[#1-norm-fan]

How the fuck is Seth Rollins vs Cesaro a WrestleMania match? Jesus Fuck.

[#1-norm-fan]

We’ve found the most bleak timeline in the story of pro wrestling and decided to run full steam ahead.

[#1-norm-fan]

“WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax vs ‘winners of the tag team turmoil match’”

“Welcome back from a long, gruelling year of isolation the likes of which you’ve never seen. Here’s your reward.”

[GD]

How the fuck is Seth Rollins vs Cesaro a WrestleMania match? Jesus Fuck.

Not sure how this is surprising? They've been building it up for a while.

[Emperor Smeat]

How the fuck is Seth Rollins vs Cesaro a WrestleMania match? Jesus Fuck.

The build for it has actually been one of the very few good builds for Mania.

Sure it started late into Road to Mania but it hasn't been shit nor quickly gone south like almost all of the builds for Mania have been.

[Lock Jaw]

Whoa at Cesaro getting a singles WM match against such a big name....

I know it is two nights and all, but Rollins is a "if it was one night he would definitely be booked" kinda guy...

[Lock Jaw]

I remember when AJ Styles was a big deal.... he has fallen a long way since his long title run....

[slik]

Honestly, Shane vs Braun in a cage match is the real wtf match. It's been the worst feud of 2021 thus far.

[Lock Jaw]

I remember when Braun seemed like he was going to be a big deal...

[Damian Rey 2.0]

How did Bryan get himself into the title match against Edge and Reigns?

[Emperor Smeat]

Basically he was feuding with Reigns while the Reigns vs. Edge feud was simmering and baited Reigns into a title match at Elimination Chamber.

That led to Bryan getting screwed out of winning the Universal title by Edge which then led to Adam Pearce making the Universal title match at Mania a Triple Threat match.

According to the sheets, the non-storyline reason for that match becoming a Triple Threat was due to WWE getting cold feet on the idea of Edge vs. Reigns, especially if its a long match, and fear of the crowd cheering for Reigns instead of Edge.

[Rammsteinmad]

There's probably three matches I care about. The rest is meh.

Use to be a time that Wrestlemania was the best of the best. Now it's just an over-long opportunity to get everyone on the card.

You could take the best matches from both nights and put that into one night, and you'd still get an average PPV at best.

[drave]

looks like Tamina and Natalya were face swapped in that poster.

[Jordan]

There is that Mania nostalgia running through my veins right now. I'd really like to watch and enjoy Mania this year. I did click on Raw last week and saw Riddle vs Ali and I really enjoyed the match, they worked great together. I'm sure Riddle vs Sheamus will be a solid bout. But, it's a busy weekend, UFC on Saturday and American Idol's first live vote elimination on Sunday so I just don't see myself peeling away from my routine to invest time into this show. The vast majority of it doesn't interest me but I am curious about things. The look, the vibe with live fans for the first time since last year, if there is any kind of Mania Awe. Still a bit torn, I am not subbing to Peacock but I may end up putting a stream on my laptop and watching in the background of my other plans.

[slik]

Stephanie McMahon confirmed Sasha vs Bianca will close night 1

It's expected Drew vs Lashley will open the show

[Jordan]

Stephanie McMahon confirmed Sasha vs Bianca will close night 1

Stephanie McMahon *Helmsley

[Emperor Smeat]

That would mean Sasha really did spoil this announcement earlier in the week based on several interviews she had. First she mentioned how her match deserved to main event Night 1 over the WWE title match because of the historic nature of it being the first time two African American women would main event a Mania show. Then she flat out said it would main event the show in 1-2 other interviews.

[xrodmuc316]

Stephanie McMahon confirmed Sasha vs Bianca will close night 1

It's expected Drew vs Lashley will open the show

I am ok with it because once it goes back to the normal 1 day Manias, it will be really hard to justify a female main event aside from the one on one Becky/Ronda match we never got.

It also allows WWE to use that accolade for Sasha and Bianca for the rest of their careers.

Feel a bit bad for Lashley, but not closing the show probably gives him more of a chance of retaining.

[Evil Vito]

The night 1 opener is probably viewed as a bigger deal internally than the night 1 main tbh since it’s that first spot in front of fans after a year

Makes sense to give Drew that moment

[Emperor Smeat]

They probably are going to give that first big crowd cheer spot to Hogan instead since him and Titus are the hosts this year.

[xrodmuc316]

Random thought, it is kind of funny they keep hyping up Bianca as the young upstart, when she is like 3 years older than Sasha :rofl:

[Evil Vito]

Becky’s posted a not so subtle IG post teasing a Night 1 return. But it’s not the first time she’s trolled about a possible return.

