The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Will the Hall of fame ceremony be on tv/Sky?

Haven't seen it advertised. We have had it live in the past but in the last couple of years of think its been shown like a week after wm. Also I'm not even sure that they showed it last year.

[KK]

It's on Monday at 10pm on Sky Sports 3 HD, which is a few hours before it goes out on the USA Network.

The only way to see the entire ceremony is to buy the DVD.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if Kane might win. Heel wins are tricky to predict this year outside of Team Johnny and I don't see just one match end with the heels winning

[Codename 47]

I've no idea who it is in that picture.

I'm glad i'm not the only that didn't realise who it was at first Hell, without my contacts in, I swear he looks more like Scott Maslen from Eastenders than Edge

William Hill are offering some Wrestlemania odds now as well. The one thing I'm loving about this years 'Mania is there there is a lot of matches that you feel could easily go either way. I was thinking that too Skippy but part of me thought because this is Wrestlemania I just feel like they're more likely to go with more Face wins than heels but you never know. Like Sheamus and Bryan...it almost seems too obvious that Sheamus will come out with the win. Same with Jericho and Punk. In ring he hasn't done too much since he returned but after the hype and fanfare of his return, I think he'll go onto to win the title at 'Mania to justify all that hype.

I've said that part of me has a feeling that HHH may well pull off a shock against Undertaker this year. The one match I really can't call is the John Cena/Rock match. I would like a Rock win but I wouldn't mind Cena winning just to see how the Miami crowd would react

[Skippy]

Punk needs to Cena his way through this feud with Jericho to establish him as a main eventer. You think they're going to give the title to someone who hasn't been on Raw in person for the last three weeks?

Punk needs to win dammit

[KK]

As Extreme Rules is in Illinois (just off chicago, I believe), you could have Jericho win at WrestleMania & then have Punk win it back at ER.

Punk needs to win dammit

Even The Rock has been there more than Jericho!

[gaminglegend]

Apparently it costs up to $90 to meet Edge as he was in the VIP area, bit of a piss take when you consider how much money it costs at least for International Fans to get there, get hotels, get axxess passes and WM tickets. They must rake it in at WM and Summerslam weekends

[Skippy]

As Extreme Rules is in Illinois (just off chicago, I believe), you could have Jericho win at WrestleMania & then have Punk win it back at ER.

Something that, if it wasn't Jericho, would have people complaining about hot-shotting the title.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a watch on Monday.

Former Team USA wrestling bad ass Kurt Angle has hit a major hurdle in his quest to return to the Olympics ... telling TMZ he sustained a major injury that could put an end to his journey.

Angle -- who won a gold medal for heavyweight freestyle wrestling at the '96 games -- just called in to "TMZ Live" and explained, "I injured my hamstring this morning ... it is a tear."

The 43-year-old says the injury occurred during a training session this morning ... and he has an MRI scheduled for tomorrow.

Angle tells us, "I still plan on going [to the Olympics] ... I've been training for a whole year now ... so it all depends on how it heals ... but if this tear is really bad, there's a chance I may not go."

Now who didn't see this excuse coming. They even joked about it a couple weeks ago on the Wrestling Observer Radio that Kurt Angle would pull this gooseberry fool, though Bryan still believed he'd at least show up for trials.

Well, as we all know, he won the 1996 Olympics with a broken neck, so a hamstring injury shouldn't cause him much difficulty

Is Fishy the first person to predict a Team Teddy win?

Something that, if it wasn't Jericho, would have people complaining about hot-shotting the title.

I was going to say it would be another game of Hot potato with the title. I considered that scenario should Jericho win but it would almost seem like a pointless title reign were he to lose the title at the next PPV. If Y2J wins the title he should hold it for a decent amount of time.

[KK]

Does make more sense for the Face to be chasing after the championship, & they've got to do something at Extreme Rules because nobody is buying this PPV. Jericho wins in some sort of screwy fashion & then Punk regains it in front of his hometown to a big pop.

At least the WWE & World Titles haven't changed hands in over 4 months now.

Is Fishy the first person to predict a Team Teddy win?

Someone had to.

Believe.
