WrestleMania 34 - OFFICIAL hype and discussion thread

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Nia winning only because Alexa constantly being a champion or in every title feud got stale fast.

[Shadrick]

fuck yall, nias titties lookin good in that outfit

[Destor]

feel like that was a better match then people are giving it credit for

Nah, crowd was dead. And rightfully so. Rough pacing. Terrible baby. Bliss did what she could.

[Dark One]

So we're at 12 min for aj nak...yeah?

Including entrances.

[Ben Rodrigues]

I hear the Rock's daughter wants to get into wrestling.

[Droford]

That super samoan drop was brutal

[Destor]

Different is code for fat

[Fignuts]

everyones elbows bleeding tonight

[Shadrick]

Asuka wouldn’t fucking cry.

I missed you bro, where you been?

[KIRA]

Not trying to be mean I'm just curious is she going to borrow Mark Henry's belt extender

[Triple A]

Good call RP (not.........)

[Destor]

Pnillips wont shame me into caring about a shit baby

[Fignuts]

RP loses

[Ben Rodrigues]

Closing Wrestlemania with boos! Or maybe Daniel Bryan chants!

[Dark One]

Can't wait for the Tanahashi and Suzuki run ins.

[KIRA]

I still say Bruan is going to be his own partner Crush both built together into one and wear them to the ring

[Savio]

Braun Strowman match must be the main event.

[Dark One]

Closing Wrestlemania with boos! Or maybe Daniel Bryan chants!

I would lose my shit if they chanted "Daniel Bryan" through the entirety of the main event.

[DAMN iNATOR]

everyones elbows bleeding tonight

Yeah really. I noticed that too. What gives?

[Vastardikai]

No nepotism in the women's division at all.

:shifty:

[Evil Vito]

I'm still thinking this will be around 20 minutes

Bar/Braun/Big Show will be like 5 minutes tops

Main event 15-20 minutes

Show ends around 12:15 Eastern

[Shadrick]

I still say Bruan is going to be his own partner then combine both belts and wear them to the ring

I'd mark. hard.


or if it was Ellsworth. But I'm just talking.

[owenbrown]

gonna be a helluva overrun

[slik]

People dressed as Shinsuke lining the ramp

[Droford]

Nita Strauss doing Nakamura's theme is gonna be crazy

[owenbrown]

NWA & TNA references :eek:

[DAMN iNATOR]

I get the feeling Braun and Mystery Partner may get bumped off tonight in the name of time.

[Shadrick]

No nepotism in the women's division at all.

:shifty:

In fairness, Charlottes really good at what she does.

[Dark One]

I get the feeling Braun and Mystery Partner may get bumped off tonight in the name of time.

Good luck telling Braun that.

[James Steele]

I missed you bro, where you been?

I lurk quite a bit, but this whole adulting thing has me busy.

[DAMN iNATOR]

NWA & TNA references :eek:

Rap is crap. :shifty:

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Nakamura getting the live music treatment for his entrance

[GD]

This is the most invested I’ve seen Shinsuke

[Bad News Gertner]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZzArDkWAAEJ45C?format=jpg

[Dark One]

Someone please record footage of Suzuki and Tana marking out in a skybox.

[Ruien]

I get the feeling Braun and Mystery Partner may get bumped off tonight in the name of time.

This is why no one likes you.

[KIRA]

It's not an orchestra but it's close enough damn it

[DAMN iNATOR]

Good luck telling Braun that.

Especially if Bubba's his tag partner... right?

[Dark One]

I'm honestly stunned this is the semi-main. Totally expected it to curtain jerk.

[James Steele]

Remember the last few years the show ran to damn near 11pm CAT. They will give this March 30 minutes, the tag match about 10, and Brock/Reigns 10-15.

[Shadrick]

I lurk quite a bit, but this whole adulting thing has me busy.

I feel you more than you know. I work about 60 hours a week on top of working on writing a tv show.

But somehow I find time for rasslinnnnn

[Dark One]

Hell yeah, even got a good sized YEAOH

[Evil Vito]

Fuck it, going dark for this match. Just gonna enjoy this one.

[Destor]

Naks entrance was legit amazing

[owenbrown]

Nita Strauss doing Nakamura's theme is gonna be crazy

LaKbvmetj1g

[Droford]

It's not an orchestra but it's close enough damn it
ITS NITA STRAUSS

[Dark One]

Let them go 40, have Braun squash Cesaro/Sheamus in 90 seconds, and give Brock / Roman 5-10. DO IT.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Such a creepy man.

