Bald-headed blues playing. Shaving cream on his head. Really shaving it now.

You know that probably feels good.

Funny how this match has gotten the most reaction in this thread. :lol:

Beer bash with all three now.

Hahahaha awesome.

Why does JR keep calling Vince "Mr. McMadMan"?

Stunner to Trump! Trump fucked it up!

STUNNER ON THE DONALD

HOLY SHIT STUNNER ON TRUMP

main event will probably go an hour, 15 mins for the lumberjack match

Holy shit. That was a Stunner worse than Linda's, but I honestly didn't see it coming.

He should've stunned Lashley too

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

lol Vince is bald.

Lumberjill match for MAIN EVENT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Flair/Carlito won the tagteam lumberjack match against Helms/Chavo

wait. WHAT?

It's a Piss Break for the WWE Women's Championship.

Ashley gets a pyro. :roll:

I always knew Melina was a wild animal.

So far, how has this Mania been?

Melina retains.

Holy shit, HBK/Cena going for a hour? Mr.Kennedy possibly cashing in?

All the Divas get in the ring and fight.

Cena/HBK next.

shit mania, worst mania in, i dunno, @ least 8 years.
undercard has been awful

the audio is gone on the live feed :( damnit

And for that reason, The Knight returns to a WWE live thread.

They should have saved us all the trouble and call HBK/Cena an Ironman Match.

Anywho, I'm out for the night. Enjoy the rest of the show, and Happy April Fool's day.

Just realized Hunter didn't make an appearance.

Yet.

So what's up?

ROFL, oh my God how corny.

UH...Ford Mustang speeding through Detroit....stops at Ford Field. Drives in. Crashes through the glass Wrestlemania 23 logo. Cena's music plays, he gets out of the car.

Sick car

a fan just jumped in the ring I think.

for a second i thought it was Paul London...

LOL some random fan in his boxers got tackled out of the ring. HBK waves bye to him.

a fan just jumped in the ring I think.

for a second i thought it was Paul London...

$50 says Cena will overcome the odds

And Alienoid orgasmed as finally Paul London was involved in a Mania Main event.

Are you mad? The odds are clearly against him!

LONDON GOT DRUNK

If that's the case then I raise it to $500.

Piledriver to Cena on the steps!

How was super cena's pop?

What kinda reaction is Cena getting?

Boooos

BOOOOOOOOOOOURNNNNNS

Is it as bad as last year in Chicago?

HBK kicks out of the FU

Na but its pretty bad

Repeat of last year

STFU. CENA WINS

Wow, what a surprise! John Cena overcame the odds.

Please Kennedy... Cash it in now!





.....now? :'(

FUCK FUCK FUCK

I was right on Tipsters though

Cena winning makes no sense whatsoever.

HBK refuses to shake Cena's hand.

SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPEN!!!!

Show is OVAH

This mania was pointless.

WWE

lol glad I didnt watch this POS PPV

Only good thing was Taker keeping his streak.

Glad I didn't pay money...Or waste time watching it.

Cuck Fena

I watched an online feed, and had no audio. Anyone wanna tell me how the audio was?

what a crap WM that was. dont they understand its wrestlefrickinmania god. And Cena winning again...what bs...

even the MITB was sort of boring.

I enjoyed this Mania. MITB was good. STOKED Kennedy won. and I was pulling for Cena too, i think that was a hell of a match.

This is why I didn't go to mania.

I buckled and decided to order Wrestlemania 23, and I am sure glad that I did. From top to bottom it was a really great show to watch and great achivement for the WWE. Money in the Bank was a wild hard hitting sick match full of some really stiff bumps. Kane v.s Khali was better than I expected, not good but not unbearable, plus a surprise victory was nice. Benoit v.s MVP was good, it will elevate MVP a litttle bit, and made Benoit look strong. Undertaker v.s Batista was perhaps MOTN and deffinatly a MOTYC. They went at it nonstop viciously and did some new things we haven't seen either of them do. Takers entrance was the shit and LOL at Batista obviously fucking up his entrance. New Breed v.s The Originals was decent and served its purpose. It really should have been a little longer and had extreme rules. Umaga v.s Lashley was a very entertaining match but in the style of the McMahon Wrestlemania style match. It had a lot of great moments as a match and the end was pretty funny. The Womens Title Match was decent and short, I wish they would have stripped each other down in the big brawl finish, woulda been nice. The main event was the shit, both guys were on fire and the match was just sweet.

Wrestlemania was everything I wanted it to be this year, perhaps on of my favorites of all time.

What Jordan X said. I really enjoyed it.

Can't deny the day and the event had the feel. The big time feel. The event and venue and everything went off well. Great production.

felt the crowd was too tame, but this is probably because of the size.


As for quality, naturally I was left with a sour taste in my mouth but it really went off well. Cena/Michaels was a pretty good match, especially towards the end. Just didn't like the outcome but at least Bats lost.
Was very pleased with MITB
MVP vs Benoit, suprisingly decent.
Couldn't believe the originals won but thats great.

Overall I felt it was okay, just because I was left unahppy doen'st mean I'll knock the show it was good. But I think it would have benefited from one or two more matches and a few more backstage interviews and segments. Felt like it was just the matches with very little flow and segue.

I had no audio for the Cena match. Did he get booed out of the building? Was it like last year in Chicago?

I think it was one of the biggest PPVs I have ever seen, It had that huge time feel, everything was just perfect oldschool style wrestling. It was sweet.

Meh.

I watched it, but didn't really get into it at all. MITB was decent as were a few other matches. Definitly good quality for WWE. However, after going to the 2 shows I went to on Fri and Sat, WM was horrible in comparrison.

