The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Corazon de Leon]

My mind be strawberry floated. I want Rock to win though, mainly due to having held an allegiance to the guy right through the attitude era.

[Prototype]

This is good though... people actually give a gooseberry fool about the outcome of a wrestling match.

I doubt even the wwe know whos going over at this point

Just listening to this weeks Review-a-Wai (Wrestlemania 2000) and they raise a good point that it's the only WM that is out of order as the rest are 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 25m 26 etc. Anyone know why?

You mean Wrestlemania 16?

Rock wins in Miami in front of his home crowd.

Cena gets his heat back the night after on RAW by laughing it off and making a few jokes.

[1cmanny1]

I would imagine that would be the case. Or he will do on about how good the match was and he was happy to be part of it etc.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Imagine the riots if Cena beat The Rock clean but did so using the Rock Bottom/People's Elbow.

I'd actually love that to happen just to see the crowd and Internet explode

It was purely down to it being the year 2000. Everyone was renaming shows that year with 2000. It was a big deal at the time with the new century and all that.

Still makes the spine shiver.



Heyman's line before the Promo is just awesome too.

It's just amazing, even the crowd's aura adds to the hush before the promo it felt like something big was going to happen and it did. Everytime I hear that song now, all I can see is Rock getting stunnered by Stone Cold, 11 years later it's still ingrained in my memory

Why would Cena losing be bad for business? Business is stagnant at the moment aside from his merch sales. The company needs a new direction. Cena should lose and they should push on with a new era with Punk, Bryan, Barrett stepping in to replace Cena as lead star.

Cena winning would just send out a message that they are keeping the status quo in my opinion. Plus if Rock loses, next time he comes back it won't be a big deal.

I'm honestly dreading having Cena back in the title picture next year over guys who should be pushed.

[Skippy]

Because if Rock wins then he beats the number one guy in the company. If you want to build stars to take over the Cena role then Cena needs to be kept the undoubted top guy (preferably as a cocky, grinning heel because of it) until he's beaten and the torch is passed.

Rock will always be a big deal coming back unless he continually loses. If he were to win in Miami that would be the perfect end to his career as a wrestler and he could quite happily put an end to his career there end it there, but we know he's going to keep on wrestling.

[KK]

For those wondering, that John Cena perfume/fragrance/cologne doesn't actually exist. Well, there's nothing on Google or wweshop.com anyway. The amount of gooseberry fool WWE come out with, it genuinely wouldn't have surprised me if they did bring something like that out.

The problem is, Cena is not the number 1 guy in the company. He may be in terms of merch sales, but the vast majority of fans don't see him as the best in the ring out of the current roster. In many respects, Cena's era is coming to an end. I honestly don't think it will be bad for business at all if Rock wins, if anything it would give them even more publicity.

Any idea if or where I can get Review-A-Wai's review of TNA Bound For Glory 2005? It's supposed to be their next review after Badd Blood 97 but the next one in their archives is Buried Alive.

I'd argue Punk was the number one guy in the company now.

Then why isn't he facing Rock? Punk is the number one face in practise (in theory they want it to be Cena) but I never mentioned faces or heels, just the number one guy, who is still Cena.

[Mockmaster]

Isn't Punk actually beating Cena in merchandise now?
