The Wrestling Topic

See some fans still don't know what happens when you jump a wrestler...

Good to see Hart is ok


 
You lose lots of atmosphere

Yeah the lighting for the entrances sucks for anything done before the sun goes down and as you said the sounds is F'd period through the whole show. I remember it was a big deal back during WrestleMania 3 when they opened the show and that huge stadium was full of people but that was a special occasion, now every WrestleMania is like that and it's just the same old thing and to top it off you have to hear the announcers bring up the inflated attendance number every 10 minutes.
 
Look at WM 31. Sting, HHH, Taker and Brays entrances all ruined due to the open roof.


Compare this


To this


Would have been awesome in a dark arena. Remember the rock segment was also dragged out to try and let the sun go down before the Bray/Taker match.
 
i feel they could have done few false finishes, i never felt like bryan might actually win
 



Apparently he was fired on the spot for Hart mentioning Vince in his hall of fame speech
 
So after loads of hype for Cody's opponent.... it's 50 year old recovering from double knee surgery and currently in rehab Dustin Runnels :really:
 
Sounds like a mixed deal for them which is no surprise really.

The $50 PPV model doesn't work now days though
 
Not going to have cable any longer, but will probably sign up for Bleacher Report Live (or Hulu TV) and check this out when it starts airing. I love WWE, but man their weekly shows are a chore to get through. Not too enthusiastic about $50 PPV's, but may check out one or two of them at the beginning.
 
Wwe been so bad that i am canceling the network(again) after this ppv.
I still enjoy the PPV's, because at least you get actual wrestling with it, but if they keep up the DQ finishes and predictable outcomes I might do the same.

Here's hoping that the reported power struggle between Triple H and Vince keeps getting more and more exposure. Triple H taking over and making it more like NXT would be a godsend. He may not have as many wrestlers and such to book, but man what they do down there is so much better it's insane. Every match feels huge
 
After 30 years Sky have lost the UK rights to WWE which will now be on BT
 
Some intriguing news claiming that Massaro was raped by US miltary troops and asked to be kept quiet by WWE.


WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley’s death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear.
At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In fact, if she ever articulated such a claim to WWE, we would have reported it immediately to the Base Commander.
At no time was there ever a meeting with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, John Laurinaitis or other company executives in which she told them of such a claim and was instructed to keep it quiet.



So yeah the claim is coming from her lawyer and doesn't sound like he was ever able to provide proof.
Not helped by her having known health issues and they made some pretty nasty claims. And I doubt she would have got in touch with them last year to make amends if they had covered that stuff up.
 
Still can't act and nearly jumped the gun at the 45 second mark. But sounds like it was a solid show.

Forgot to set my record. Anyone in the UK know if they had ad breaks or censored anything? C4 ruined WWE PPVs when they had 4 a year
