Guys, the NXT Show tomorrow, it's not going to air on the network is it?

No. :(

Unless they have some of it on the WM today show, but I don't see any indication of that anywhere.

[Dark One]

Really looking forward to the launch of Network.NXT.com

[Emperor Smeat]

NXT just had its Mania tournament for the final spot in the Andre match.

Hideo Itami beat Finn Balor in the finals

[Dark One]

Response:

That's a really surprising result, but I guess there'll probably be a pretty solid international crowd and they don't want to burn the debut of someone more ready to come up as a big deal on a throwaway battle royal on a preshow.

A GTS AT THE WRESTLEMANIA ARENA?

[Jordan]

I would really hate for him to lose this match. He needs a boost bigtime.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's a Battle Royal on a pre-show. I think you might be over thinking it, but it would be awesome if he won.

EAT SLEEP GTS REPEAT!
EAT SLEEP GTS REPEAT!

"ECW Public Enemy"

I likely should have specified that I meant Flyboy Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge as opposed to Chuck D, Flava Flav and Terminator-X. Didn't think it neccessary because Hip-Hop PE are not terrible rappers, nor did PG-13 try to emulate their success. They might have been around longer (I honestly don't know, but i'd think only slightly if this is true), but still come off as Wrestling PE also-rans with the baseball jerseys and eventually carrying tables.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>With Itami winning I'm starting to think that maybe that's why they bumped the battle royal to the pre-show. Trying to draw in the large Japanese market into at least tuning in to see him and hopefully subscribing to watch the whole PPV.</font>

[Volare]

Really was hoping Finn Balor was gonna win it, but really don't want his entrance on the pre-show.

Replace Triple H with another Blackman and MAYBE its a little more balanced.

Video of Sting working out for Mania: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152693745871479

[Jordan]

That was cool. I know it's super gay to say it but I hope Sting doesn't work with the T-Shirt. I saw Roman's workout, it was pretty weak, wasn't very impressed.

[Jordan]

I'm pumped for Sunday. Especially Sting vs Triple H. Sting has surprised me in every appearance so far, so I'm holding out hope. Also pumped for the IC Ladder match, and just the whole show in general. ITS FUCKING WRESTLEMANIA BABAY

[Damian Rey]

The yearly anticipation has finally set in. Don't know how recent that video is but Sting looked great.

[Dark One]

I'll chime in with finally feeling some excitement for Mania. The video packages and interviews from Smackdown and WrestleMania Today shows have done what pretty much the past twelve weeks of TV have abysmally failed at. The Wyatt/Taker video package was fantastic. The AJ/Paige/Bella promo segment actually made a Divas match have some emotional investment.

Then there was the video where they tried to promote the ladder match immediately after discussing its importance and legacy and used a yakety sax derivative. So. We won't speak of that.

BUT ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS have been pretty great. The sit down interviews with Rollins and Orton were great and succeeded at making some sense out of the weird angle.

WWE's video/music and production crews once again save the day.

[FourFifty]

I want to see Luke Harper bust out the mandible claw.

[#1-norm-fan]

Everyone who complains that the ending of WrestleMania 9 was so bad and then hopes Seth Rollins cashes in MITB to win the title at the end of WrestleMania 31 can fuck right off. Just a thought.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>While I think a cash in to end Mania isn't the best way to go, it'd still be nowhere near as egregious as WM9. At least Seth has a valid reason to do it, since MITB can be cashed in whenever.

WM9 was just Hogan demanding a match he didn't deserve and the heel stupidly agreeing to it despite having no real reason to do so.

I'm still predicting a Roman win with Seth coming out to try a cash in only to be Speared before the match can start or something.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Mr. Fuji actually used the title as bait to get Hogan in the ring with Yokozuna. The way it happened wasn't much more nonsensical than a guy having a contract to cash in that allows him to pin a man who is dead in the ring and win the biggest title in the company.

Also, I actually don't THINK there's any way they have Seth Rollins involved in the end of WrestleMania in any way. I was just noticing a lot of people calling for it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Hogan didn't even want the match. He was just out to help his good friend Bret Hart to the back.

[Jordan]

I think Seth leaves with the title. It's about time we got a Mania cash in. And if Roman leaves with the title, the show will be a bust.

Somehow I think the Rock gets involved to set up next year, Roman wins but gets killed by Brock and then Seth comes out.

[#1-norm-fan]

I only listened to the very beginning of this to get the gist of what you were trying to tell me. From that, I assume you're basically just calling me a "nigga". Brad won't like hearing about this blatant racism.