[rez]

this makes me hard

[KIRA]

Nita Strauss whew

Kid rock can eat a dick

[Destor]

Match needs 25

[Dark One]

See you all on the other side unless this goes 10 minuets in which case I will see you in hell.

[Emperor Smeat]

This should be the rendition for Nakamura's theme going forward.

[DAMN iNATOR]

This is why no one likes you.

What? I'm just saying. I mean, logistically speaking, if they want to give this and the Universal Championship due time, it could happen. I didn't say I want it to. Relax.

[Ben Rodrigues]

AJ Styles graphic - Universal Champion. Spoliers?

[Dark One]

Oh hey

AJ Styles is Universal Champion.

Grats to AJ on being double champ

[owenbrown]

AJ Styles is the Universal Champion? :lol:

[tman220]

didn't know he was the universal champion

[KIRA]

Vince must really like A.J Styles he gave him a pyro show

[Stickman]

I do not “get” Nakamura. Without a humalong song I don’t think he is anything special. Do something!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the graphics both for AJ Styles

[Dark One]

Laser circle is dope

[Dark One]

Okay.

NOW see you on the other side.

[rez]

:rofl:

[DaveWadding]

Shinsuke wins entrance of the night.

[Destor]

Last year aJ was responsible with fluffing Shanes ego. This yesr he gets to work at wrestle mania with an equal. Happy for him

[owenbrown]

The fans need to really stop saying "ONE FALL!"

[Droford]

The lasers remind me of when they did the light shows in the ring in the mid 90s

[KIRA]

The crowds going to be too drained to boo Roman but they will also be too drained to cheer

[Ben Rodrigues]

I see Nakamura has taken a page out of Shawn Michaels' Wrestlemania 12 book and lined his gear with gold.

[slik]

AJ and Shinsuke both got the loudest pops of the night, by far, live

[OssMan]

Who wonnthe royal rumble this year

[GD]

Oh hey

AJ Styles is Universal Champion.

Grats to AJ on being double champ

He was the US Champion a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown.

[Emperor Smeat]

The crowds going to be too drained to boo Roman but they will also be too drained to cheer

WWE thought the same for the past couple years but fans proved them wrong every time.

[Splaya]

This ppv has been great. But this is the only match I thought could rival Garganus and ciampa from last night. Settle in boys

[RaginRonic]

Happy that Taker won.

=)

[Triple A]

Who wonnthe royal rumble this year

Shinsuke Nakamura

Asuka won the women's Royal Rumble

[Ruien]

AJ and Shinsuke both got the loudest pops of the night, by far, live

BOO. I like when Rusev had the loudest.

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a great counter to Styles Phenomenal Forearm.

[Triple A]

idk about this... pretty tired maybe

[owenbrown]

Alright time to bring out the Styles Clash

[GD]

Wow! I wasn’t expecting that finishing sequence. Pretty cool.

[GD]

idk about this... pretty tired maybe

Yeah mate! I haven’t slept. It’s 8:40 AM here.

[owenbrown]

wow Vince giving a big fuck you to his Royal Rumble winners

[OssMan]

Shinsuke Nakamura

Asuka won the women's Royal Rumble

Oh right

[Destor]

It was good but no one will call it their best match

[KIRA]

Well as far as I'm concerned that was the main event Gents

[Triple A]

Really hungry also... will eat the leftover pizza I have after the show is over

[OssMan]

tired

[James Steele]

Surprised they went with AJ, but I like it.

[KIRA]

It was good but no one will call it their best match

True they've had better but still good

[Dark One]

Happy AJ Styles got to retain the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania and really cement himself as one of the greatest of all time.

Solid match, but felt like it was just really kicking into that Mania gear when it ended.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow wasn't expecting Styles to actually win.

So much for the idea WWE would cater to Japan for Mania. Also 0 for 2 on Rumble winners taking the belt today.

[GD]

Whoa! Shinsuke with a fucking low blow :eek:

[Emperor Smeat]

Happy AJ Styles got to retain the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania and really cement himself as one of the greatest of all time.

Solid match, but felt like it was just really kicking into that Mania gear when it ended.

Yeah this and the Smackdown Women's match felt like they had another 5-10 minutes left before suddenly ending.

[Dark One]

Now Suzuki runs in.

