The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

Looking at that pic I have no idea how they are going to fit the cell, unless the build it from the ground during some kind of interval.

That was one of the rumours going around (& therefore Undertaker/HHH was going to go on last), but how on earth you're going to erect the Cell during a video package I have no idea. That thing must weigh an absolute ton, nor is it strapped to the ring post like a normal steel cage.

A long shot is you have another ring set up somewhere else (much like the gravy bowl matches, or Lion's Den). WCW set the whole Doomsday Cage as the entrance at Uncensored 96. Problem with that is it's not particularly crowd friendly.

I just assumed they were going to build it during HHH and undertakers enterences, they'd have enough time to make it from scratch

It takes them eight hours to put together the Elimination Chamber before they hoist it up and down. I'd imagine the Cell would be the same - it'll need to be made before hand and either driven into the arena or dropped from above, I can't see them having the time and risk/safety level correct on something thrown together during an ad break.

8 hours? That's about how long it takes Undertaker to get to the ring at Wrestlemania events.

Get one of these bad boys to air lift it in

They'd only end up dropping it on the crowd.

Nothing to see here.

Noticed a few stories going around that there's a lot of "heat" on Lilian Garcia for botching Ryder's entrance on SmackDown. In recent months she's also made mistakes with John Laurinaitis & others. Cena as seen in the video from Tuesday's SmackDown then came out & introduced Chimel as someone that “knows what he’s doing.”

This was of course a joke that seems to have gone over the head of a few as Chimel constantly used to strawberry float things up, leading to much ribbing, particularly from the announcers. I posted a series of videos last year which was a compilation of footage taken during commercial breaks & post show of the commentators talking to each other (taken from the satellite feed) & one thing that always popped up was Cole taking the piss out of Tony Chimel, & having to do numerous re-takes.

Only a few weeks ago Justin Roberts lost his way on RAW.

Going to watch Smackdown for the first time in a few months tonight.

I thought it was a pretty good idea.

I don't think he wants to be responsible for any alcohol related deaths on the night.

Very good question. I'm actually intrigued but just what the hell they're going to do.

Just watching Smackdown and I can't remember them showing this Yokozuna Hall of Fame promo on Raw. Given how big he was, it's amazing just how agile he was.

Those Bella twins.

And AJ She's adorable.

-- Layla, who has been on the injured list for some time after tearing both her ACL and MCL, returned at the FCW show last night. She was said to have looked good, both in the ring and otherwise.

Can't wait till she is back.

Just had SmackDown on in the background, that Khali fella looks incredibly unhealthy. I thought he retired because of the stress on his massive body?

He left a few months ago, but they brought him back for the Elimination Chamber due to injuries and their main event roster being terrible. He's been around ever since.