[Disturbed316]

A Mania cash in has to happen sooner or later, might as well make it this year if they really want Roman to beat Brock.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think Reigns gets his big moment at Mania with the win while Rollins cashes in the next night on RAW.

All depends on how the Orton-Rollins match is done and if Reigns wrestles the next night on RAW (rematch vs Lesnar or someone else).

[Lock Jaw]

A Mania cash in does not need to happen sooner or later, nor should it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Awesome acceptance from The Genius</font>

[Nicky Fives]

Nash in the main event!!!!! The Kliq lives!!!!

[Sepholio]

Nash going on last ^_^

Shoulda been Randy to be honest, but Nash is the greatest human being ever so this is an excellent alternative!

[rockman725]

Lanny should have gave Liz a mention....hard for many to think of Randy without her by his side.....

IMO, they should have gone in together.

[parkmania]

Ever since Hogan came out, my feed has gone to shit. It even went back and started replaying Daniel Bryan's speech. Gonna have to wait until a replay is available and watch the two speeches.

[Sepholio]

Love how the blurb on WWE for the stream says Randy and Arnold headline......EXCUSE ME BUT KEVIN DISAGREES :D:D:D

[Nicky Fives]

IMO, they should have gone in together.

I'd have understood them not going in it together if his wife was in attendance, but didn't seem like anyone but Lanny in the family wanted this....she might not ever get in now unfortunately.....

[Sepholio]

Who's your daddy and what does he do? LOLOLOL

[Dark One]

Arnold's speech should be nothing but one liners from his movies.

[Mercenary]

Whats wrong with Arnold's voice?

That's what he sounds like when he hasn't rehearsed lines hiding his accent to some degree.

aww yeah, time for the first ever Hall of Fame Hall of Famer. I heard the Network drew another 1.7m subscibers when Big Kev was announced

[Droford]

I'm not watching, forgot about it. Might be why it doesn't feel like the night before WM. Not really excited..eh

First time HBK has been hatless since last year

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>hahaha, I thought Mick was meant to be inducting Nash. Thought it was weird that it wasn't gonna be Hall or HBK.</font>

Nash sounds drunk

Kevin Nash rolls hard.

[Mercenary]

Rude in next year or riot

[Lock Jaw]

X-Pac gonna headline next year

[Nicky Fives]

Rude, Owen, Bulldog, Bigelow, Boss Man (among others) all names that could go in, but all have that one thing in common....

[Dark One]

I can't believe that in a Hall of Fame class with Macho Man in it that the fucking Bushwhackers were the highlight of the night.

[Jordan]

That was so long. Best speech I'd say Daniel Bryan and Dana Warrior. Lamest was Nash.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm inclined to think X-Pac never takes that bandana off. Probably even showers with it on.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Outside of Larry Z's speech being the "Mr T" of the year, the show was really good tonight.


I can't believe that in a Hall of Fame class with Macho Man in it that the fucking Bushwhackers were the highlight of the night.

Them getting as many Legends as possible to do that dance was the best. Even Bret Hart was like "eff it" and did it after a bit.

Weird when Shawn said he wasn't supposed to mention Vince McMahon.....

"Weird" that would be a "rule".... you'd think a lot of people would want to "thank him"....

[slik]

Kevin Nash is like The Big Lebowski of wrestling.

[James Steele]

Vince probably wants to avoid it seeming like everyone is kissing his ass.

[Evil Vito]

Weird when Shawn said he wasn't supposed to mention Vince McMahon.....

"Weird" that would be a "rule".... you'd think a lot of people would want to "thank him"....

<font color=goldenrod>I've seen that rumored the last several HOF ceremonies. Vince doesn't want anyone thanking him as he thinks it would sound disingenuous.

Supposedly he's also said he won't accept ever going into the HOF himself. If he goes in it'll be after he dies.</font>

Lex Luger could have been the biggest thing the industry has ever seen. Damn shame he did enough drugs to kill a killer whale.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Larry's speech was perfectly fine. Jericho was mad that he couldn't use the Name Living Legend because he didn't ask either Bruno or Larry for permission before using it. Jericho was in the wrong.

[ron the dial]

there was an old, smart guy named sigmund freud, and sigmund came up with the idea that dreams become the reality of your wishes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rikishi set off the right with a great passionate speech and I have to say this is probably the best Hall of Fame Ceremony in a long time (possibly ever.)

I'd say the Dana Warrior/Daniel Bryan/Father was the highlight of the show. Followed by Lanny Poffo's poems and acceptance speech for the Macho Man.

I loved Madusa's speech and how defiant she was about what she did and the legacy. Wished she had talked "give divas a chance", but it was really awesome.

