The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Banjo]

Can I take part in GRAPL?

Yeah, sure. Open to everyone. To be in with a chance of winning though, it's probably best to start when the new season does (First PPV after WrestleMania).

I'll join in now, just to get the feel for it. When I've looked at past rounds I've been all too guilty of picking results that I'd like to see, as opposed to what will likely happen. No better way to learn than to fail disastrously.

I still do that.

Perry Saturn, 45, is coming out of retirement as he is scheduled for AWE's Night of the Legends pay-per-view event on October 15 in Fisherville, Virginia.

Following his last match in 2006, Saturn seemingly disappeared from public view and was not seen for several years. The former WWE Superstar resurfaced late last year and revealed in an interview that after being shot by a firearm, he became addicted to methamphetamine and was homeless for a few years. He claimed to be sober and expressed interest in a return to the squared circle.

Much love for this absolute hero.

I'm surprised they didn't do a better job of keeping it under wraps rather than announcing it so casually like that.

Rock will turn on Cena at somepoint during SS. He's been promising for months that he was gonna do something to Cena at SS. I don't necessarily think it makes him the heel in their feud though. Being a event like SS I can see us getting a more 'hardcore' crowd and they'll probably cheer him out the building for sticking it to Cena. The Rock has his natural popularitycombined with the fact that large proportions of fans boo Cena every week. 'best' way for Rock to turn proper heel and have everyone boo him is by having say stuff like he don't care about the WWE or he's bigger than the whole company

Hmmm not sure what to make of that HBK thing to be honest. Obvious money would be him coming to help his buddy but I don't know. Unless the clique is reforming at NOC...Punk isn't the sort of guy you expect HHH to need help dealing with. Especially as he's still technically a face. With it being no DQ, I'm expecting all sorts of run ins in that match..

Even more so when you bear in mind that the event is at Madison Square Garden, where they tend to be even more vociferous.

They're all from when TNA iMPACT! moved to Monday nights for a few weeks back in 2010. Highlight is Eric Bischoff 'playing' the guitar to open one of the shows.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

And WWE.com have now officially confirmed it:

WWE sources have confirmed that The Rock and John Cena will be a part of a Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Tag Team Match.

Stay tuned for more details

Who needs any build up or reasoning! Lets just throw it out there on Twitter & .com.

I'm expecting some form of unintentional miscommunication that will lead to either one or both being eliminated consecutively, ultimately leading to their team losing the match.

Do I have faith in WWE? No, none. Rock vs. Cena is going to be massive on the night no matter what happens; maybe WWE should rename everything they do One Night Only because when it comes to anything sustained or logical they're hopeless.


And the week TNA returns to Orlando, their ratings go back up again (1.2). You have to laugh...

Looks like any further arena tv tappings could be out of the question then.

I can't find any logical reason for WWE announcing that rock will be wrestling at SS via Twitter and .com as opposed to announcing it on raw as part of some promo, video or interruption from the rock. Even if rock wasn't available for an appearance on raw before SS then surely announcing it on Raw first still would have been the logical step.

Interest in TNA links has died so I haven't supplied them in a while.