[Evil Vito]

HOLY SHIT NAKAMURA HEEL TURN

[DAMN iNATOR]

Disappointed they didn't pull the trigger on Nakamura. Tonight totally should've been his night.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nakamura must have studied the Jericho-HBK Mania match on what to do if Styles crushed his dreams.

[owenbrown]

heel turn :D

[James Steele]

WRESTLEMANIA HEEL TURN!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!

[Triple A]

Nice... really good... feel like I care about Nakamura like 50-100x more now

[Fignuts]

YES

CHAOS IN WWE

LETS FUCKING GO

[Dark One]

As a heel Nakamura gonna strong style the shit out of some people.

[Stickman]

Finally he did something

[OssMan]

I wonder why shinsuke nakamura hates aj styles

[Destor]

Nice

[Dark One]

OH FUCK.

BOYS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!

HEEL NAKAMURA VS UBER FACE D-BRY

[Savio]

Heel Nak could be cool.

[Dark One]

OH FUCK.

BOYS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!

HEEL NAKAMURA VS UBER FACE D-BRY

https://media.giphy.com/media/l2Je5IMLrZSbFD63S/giphy.gif

[owenbrown]

why the fuck didn't Asuka turn heel like this?

[KIRA]

Nakamura taking the evil Foreigner route and oh s*** we are in for it

[OssMan]

Announcers shut tge hell up for beatdown

[Dark One]

Suzuki probably rubbing himself in a skybox right now.

[Droford]

Baron Corbin like..why the fuck did I waste my cash in

[rez]

oh my

[KIRA]

AJ you got your belt Sun but you also got kneed in the f****** face

[OssMan]

what

why are they having a royal rumble in saudi arabia in 3 weeks

[A.J.K]

Wonder who the big surprise returns/debuts for Raw and SD are going to be?

[Droford]

Have they done a WM 35 hype promo yet?

[Triple A]

what

why are they having a royal rumble in saudi arabia in 3 weeks

Shitty Saudi Arabia paid them like 983258952389523 million dollars

[Fignuts]

make sure to get your copy of wwe 2k 18 today folks!

[A.J.K]

LOL

[owenbrown]

:lol: Sheamus & Cesaro

[James Steele]

Would have lost the bet on The Bar coming out on a Mardi Gras float.

[Savio]

What did Corey say about a hurricane?

[KIRA]

What the hell New Orleans is a bizarre ass City

[Dark One]

ELLSWORTH OR RIOT

[James Steele]

Braun is going to fuck up the float and the guy in the jester outfit.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Is this Wrestlemania going to be Shawn Michaels-less?!

[James Steele]

ELLSWORTH GETTING RELEASED WAS A WORK FOR WRESTLEMANIA

[Droford]

Bar buds

[rez]

no big show plz no big show

[Dark One]

Braun's entrance now greatest of all time.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really hope Braun randomly grabs one of those characters on the stage just to be his tag partner. They don't even need to do anything during the match.

[Evil Vito]

AJ lost his first Mania match.
Sting lost his first Mania match.
Bryan lost his first Mania match.
All three members of the Shield lost their first singles Mania matches.
And now Asuka and Nakamura have lost their first Mania match.

Asuka losing surprised me, but Nakamura losing didn't. This is how WWE books of late. Most everybody loses their first Mania shot.

[owenbrown]

:lol: they are scared shitless of Braun

[Savio]

Loll

[Fignuts]

What did Corey say about a hurricane?

It's a drink, and it's extremely dangerous.

[Emperor Smeat]

AJ lost his first Mania match.
Sting lost his first Mania match.
Bryan lost his first Mania match.
All three members of the Shield lost their first singles Mania matches.
And now Asuka and Nakamura have lost their first Mania match.

Asuka losing surprised me, but Nakamura losing didn't. This is how WWE books of late. Most everybody loses their first Mania shot.

Same for anyone getting the live music treatment usually ends up losing because of some odd reason in Vince's mind.

[Emperor Smeat]

If Braun says "Little Jimmy", does that count as a legal tag partner?

[Dark One]

Is John Cena back in the crowd now

[Dark One]

It's gonna be Lock Jaw's favorite fan

[Dark One]

Is it gonna be Rob Gronkowski

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to assume everyone backstage said no out of fear of what happens if Braun lost the tag match.

[Dark One]

I think I saw Santa in the crowd. Maybe it'll be Santa.

[DAMN iNATOR]

WHO WANTS TO TAG...WITH BRAUN STROWMAN?!

