You have to remember that he changed up his mage a little bit over the years.  He rode a motorcycle for a while and lost the tombstone hat.

Do you mean when he was "The American Bad-Ass"? Haha. What a crap move that was. But WWE does love that Kiiiiiiiiid Kid Rock.

Watching AEW and noone is in the crowd.  Very weird.

Moxley usually runs through the crowds but nobody there...

Still entertaining though.

They did that last week also. I've been enjoying AEW more than WWE since this all happened. RAW and Smackdown have pretty much sucked. I didn't watch NXT on Wednesday yet but they seemed to put on a good show from what i heard.

Can we all agree that if there's any leaks regarding what happened at the WrestleMania tapings that we won't discuss them in here? 

P.S Hope everyone's enjoying Gigaton!!

Not sure if this counts but apparently Roman Reigns has stepped out of the main event against Goldberg. Mainly cause he doesn't feel comfortable wrestling cause of his leukemia/health.

I also hope this isn't true that Alberto DelRio is in talks with returning to the WWE.

I missed last weeks episode so didn't see that the crowd wasn't there.

I really enjoyed Rhodes thanking the fans for watching even though the announcer was babbling over him.  It was a genuine moment that I liked.

Am starting to really enjoy AEW  When they resume playing in front of fans I will pay the money for a ringside seat even if I go by myself.

Reigns is officially out of WM 36

Wonder who Goldberg's opponent will be.  Braun?

That’s the only big guy I could think of who makes any sense.

Even rumors are a bit much for me at the moment. I'm really looking forward to watching the show (I need the escapism righty now, as I work in health/social care). I'll be back after WrestleMania.

Honestly. WWE should just make the network free this month so everybody can watch “Wrestlemania”. Hook those in that won’t buy the network and show what they are offering. What do they have to lose. I have zero desire to watch this year because the fan less matches are brutal. Why would I pay for that. I usually subscribe to the network 4-6 months a year for the big/interesting ppvs. I don’t know. Just seems like it’s time to try something else.

Watched AEW last night and the other wrestlers that were in attendance were maintaining 6'.  Very eerie to watch.  Some guys touched elbows and only a few matches rather than a whole 2 hours packed in.

tempo_n_groove

Hit Post before finishing...

I did enjoy the matches but that "fun Size" guy needs to go.  He wrestled a 6'6" guy yesterday and it just wasn't entertaining...

I took a 20yr break but started watching Raw and Smackdown again in Jan. My young boys love it. I guess I will sign up for the free WWE network trial in order to watch Wrestlemania. I was really hoping they would just show it on Fox.

best part of AEW last night was this.... Release the Hounds.  Both AEW and Next were good last night, IMO. I can't really watch Smackdown and RAW anymore. That being said i'll still be watching Wrestlemania.

The Vanguard character interests me I just wish he didn't speak like he was in a Shakespeare play.  I wonder if he will be the one to go up against The Exalted one?

The battle lines are drawn and looks like when the sides are picked this is what would happen?

Thoughts?

Well right now he's in a feud with Jericho so maybe after that? I am curious as to see who the Exalted One, Brodie Lee will face though in the meantime. Maybe Moxley?

The inner Circle will be brawling w everyone.  To me it looks like 4 different stories but I was hoping for a good guy bad guy battle.

Anybody notice the TV screen going wacky when Dolph was being interviewed last night? Went on Twitter and someone said it's happened all few times 

yeah, it happened on Raw last week also. I'm hearing it's for someone's debut or maybe return,maybe Mustafa Ali or someone new like Killer Kross.

Elimination Chamber was pretty solid i thought except for the main event. Almost went to it (friend had an extra ticket but i couldn't make it).

Has to be Mustafa Ali especially after last night's Smackdown

That AJ/Undertaker thing was good fun. Great idea under the circumstances.

Anyone watching and it cut out?

I'm watching and it cut out right after undertaker.

Was that it?

Did not expect that abrupt ending...

That wasn't worth $30...

No, Just started getting back in to it.  Following AEW more.

I've heard a few of u talking about it though.  I'd be researching older matches but I think they all exist on youtube?

It was different and I overall enjoyed it. First half kinda sucked. The Ladder match was great. Owens/Rollins match was decent. I'll skip the Strowman/Goldberg match.

Interested to see how night 2 goes.

First time I’d watched the performance center stuff. I get the biggest kick out of them working the crowd, the entrances etc.
