Sting retiring. neville out

Wrestlemania looks pretty weak. NXT Dallas Takeover might be better than Wrestlemania

I'm really not a fan of the WM card at all. Usos vs Dudleys? Really!?!?

A few months ago I thought we would be looking at:

Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose for the belt
Rock vs Triple H or Rock vs Brock
Cena vs Taker

Now that's all off the table

Yeah, all these injuries have really killed this wrestlemania card. I have a feeling Shane/Undertaker is going to be pretty bad. Taker is old and can't do much anymore and Shane is 45 and hasn't wrestled in almost a decade. Brock/Ambrose should be pretty good. Also sounds like there's going to be a 4-5 man match for the IC title...I always enjoy anything that involves Kevin Owens. He's the best.

i think a cm punk return would save wrestlemania...i mean, in my dreams, because it's never going to happen. sigh.

It totally would.

Punk is one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time. He might actually be my favorite. Really helped me, along with many others, get through the PG era still a fan.

DewieCox

If there is no one that's already on the card that can save it, then Punk couldn't either. Most overrated of all time. If it was in Chicago, I might agree, but there are several that are a bigger draw and can put on a match as good as Punk already appearing. It was hardly a blip on the radar when he left.

yeah, i still love wrestling and going to live shows, but i haven't watched much in the past few years. a punk return would rejuvenate my interest. he (along with edge and christian) is one of my favorites too. his match against taker at mania a few years ago is one of my top 5 matches. so glad i got to witness that in person.

That's pretty cool, last night i was flipping through the stations and came across Ring of Honor in the philly area.

injured stars:
Seth Rollins
John Cena
Sting
Cesaro
Randy Orton
Neville
Luke Harper
Nikki Bella

one reason Wrestlemania isn't gonna be so good. Hopefully they at least make appearances there

Wonder if Jericho and Triple H would be on the card if that wasn't the case. Maybe Jericho.

If it wasn't for the older guys. Like Triple H, Jericho, Brock, and Taker. The only match I would look forward to is the women's match. Hopefully Sasha wins.

Last RAW before WM...hope its good.

PJSiren

Just a cool random tidbit....I just found out a friend of mine dated Dave Bautista way back when....and they're still good friends....she posted a pic with him online and I thought it was a meet and greet or something and I commented that I just freaking love him(have a major crush) and she texts me and says yeah I dated him way back when...like a long time ago before he was famous....lol She knew him when.... I was like NO WAY! haha

eeriepadave

eeriepadave

Just read the results- I'll have to catch a highlight

For WM, Rollins saved 31 so I hope he shows up for 32.

Pearl34Jam

Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura was amazing last night. 5 stars in my book.

eeriepadave

gonna catch NXT later today

SVRDhand13

The perfect ending to WM IMO:

Taker destroys Shane. Let's Shane pin him to destroy the authority. Roman turns heel with the help of Vince. Think total destruction of triple h and turning his back on the Rock and Ambrose).

Raw- Shane and Vince says it was their plan all along to keep the company from Stephanie/triple h. The game teams up with a returning Rollins to try and overrun the new regime.

Wouldn't know that was Jimmy Garvin if I saw him on the street, And did Kevin Von Erich say "The New Gay?"

igotid88

Why didn't Sasha Banks induct her cousin Snoop?

i thought he said that too. maybe it was his accent, but still funny

I wouldn't have thought that was jimmy garvin as well.

igotid88 said:

Thought she was suppose to, maybe she got cold feet? who knows. i didn't even know they were related until snoop mentioned it.

the fabulous freebirds induction was too long. snoop's was my fav speech. missed he godfather's induction cause of the nova game.

also caught half of NXT Takeover from last night today. Will watch the rest of it tomorrow.

eeriepadave

igotid88

I checked twitter and it was confirm that Kevin said gay. maybe it was a slip

eeriepadave

saw NXT Takeover Dallas. Very solid PPV card. Yeah that Sami Zayn/Shinsuke Nakamura was so far match of the year. American Alpha/Revival match was alsogood. Glad American Alpha won, i like them. Kinda surprised Bayley lost, maybe she's moving up to the main roster soon? Samoa Joe/Finn Balor match was probably the worst match on the card. It was ok except the refs/doctors kept on checking on joe for liek half the match cause of the cut on his eye.

And now my Wrestlemania 32 predictions:
Roman Reigns over Triple H over the belt
Shane McMahon over The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell (I know Taker said this wouldn't be his last Wrestlemania but would like to see Shane O shake up Raw. I think either Cena or Sting gets involved somehow).
Brock Lesnar over Dean Ambrose
AJ Styles over Y2J
Sasha Banks over Charlotte and Becky Lynch for the Diva's belt
Kevin Owens retains the belt in the ladder match (but would love to see Dolph or Sami win)
André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal- I'll go with Kane
Ryback over Kalisto
Dudley Boyz over The Uso's
New Day over League of Nations
Team Total Divas over Team B.A.D. (no one cares about this match though, right?)

I have almost the same exact picks! Just two differences for me- Kalisto keeps the belt and a Wyatt wins the battle royal- hopefully Bray but probably Strauman.

igotid88

Shouldn't all title matches be in the main card? The Kalisto/Ryback match was in the pre-pre-show

Finally bringing back the women's belt

So glad they did that

igotid88

I know Paige wanted to bring it back. In her interview with Stone Cold. She let it slip that she didn't like the diva's belt
