The Wrestling Thread II: WrestleMania 33 - 7 HOURS

[Slimgrady]

From The Rock on facebook...

Very cool to watch our amazing/bad ass Florence Pugh embody the role of real life WWE Superstar Paige.

We shot some great scenes together today that reflected my real life pivotal conversations I had with Paige. Very interesting to relive and shoot those moments.

I appreciate our entire crew and actors working tirelessly on a Sunday. THANK YOU!
The 6'7 stud standing with us, is our director/writer Stephen Merchant. Brilliant filmmaker and loved worldwide. I still think he's an asshole.

We're bringing our production to rock the Staples Center tomorrow night for RAW.

I wonder if he'll make an appearance on the show?

I wonder if they are actually filming something after raw. If so they will surely have the rock come to encourage the crowd to stick around after.

I suspect they'll be looking to film crowd reactions and things like that to use in the final film, and maybe have the actors appear to drum up a bit of interest.

I'm actually very interested in this, it has potential to be really good.

Yeah they're filming a match between Thea Trinidad(Rosita in TNA) and NXT's Tessa Blanchard after Raw, again according to The Rock on facebook. They might as well have him make an appearance on Raw because if he just makes one after they go off air it'll be a waste.

Took them what nearly four years but there is now Chromecast support

Brazzers are doing a porn parody of the Montreal Screwjob Their belt is nicer than any of the current WWE ones

Bret screwed Bret

Bret screwed Bret

They seriously have to have her playing with herself with a dildo and then someone says that Bret is screwing bret. Not that I have any interesting in watching it mind

[KK]

That SmackDown main event finish was infuriating because it made Bryan look ridiculous. Why the hell didn't he ask for a replay? Was it because in reality there was a clear winner by any chance...

I just realised I forgot to watch SD this week. Didn't even think about it.

Surely it has to all be heading for Luke Harper being the number one contender and then Orton changing his mind and it being a triple threat at mania?

[Slimgrady]

Isn't there a rumored Styles/Shane match for 'Mania? So I assume Styles will somehow end up being number 1 contender until Orton reveals his master plan that he was messing with Wyatt all along, thus making Styles irrelevant to the title picture once more, and when Shane won't listen to his complaining he'll box him in the jaw....or something.

Edit: Just realised I put a picture of pornstars at the top of page 469

[Mafro]

They're absolutely mental if they're even still entertaining the idea of Shane vs Styles after his injury on that Survivor Series match. Can't believe Shane vs Lesnar was one of the ideas being banded about too.

[Slimgrady]

Why aren't they doing Shane versus Hunter?! Too real?

[Mafro]

Just seen Josh Barnett is in TNA now. Weird that WWE never made a move for him or any of the other MMA fighters that are big fans of or have done pro wrestling before like Tom Lawlor and Matt Riddle.

They are putting Beth Phoenix into the Hall of Fame. Not to rain on her parade but passing Chyna over again is frankly shocking. In the spiel they say she was the second woman to enter the Royal Rumble, well how about the first woman to enter it? They also mention her runs with assorted women's titles well Chyna won one of those too along with being the first woman to hold a men's title (Intercontinental) and was in line for a run with the world title at one point.

Surely they can't keep her out forever.

I think with Hunter and Steph pretty much running the place these days there's more chance of seeing Benoit going in before her I know both of them did a token RIP tweet when she died but that was surely just to keep up appearances. That WWE themed porn she did, although hilarious, was a really bad idea...so I hear

[Cumberdanes]

Yeah, I've heard a lot about her post WWE career too

[BAKA]

Wonder if WWE would be able to snap the Hardys up before WM. Jeff clearly wants to go, not so sure about Matt.

[Banjo]

In the case of Riddle, I've read that he's pretty open about smoking weed which the WWE ain't hot on, largely after the debacle involving RVD.

Their TNA contracts are up this week so it could happen, although I think their comeback would work better as a Raw after 'Mania moment, with the smaller and smarter crowd.

[CuriousOyster]

Matt confirmed on twitter they are gone from TNA, Drew Galloway has also left.

Fastlane looking surprisingly good now with addition of Joe vs. Zayn.
