Great HHH/Rollins segment, i'm probably most interested in that match than anything else on the show tbh.

Does anyone else use wrestling terms like "rib", "heel", "face", "green", "jobber" etc in everyday language when talking to a non-wrestling fan and then realize they have no idea what you're saying?

I just watched Goldberg vs Lesnar from WM 20 again and good god it was worse than i remembered rofl

Absolutely awful, i'll be impressed if Sunday's match is actually worse.

by RealGunner Tue Mar 28, 2017 4:40 pm

Main eventing lol

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 4:43 pm

On the other hand Guerrero and Angle is every bit as amazing as i remembered. :bow:

So sad that Eddie died, i wouldn't be surprised if he was still around on a Lesnar type schedule if he was alive.

by M99 Tue Mar 28, 2017 4:45 pm

He was supposed to face Shawn Michaels at WM 22 Sad

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 6:07 pm

The crowd in last 5 minutes of HBK vs HHH vs Benoit :bow:

Honestly that might be one of the things i miss the most.

Absolutely no hype for Mania this year. Didn't even know it was this Sunday lol. Feels like a B+ PPV at best imo.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 6:21 pm

The Triple Threat tag team title match is now a Ladder match.

I might be reading too much into this but i feel like that means that Matt and Jeff are debuting in this match and walking out with the titles.

You surprised lol? Card is horrible, like last year WM will be one of the worst PPVs of the year.

HHH on Reigns turning heel.

Find it hard to believe it was their plan all along to get him booed. Laughing

People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets, Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already?

If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 8:54 pm

He's just toeing the company line.

I don't expect him to speak out against the WWE at all, we'll know truly how HHH feels about all this when Vince steps down lol.

Obviously it's a bullshit response though, also i don't believe him that Reigns sells tickets. All the evidence suggests that there's multiple that sell more merchandise etc etc than him and i'm just talking about full time guys not part timers like Lesnar or Goldberg.

Pretty sure there was a report when Ambrose became champion than his B show live events that he headlined was outdrawing the Reigns led live events.

by Onyx Tue Mar 28, 2017 9:19 pm

Somehow a failed superman push for an average talent that gets booed on a weekly basis = goat heel who gets a great reaction. That spin. Proud

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 9:44 pm

Damn the pop for Hogan at WM18, felt like the arena was shaking lmao.

Also ironic that they built Hogan vs Rock as Wrestling's Past vs Wrestlings future.

When The Rock left for films in like 18 months rofl

Sigh, that time when WM had max hype and build up.

Only one I do, and I do it on the reg, is 'heel turn'. Usually pops up and I get the same blank look.

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Mar 28, 2017 10:44 pm

Jobber though, is kinda one of those words where a total non-rasslin person can sort of understand.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Mar 28, 2017 10:51 pm

Jobber is one I use regularly lmao.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:20 am

It's a shame Cena/Nikki vs Miz/Maryse will actually be bad because the promos are *bleep* amazing.

by Firenze Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:47 am

who's watching live? I'm there tbh, even though it will suck, it's Mania..the one show after Rumble I will never skip

cba installing Discord, that's why you use right? I'll make a tinychat link you can get join without signing up or use skype pls

by Firenze Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:50 am

ye I use heel turn quite often in real life and jobber too

that's about it, when i was a kid I would use Jabroni like it was going out of style Laughing

belee dat not really a wrestling term but a catchphrase, starting to use that more and more on a daily basis too, belee dat

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:51 am

Nah lol.

Just isn't worth it, even if the card was amazing and had great build i still wouldn't.

2 hour pre show and 4 to 5 hour main show is *bleep* insanity.

Last year proved to me that i'm not doing that again.

by Firenze Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:53 am

see you sunday lad

ffs forgot last year was like 6 hrs long, suddenly not seeming like it's gonna be worth it forreal, last years was ass too

saw ppl complaining that neville vs austin aries is on the pre-show and then someone else said the british title (forgot that was even a thing) is being defended in a parking lot on axxxess (I think this is like the meet and greet event a day before Mania??) rofl

soon Mania is gonna be a 48 hour event ffs

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 29, 2017 2:56 am

It's like a week long event lol, they have special things going on all week.

Plus HOF and NXT on Friday and Saturday, the amount of money they must make over this week must be obscene.

Then there's the Post WM RAW and Smackdowns.

– Triple H spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview. The highlights are below:

On fan reaction to Roman Reigns: “People can look at Roman Reigns and say, ‘The failed attempt that is Roman Reigns,’ but Roman Reigns sells tickets,” said Levesque. “Roman Reigns gets one of the loudest reactions every night, whether that reaction is a boo or whether that reaction is a cheer. The fans who say, ‘I don’t understand why they don’t turn Roman Reigns heel!’ Isn’t he already? If you believe what you believe, and you’re saying, ‘How can they not turn him heel? There is 70 percent of the crowd booing him out of the building!’ If that’s your belief, then isn’t he already the biggest heel we have? If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he’s a heel. We’re just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him.”