K, maybe my view is skewed because I was their live, but I thought it was an excellent show. Some thoughts.

-I hate wrestling fans. 94% of them are complete tards. Behind me, and in front of me, were about 10 of the dumbest fans I've ever seen. Wanted to kill them.

-Production was awesome. Stage was huge, pyros were huge, everything was great. Nearly every entrance was fun to watch.

-There was a dark match: Carlito and Flair beat Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms in a lumberjack match. Nothing special.

-Money In The Bank was pretty good. Interesting to note that Kennedy out-popped Punk, and Matt Hardy came close to out-popping Kennedy.

-Kane/Khali was predictably awful. Trying to recreate Hogan slamming Andre with Kane slamming Khali was just dumb.

-Maybe it's just me, but I think Ricky Steamboat coming into a promo, and doing a martial arts pose and yell should be the new "DAMN!".

-Benoit/MVP. Probably tied for 2nd best match of the night with MITB. MVP was great here. The guy can go. I may need to start watching Smackdown just for him.

-The Trump/Boogeyman segment was just......bizarre.

-Undertaker/Bats was good, but of course it didn't rival Savage/Steamboat like Dancin' Dave promised. Taker's entrance was amazing.

-Originals/New Breed. Nothing much to say here. Not a bad match, but not memorable at all.

-Battle of the Billionaires. They did the right thing, bumping Austin and involving Shane. Kept Umaga and Lashley from putting on a stinker. The looks on Vince's face post-match were tremendous.

-Melina/Ashley. Terrible, as everyone knew it would be. Thankfully short.

-HBK/Cena. Cena had a very strange night. Anytime he was in a video package, loud boos. When he came out, loud boos. When he won, great pop. Odd. Anyways, this was match of the night. Both guys were on their game, and all the trading of finishers was done well.

Overall, show was like an 8/10. I knew Khali/Kane and Ashley/Melina would suck. Everything else was better than I thought it'd be. If you had the opportunity to go to this show and didn't, or you had tickets and sold them, you made a mistake.

Will upload some pics from the show shortly.

I actually ordered this shit with a couple of kids down the hall lol

The Money in the Bank match was really good. Kennedy's head hitting the ladder, and front flipping off the top of the ladder with a midget on his shoulders was fucking crazy. Plus was that move on Edge planned on? I remember hearing he was legitmately injuried before the match so I figured it was planned.

Wrestling is some funny shit though

It was hard to tell, in the big arenas the sound rises quickly, but he got booed for almost everything he did I belive, eventually he geared up some fans though.

The Edge/Jeff Hardy ladder bump was one of the sickest things since Mick Foley HITC.

When I heard Edge got carried out I immediately thought that since he was injured, he can claim that he didn't really lose and his streak is still intact. I figured this is so they can keep his streak and yet let Kennedy win.

Stage during Shawn's entrance. I found it odd that Shawn had no problem entering in front of what sort of looked like a burning cross.

I wouldn't go that far man, it was cool but it wasn't anything more impressive than the normal TLC. It was clearly a special ladder.


I thought the event was very good, but for some damn reason (and it may just be me) I felt like it didn't have much of a flow like they have in the past.
What I mean is having backstage segments and interviews throughout the card. As well as it seemed as though the commentary teams were kinda quiet and didn't do much "sending it back to.." or "send it over to.."
I dont know why, just seemed this way.
It was like each match would happen then there'd just be a commercial and the announce team would start fresh for a new match. Very patchy.

Small complaint for a decent show though. Certainly a fine wrestlemania, and I know many will knock it just because of how it ended but whatever.

I just got back from the show a little bit ago, almost 2 hours to get home from Ford Field and I live 25 miles away.

I really can't give good details on matches, cus there were only parts that I saw. I was in the riser sections, and if you weren't in the first couple rows, you were basically 50 rows back since the risers didnt actually rise up too much from the main floor.

However, the spectacle was really there. The video screen entrances were really cool. Crowd seemed into most of the night. Probably except the ECW, Womens, and US title matches. The ECW guys seem to try to hard to get the rest of the crowd into the match.

Was surprised that MITB was the first match of the night. But awesome to see Kennedy win it.

But I was pissed at the finish of the main event. I just can't believe that Cena retained again after what happened at WM 22. Same type of hostile crowd, and same STFU finish. There seemed to be so many people upset at the end. But it was still a fun day. And now I think I can wait to go to more live events, since I did 3 in 3 days. Monday will be rest day.

Geez, that IS a fucking huge set! Nice pics! :y:

Just a few other things I noticed, why didn't HBK shake Cena's hand after the match? I assume he was "in character" when he did but still seemed kind of pointless..and am I the only who noticed that neither of them brought the tag team titles out? Also, who else thought The Rock was gonna come out and grab McMahon when he was trying to run away? For some reason I really thought he was going to lol, same deal with Triple H making a run in during HBK/Cena but I guess I was wrong about that too.

My seats were in the 7th row of the risers. They were great.

Sure, a lot of standing up was necessary, but I expected as much.

Special thanks to Corky for finally pushing me onto the next rep level. Good lookin' out, bro.

probably the best entrance way in wrestlemania history.

Stima, I thought the Rock was gonna run out at that moment as well.

I was expecting Mcmahon to make a run in, making Cena heel.

That's what I was hoping for. I'm dying to be swerved just once, where's Russo when you need him...

I think the opinion of this above average mania will fall below average because of 2 things.
The ending.
The small amount of matches.

With one more big match and a tag match, this could have been a bigger event.

With a swerve at the end...damn. That would have been good.