That said, wouldn’t at all surprise me if her and Charlotte waltzed out to win the Turmoil match since I can’t really see anyone in the current match being someone they’d want to actually book twice in the weekend.

[Evil Vito]

Random thought, it is kind of funny they keep hyping up Bianca as the young upstart, when she is like 3 years older than Sasha :rofl:

In fairness, it's a reference to experience. Sasha's been on the main roster for a long time and has won a lot of gold, Bianca's just completing her first year on the main roster.

Yeah Bianca's older but WWE hasn't brought up the ages of their wrestlers in a long time, and if you look at the average age of the main roster it's not hard to see why.

It's hardly a WWE exclusive thing, guys wrestle a lot longer now. But drawing attention to the fact that there's almost nobody on the roster under 30 doesn't really add any value.

True, the last time I Remember was Ronda cutting a promo about how Becky and her generation are stupid, which was gold since their age difference is 2 days lol.

[Triple A]

Mostly excited about seeing a live crowd again... though the crowds at big stadium WrestleManias usually haven't sounded great in recent years

Wooooo!

[screech]

Also that set looks v cool :y:

[Lock Jaw]

Was not aware that there would be real fans at this.....

Over/under on the first chant being WE ARE AWESOME?

[Evil Vito]

I hope Orton and The Fiend get booed out of the building.

[xrodmuc316]

I hope Orton and The Fiend get booed out of the building.

I almost wonder if they are still going to do a cinematic match even with the crowd there. After all the special effects buildup, I don't see how they can just have a regular match.

[Volare]

Fiend should come out with a giant flame gun.

I think it will be in-ring



Drones were tested that spell out Let Me In, among other things, Friday night over RJ Stadium

[erickman]

wonder how much rain they will get tonight may be ok but tomorow will be bad.

[OssMan]

wait this shit starts tonight? wtf i have to babysit

[Emperor Smeat]

Based on a recent interview with the Miami Herald, Booker T will be doing guest commentary for one of the matches at WrestleMania.

He didn't specify which match at the time though.

[slik]

In addition to being booted from RAW going forward Tom Phillips will not be on commentary for WM due to a possible Covid interaction.

[slik]

wait this shit starts tonight? wtf i have to babysit

yeah, it goes back to 1 night again next year

[slik]

Looks like it might be a 1 night WM after all...

[Emperor Smeat]

What is everyone eating

Just a burger and some fries from McDonalds.

[erickman]

The stream on Peacock still seems like 720p... looks like shit

[Emperor Smeat]

So how long till Draft Kings starts to scale back on the prize pool and gambling allowed for WWE shows?

Last time that was left unchecked by casinos and bookies, it led to WWE employees abusing the system to pocket some really easy money on the side.

[Jordan]

I wish Booker T was actually commentating on the show. I can't stand WWE announcers but he is far better than whoever they have now.

He is awful on the pre-show but would def be like 9237898735789352x better than Byron Saxton and basically every other commentator because he seems like he would at least be different and is harder to be "corralled" into the horrible WWE style

we will get real promos tonight

tell us what a drum match is big e

You would think if a small time promotion like AEW could figure out how to have outdoor shows in Florida for an entire year, WWE could figure out how to do it for one weekend.

I guess we know who the real minor league fed is.

LMAO I don't know why, but Joe in a poncho is hilarious.

They’re in ponchos and fans aren’t in their seats but now we’re starting in 5 minutes?

The one on a losing streak with a man child running it, clearly.

[Emperor Smeat]

Never knew Kevin Owens was a robot.

Either that or WWE might be worrying even more now with the double whammy of bad weather and audio equipment about to break at any moment.

Lmao imagine if these matches all end up being like 5 minutes instead of doing an overrun.

I bet this won’t even be the last delay we see tonight. Gonna be weird to have a match need to be stopped midway through.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The one on a losing streak with a man child running it, clearly.

That’s Mr. McMahon to you, bub.

[Evil Vito]

I’m rooting for the production and audio to even further go to hell and then Kevin Dunn is fired and we all can briefly ignore social distancing to hold hands and sing hallelujah.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at more audio botches during this rain delay.


They’re in ponchos and fans aren’t in their seats but now we’re starting in 5 minutes?

If I were them, I'd probably cancel the steel cage match for safety reasons.

Rain or not, the conditions are not going to be completely safe to do it tonight.

[Triple A]

Praying they can't get Saxton's mic fixed......

