Oh basically with CDN it means you connect to a server close to you geographically, rather than directly to America. The idea is to make it as fast as possible but if I'm having no problems and you are it sounds like your local server is poop. Not much you can do if you say other services are fine.

I'm hoping mania is well paced. I'd love to have the energy to stay up till the end, just depends how exciting it is.

Yup, according to the Network schedule.

Cena has been spotted in the audience already. I'm hyped.

Wouldn’t it have been great if they never did any of this Taker/Cena stuff and instead Taker was Braun’s surprise tag partner!? He could just show up for the night, do a tombstone or whatever and then head away again and let Braun defend the titles on his own like he wants to! Too late now though, ah well!

Both Battle Royals on the pre-show. They literally mean nothing. Surprised Banks and Bayley didn't get a singles match.

Hyped to see what big surprises and twists there are to fuel Raw & SD this week.

Usually I'd scoff at all the recaps on the preshows but I only know what's happening tonight through post wrestling so I'm fine with this.

Do we think Ronda will be any good at fake wrestling? It's an entirely different thing to MMA.

At least this venue appears to have got the crowd in there already, so the pre-show matches won’t be in an empty arena this year.

I can’t see him.

Oh god they're actually going with Cena just sitting in the crowd :lol:

I think these recap videos are probably the ones they'll be showing before the matches. That's what they always seem to do.

Now that’s what always irritates me, as if a 7 Hour show needs padding out.

Can't wait to see how ridiculously over the top Triple H and Steph's entrance is this year.

Is the first hour of this preshow just going to be all the video packages for each match? :dread:

Everything we've seen from her so far seems overly choreographed or rehearsed. I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but I'm curious.

I'm looking forward to see Angle, apparently the last time we saw him (Survivor Series?) he worked through a minor injury, so hopefully we'll get a better performance from him this time.

Still dreading the looming spectre of Carmella and briefcase. Asuka's streak better be intact by 'Mania's end.

I think the 2nd Hour is airing on USA Network and there’s supposed to be 3 matches on the KickOff.

A returning Alicia Fox has apparently been pulled off the show due to a verbal altercation she had with Ronda Rousey’s husband in a hotel the other night. The video was then sent to The Sun.

I’ve not read any reports of Fox being difficult backstage so he must have been an arse.

In ring action is go!

Why have they put Saxton out there. :fp:

Her husband is a UFC fighter and was accused of domestic violence by his previous wife. He's got a reputation for being a dick.

I’ve only just noticed Kane is in this match.

As much as I don't like Roman the "Brock Lesnar didn't show up for work today" line is great.

Do you think he knows wrestling isn't real?
