The Wrestling Thread II: WrestleMania 33 - 7 HOURS

[shadow202]

Not long now for the pre-show. 10pm start according to the Network schedule. The pre-show actually has some quality matches too.

3 hour pre-show?

I thought the main show started at 12am?

Oh. I have no idea any more.

Odds chat:

Why haven't the odds changed yet, Orton cannot be winning this surely?

I hope not, I read an article earlier though about a number of wrestlers who were suddenly odds on favourite to win and then didn't, so hopefully it's not happening.

I've bet on pretty much everyone other than him. Including Shane McMahon. I think I would prefer that.

How much money have you spent betting on the rumble?

Tonight is when we get the pointing at the WM sign for the next few months. For some really it really annoys me.

The final 3 hours are going to be Orton pointing at it.

Lol! I'd probably sit watching it just waiting for someone to strawberry float it up and being angry that in the end nothing happened.

I wouldn't mind Orton vs Wyatt for Mania (assuming that would be where they go if Orton wins; surely Bray would then be an overdue shoo-in for the title at Elimination Chamber?). I still think it'll be Taker (a Texas crowd would love it, it'd be great for his apparent farewell year), but fear that will mean Reigns and Taker for Mania (with Reigns winning ).

£55. Never spent that much before (I only bet on a couple of PPVs and politics) but hopefully I'll be in luck. If not, at least it gets me interested in it

If Shane McMahon enters at number 21 (the number my cat selected) and wins, and the final 4 are Shane, CM Punk, James Ellsworth and The Miz I'm onto a winner.

Thinking about it I can see Cena winning by DQ; they like to do bullshit finishes at the Rumble because most of the time it's all about the Rumble itself.

3 matches on the Pre-Show now, 2 of them women's matches.

[BAKA]

3 matches on the pre-show doesn't leave a lot for the actual show, especially if it's 4 hours... 4 matches and the Rumble? I suppose the Rumble is going to be over an hour though.

[KK]

Watching these highlights of 2010 reminds me what a terrible commentator Matt Striker became.

Will never forget "shrapnel flying everywhere!" and his "500 pound steel steps"

The rumble match will probably end up being about an hour and a half to give enough time for Undertaker to complete his entrance.

[KK]

I was wondering what that thick pipe running along the aisle way is but I just saw it cuts out halfway so I'm presuming it's Undertaker's smoke.

[BAKA]

Adverts...mid-match. This is why I hate Banks, Anderson and Gallows being on the pre-show!

[shadow202]

Cutting out from the match for a promo of the Cena vs AJ match and some dumb mobile game, strawberry floating get your act together WWE.

[KK]

It makes no sense either as this show isn't on a commercial station!

[Floex]

You can watch the show on yotube so that's likely why they do it.

[Mafro]

Why is Jericho wearing two scarves

[KK]

It's going to be a shame when they split these two up in a few weeks.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Owens and Jericho are strawberry floating hillarious together. Don't break them up.

[KK]

"Nilly-willy" - a Shawn Michaelism.

[BAKA]

The massive amount of boo's for Cole. Rumble crowd is on point.

[Mafro]

I don't even remember what Sheamus winning the Rumble led to.
