The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Skippy]

Pic of the Wrestlemania set so far...

[Zartan]

Just seen that in Bath next month: MICK FOLEY: TALES OF WRESTLING PAST

Does anyone know if his show is meant to be any good?

[Jam-Master Jay]

I thought Mania was another week or two away.

I'll probably stream it live as it's always entertaining and a lot better than the majority of other PPV's. Wrestling Thread chat always makes the event better too.

I think a couple of people from here saw one of his shows IIRC. Lots of praise from what I've heard.

Fantastic start to Review-A-Wai

In regards to the urn discussion, I always assumed they were Undertaker's own ashes.

[Floex]

Ahh, that time of year where I watch a sport that I wouldn't watch any other time, see Superbowl/Wimbedon.

Card doesn't do much for me but I think the 3 main events will be brilliant thanks to New York crowd. I just want to hear them boo HHH out of the building Infact I'm banking on the crowd to get through all the crap on the lower end of the card. Looking forward too seeing Dean Ambrose wrestle, remember watching promos of him a couple years back and that dude has got it.

God I hadn't even thought about the hot crowd. I am strawberry floating buzzing right now. One more shift at work and then it's clear running.

[Balloon Sod]

Eugh tell me I haven't really taken the day off work to watch Wrestlemania ..... 25 years old and taking days off to watch wrestling

I'm 29 and i've taken the day off to watch WM.

Worrying thing is, my boss suggested I do it, after I watched it live then went in for work last year and was in a terribe state due to no sleep

Another one who has taken the day off to watch Mania.

I've also booked the day after Summerslam off too.

My mate has gone to watch it in person for the 2nd year running. He has no interest in it

Listened to twenty minutes of this on the way home, I'll assume you're on about the 10 minute discussion on toilets.

You going? No ways! You going to the hall of fame and stuff? Oh man, New York is one of the greatest crowds. Cheering on the heel, shitting on the baby face, I reckon they are going tear Cena/Rock a new one

[Cosmo]

Word on the Twitter machine is that Martha Hart and WWE have settled their dispute over the usage of Owen Hart on television.

They'll probably just stick him in the HOF on Sunday along with the rest of the WWE roster.
