WWE: Wrestlemania 33 Discussion, Predictions, Fantasy Cards

[GKJ]

It took them forever to do it. And it was too late in the card to do it.

The 31 segment was alright. Was to long as well, but teasing Rock/HHH was cool and it was fun to see Ronda get both HHH and Steph to take bumps.

God this is bringing back memories of how much I didn't like 32. That Rock segment, and the awfulness that was the main event.

I would loooove to go to Orlando, but after the last two WMs I say pass. I have had ZERO desire to rewatch either of those shows.

That said, the draw is in all the other stuff: indie shows, possible NXT show and social media meetups.

 

[Kimi]

Well if the shows were as good as they were in Dallas, it's more than worth the trip.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I can't justify spending over $1,000 on wrestling.

 

[BonMorrison]

Guys - let's send Brendan Dassey to Wrestlemania.

[M.C.G. 31]

I don't know who that is.

 

[BonMorrison]

The teenager from Making a Murderer that was sent to prison for life is being released because of an overturn. One of the parts of the show that resonated with wrestling fans is during one of his phone calls home, he asks his mother, "Am I going to miss Wrestlemania this year?" It's super depressing so when news broke he's being released, every wrestling fan who had seen the show made the exact same comment: "he can watch Wrestlemania this year!"

 

[Kimi]

But he can't, he already missed it!

 

[BonMorrison]

It must be so awkward coming out of prison after missing 10 years worth of wrestling.

"Hey guys, how is my favorite wrestler Chris Benoit doing?"

 

[Paris in Flames]

I think I'd rather be in prison then have to see 30 minutes of HHH/Reigns.

Lucky for you, that match was only 27mins .

 

[Paris in Flames]

3 minutes of Roman celebrating!

 

[Emperoreddy]

3 minutes of HHH's insane entrance.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

3 minutes of HHH's insane entrance.

Felt like 10 minutes of Stephanie rambling on about nothing too

 

[The Gongshow]

Guys stop talking about Reigns vs HHH its giving me PTSD, lets not go back there and relive that awful moment in Wrestling history

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Felt like 10 minutes of Stephanie rambling on about nothing too

In her mind she put the crowd over.

Well if the shows were as good as they were in Dallas, it's more than worth the trip.

Even if Wrestlemania is a flop, the whole experience of being there is worth it (and addicting). I do the travel packages because it gives me peace at mind that I have everything booked, but you can also still try to upgrade your tickets by buying tickets to individual events when they go on sale separately, and then simply scalp your package tickets (that is if you go with one of the cheaper packages but still want to get floor seats for NXT or Raw, for example).

San Jose for Mania 31 had a much better atmosphere than Dallas though. I guess that's because Dallas is a much bigger city it just felt like everything was a lot more spread out. In San Jose everything was easily within walking distance. The WWE hotel was a couple blocks from our package hotel and you would see wrestlers walking around during the day time, whereas in Dallas nothing was all that close unless you had the Wrestlecon hotel which was right next to the convention center.

Regardless, there are still a lot of people who are there for the wrestling weekend and that makes for an awesome atmosphere. The parties Friday night are amazing (that's how I ended up drinking with Alicia Fox and talked to her boyfriend for a while). Saturday night after the HOF is always fun, and then the after party after Mania is a blast. The Raw after Mania is by far the best atmosphere you will ever experience for a Raw event.

[Sheppy]

I still might go to Mania this year. It will likely be a last month decision though...

 

[Emperoreddy]

What I am thinking now with future Brock booking is they seem to have turned him heel (for the better IMO). So I would book him on fantasy cards as heel right now.

I still want Nakamura/Brock for a title. Make a damn star Vince and shoot him to the moon.

 

[xtra]

The question that should be on people's minds is...who gets the undertakers retirement match?

Personally I think someone like Kevin Owens would do great with it. And unfortunately it needs to be a heel as anyone going into that match will become the heel

 

[Emperoreddy]

Cena will get it. It was going to be the match last year until Shane came in, and it is the one match that should of been a streak match.

I can understand Cena vs Taker when Taker still had his streak intact because honestly I don't know who would win, but its not like Cena needed the Taker rub also, at this point Cena and Taker should be putting younger talent over. I still don't mind Brock taking the Taker rub as long as it pays off in the end making a mega star. If they had let Wyatt or someone else beat taker originally they would have made one already and cut out the middle man being Brock.

Taker isn't putting someone over at this point. The streak was his last big job.

They are also going to want to put on the biggest money match they can, and Cena/Taker is the last big match up to do with him. Making it a retirement angle gives the intrigue.

Wyatt was never going to be the streak breaker.
