The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Cosmo]

Thought the PPV was quite enjoyable bar Orton winning. I really hope Jericho isn't leaving though.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

It was very strange seeing Barrett, Edge, Orton, Cena and Seamus all just stop in the middle of the ring and watch Jericho walking out. Very surreal.

I'm very much hoping that the "Jericho leaving" thing is a swerve to get him out for a few months so he can do his tour with Fozzy, and then get him back in again around the middle of next year. The WWE main event scene can't lose Shawn Michaels and Jericho in the space of six months - the two best wrestlers will have gone.

I hope that's the case but i'm really not sure. For some reason everytime Jericho leaves he does it as a result of a "if i don't win then i leave" stipulation. He did say in an interview earlier in the year that his focus was now on getting new, young talent over or something like that. This may mean that he has intentions to come back or he may have already done this for example with him being Wade's mentor and his mini fued with Bourne, being two of the things that spring to mind.

I can't quite work out the long term booking logic of Orton winning last night. All I can think of is that they wanted to immediately capitalise on the strong reactions he's been receiving. Where do they go from here? Sheamus will surely get his re-match at HiaC.

Indeed. I think he will defend and win against Sheamus at HIAC, but i think his long term fued will either be with Wade & Nexus or The Miz. However i'm expecting the Miz to continue with fued with Bryan and not cash in his MITB until maybe the new year.

I can't belive the announcers didn't mention the 'Jericho leaves WWE' stip when he was eliminated, instead coming up with some bullshit about the other guys being shocked that he'd been eliminated so quickly. Those mongs really need to start using their brains.

I just couldn't work it out either. If when a lot of the crowd were waving and some chanting 'Goodbye' they didn't realise. I can only assume he will be on RAW though, as i said before, he did say that he wouldn't leave until he found out who the RAW GM was.

[Mockmaster]

Oh my God. What if Jericho is the Raw GM?

I'm only suggesting this because it makes the least sense.

That's why it MUST happen.

Even better if Jericho now has multiple personality disorder and Y2J is the GM.

Keeping this quick. Tired.

And the winners are..........................NO ONE. In a TNA style turn of events it's a stone cold draw. Same team scores and they all scored seven each. A downright fix if I ever did see one. There must be a winner so now we get part two of the grand finale at Hell in a Cell in two weeks time. Try to get a result this time, wankers.

Lucien is still top because he pussied out and predicted purely against his competitors instead of trying to win. It will undo him eventually.

[Skippy]

Oh gooseberry fool yeah!

[gaminglegend]

Nice to make my return with a victory at the top

[Mockmaster]

Holy gooseberry fool. The Purists are still in this

Why am I not surprised by the thread title?

When I read it this morning my first thought wasn't "WHAT THE strawberry float?!? " it was "Oh ffs "

[sw26]

Holy gooseberry fool my GRAPL score was apalling this month.

Can I be the first to petition for tomvek's score to count please? He edited it 4 minutes into the PPV which I know is against the rules, but he checked out a Kofi Kingston win. Which obviously didn't happen. Pls put his score on the leaderboard.

Exactly what i did the first time. I changed it to Randy Orton and he lost that night. If i don't get the points and DQ'd , He should be aswell

Ok DML.

If I broke them now then everyone would have to be exempt and Zemo would start up again.