[Triple A]

f*ck

[Evil Vito]

If an errant lightning bolt were to strike at this point, there's a person with a metal hip that would make a lovely target.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at Titus and not Hogan getting the special first entrance back with fans treatment.

[Triple A]

Wonder if they're still gonna be piping in crowd noise and chants

[Loose Cannon]

this is such a cluster fuck and i love it

[Evil Vito]

Imagining if this had happened two years ago when I was with 82,000 people at MetLife Stadium. Us all cramming into the corridors probably would’ve given me a full blown panic attack.

[GD]

:nono: @ Hogan calling Titus brother :roll:

[Jordan]

LOL Hogan is such a tard

[Jordan]

It looks like Crown Jewel but it does kinda feel like MANIA BABAY

[GD]

Looks like they're sweetening the crowd reaction.

[dronepool]

Tony Khan made it rain.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if they're still gonna be piping in crowd noise and chants

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they do so.

The crowd is loud and active enough that they don't need to run a fake crowd track non-stop during the whole show but no reason why they wouldn't spice up certain moments to get the exact crowd reactions they want.

[slik]

I like Saxton's suit

[GD]

Lashley's new entrance scheme is fucking awesome.

[Jordan]

Go get'em Bobby!

Hopefully they just kick the shit out of each other lime the drew vs Sheamus matches

[Jordan]

Camera ringside looks pretty damn cool.

[Jordan]

The setup all around is one of the all time best that I can remember.

[GD]

Masks aren't mandatory :nono:

[Triple A]

McIntyre is cool... glad they went through with pushing him this much when he returned and didn't "ruin him"

[Emperor Smeat]

Maybe its just the way it looks on tv but the front row section opposite the hard cam looks way more packed than it should be with people.

They did the social distance spacing for the upper seats but doesn't look that way on tv for the ringside crowd area.

[Triple A]

The stadium feels kinda small with how they're lighting things tbh... feels kinda like a "WWE Fastlane" when there were fans

[GD]

Just noticed the commentary team standing relatively close to the ring.

[Jordan]

I'm really digging Lashley in this match so far.

[Triple A]

Yeah why is the commentary team standing up in front of the table......

[slik]

green shirt guy in the front row

[Evil Vito]

I suspect it'll rain on and off all night, that's always been a risk with outdoor Manias even though they've had good luck in the past. It rained during the pre-show match for WM29 but nothing bad. The ring is covered and most of the ringside electronics are either already covered or can be.

Whether they have to shut it down again or not depends on if there's a lightning storm in the area. Of course it's Florida and they can pop up very quickly, so they're not out of the woods by any means

[Fignuts]

lol weird

[Triple A]

Hope they don't make the commentary team inexplicably stand up all night... worried

[Evil Vito]

Yeah why is the commentary team standing up in front of the table......

I think the table is only partially covered by the overhang. Probably would get soaked if they sat down right now.

[slik]

the set is way closer to the ring than usual for WM (no long rampway) and I really like the visual of that

[Triple A]

Oh that makes sense... didn't realize that it's still raining

[Jordan]

I did the free trial for Peacock because my stream was laggy. The quality isn't blowing me away as others have said.

[Jordan]

Yeah why is the commentary team standing up in front of the table......

I think their monitors are set on the ground because perhaps the rain was hitting them where they were seated?

[Fignuts]

whoa inverted alabama slam

Someone in the back probably should get some chairs for the commentary team to sit since Cole is already swaying around a bunch.

[Fignuts]

This is a good big man match so far.

[Fignuts]

Oh god drew splatted

[Jordan]

This is a good big man match so far.

I'm loving it. After only watching AEW for the past year, this is fresh as anything to me.

[slik]

drew's dong bouncing off the rope in the dive

[Triple A]

Drew's schlong grazing the top rope on the tope suicida

[Jordan]

Lashley almost had his arms wrapped under those wings of that oversized 747 DUDE!

That's dumb especially if the show gets hit with another lengthy rain delay or more.

Plus there are reports of lighting being part of this storm in the surrounding areas.

[GD]

Holy mother of God! Lashley retains :eek:

[GD]

I was not expecting this. Wow!

[Evil Vito]

LOL wat

[Fignuts]

Realy good match.

[Triple A]

oh shit

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow surprised Lashley actually retained. Match itself was very good.

[Triple A]

Holy mother of God! Lashley retains :eek:

damn I think your stream is like a minute ahead of mine (on Peacock) :mad:

[Jordan]

That was a great Mania bout right there and I wouldn't have believed it if ya told me. Glad I saw it for myself.

