Assuming Punk is gone for sure. For how long will there be rumors that he is secretly coming back?

 

[Evening Musuko]

Seems about right to me.

Gives Bryan just the right amount of time to rest. Although we all know he's going to come out and go berserk mode for about 2 minutes and then he going to get destroyed and thrown out of the ring for 10 minutes so Orton/Batista can have "their" match.

I can already hear the loud ass pop in my head when Bryan recovers and goes to town with Dave and Randy.

Too long...

 

[British Monsoon]

Until he signs a contract with someone else, I'd guess. Even then, there'll probably always be rumours as long as he's still physically able.

 

[HerbertFish]

Opening with Bray intro would be fucking wild too. I would like that. Cena done with the show within 30 minutes is something I just can't see. (So naturally he surprises entrants the royale and buries the entire roster)

 

[Hasney]

No confidence in the network working properly for me tomorrow now *sigh*

 

[Downhome]

I'm sitting here going through past Wrestlemanias, certain matches and that sort of thing, and this Hogan/Rock match at 18 is still as amazing as it was when I watched it back then for the first time. Would this be the first true instance of what we all know as the modern "bizarro" crowd? I remember being shocked and amazed at this crowd reaction.

 

[The Main Event]

Probably asked and answered already, but is the pre-show going to be available to people outside of the Network? I keep seing being exclusive to the WWE Network.

Being in Canada and all, not having access to the pre-show on the PPV channel would suck ass.

“I could get more out of that guy than anybody else walking Planet Earth,” said Austin. “He could have that ultimate ‘Come to Jesus’ meeting with me. Punk’s been around for a long time and he’s a smart guy, but he never stepped into a damn squared circle with the intensity of a guy like Stone Cold Steve Austin.”

[Guzim]

Didn't Cena say he was going to be in the Andre battle royal when Hogan introduced it?

 

[Sblargh]

Which finisher that probably has been kicked out before will Michael Cole announce as never being kicked out before? Sister Abigail?

Sister Abigail, and I believe The Move That Defeated John Cena.

Edit: I misread your question. The Tombstone Piledriver.

 

[British Monsoon]

Ever since the last update on PS4, the quality of the live stream has been terrible - on demand stuff plays perfectly, but the live stream is blocky, keeps stuttering, re-playing the same few seconds over and over, etc - I have little hope that it'll hold up for Mania. Thankfully, I have an emergency lamp on standby.

The first hour of the pre-show will be on youtube/WWE.com like usual, but the 2nd hour of the pre-show will be Network exclusive.

Yeah I vote no confidence too.
Subscribed to the network but still paying the £15 to Sky Box Office just incase.

Ah that's too bad. Thanks for answering.

 

[Hasney]

PC Stream seems to be working alright, if a little behind and much worse quality than the PS4. Oh well, at least I can try that if it goes off.

 

[abundant]

Didn't Cena say he was going to be in the Andre battle royal when Hogan introduced it?

He did, then backed out when Bray challenged him to a match.

Wow, that's a great deal.

Thanks for clarifying that.

 

[Wrestlemania]

WM26 is on at the moment - what an odd group of celebrities behind the announcers.

Is Emma Stone with a couple of Culkins?

 

[kiguel182]

Emma Stone was at Mania? Can that women be any more perfect?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Prince Jr and Seth Green lolz

Manny being Manny!

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

The Wrestlemania Origins E:60 on ESPN was pretty well done.

 

[Rapstah]

I imagine the Divas match goes on right before the main event. They would want the feel-good moment of Eva Marie winning that title to get ready for the final match.

And for most sensible people to stock up on some beer before the main event.

Or take a toilet break.

 

[led4lyfe]

Bought tickets off stub hub last night. I moved to New Orleans back in October so I've been trying to go to all the major events whenever I can (sugar bowl, nba all star weekend, wrestlemania, etc, etc). The production of this is going to be crazy, couldn't pass it up. $120 per ticket in the 101 section hopefully good seats.

Channing Tatum? I do not see him?

I see Megan Fox though in the white top

 

[Hasney]

Current live feed is still shitting the bed on PS4. Looks like I'll be giving up and seeing if the PC can do it during the hall of fame so I at least have a tiny bit of confidence going into Sunday.

 

[somedevil]

You mean next to Seth green? I think that's his wife Clare Grant.

Here's what it looks like at a football game, at least!

Figure the logo is where the ring is. And you're directly across from the entrance ramp.

 

[Into]

There is a much higher chance of the diva battle royale being a 5 star match, than the WM30 stream working at even 80% capacity

Its going to be a blood bath.

 

[Macho Madness]

From Figure Four Weekly:

The current match order for WrestleMania is as follows: Shield vs Kane & Outlaws; "stuff in the middle"; Cena vs Wyatt; Lesnar vs Undertaker; Diva invitational; and the two Daniel Bryan matches.

Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan may have a late added stipulation like submission match and no disqualifications added, which really isn't surprising at all.

 

[kiguel182]

From Figure Four Weekly:

Well, Bryan is going over HHH now for sure. Not that there was any doubt but no way HHH can wrestle two matches back to back.

Still weird they don't do it sooner.

 

[Ithil]

From Figure Four Weekly:

No DQ sounds like a no brainer, given it ought to be a brutal match and HHH is limited by his age so he usually has weapons in his matches now.

 

[DMczaf]

So Daniel Bryan is going to pretty much have his own Iron Man match to close the show?

Love it.

 

[slightconfuse]

why wouldnt they do HHH/Bryan then taker then Chapionchip match.

taker match would be a good to to catch your breath.

 

[kiguel182]

why wouldnt they do HHH/Bryan then taker then Chapionchip match.

taker match would be a good to to catch your breath.

The match that follows Bryan vs HHH will have a dead crowd, unless it's another match with Bryan. They probably want the crowd fresh for the Taker match.

 

[Ithil]

It also bypasses Bryan having to do two entrances (he will probably have a special entrance for the HHH match, having a regular entrance later would be odd), because he'll probably just stay in the ring after the HHH match. Plus it stacks even more odds against him.

I bet he'll be taken out of the first 10 minutes of the match so Batista and Orton can have some facsimile of what their original singles match would have been before making it full Triple Threat.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

They need to play this during the HHH/Bryan match.

I hope Trips keeps the slacks for the match for some reason.

Fuck dude, Bryan going back to back, that could seriously be the greatest performance of any wrestler yet. Great Sasuke style baby!

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

The match that follows Bryan vs HHH will have a dead crowd, unless it's another match with Bryan. They probably want the crowd fresh for the Taker match.

I'd actually say the Taker-Brock match is the only one on the card that could follow HHH-Bryan (Which is absolutely going to steal the show) and not bring down the crowd.

As far as that rumored order goes...I am not a fan of the Divas match being after Brock-Taker, but hey...I guess a cooldown match is needed.

Still can't believe Austin wasn't given a better spot in that WM.

 

[slightconfuse]

he was original going to face hogan, but chose not to, iirc

 

[zychi]

Assuming Punk is gone for sure. For how long will there be rumors that he is secretly coming back?

Probably longer then the Sting rumors. Even when Sting was undercontract "he's gonna fight Taker!"

...

Bryan's main event entrance will be him standing tall in the middle of the ring leading the biggest YES chant ever while awaiting his challengers.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Still can't believe Austin wasn't given a better spot in that WM.

Listening to Review-a-Wai episode that talked about this very thing; they should've put Edge against Austin in Toronto. That could've made Edge a huge star.

 

[Chamber]

From Figure Four Weekly:

It's set up like a UFC ppv, come for the co-main and main event.
