Wrestling - Offical Thread

Yeah that was the best main event since taker and hbk tbh

I'm not sure about wrestlemania 31 though, sting and brock carried the whole show.

How on earth have the commentators not been sacked? They ruined the main event !

For me, it was a really great Wrestlemania.  Every single match was entertaining and there wasn't really any filler imo; even the pre-show matches and the divas match were decent.

I was surprised that Triple H beat Sting, but in hindsight, I don't know why.  Triple H had far more to gain than Sting, and it's not like he looked weak in the loss; Triple H needed the help of his DX cronies to beat him.  Plus, it setup the spectacle of seeing DX and the nWo go at it.  It was weird seeing the nWo help Sting considering they used to be sworn enemies but you can justify it if you want; if it wasn't for WCW, there'd be no nWo in the first place, and if it wasn't for Sting, there wouldn't have been the epic feud.  Plus, maybe the nWo just got old and realized the error of their ways?  

Also, for 56 years old, Sting looked pretty decent, and I think he could definitely have another match.  He'd have a bit more time to train and get in-shape.  Who would it be against? The setup for a match with Shawn Michaels is there already but we all know HBK ain't coming out of retirement, so, it's gotta be...

The Undertaker.  I thought his match with Bray Wyatt was just fine; better than last years effort against Brock.  'Taker looked decent; a little bit tubby round the middle, but still good.  I think growing his heard and goatee back was a good move as he didn't look as old and washed up as he did last year.  If 'Taker & Sting train hard then I see no reason they can't have a decent Wrestlemania match, even if they will be 51 & 57 respectively.

The Main Event was just great.  Brock was a devastating but I think Reigns deserves some credit, too.  I'm glad he didn't walk out as champion but they did a good job of making me think he might pull it off.  And Rollins, just wow.  I totally never expected a cash-in and it was awesome.  I think Rollins will do a great job as weasel heel champ.

My thoughts

IC ladder match - Delivered for the most part. Plenty of cool spots throughout, not a classic but a good way to open the show. And fuck me did Dean Ambrose take a bump, he smashed his head hard on that ladder. 7.5
Seth Vs Orton - really good match, that RKO was the bollocks. 8
Sting HHH - Really mixed feelings about this. The match up until the run-ins was really good. Felt Sting and HHH could have easily put on a really good match on their own. Yeah it was kind of fun seeing everyone run in but also a bit shit, oh here come the old cunts. Was hoping for Goldberg to come down after how ridiculous it went. Was really surprised that Scott Hall took a bump, I know it wasn't huge but fucking hell Felt cheated not having Sting win tbh and the handshake at the end just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Don't know how to rate it. Oh and HHH's entrance So fucking ridiculous but I love it for that reason.
Cena Rusev - the fucking tank Felt this match was disappointing, their match at Fast Lane was better. Hope they don't bury Rusev now he's lost, he deserves to be a big deal. Was hoping Cena would fuck off for a few months but that ain't gonna happen now 6
Ronda/rock segment I liked, though I felt it dragged a little. Would've been better to of had Steph say "You won't hit a girl" and have Rock say "no, but I know someone who will" and have Ronda come into the ring from outta knowwhere, few punches, the end. Still was kinda cool though.
Undertaker Vs Bray didn't work for me. I think a lot was lost having both those guys come out in daylight, really killed the entrances (though the stadium setting overall was cool as fuck). The match I felt was a nothing match. It picked up towards the end when Bray did his upsidedown handstand thing & then 'Taker did his Micheal Myer's sit-up & it turned out ok. Yeah Undertaker looked better but still, I'm not sure if I wanna see him anymore TBH. They should only have one old biddy match per mania, 2 is pushing it. 5
The main event, holy shit it was great. Brock is just incredible. They really had me and swept the carpet from under my feet. The more offense Brock landed I was going "fuck sake Roman is gonna win", "FFS they can't have it happen", I was convinced, especially when he finally came back. I let out huge bits of sex wee when my boy Seth came running down. Even then when he curb-stomped brock I thought "fuck they are gonna have him get speared and lose", but no, it happened. So fucking cool, I loved it. So smartly booked as well. Brock comes out of it not having been pinned, still looking unbeatable. Roman comes out of this really well, he took some huge bumps, really physical both ways & hopefully will gain some respect for doing so. And then also, the title is in the hands of THE DON. I can't wait to see Seth milk holding that belt for all its worth, I just think as far as a modern day heel goes he's incredible. The way he sheepishly ran down the ramp and then ran off after, I love him so much. Also THE BLOOD, question guys... The final shit-load of blood off of Brock hitting that post, anyone think he may have juiced? It just felt excessive from hitting the post, I was thinking maybe they had left a sharp piece on the post to pierce his head. The blood really helped make it feel brutal, some of the blows they shared were just massive. A real 10/10