[Savio]

"Will the person in section 112 row C seat 23 come forward"

[Dark One]

Maybe it'll be the guy whose crutches Ciampa stole last night.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the guy with a beer in his hand following Braun around.

[James Steele]

Holy shit, what is Stone Cold doing in the crowd?!

[Dark One]

Should've picked Air Bud

[Fignuts]

It's POIT!

[Evil Vito]

Braun should've looked for Suzuki

[DAMN iNATOR]

:lol:

[Triple A]

androgynous kid

[Dark One]

lol

"I've been a tag team champion too. No one cares. Cole's undefeated at Wrestlemania. No one cares."

[Dark One]

Going to lose my shit when Cesaro giant swings the kid for 5 minutes.

[Savio]

What about the Paige rule?

[Dark One]

Braun Strowman is for the children.

[owenbrown]

the fuck?

[Destor]

Strowman had all dayto find a mark but he waits for the show to find someone. Ultimate procrastinator

[rez]

will this child get dvd royalties ?

[KIRA]

Nothing to worry about Bruan is going to eat them and then pass him a belt

[Dark One]

What the fuck has John Cena ever done?

Shook hands with sick kids and signed shit?

BRAUN STROWMAN IS GOING TO WIN A KID A WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd is going to pop harder for the hot tag to the kid than they did for Bryan and Ronda combined.

[Fignuts]

thought it was a girl

[slik]

We want Nicholas

[Dark One]

Cannot wait for #WOKEN Matt Hardy + Lord Maxell vs Braun + Nicholas.

[Evil Vito]

I'm okay with this but would've preferred Hawkins just to have another streak end in New Orleans.

[Fignuts]

lol what if the kid turns on braun

[Dark One]

Cesaro definitely going to knock Braun into the corner and make Nicholas accidentally tag himself in, then he's going to to Cesaro swing the kid until Wrestlemania 40

[Destor]

Tag the kid in if youre so brave braun

[Savio]

Nikolas is gonna get so much pussy tomorrow.

[Dark One]

lol what if the kid turns on braun

That only happens when they lose the belts in 2040.

[DAMN iNATOR]

thought it was a girl

Same.

[James Steele]

Nicholas must be Kevin Dunn’s nephew or something.

[Destor]

Cesaro giving the kid the sktink eye

[Dark One]

Please note that Nicholas now has more Wrestlemania matches than Lance Storm and Brian Pillman combined.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Lawsuit in the making.

[GD]

This is so fucking adorable

[slik]

You deserve it

[Destor]

Lol wut

[Fignuts]

what the fuck is even going on right now

[KIRA]

The WWE is going to copyright Nicholas name so he can't legally use it anywhere else

[Dark One]

Nicholas now has more WWE title reigns than Sting.

[Evil Vito]

Rene Dupree is no longer the youngest champion in WWE history.

[BigCrippyZ]

Nicholas must be Kevin Dunn’s nephew or something.

:lol:

I could see Dunn and Dunn's nephew being both pathetic enough to need his fuck face of an uncle to buy him some pussy and him actually doing it.

[Destor]

Cant be legal lol

[Emperor Smeat]

So does this kid get a Mania pay day for actually being in a match?

[Triple A]

lol

[Destor]

On a federal level

[owenbrown]

the fuck?! :lol:

[Droford]

kid isnt holding the tag rope

[Destor]

Lulz

[Dark One]

Nicholas has now held a WWE title for longer than Kazuchika Okada.

[Destor]

We can retire tjose belts now

[Dark One]

Nicholas has more wins in WWE than Curt Hawkins this year.

[Vastardikai]

Connor "The Crusher" (R.I.P.) beat Triple H.

[RP]

I was waiting for Nicholas to go into business for himself.

[Destor]

Nicolas merch incoming

[DAMN iNATOR]

I can't wait until next year when a random child beats Roman for the Universal Championship.

[Loose Cannon]

i hope they list him on Wikipedia as tag champ in the history now

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Braun honestly seems like he's loving this. Mad retarded though.

[Savio]

Gallows & Anderson are gonna make Nikolas do a line of coke.

[A.J.K]

That was just silly lol

[Vastardikai]

Nicholas has held a title in WWE longer than Jake "The Snake" Roberts

[Poit]

I have no idea what that was, but the crowd was into it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nicholas has more wins in WWE than Curt Hawkins this year.

Hawkins is going to demand a match with that kid for 1/2 of RAW's tag belt. Maybe even Hawkins puts his career on the line to spice up interest for the match.

