 

[Paracelsus]

So they're gonna bury his son and then tell the father?
Yeah, it's gonna do wonders for his health.

Hijo del Perro Aguayo cause of death according to Mediotempo.com

The cause of death for Aguayo was a stroke caused by cervical spinal damage. The medical report says he suffered from whiplash.

So somewhere during the match he got whiplash that caused spinal damage that led to him having a stroke.

 

[BronsonLee]

I've come to the conclusion after a decade or so that Cesaro is allergic to good haircuts