Larry's was good even though he got a little bit off track. Loved his message about his dream and to make sure everybody follows theirs.

Bushwackers was really good as well. Really loved that they didn't buy into the WWE video packages that disregarded so much of their career. The Flag Bearer did a great job introducing him.

Nash wasn't that great because of time restraints still good for what it was and the time they were given to wrap up the show.

Tatsumi should have also been allowed to say something in Japanese too. Flair really should have spoken a big longer since he knew Tats wouldn't be able to say much clearly in English.

[Fignuts]

Bushwackers had me in tears.

So good.

[Volare]

What a fucking moron!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Around this time of the year I get to thinking about future HOF inductees, and I wanted to look and see who on the current roster might get in.

Based on who WWE has listed in the "Current" section of their roster on WWE.com, I could see all of the following going in at some point:

Big Show
Brock Lesnar
Chris Jericho
Christian
Goldust
JBL
John Cena
Kane
Mark Henry
Mr. McMahon
Paul Heyman
Randy Orton
The Rock
Stephanie McMahon
Sting
Triple H
The Undertaker
William Regal
Zeb Colter

Many of them would appear to be locks already based on resumes alone so barring them pissing off the office they have a great chance at being inducted. If they want to continue to induct a woman every year they're bound to run low on candidates eventually, and Steph is definitely deserving assuming they don't mind putting in more McMahon family members. Vince has said he will never agree to go into the HOF himself but I couldn't help but put him on the list anyway...probably would be a posthumous induction, but I mean...it's fucking Vince.

A bunch of them spent a lot of time in the main event. I seem to remember a debate on here a few months back about the merits of Christian as a HOFer. Personally I believe they'll put him in as a midcard induction one year, ditto for Henry and Goldust in different classes. Lots of longevity there. Regal too, actually. He was always excellent, respected by everybody, and has been an asset both in and out of the ring.

Zeb, I imagine, would go in a few years after his character ends on TV and they'd just put him in as Dutch Mantell. With WWE not being afraid to bring up history outside of their own company he really contributed in a lot of different ways around the wrestling world.

Brock I guess would be slightly controversial given that he only was on the roster full-time for 2 years, but when all is said and done he'll have main evented multiple Manias, broke the Streak, had lengthy title runs, been a draw for a different audience, etc.</font>

I actually think you are setting the bar quite high. I think other almost certainties would be The Miz (headlined Mania, WWE Champ, IC Champ), Sheamus (WWE Champ, office fav) and people like Ziggler and Swagger have already accomplished more than the likes of Rikishi, so a decent future on the roster should secure their places some day too.

Can't imagine anyone begrudging Brock with all he has done and the media attention he has garnered. He is a lock for me.

Would love to see the Dudley's back for a final run, now they are unattached, it would be a shot in the arm to the tag division and could induct them alongr with a last TLC match at Mania next year.

Are you talking about Larry Csonka's Pro Football Hall of Fame speech? That's the only way I can imagine that sentence making sense as you typed it.

Should probably have spoiler alert on that for people who haven't watched Mania yet but are dumb enough to come to an internet wrestling forum and open up a thread.

[Droford]

Watching the HOF, Jimmy Uso is clearly the HBK of the Usos.

Also Rikishi amentioning Manu and getting Zero reaction from the crowd was funny

[Droford]

I'm sure EvanKaragias appreciated Madusa reminding everyone he existed

[Tazz Dan]

Come on guys, I know the show has been on and stuff, but you know the corteous rule. No "Spoilers" for 48 hours for those who may not have seen the show yet. Some posters still come on the forum to talk in other threads and don't want things being ruined, it's always been the rule here, and I'll make sure that it is continued to be followed.

Why do I feel like there are threads randomly disappearing in this forum lately? Hmm...

[Jordan]

I'm so pumped for RAW tonight. After pulling out all the stops last night, I am curious to see what surprises are in store for us.

[Innovator]

What I expect:

Rollins being treated as a conquering hero.

Sheamus Brogue Kicking Bryan.

What I want:

Demon Balor

[Jordan]

Would be interesting if Sheamus goes after Cena, leaving Bryan to feud with Ziggler and Bad News. Though I am expecting Cena and Rusev to have a match at Extreme Rules.

[Jordan]

I also really hope that at some point in the next three years they book a solid program with Orton and Lesnar.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want to see Jericho vs. Lesnar, with Brock being pissed off Jericho invented the Money in the Bank gimmick that cost him the title. :shifty:

This would be awesome, but for some reason it made me imagine a Bayley dressed up a bit like Harley Quinn playing a psycho-heel character.