[RP]

Nicholas now gets PPV royalties. Sucks for the Pre Show wrestlers.

[Dark One]

Nicholas now has as many Wrestlemania victories as Bill Goldberg.

[KIRA]

The one thing that hurts me about fans is that they don't realize that in order to hurt Vince and get it through his head that you ate Roman Reigns is just walk out or turn your back or just be completely silent

[Gerard]

:wtf:

[Nicky Fives]

I am ashamed of my own name now....

[Vastardikai]

Braun honestly seems like he's loving this. Mad retarded though.

No. It's brilliant!

I hope he has a different kid be his partner tomorrow.

[BigCrippyZ]

:lol:

Let's be honest, IF Vince, Bischoff, Russo, etc., hadn't made a joke of the industry and the titles previously, (which THEY ALL DID in their own ways)... let's just admit that this just did it.

[Loose Cannon]

time to finally crown Reigns

[slik]

Crowd already booing both guys during the video package

[Frank Drebin]

Can't decide if I want the crowd to shit on this match or not. I don't really care I guess. Would be great if 60% just got up and left.

[OssMan]

didnt wrestlemania used to be in march

[Evil Vito]

This is gonna wind up being a Freebird Rule thing where every 10 year old kid in the world is eligible to team with Braun.

[Emperor Smeat]

i hope they list him on Wikipedia as tag champ in the history now

He's listed right now although no links to the kid's page to read up on his glorious history as a wrestler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Raw_Tag_Team_Champions

[A.J.K]

Only a double turn could save this match.

[RP]

Tomorrow he shows up to Raw as Big Dick Nick

[Loose Cannon]

they did everything they could to make Reigns get cheered in this angle. let's see how they react

[Dark One]

Nicholas has more Wrestlemania wins than Stephanie McMahon.

[Frank Drebin]

I wonder what Vince thinks about the American Football Alliance.

[Savio]

I am ashamed of my own name now....

Stop lying we all know it was you on the apron.

[KIRA]

Can't decide if I want the crowd to shit on this match or not. I don't really care I guess. Would be great if 60% just got up and left.
We are on the same page at this point I would feel like I got my money's worth and then some and fucking leave

[Loose Cannon]

He's listed right now although no links to the kid's page to read up on his glorious history as a wrestler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Raw_Tag_Team_Champions

:y::y:

[Vastardikai]

Out comes VInce McMahon, I have decided to add a THIRD competitor to this match.

*Brock and Roman are confused.*

Ladies and Gentlemen... the THIRD competitor....

*"Kaze Ni Nare" blares.*

[Dark One]

https://i.redd.it/rit70wf10tq01.jpg

[Frank Drebin]

Nicholas has ZERO rep points @ tpww though.

[Poit]

Nicholas's Tag Team Championship reign is now longer than Seth Rollins's second WWE Championship reign.

[owenbrown]

This guy commits a federal offense or at the very least a felony, and he still gets a title shot :shifty:

[DAMN iNATOR]

i hope they list him on Wikipedia as tag champ in the history now

LOL, they do (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_Raw_Tag_Team_Champions).

[Emperor Smeat]

The one thing that hurts me about fans is that they don't realize that in order to hurt Vince and get it through his head that you ate Roman Reigns is just walk out or turn your back or just be completely silent

Vince wouldn't care since he still would have gotten their money and he'd make some mental gymnastics excuse to claim the crowds came for Reigns.

Only way to get Vince to really change is for people to stop buying tickets to RAW and/or Network numbers suffer a huge decrease.

[Dark One]

What I was thinking yeah. They'll grab a different kid every night to defend the tag titles.

[Evil Vito]

I'd rather see another Nicholas match than a Brock Lesnar match if I'm completely honest

[RP]

Not sure Nicholas realizes how much pussy he'll be getting once he gets into high school now.

[Ruien]

That was some. Love Braun. I figured Elsworth was going to be in the crowd. Wonder if Braun found some kid at Access or something this weekend.

[James Steele]

Even with Brock leaving and their attempts to make Roman appears to be “not Vince’s boy”, he’ll still get boo’d out of the building. I just wonder if this will be like WMXX with Goldberg/Lesnar or people just booing Reigns in the end.

[Triple A]

didnt wrestlemania used to be in march

Sometimes at the end of March and sometimes in the beginning of April!

[KIRA]

Needs more cowbell.
