The Official WrestleMania XXVIII Thread
 

Thanks to Triple Naitch for stealing the images so I didn't have to.

Already got it ordered in HD, only ppv I buy all year, can't wait

Due in large part to the successful use of WrestleMania hype threads, I can say that I am fairly hyped for this occasion.

Nowadays I'm only a casual wrestling observer but I'm mildly excited for this card. Should be some fantastic matches on this card.

The only match i'm not really that interested in is the Divas match but even that should be a passable 5mins.

Pretty pumped for this show, and the added buzz made it more "must watch".

Can't wait for Punk/Jericho.

I have to work tonight so I'm avoiding the site till I get a torrent. Till then enjoy Mania!

Got in a brief tiff the other day with someone at work; I said Punk/Jericho would be the best match on the card (he said HIAC.)

I think the bigger spectacle will be HIAC. Better "pure" match will be Punk and Jericho.

Seems like it was just last week they announced Rock/Cena and everyone wondered how they would keep the feud going for a full year. Got to hand it to WWE, they did a good job with it, but the build has never been a problem for them. Now comes time for some sort of payoff.....

Not sure whether to just watch on a stream or go round to watch it with a few guys who don't watch wrestling but are ordering it for something to do.

Yes. Punk/Y2J has the potential to be the Steamboat/Savage of this show. I dont really mind if it opens the show, but it will be odd that the first match for the last two PPVs has been for the WWE Title.

If I said odds of blood in the HIAC match were 1 in 9 would anyone take that bet?

For the first time WWE had created water cooler discussion at my work. I am stoked.

You'll have to talk a lot and miss the show.

I always enjoy the comradery (sp?), the booze, and the chance to explain things to get the casual fans more into it. People with open minds are very receptive to that stuff and if they are ordering it they probably are. To me, its like watching a favorite movie with someone who hasnt seen it before.

Dunno, don't think I can be bothered explaining anything to them. Although the "missing the show" part that Fragile X mentioned wouldn't bother me either. If I'm watching on a stream I'll be flicking between tabs anyway. Doesn't really bother me if I miss bits of matches.

Probably just stay and watch a stream.

I just bought the feed from WWE.com

I AM A GOOD MAN

If it sucks though I'll switch to a stream :(

I feel like WWE deserves my money, hell 54 bucks for a year of entertainment is how I see it.

Also just here to register my excitement for tonight. Haven't watched a proper wrestling show that wasn't a quick Youtube video in too long, but have this booked and will be up until the early hours of the morning here in England ready.

My money's on Sheamus/Bryan opening the show.

I am seriously considering doing this as well after utterly failing to find any bars showing the PPV in East Syracuse.

Has anyone here had good experiences ordering PPV's from WWE.com?

DAMN. That is fucking awesome. I love how they created that massive tarp/lighting structure to accommodate the cell. I was wondering how they were going to hang the cell in an outdoor venue.

You know what I'm pumped for tonight?

The INEVITABLE Brodus Clay/Rikishi DANCE SEGMENT.

If Ernest Miller joins them, it will truly be a WrestleMania moment.

I posted a thread on this a month ago, everyone gave WWE.com a good review. It's not HD but it's a good stream.

<font color=goldenrod>Gonna spend $9 on a reliable stream. Used it for the Rumble and it worked great. If it fucks up for whatever reason, I'll have to try my luck with a free stream.</font>

It would suck to go to WM and sit that high up, bring a pair of binoculars thinking you're smart only to have 1/2 the ring blocked out of view by the fucking posts holding up the thing over the ring. Id be legit pissed.

I can't conceive any scenario where sitting high up at a wrestling event would be any fun.

Is it weird that one of the main reasons I wanna see this is for Taker revealing his bald head?

Also, wonder how bad the crowd will be in the main event, cant be worse for Cena than MITB, surely?

You can always watch the screens.

especially if they pop fireworks off behind your head...

Just gonna try the free stream. It is enough that I am ripping them off, kind of don't want to give profit to someone else for it. Even if it is just $9.

Should be a tremendous show. Jericho and Punk will put on a clinic. I hope they give the World Title match more time the the other under card matches but I have my doubts about that. At least Sheamus and Bryan are assured their spot on Mania this year.

