What's annoying about wrestlemania is the only commercial they're running on tv for it here only focuses on Cena vs The Rock, literally doesn't even mention any of the other matches.

Build aside, I am hyped for Triple H vs Undertaker because it is the ultimate hell in a cell match. I just wish they hadn't thrown HBK in there and left it pure.

No blood, no big bumps, 2 old guys. It's the ultimate something alright.

Based on last night's promo, I think we'll see some big bumps from these two. I'd love to see them revisit the spot where Taker threw Mankind off the cell and into the announce table. I expect them to hold nothing back in this one.
 
Midnight Wrassle-GAF was like the incredible Hulk Hogan porn thread. The best gifs of all time, but going absolutely creepy in here.

The first Midnight experience I saw...involved Spindashing and people who looked too far too young to ever look sexy to me.

/shivers

I'm still sad I was banned while that Hulk Hogan thread was going. So much gold in there.
Look at this jabroni acting like he never placed mosaic tiles on wrestling pics to play them off as censored nude photos.
 
Sunny is also backstage. Word is she approached Mark Henry, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, and black ref asking if they would fly to where her ex boyfriend lives and kill him for money.
 
Me too. I actually loved ReLoad. I just think they choose odd spots to play it.


I knew you were a Kane mark, lol. It's actually a damn shame that Kane/Orton has had a more sensible and interesting build than HHH/Taker.

Really? Really? Really, SoulPlaya? REALLY?!



HHH/Taker = "Best Wrestlemania match of all time". Lost the battle but won the war. Taker's win wasn't decisive enough. Shawn is better than HHH and still couldn't get the job done. Hell in a Cell. HHH is doing it for Shawn. Shawn doesn't need HHH's pity, he's special guest refereeing the F out of this match. "Isn't it ironic?".


VS.

Kane/Orton = Kane shook Orton's hand last Summer. His name...


...is Randy Orton.




I know you're a Kane mark, SoulPlaya, but this is ridiculous.

The only way you'd see that spot is if Mick Foley himself climbs up the cage and throws himself off. No way in hell Trips takes a bump like that, even at Mania.

And the cage prevents Taker from doing his annual crazy move, the Tope Suicida over the top rope.

Is this a thing now? In order to no longer be a jobber you have to get your head put between HHH's crotch?

Triple H knows five moves...

1) How to use his backstage stroke to give his workout buddies main event pushes.
2) How to bury everyone else on the roster by making them look like complete and utter shit, pedigreeing them or make them praise his WrestleMania matches in backstage interviews.
3) How to spit water in the air like a champ.
4) How to give Stephanie baby girls... but not boys.
5) The crotch chop.

Please note that these are still better than Cena's five moves.

Ugh, newest members of Team Teddy
Great Khali and Zack Ryder, WHY KHALI WHY
Teddy Long is the worst GM ever.
Got to put the fear of death in Ring Ka King (aka the most watched weekly wrestling program on the planet).

Teddy has a soft spot for comedy characters. That's all WWE will be if he wins this match and takes over RAW and Smackdown. You think Cena is bad now? He'll be all jokes with Teddy as GM.

See, now look at it this way, if HHH won the war, then why are they having another match? Besides, Kane took off his glove for that handshake! Do I even need to say anymore?

But... Kofi Kingston isn't funny.

Clearly the last member of Team Teddy will be Hornswoggle.

If Vince really cared he would be smart and cancel the WWE network or make it an internet subscription. Put up the entire archive and say "Hey subscribe to this shit for $10 and you get everything! The WCW Archive, the ECW archive, the every fucking thing archive!"

Then he'd take 10% of the budget that was for the WWE network and launch his own rival Ring Ka King promotion. Call it King Ra Ring, toss over Khali as champion and Jinder as something too. Have the indian attitude era, make millions on a small budget.

Then have someone over come the Great Khali and be the most over person in all of Indian Sports entertainment, in a David v. Goliath esque storyline or some shit.

The WWE hasn't drawn well in India though.
 
I'm still trying to figure out where most of you get the idea that HHH buries anyone and everyone he can.

In the last year

Pedigreed Zack Ryder for no reason at the height of his popularity
Inserted himself into Punk angle after sensing it was hot
Said a broom could wrestle better than entire lockerroom
Made Undertaker beg for a fucking rematch after Undertaker beat him last year
Basically said HBK, Undertaker, and himself are the only great wrestlers left
Showed himself pedigreeing Ziggler
Killed Sheamus and absolutely destroyed him on Raw in less than a minute


Maybe more I'm forgetting.

Pedigreed the Miz during commercial break.
Made himself the main event of Night of Champions despite neither him or Punk having a belt.
That ridiculous angle with Kevin Nash.
Making himself the top face in the company as COO.

Pedigreeing someone is not always meaning burial. He didn't bury Ziggler in that stupid MSG video. No one was paying attention to Ziggler at all from that. The Punk thing is fair but Punk wasn't exactly buried, was he? The Ryder one is fair but the Taker one isn't. They needed an opponent for Taker at WM, and putting him in there makes sense. How is that burying anyone? When was the last time HHH held a title?

See, now look at it this way, if HHH won the war, then why are they having another match?
But HHH didn't want to initially. He wants the match now because Taker said Shawn is better. To Shawn, this means that HHH can't stand the fact that he's(Shawn) better than him. To HHH, he rationalizes that he accepted the match because he's tired of people talking S behind Shawn's back about how he "couldn't get the job done", so he's doing it for the both of them; which is total BS.

It looks to be setting up a feud between Shawn and HHH.


Besides, Kane took off his glove for that handshake! Do I even need to say anymore?

What the hell? Is that glove full of vaseline to keep his hand soft for X-Pac or something? Who cares!
This match is either complete bullshit or a last minute solution to Barrett's injury.

Or both.

Kane sucks and you should feel bad.
