The Wrestling Thread II: WrestleMania 33 - 7 HOURS

No way is it coincidence that everyone in this company have suddenly started saying Glasgow properly.

Got my New Day flashing unicorn horn this morning ready for Raw on Monday 8-)

I'm going to one of the live events on Sunday, and I can't wait. It lists a start time of 5pm, but is that an actual start time or the time doors open? Usually whenever I go to see anything it lists a door time and a start time. What kind of time should I be expecting it to actually start?

Do the live events usually follow the TV storyline? Because Orton and Wyatt were scheduled for a Street Fight at my live event, which I can't see happening now.

Have you checked the website of the arena u r going to? Often the Sunday and show does have an earlier start to the other shows.

Yes they usually follow recent storylines so you end up with matches that have recently happened at the last ppv or recent TV shows. You will probably have a Owens v Rollins or styles v Ambrose title match for example. Depending on which brand you've got.

Just found this on the Newcastle arena website

Doors Open: 3.30pm
Act One: 5.00pm - 6.15pm
Interval: 20 Minutes
Act Two: 6.35pm - 8.00pm
Show End: 8.00pm

I had checked last week and there wasn't any kind of information, but re-checking just now it's changed, Doors 3:30, Start Time: 5pm. Ends at 8pm, with a 20 minute interval. 2 hours and 40 minutes of action

The street fight has changed to Kane vs. Orton too.

I do kind of like Kane though, so I'm not that disappointed.

Good seats? Wish I'd got a new tee for the show but may buy an overpriced one there.

I'm in area 2, 9 rows from the ramp so should be pretty damn good view. Be hard to top NXTs atmosphere in Glasgow but heres hoping.

BAKA - Not sure if you've been to live event before or not but be on time, they don't really hang about and are usually spot on with timings, missed the start of a couple before.

Can't remember exactly where the seats are but it looked like a good view.

I haven't, thanks for letting me know. I think I'm in the second row too, so it'd probably be annoying for people if I came in late. I don't have any merchandise either, so I'm hoping to have a bit of a shop before I get in too. Need some Styles gloves and a Baseball cap. :wub:

I wonder if they'll only have SmackDown merchandise with the brand split. Wouldn't have minded some Sasha swag too. I want some Nakamura stuff too. :cry:

Is the merchandise much more expensive in the arena than in their online shop?

So former German goalkeeper Tim Wiese is making his wwe debut in Munich on the European tour, the story says Thursday but I don't k ow if that's tomorrow or next week.

Has he actually been wrestling yet in nxt? I didn't know if this was a roster call up or just a one off as they. Are in Germany.

More live action added to the WWE Network, though now on a permanent basis.

205 Live will air every Tuesday night at 10pm and feature cruiserweight action. Talking Smack moves to 11. I'm wondering if fans will stick around in the building...

So they will record another show between 10 and 11 at night after SD has finished? As you say will people really stay around especially in the middle of the week. I know from going to Raw tappings here that people leave before the show has finished and especially when they show a dark match after the tappings have finished.

I give it a few weeks before they start taping 205 first and revert to Talking Smack Live. Though that does leave what to do with Main Event. They could start the taping earlier, film less matches, split it over 2 nights (like they used to) or move that to after SD. I just can't see enough fans sticking around to see the cruisers, at least not at first. The RAW and PPV crowds currently don't give 2 gooseberry fools.

Nice! Second row should be awesome. I reckon they will surely just have all merchandise, not miss a trick to sell some extra.

From what I remember last year, the new T Shirts were about £25, usually £22 on Euroshop so not too bad suppose.

Really tempted to wear my original Bo Dallas ridiculous Bo Lieve T :shifty:

I've only just realised that the cruiser weights are supposed to be on raw. I wonder if they will still keep appearing or if they will only appear on 205.

Is that a network show or something? I'd love to see that match.

It's one night prior to TLC so I'd be very surprised if it's one for TV.

But Rusev pretty much stood up for Lesnar(well at least Heyman) on Monday. Makes sense.
Thank God they're creating a whole new hour for the Cruiserweights after Smackdown, can't go interfering with that precious first or third hour of Raw.

This is just far too much wrestling. :dread:

Suppose will give a far better platform though, the booking of 6 man tag matches to get most of them on a ppv started quickly :dread:

Hope Noam Dar debuts in Glasgow. Dat pop.

It's such a strange piece of scheduling. I see why they've done it because all the production is already set up and they can also air it Live, but it would make more sense next to NXT on Wednesday or Thursday.

Apparently the cruiserweights will still be on RAW, therefore will be the only wrestlers travelling to both RAW and SmackDown.

Ric Flair on his daughter's HIAC match:

"They took two huge spots out of the match...because they were afraid Sasha was going to get hurt. If the original plan had been, there were two things and I don't want to say what they were, but you can only imagine. One of them involved a moonsault."

She was supposed to do a moonsault off the top of the Cell like Kurt Angle but Vince wasn't having any of it...thank Christ.

Absolutely brutal.
