Kofi has been doing that for years at the Rumble

I was kinda surprised he or Xavier weren't in it. But then again I guess they didn't really need them.

Maybe they released these wrestlers to make room for the recently released AEW wrestlers, Malakai Black, Moro/Rusev and Ricky Starks.

Starks just showed up last night on NXT

good luck with that primadona , if starks goes to wwe with the ego he had on AEW he´s gonna be gone in no time.

Black is wwe bound for sure. HHH loved him when he ran NXT , also his wife is on smackdown

Miro/Rusev doubt it will be back. Guy was only a star because of his hot now ex-wife

Cena finally turns heel

Cena finally turns heel

Great storytelling! I Knew Cody wasn't going to "sell his soul". Didn't expect Cena to turn though. I'm guessing the reason he "sold his soul" to the Rock is to get his 17th championship and break the record. So that makes great sense and storytelling, IMO.

Solid PLE overall. Jade comes back and attacks Naomi. Most likely cause she was the one that attacked her which most people saw coming anyway. Owens/Zayn match was fun. Randy Orton is also back.

I watched most of it.  

I'm normally critical of wwe and dont watch much these days... but I thought it was an excellent ppv

The women's match was excellent.  KO vs Zayn was entertaining.  The main event was really kind of dull until they got down to the final 4 (that was the first elimination chamber i have seen maybe it's always that way).  

The way they pulled that off at the end was great.  I criticize wwe for being way too predictable, but I did not see that coming at all.  John Cena turning heel for the first time on his farewell tour is an awesome move/risk.

A moment like that you miss JR calling that

and Cody's delivery,

Hey Rock, go fuck yourself! 

I was like holy shit!!

Maybe it's good that WWE censors and uses swear words sparingly.  Maximum impact when an F bomb gets dropped.

Also given the current challenges Canada is having with the US I found the whole thing to be an analogy for current events.  Final Boss Rock is the US. Cody is Canada, and Cena was the tariff's.

I heard he got fined for saying that.

Can we talk about Wrestlemania 8?

Jearlpam0925

My random notes:

This was peak WWF

This mania was the ticking clock of the old guard.

We should've got a another Tito vs HBK match after this.

Sherri had nothing after this angle in her career, that stinks. 

LOD should've had a match here. Speaking of which, the Road Warriors never got the exposure they should have in WWE. Basically they should have held the tag title the second they showed up (also, I get it, Vince didn't like any gimmick created without him).

(Coming up on the Jake Roberts/Undertaker match)

I used to do predictions and possible matches for the big PPV's back around then. I have a binder with all that stuff (predictions, possible matches, rankings, results). I'll have to find it and see what I had for WM8.

Sucks about Kevin Owens. Dude might miss over a year cause of a neck injury. Looks like Randy Orton needs a match now for WM 41. I think Alestair Black would be a great opponent for him. Hearing Finn Balor is the most logical oppenent though.

AEW Dynasty is in philly tonight. Not going though. Have volleyball. Plus it's at the Liacouris (sp?) Center which i'm not too familiar at all with. Also AEW has kinda lost my interest as of late.

One of my favs. Bret/Piper rules. Savage/Flair rules. And the venue was cool as hell.

This is very interesting and I'd love to see more.  Hogan vs Flair should have been the main event!!!  Also funny that it would be another 5 years before Sid and Taker fought at mania.

I know I definitely did Wrestlemania IX for possible matches. I may have done 10, 11, and 12 as well as some SummerSlam ones from around that time as well. 

I also remember doing a WWF vs WCW “dream” card in the mid 90’s. I’ll have to post them soon.

I made fake PPV cards too with my action figures when I was younger lol.  Once I hit high school I stopped lol.  

I remember Triple H was pretty much always world champion, which ended up being true in real life too

MayDay10

Once you hit high school, you stopped admitting it, ha.

I remember in high school we had an underground knee hockey league/tournament and everyone was obsessed with it.  We had a lot of "cool" people involved and nobody was allowed to speak of it.  It was a frigging blast though.  So nerdy.   We had banners of teams who won, music during breaks, goal horns, etc.
