The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

WWE are just murdering the value of their title belts, just like WCW did. There's a title change of some sort practically every other week. We're the hardcore fan & even we're losing track of what's going on.

To be fair, the belts changed a hell of a lot during the Attitude era too. This is no new thing. It's just that back then there were more compelling characters and storylines to mask the cheapening of the belts.

They had the benefit of just the 1 Heavyweight Champion, too.

This year alone there have been 17 Heavyweight title changes. 17. How is anyone supposed to keep up with that?

The tentative buyrate for Summerslam is in - 375,000 to 380,00. Down from 500,000 the year previous.

Wrestling sucks now. I might put on my best of Raw DVD later to cheer me up from this shitty illness. Violence is the best medicine.

I like the SD! DVD better.

Yeah well I don't have that

Yes you do.

No Taskmaster, I do not. Although I am tempted to buy WM 17...

Cheers KK, watching now.

Raw was a bit poo last night, haven't stayed up to watch it for a few weeks now and I wish I hadn't. The title changes are starting to annoy me as well, WWE really have devalued their championship belts.

Theres not enough main-eventers, it's the same guys over and over again battling for the belt. I hope Batista feuding with Undertaker isn't true unless Batista turns heel as it has been done to death. I'd rather they have Taker feud with Kane again than facing a face Batista. Cena and Orton for sixty minutes will be boresome. When the brands started there was enough main eventers to justify it, but now there isn't and the brands should be ended. Would be so much exciting to see one Championship belt on PPV. And what was the point of letting Miz beat Kofi yesterday? Should have done it on the PPV as it wouldn't put Kofi down if he were to lose in a triple threat.

Oh come on that would have been way to sensible for the WWE

Some UK ratings news:

So WWE might now see them as a threat?

Is the Orton/Cena ironman confirmed to be 60 minutes? I don't see it lasting that long myself

I doubt it. You have to pay extra for Sky Sports.

Well King/Cole/Cena did go on about it being '60 minutes of hell' or some gooseberry fool like that. :fp:
