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.  

Haha that's awesome. It helped to stop watching because when I was a freshman they botched the invasion angle.

I used to rearrange my old LJN wrestler posters on my wall and tape a little "vs" between them to make matches. 

We also used to have a wrestling "lawn league" where we'd legit have matches where we'd do real moves on each other on my front lawn. Man that shit hurt. Especially when someone belly to back suplexed me. Damn near knocked me out cold. 

No wonder they came out with the "don't try this at home" campaign.

Can we talk about Wrestlemania 8?

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.

Found’e

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.

Jeez, I did Wrestlemania possibl;e matches up to Wrestlemania XX. ANd I did WWF vs WCW a few years in the mid 90's. Those were fun to look at.

Jearlpam0925

Whoa. Speaking of the worst WrestleMania, Becoming A Spectacle on Peacock is pretty good. Hilarious to hear Hogan tell the jetski story, too, lol

eeriepadave

Was watching some of Wrestlemania IX last night. Yeah overall not too good but there are a few good matches in it. Also found my predictions and possible match ups for the event . Also here is my first WWF vs WCW dream matchups from ‘94. 

HughFreakingDillon

That ending to WM9 with Hogan going over was absolute dogshit. Even as a Hogan mark growing up watching him, I hated it. 

Jearlpam0925

It's hilarious seeing him interviewed on this doc, like someone being abused trying to believe they hit the doorknob with this jet ski story over Savage knocking him out lol

Absolutely was I a Hogan mark but definitely remember feeling bad about feeling excited when he won this, like something was very much off yet 10 year old me couldn't articulate. Like you could tell leading up to this everything felt wrong with him being there. I remember it being very weird when he was on Monday Night Raw before all this.

Anyway, remember kids 1) don't have idols 2) I am very much glad to see him get dragged these days knowing everything we now know.

HughFreakingDillon

now he's claiming he invented entrance music. this guy will lie about and take credit for literally ANYTHING.

WWE acquires AAA 

MayDay10

surprised they started out with that

Jearlpam0925

Two things: 1) watching my kid hooked on WrestleMania is fun; 2) him being as if not more excited for the women's matches is awesome (2b it is awesome to watch everyone boo Dana white)

Jearlpam0925

That's a good finish

Imo Rollins should be the top heel in the company

I think they're gonna regret trying to put Jey Uso over.

The matches themselves were for the most part good, but yes kinda boring also besides the main event. The LA Knight/Jacob Fatu match was good also I thought.

Didn't post my predictions on here but this was mine from night 1

Jey Uso over Gunther

New Day over Viking Raiders

Naomi over Jade Cargill

Jacob Fatu over LA Knight

Rey Fenix over El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) (didn't think they would have fenix lose his WM debut)

Tiffany Stratton over Charlotte Flair

CM Punk over Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins (I wasn't sure on this one and went with my heart)

my night 2 predictions:

Iyo Sky over Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley (I want Rhea to win but I don't think it'll happen, some kinda shenanigans)

Dom Mysterio wins the fatal 4 way (Dom screws over Finn)

AJ Styles over Logan Paul (I can see Logan winning this though, too close to call)

Drew McIntyre over Damian Priest (See above/too close, should be a great fight/match)

Liv and Raquel retain over Lyra Valkyria and mystery partner

Randy Orton vs mystery opponent. I think it's gonna be Rusev now. Would rather see Alester/Malakai Black but I'm guessign the Smackdown vignettes were for him and he's gonna debut next week. That being said I'll go with Rusev over Randy Orton.

John Cena over Cody Rhodes (heart says Cody, but head says Cena)

eeriepadave

Awesome opening match to start night 2.

hearing rusev might not be randy orton’s mystery opponent now. Maybe Sami zayn??? He’s not involved in wrestlemania so far and he is Kevin Owen’s oldest friends…

Joe Hemdry? Meh 🫤. Orton should win this one I would think.

Jearlpam0925

I gotta say this Mania has no juice. Seems like it's all tied up in the main event,which fingers crossed it comes close to the hype.

igotid88

When did people start liking Dom?

igotid88

Too much tongue