[erickman]

now he can take on brock

[Fignuts]

Im happy. Lashley deserves a longer reign imo

[slik]

Weird Drew got distracted so easily but I'm good with Lashley winning

[Triple A]

What are u watching on @Guru Dave...

[Evil Vito]

Pretty good hoss fight there, enjoyed it. Was not expecting that ending at all.

[GD]

WWE NFTs :lol:

[Jordan]

What are u watching on @Guru Dave...

pls wait 1 min to post results to not spoil pls......

Yeah BROTHER you spoiled the match for us Peacock users in the North East DUDE.

[Gerard]

Why is bayley dressed like an old school teacher.?

[Jordan]

DING DONG

[Fignuts]

Baw ghad Hogan turned heel again during that match

[Fignuts]

Wonder if he'll be Mr America in the next segment.

[GD]

damn I think your stream is like a minute ahead of mine (on Peacock) :mad:

I'm not streaming this year...watching it on tv :cool:

Sony TEN for the win :yes:

[Jordan]

LOL Bailey was pretty funny I enjoyed that. Scott Hall's issues made him look so feminine.

[slik]

i think peacock is behind every other stream

[Fignuts]

Why the fuck am i watching comercials during wrestle fucking mania?

fuck peacock

[erickman]

bayley can too sweet the young bucks and kenny

[Jordan]

I'm not streaming this year...watching it on tv :cool:

Sony TEN for the win :yes:

Did you do proper PPV?

[Jordan]

OH god. I guess I'll go fix my supper now.

[Evil Vito]

I'm all for Naomi and Lana twerking and cunting as much as they want.

[GD]

Did you do proper PPV?

No. I'm overseas and it is free as long as you have Sony TEN.

[GD]

Just realized that they're not doing brand specific commentary teams tonight.

[Triple A]

Let's go Billie Kay

[Fignuts]

Everyone in this match sucks

[Evil Vito]

Marry me Billie Kay

[GD]

My IIconics reunion dreams are shattered.

[Fignuts]

I like Billie kays character tho

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Billie just play grab ass with Naomi and then sold it as if she got attacked by Naomi's butt instead?

That was weird.

[Gerard]

Billie Kay makes Khali looks like Rey Mysterio. She looks lost in the ring more often than not.

[Fignuts]

lol Lana fail

[Triple A]

Lana and Billie Kay in the ring together is not good...

[GD]

I like Billie kays character tho

Agreed. Billie Kay is entertaining.

[slik]

good gear for riott squad

[GD]

That was the softest double knee ever.

[GD]

Oh no! Mandy Rose fell down :(

[GD]

This match is ridiculously uncoordinated.

[Fignuts]

ahahahahahahahah

[Gerard]

Oh no! Mandy Rose fell down :(

Lucky ramp.

[Fignuts]

Fucking Ultimo Dragon over here

[Triple A]

This match is a freaking mess

[Emperor Smeat]

Feel bad for Mandy since that's going to be the source of gags for a while like the time Titus slipped during his entrance.

[GD]

Will try my darnest not to spoil anything important since ya'll on Peacock or on a delay :wavesad:

[Gerard]

Dana Brooke with a tattoo on her arsecheek.

[Fignuts]

Im not sure Mandy and Dana's attire is PG

[erickman]

the dana mandy twins they both look better every week

[Gerard]

Lol

[GD]

lmao...The Riott Squad have not been eliminated.

[Loose Cannon]

I get Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose confused all the time

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Cole forgetting which one was Mandy and which one was Dana because they look almost exactly the same tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh damn. I was thinking Lashley should win but didn’t think they would actually go through with it. Lashley’s got more monster heel potential than McIntyre has as a top face.

Knowing WWE though, they set things up for the show to start with McIntyre getting his moment just to have Lashley win for the sake of the shock. Now they’ll just have McIntyre win a rematch next month on a B-PPV and no one will come out looking good.

Lashley should just dominate for a year though.

[Jordan]

Yall remember how Anybody Thrilla had it hard for Ruby Riot? Everytime I see her I think of him :lol:

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the ring announcer botch.

This match has been very messy so far.

[Jordan]

I bet he's somewhere justifying why she's hot to one of his friends.

[Fignuts]

lol even the announcers are botching

[Evil Vito]

They can't seriously have Natalya and Tamina win

Becky showing up for sure

[GD]

I get Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose confused all the time

lol how?

[Loose Cannon]

lol how?

I think because they came in at the same time and joined two different 3 man groups and both had blonde hair lol

Or had blonde hair

[Jordan]

I can't believe they put Tamina with Natalya because both of their fathers are WWE Legends.