The Crowd will make Rock-Cena. I might actually cheer for Cena as I've really enjoyed what he has brought over the last few weeks.

I really had no interest in HHH-Taker until they added the Cell and that completely changed it for me. Even though most likely we all know the ending, it's the uncertainty how we will get there that will make it a fun match to watch.

Turns out I'm going to my friends house tonight now instead of watching on a stream. Gonna have to not use any terms that casual fans won't know cause they won't have a clue what I'm going on about.

Im watching the intro videos in order to all the WM, and the first 10 are pretty good and then we get to this:

CELEBRITIES! FOOTBALL PLAYERS!..(and some wrestlers)

Good news. I will be in the chat room tonight.

As excited for WrestleMania 28 as I am, in no way would I even consider paying $64.99 for the show.

I have to pay almost $70 cause Md Charges sales tax on PPV.

Can't fucking wait for this. Could potentially be the best Mania since 17 or 19 (whichever you thought was better).

I'm so stoked for Wrestlemania. The weekend has been pretty good & this is a great way to end it. I'm just wondering if the triple threat tag match will appear in the streams

Have a feeling that the server is gonna be shit tonight, so I'll probably just watch it on my television without interacting with you all tonight.

it took me 20 minutes to post that. effing server

Server is already shagged. I've asked Triple A to turn guest viewing of the forum off, see if it helps.

I'm getting excited. Coffee and beers, not the same beverage Drew Carey. Hey now.

30min to go so hold ontya butts.

Taker it Easy tpdubs

I doubt there will be kids in Africa wearing daniel bryan WHC t-shirts..

CM punk in the locker room after he wins getting a pepsi shower wearing that shirt lol

The IWC geek inside me wants to see a Guerrero/Benoit moment between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk tonight. But I know that's not going to happen.

Fucking streams/download links better still be active by the time I get home from work tomorrow!

I'd love it even more if Daniel Bryan came out to tease it, then kicked Punk in the balls and put him in cattle mutilation or the labelle lock.

P.S. Hope you guys enjoy it. :y:

Looks like a TNA house show right there.

35 minutes, I'm getting pretty excited at this point.

anyone know of any good streaming sites

Bryan vs Sheamus being teased as the opening match for Mania. Would be just like last year having the Smackdown title be the first match.

I could probably use some too. I didn't get accepted into the stream group :(

Pre-show starting proper. That venue looks immense.

Alright, this match should be good

i wish theyd put the tag match on directv..damn my slow connection even trying to watch it in 240p.

Daniel Bryan and Sheamus have so much history I can't wait til it all comes to head!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_MGi...a9FUAAAAAAAAAA

The preshow triple threat match is on now

Actually check your rep.

The set looks amazing

ok found one guys

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/1...ia-xxviii.html

this is gonna look bad if the seats dont start filling in, lots of empty seats with 25 minutes to go

tyson kid is impressive

yeah looks like alot of empty seats

Nice little spot

You guys should PM each other stream links instead of posting them here

tyson kidd with the first good move of the night, that was pretty cool.

Are we thinking this might go a while if there's still 20 minutes left til show starts?

i thought the usos were kofi clones for a second

lol sweat an oil on the ropes after about 5 minutes

Epico and Primo retain!

Is there any way to get a live stream to my iPad?

matt striker demoted to calling the dark match

Still a good twenty minutes until the show starts. That could easily change

I love when at a live show (at least for ECW) there was always a kid that would wipe down the ropes between matches. Just about everyone would just cheer him on while he ran around the ring.

<font color=goldenrod>I have no idea if it was Jimmy or Jey that got pinned :( the camera angles cut around so fast I couldn't tell if the Uso had a chest tat or not</font>

WHC first? Cool.

It's official, WHC match to open the show

15 minutes until show time. The arena looks amazing from that aerial view.

My first live WrestleMania since 25! YES!

Good to know that WWE cares so much about the WHC that it curtain jerks twice in a row

AJ turns on Bryan to give the Irish fella the win...

lol

lol @ AJ

:lol:

aj with the YES

lol AJ's Yes'

Epico is Mr. Pre-Wrestlemania.