Overall a real success mania was. If the title match hadn't delivered then it couldn't been a disaster but it was just so smartly booked, also the possibilities of where they go from here are endless.

Can't wait to watch my boy Seth lord it up on Raw!

also, anyone watched "wrestling isn't wrestling"? It's a short film by john landis' son that tells the whole story of HHH in 25 minutes using mostly female actors as Wrestlers, really enjoyed it.

He sure did. Ref giving reigns a blade to give to lesnar.

RAW spoiler:

SRK, Maybe I'm blind or the gif isn't fully loading, but I can't see anything there. Anyway. I'm glad they did it, it really suited that match. Isn't something I wanna see often so it should only be on really special occasions when needed.

thanks for using the spoiler tags Fuzz, I'm sticking it on in a minute, pumped!

It loads fine on mine, but you see someone sticking an item (A BLADE) in roman's hand as he's out on the ground.

Wasn't loading properly on my phone, saw it now.

WOOO

These should be the lyrics for Roman Reigns' entrance music:

JOE, JOE, JOE, JOE

Raw was so awesome this week. Every time I get bored with the wrestling and think I'm done with it they sucker me back in.

Hogan in a spot of bother

Watcha gonna do, brother, when these internet geeks scrubbing my image off the WWE website, run wild on YOU??

/childhood dying again

Using language so hate-filled and vile it would shock even his most ardent fans, Hulk brazenly blustered to Heather Clem – the wife of his former pal Bubba “The Love Sponge,” with whom he was covertly filmed having sex with in 2012 – that he was an unabashed “racist."

"I guess we’re all a little racist," he crowed on the tape, multiple sources have confirmed exclusively to The ENQUIRER.

Despite his TV image as a born-again Christian, the tapes prove that Hulk is a very different man off camera!

In a startling exchange, the 61-year-old told Clem – who he sued for invasion of privacy after their XXX tape was leaked to a website – about his frustrations with blonde bombshell Brooke, 27.

"She is making some real bad decisions now," Hulk said, sources tell us. "My daughter Brooke jumped sides on me. I spent $2-3 million on her music career, I’ve done everything like a jackass for her.”

The bitter bodybuilder continued, "The one option Brooke had, Brooke’s career besides me, is [to] sell beach records."

At that point on the tape, the former "Hogan Knows Best” star bemoaned how a "black billionaire guy" had offered to fund her music career.

He also attempts to use bizarre, twisted logic in an attempt to justify his bigotry at the man.

"I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son," Hulk raved, the sources add.

"I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever."

Then, in a tirade to rival the racism embarrassments suffered by Mel Gibson and "Dog The Bounty Hunter," Hulk unloaded even more hatred!

According to sources, he said: "I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!

"I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger."

Radar and The ENQUIRER has learned explosive transcripts of the loathsome conversation have been filed in a Florida court, under seal, in a bid to prevent them from being publicly released.

But an extensive news probe uncovered five independent sources who provided the dramatic contents of the tape to this publication.

Hulk did not return a request for comment.
