I just happened to realize that WrestleMania was tonight and watched it, but I've got to say it's one of the best PPVs that WWE has ever had.

Just watched it on WWE Network (via Apple TV). Gotta admit that I was impressed with the stream. Quality was pretty consistent; only buffered once, quality dropped thrice.

But that was a pretty good PPV. The Andre The Giant Battle Royale was really fun, and the championship triple threat was awesome.

I had to watch the old-fashioned, expensive as hell way (with four friends chipping in). Lucky bastards. VINCE I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY WHY DO YOU NOT WANT MY MONEY.

Great show, I'm so glad we got to have that moment again and I don't have to hear about the f**king streak anymore. Cowboys never go out the way you expect.

Not sure where it ranks in the pantheon (17->10->3 is my current top 3), but it's the first one I've needed to buy the BluRay for since 20 and we all know how that ended up.

X-7 will always be one of the best. I assume Undertaker will announce his retirement on RAW - and this means it won't ever be Sting (who basically confirmed he'll be at WM31 yesterday) vs Undertaker

Shaymin · « **Reply #454 on:** April 07, 2014, 08:42:53 AM »

Yeah, time to hang it up 'Taker.

nickmitch · « **Reply #455 on:** April 07, 2014, 02:46:13 PM »

I think he just turned 50. So, it should really be about that time.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #456 on:** April 07, 2014, 02:55:59 PM »

Apparently he suffered a head or neck injury in the match (though it didn't change the timing or finish), and had to stay in the hospital overnight, so that look on his face is probably legit.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #457 on:** April 09, 2014, 12:47:08 AM »

So...The Ultimate Warrior died. WTF?

Shaymin · « **Reply #458 on:** April 09, 2014, 08:42:58 AM »

;_;

It looks like a heart attack... the 80s and 90s claim yet another victim.

I'm just glad that he got to mend the relationship and say goodbye. Not many people get that chance in this industry. RIP

First the streak, ow Ultimate Warrior. Thanks, Obama.

Whenever I watch old wrestling matches or shows my brother and I tend to do a quick count on who is still alive. If it's any match involving more than four participants and the match is from the 80's or 90's there is a pretty good chance someone is dead. Last night we were watching the WarGames DVD and that included the very shitty '98 edition that had the Warrior in it. We observed that despite there being nine guys in the match, none of them had died yet. Well that didn't last.

When I was a kid the big three were Hogan, Savage and Warrior. Only Hogan remains and he's only 60. At the time I never assumed that so many wrestlers would die so young.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #461 on:** April 09, 2014, 06:13:26 PM »

I can't believe they had the HOF ceremony with Warrior, Jake the Snake, and Scott Hall - and Warrior is the one that dies first.

It was nice the Ultimate Warrior was able to bury the proverbial hatchet with the WWE and Vince McMahon and enter the Hall of Fame, as well as a return to Raw before he passed away. That's something we can take solace in in this sad turn of events.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #463 on:** August 17, 2014, 10:50:50 PM »

YES! I don't know if anyone watched SummerSlam, and yes, I know it's fake but...
Brock Lesnar completely obliterated John Cena, so happy to see that! New champ!

He murdered him cold. What I don't get is who is Brock going to feud with now? Its too early for Roman, DB is crazy hurt, although the dichotomy of David and Goliath works well. They've already buried anybody who had the momentum to challenge the beast, so who?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #466 on:** August 18, 2014, 08:21:13 PM »

Rematch with Cena will be first. He probably won't defend very often, that's what Paul Heyman said should happen, and I agree. I don't know who it will be after that, but surely it will end with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Randy Orton will probably get a match...probably a triple threat somewhere.

nickmitch · « **Reply #467 on:** August 18, 2014, 08:25:21 PM »

Maybe the Authority realizes they can't control Lesnar, so they throw foe after foe at him?

Shaymin · « **Reply #468 on:** August 18, 2014, 10:08:57 PM »

Brock killing everything in sight is what's best for business (tm).

Nile Boogie Returns · « **Reply #469 on:** August 19, 2014, 01:47:52 AM »

I hate that belt. Its so generic. Its got no style, no pop, no razz! TNA has a championship belt *you can set your watch to.

*Heard that Grandpa Simpson say that.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #470 on:** August 19, 2014, 07:55:42 AM »

It is stupid but it's still better than the previous (thought basically the same) WWE Championship, and all of the stupid spinner belts. The belt from the Attitude Era and the Undisputed Championship were the best.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #471 on:** January 26, 2015, 11:15:09 AM »

Anyone watch Royal Rumble last night? The RR match itself was good up until the ending, honestly if they would have put the WHC title match at the end the whole show would have come off as a much better event. Just a terrible, and completely predictable...not even predictable because it's basically like they told us a year ago what would happen...ending. But the triple threat match was probably the best I've ever seen. Everyone came out of that one looking great, and it really should have been the main event. Though I do think it's pretty obvious what will happen at WrestleMania, and hopefully I'm wrong, but Reigns will beat Lesnar, then Rollins will cash in and leave as champion.

Nile Boogie Returns · « **Reply #472 on:** January 26, 2015, 12:44:26 PM »

BUBBA RAY DUDLEY! That Philly crowd was insane the whole night, booing and cheering with no regard for heel or face! At least 1 major PPV should be here every year, (I think we get Wrestlmania 33 or 34).

They should have known to not let Daniel Bryan, the most over face since the Rock in his prime get put out the RR before the last 4. Having Show and Kane be the last 2 baddies was a mistake and kinda shows the weakness of the roster. Thought the Triple threat match was dope and that elbow through the table was the best there is. It was Shawn Michaels great. Hell, even Cena broke out a few new moves.

While I did expect "him" to win and his cousin to come out and past the "reigns" to the next gen, I still feel like WWE needs one or two more great heels.

BROCK IS A CHEAT CODE WITH TRAPS!

Shaymin · « **Reply #473 on:** January 26, 2015, 09:16:31 PM »

I think I was the only person not named "McMahon" rooting for Reigns last night because I got his number in the Rumble pool. Still, he's probably the best heel in the business right now.

Nile Boogie Returns · « **Reply #474 on:** January 27, 2015, 10:41:25 AM »

So since raw was "canceled" last night and they showed the entire Royal Rumble match, should I ask for a refund?
