And most of the time when I see it it's one of you nerds talking smack about the greatest promotion of all time

The dubya see dubya will rise again

How can it rise when at Wrestlemania the final nail in the coffin will come from Brock da based WWE gawd squashing that tiny bug Gassberg like da Game did to Stang.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I hope they use Shelton at house shows first before debuting him on SD. Any word if he's had a match recently, like a rehab match?

He'll probably slam the big show as a warm up this weekend.

Ignoring the graphic of the article about the kickoff having Bliss in it but between rthe SD women's match not being mentioned there and the full card listing it amongst the main show matches, it does in fact seem like yes the SD Women's match has been bumped up to the main show. Also of note the official card still calls it Bliss vs everyone available meaning we might be in for some returns/surprises.

Barring any surprise kick off matches it also means that hopefully Aries/Neville is going to have even more time as there is no other match scheduled for the first hour of the pre show.

Also given that the full card lists the pre show matches in the correct order and lists the triple threat tag title match as the first main show match (which was basically what everyone predicted) this could be the official match order... meaning that Wyatt/Orton might actually be your Wrestlemania actual Main Event...

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Crowd is gonna be tired out for a lot of matches if that's the actual order.

 

[Toki767]

Why is Orton vs Wyatt the first match on the list?

No one really believes that's main eventing the show.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Crowd is gonna be tired out for a lot of matches if that's the actual order.

You fucker, they never give you the order.

 

[slightconfuse]

So many matches.

Someone tell WWE more ≠ better

 

[sf2fanatic]

You fucker, they never give you the order.

You watch your mouth.

 

[Bluekaveli]

You watch your mouth.

Wash your mouth with soap damnit. Soap on a rope match brother.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol wtf?

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Yeah. There needs to be less PPV/network events or whatever they call them now too. There are so many sometimes only 2 weeks or so apart they dont feel special and wind up feeling like raw.

I know they are trying to add as value to the network as possible and appreciate that but fuck.

 

[RecRoulette]

So, I'm taking breaks during the musical acts, but if I gotta pick a match to bail on, it's gonna be HHH vs Rollins, that's weird.

 

[Toki767]

I don't really want to see HHH work on Rollins' knee for 10 minutes before Rollins stops selling to do his offense either.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I hate to say this but I'm looking forward to the KO/Jericho match.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lol wtf?

Brother, nailz v bossman v nathan jones specialty match. Soap on a rope, your ass is grass son.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I hate to say this but I'm looking forward to the KO/Jericho match.

Its one of the only matches I really care about.

 

[Heroman]

Heroman will get it one day.

I'm just telling the truth friend.

You liked BotB2 over 1? BotB 4 was better than 2 because it went full action flick as opposed to a pseudo tourney. BotB 3 is one of the worry movies I have ever seen in my life.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Drew giving a great promo at Evolve 80

He's going on the emotional Rollercoaster for his entrance brother.

 

[Tall4Life]

Bring it to the Table right now btw

jbl just killed kayfabe

 

[Toki767]

It's a 7 hour show.

The Smackdown Women's match will just be cut to 5 minutes in order to give Undertaker and Goldberg time to get to the ring.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bring it to the Table right now btw

jbl just killed kayfabe

Fuck, I'm still on calls 😔

 

[Tall4Life]

JBL just made a Manti T'eo reference....in 2017

And JBL and Corey just said the SD women are better than the Raw women, it feels like they loosened up

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Or fly down to the ring

 

[Bluekaveli]

Is he talking about sf's imaginary friend pikma?

 

[Heroman]

I don't really want to see HHH work on Rollins' knee for 10 minutes before Rollins stops selling to do his offense either.

It going to Okada vs Suzuki but way worse.

 

[Lothar]

Was anything on Raw or Smackdown worth watching? 120 unread pages. Must have been a good week.

I just read this Kurt Angle story back on page 53. Pretty funny. I'm glad I saw it before skipping to the the end of the thread.

As part of the Q&A segment, Kurt was asked about Edge. Kurt laughed and brought up the hair vs hair match. He recalled Vince calling him into his office the afternoon of the event to discuss the match. Vince told Kurt out right "you're going bald" and told Kurt that his reason was because he was sick of looking at his receding hairline. Kurt told the audience that he accepted this and didn't have any issue with it at all. Vince ordered Kurt not to say anything about it to Edge and that "we're gonna f*** with Edge!" So Edge comes in and Vince tells him Edge is going to do the job that night and go bald. Kurt recalled that Edge's face went chalk white, he said ok and they both left. Outside of the office, Edge in a panic started saying to Kurt how he couldn't go bald because he grew his hair out to hide his ugly face. Kurt said it was hard to keep a straight face, but he told Edge that he has to do the job and if he didn't like it, then tough. Before the event, Kurt was walking backstage and saw that Edge was out front in the stands appearing to be crying. In the end, Edge was told 5 minutes before the match that it was all a rib and that Kurt was losing his hair that night.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Or fly down to the ring

That would be so cool but damn impossible. I can't wait for wm 42 when the rock flies in with a jet pack though

 

[British Monsoon]

Drew pretty much beat the shit out of Riddle, goddamn. That was wild. Fun way to kick of Mania week.

 

[sf2fanatic]

It was a tossup on either 1 or 2. 2 had that barakas playing the super heel. I never watched 4 because 3 sucked and never kept up with the series.



Blue I'll have to re watch that match again

Survivor Series 96? Or nailz v bossman?

4 is your typical 90s, B-rated action flick. If you like those, you like 4.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Shoot time

 

[Pikma]

Oh shit I forgot Evolve was today

 

[Tall4Life]

JBL is now complaining about you marks saying he's shooting but then saying he's working you with Roman Reigns

get worked marks

 

[Bluekaveli]

Jbl saying the word shoot.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Evolve show is great

 

[esmith08734]

How are they going to do HHH/Seth. Is it just going to be Seth getting his ass kicked and his knee brutalized for 10 minutes only for Seth to hit a quick pedigree for a 3 count?
