The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania XL - 6/7 April 2024

[Mafro]

Been away on holiday so I've missed a lot. Haven't watched it yet but takeover sounded good. Bored of the Chimp v Gargano thing now. Great to see Matt Riddle signed finally. Not arsed about watching Summerslam at all. Charlotte as champion again zzzzzzzzzzz. Roman zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The entire main roster ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Next New Japan Destruction shows have some great matches lined up

Ma boi Taichi on his way to having all the belts

Watching Summerslam, Becky's heel turn really backfired on wwe. They clearly expected her to get booed then. The crowd eruption when she attacked Charlotte after the match

They have to make sure they capitalise on this and turn her into an ass kicking hardass, that becomes a face and not a standard heel which is watch they are probably aiming for given the face she was pulling as she walked off.

Good to see the wrestling business still learning from Beyond the Mat.

You should see this weeks being the elite(episode 116), the opening few minutes made me genuinely laugh out loud.

The “Randy shook my hand” sign on SmackDown last night.

Scurll is strawberry floated though!.....Imagine if they pulled a swerve at All In!

The All In card is abit of an odd one. Who really wants to see Cody/Aldis headlining? Nobody.

I'd be surprised if it was the main event, but to be fair the story with the Rhodes name and NWA legacy is a decent one so I don't mind too much, even if the match itself probably won't be that great.

Roided out of his mind. Turning into Scott Steiner circa 1998.

Straight to New Japan and Ring of Honor, no doubt. Would be nice if he's at All In.

Wow

Fair play to striker. Idiot should have just gone in.

[Dig Dug]

I'm astounded Vampiro didn't gooseberry fool himself doing that.

[Mafro]

I watched the first hour or so of Triplemania this afternoon (it streamed for free on Twitch and the archive is available) and Vampiro and Striker's commentary was all over the place. You could randomly hear Vampiro moaning at the production folk in the background while striker awkwardly tries to talk over him.

[Mafro]

Looks like an absolute shambles

[KK]

Makes WCW look competent. No wonder WWE has stayed well away from Vampiro.

I’d take this stupidity over dull programming though because it makes great TV. It suddenly becomes must watch to see what else can go wrong next.

Hey, at least the set looks great.
