I tried to summon Stephen "SPDK1" Kelley, our greatest wrestling fan of all-time in time time for Wrestlemania but I've gotten no reply. Hope he returns!!


LOL! I'm here man :P I didn't realize you messaged me on PSN for some reason until today. I'm pumped for 'Mania so far watching the HOF ceremony as we speak.



Around the Network

Hey folks long time no see and all that :P Work has been busy lately so I've been bad about coming here as much as I should. This year's Wrestlemania looks pretty awesome, perhaps my most anticpated one in around 5 years or so. I'm glad there aren't any comedy matches or celeb matches this year, and so far it looks like we will be spared a drawn out musical performance that nobody wants. I got "The Network" day 1, and have been loving it so far. Even stuff like Countdown, which should have been lame, has turned out to be awesome.

Here are my WM predictions since we're all predicting stuff around here, hopefully I haven't missed anything :P

-30-man battle royal for the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy -I hope they use this as a way to get somebody over, so I'd love to see Ziggler take it home, but I have a feeling they might give it to The Big Show because of his past as being billed as "The Son of The Giant" and all that jazz.

-The Shield vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws six-man tag team match - I'm hoping the Shield goes over, but I bet this match will surprise people. I'm hoping we see some creative spots like other Shield matches.

-14-Diva single-fall match for the WWE Divas Championship - I bet Nikki Bella ends up with it. I used to hate on the Bella Twins quite a bit, but they have really stepped up their games as of late.

-The Usos vs. Los Matadores vs. The Real Americans vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel - I bet the Usos win and it will be because of in-fighting within the Real Americans leading to their inevitable split.

-John Cena vs Bray Wyatt - Either Wyatt needs to win -OR- I'd love to see Cena win, but not clean. I hope he's forced to cheat in order to do it, thus tarnishing what he stands for. This would build the feud and give Wyatt more awesome promos. If Wyatt looks happy and surprised by this it'd be even better.

-The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar- Taker's going to win, and I hope we see Sting in the rafters teasing WM 31.

- HHH vs. Daniel Bryan - Bryan's going to win and go on into the main event.

- Bootista Vs. Orton Vs. ??? - I hope Bryan wins in order to get the awesome image of all those fans freaking out. As long as Davey Boy doesn't get the strap I'm happy.

You came back!!  I knew you would!! *wipes teardrop*  They said you were gone forever but I never doubted!

Deadpool, you missed out on a bit of a rebirth of the wrestling scene on this site.  Lots of discussion in other threads--successful ones too--about what's going on in the pro wrestling world.  Hope you stick around, man.  From the games to the events, you were always the man!

I'll definitely try to, I need to check in more often on here, folks seem to think I hate the site or something...lol. Since I haven't bought a PS4 yet I've been lurking around occasionally, but not posting for whatever reason.


I'm glad this area has been hopping! Wrestling has been fire hot for this whole year, I sense we are on the cusp of another boom period, and I'm excited that Indy stuff has been getting some love. After 'Mania I reallycan't wait for the upcoming Chikara show. 



Prediction

Bryan beats Trip, Trip tries to screw Bryan in the main event.

Risky prediction I know.



                            

Around the Network

^ least risky if you'd ask me, since I'm also going along with that, but I'm gonna say Batista is gonna end up with the titles, orton got stale as champ.
Does anyone else think dean ambrose is gonna do something? he seems even more crazy as of late


I hope somehow they implement the brand split again, more wrasslers getting exposure and more new guys!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

There are so many trap matches here where one guy or team SHOULD win that I think the WWE is going to have to think outside the box and throw in some surprises. The downside of that, of course, is that such swerves often suck.

For example, Bray Wyatt needs to go over against Cena, even if he loses the match. Cena coming out on top really does nothing for him, it would just be a big set-back for the Wyatt Family's momentum. The standard thing to do here would be the Family interfering but this is Wrestle Mania--the usual interference angle would, and should, be considered a lame cop-out. They're going to need to be clever with this match or it could blow up in their faces.

Rollins/Ambrose should win the titles pretty soon but they might prioritize their split with Reigns before that. This could be a drama match with a swerve.

The Bryan situation is hella tricky, especially. Bryan should win both matches, he really should, but that would be so obvious that it would almost be a disappointment. There HAS to be some kind of craziness involved. Like Punk coming back and giving DB a GTS so he loses, something like that.

That's why I'm not really going to make any predictions, as I think there will be a lot of side-action with these matches and a good dose of controversy. Still, if I had to bet, I'd say that Batista walks out with the title.



This are my predictions:

Fatal 4-Way Tag Team match - The Usos will win this one.

30 man Battle Royal - Either Sheamus or Dolph Ziggler.

Bryan vs HHH - Bryan will get hit with a chair, getting HHH disqualified. Probably, they will hype Bryan's status as unable to participate in the match, but still does.

The Shield vs Kane and the N.A.O. - My money is on The Shield winning.

John Cena vs Bray Wyatt - This is a tough one. I see Bray Wyatt winning. Cena might be strong and determined, but he has never faced Wyatt before. Bray will play with Cena's mind and capitalize. But one part of me says Cena is gonna win it just because.

Divas Championship Invitational - AJ Lee

The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar - The Undertaker will obviously win it.

Randy Orton vs Batista vs Daniel Bryan - After going against the odds (injuries from previous match, HHH interference, Orton and Batista double teaming on Bryan, multiple finishers), Bryan will win the match.

Maybe I'm being too hopeful, but this is what I think how it will go down. I'm gonna laugh so hard if I only manage to get one match right.



Will there be a dedicated Wrestle Mania thread or will discussion take place here?

Because right now there is a "Legacy of John Cena" clip playing and I really, really want to talk about it.



Cole talking about "Rocky Mountain Oysters" with regards to El Torrito. That upsets me on multiple levels.

Should I drink beer while watching MW tonight? y/n?

Four-way tag match starting as a predictable Mexican gimmick match. Hope that changes as it goes on and teams are eliminated.

Man, I love watching Cesaro wrestle. Excellent match when it got down to the Usos vs. the Real Americans. Not the popular choice of winners, though.
