[Conrad McBenis]

Woohoo!

Stage pics are starting to leak already. Nothing too crazy yet.

 

[Kimi]

Up before Raw, so someone will have tell me what matches 15 to 17 are later. And then tell me what 18-20 are after Smackdown...


There are far too many matches here, but at least there are some good ones in there. Still no chance I'm watching live, I'm waiting for everyone else to tell me the good bits. It's just too long.

 

[BonMorrison]

Gimme dat Demon Finn entrance.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Nice to see Smackdown’s presence on that poster.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Going to the show. Going to be unbelievably long but I'm looking forward to it. Card looks pretty good to me even if the build to it all minus Kofi/Bryan has been pretty miserable.

Only other Wrestlemania I went to was 29 which was also here. It was a terrible show at the time and looking back, it somehow looks even worse. Hopefully this one is better.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They have put banners up along the lamp posts on the highway near MetLife. Thought the faves on them were interesting.

Roman, Brock, Seth, Demon Finn, HHH, Charlotte, Becky, Braun, and Asuka.

 

[Fro]

Tampa folk...The Galley in DTSP is apparently showing it, think we are going for a little bit...not sure I can do 6 hours at the bar watching this

 

[Disclose]

ya... i used to go to bars all the time for this, but the shows are so long that it becomes too expensive.
(bunch of places will show it too for the montreal people)

 

[TNT87]

Is the GDT going to be live like it is for hockey games?

 

[The Gongshow]

Really looking forward to Bryan/Kofi and Orton/Styles

 

[Disclose]

Is the GDT going to be live like it is for hockey games?

I don’t think we do that.
Its literally this.

 

[Kimi]

Is the GDT going to be live like it is for hockey games?

It depends how much the mods harass the admins to turn it into one.

We've had them in the past, so hopefully it'll happen again.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

we did it for the Rumble I believe

 

[TheGuiminator]

Wrestlemania isn’t long enough, what about a 12 hours show?

 

[Kakko]

It depends how much the mods harass the admins to turn it into one.

Don't really have to harass
If people want it, we ask, and they get on it almost right away.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I haven’t watched RAW or SD in a year just the PPVs so I am going to sound like ones of those filfthy WM casuals during the GDT

 

[Shoalzie]

If there was ever a time to start the two day WrestleMania concept...I'd do it now. With NXT on Friday, just move the Hall of Fame to late afternoon ahead of "Night 1". The roster is so bloated and they've booked themselves into too many matches for one night. They want to do good to their roster and get them involved but I hope the crowd will still have enough energy to get properly behind the women's main event.

Let's say you're doing a two-day event. Have Brock-Seth main events on Saturday and the ladies main event Sunday. Split up the title matches evenly...put Bryan-Kofi on Sunday, put Finn-Lashley on Saturday. Women's tag title match on Sunday and Joe-Rey on Saturday. Women's rumble Saturday and men's rumble Sunday. 205 Live's title match can be a fun opener for Saturday or Sunday. Split up all the feud matches. Angle's last match should be on Sunday. Put Miz-Shane on Saturday. A.J.-Orton can be Saturday and Batista-HHH on Sunday. Roman-Drew should be a Sunday match.

Saturday:
205 Live title match
Women's rumble
A.J.-Orton
U.S. title match
Miz-Shane
I.C. title
Universal title

Sunday:
Men's rumble
Roman-Drew
Women's tag match
Angle-Corbin
HHH-Batista
WWE title match
Women's title match

I'd rather watch two nights of 3-3-1/2 hour shows than one 6 or 7-hour slog.

That being said...there's enough fun stuff on the card that this will be at worst a good Mania but I wouldn't put it in the upper echelon because there's just too much show.

I'll request it to be live for Sunday.

Have to be able to run the stadium both nights

 

[BonMorrison]

I'm looking forward to a lot of it tbh. I don't think it's nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. That said, I agree that it's going to be too long, the build has been weak, and a lot of matches will be hurt if they have to be shortened.

Looking forward to seeing the following: both world titles, the Raw women's title, Orton/Styles, Demon Balor entrance, Joe's first Mania, Triple H/Batista, Reigns/McIntyre

Miz/Shane and Cruiserweight title I don't have much stock in but I think they'll be able to pull out fun matches.

Don't really care for the Women's tag titles, either of the Men's tag titles if they make it on, Angle/Corbin, or the battle royals.

 

[GKJ]

Miz and Shane is actually the only program where everything they did was relevant and made sense.

It’s one of the most stacked cards in history that’s going to be affected by the timing unless they have the show go until 2am.

I made the drive from the Boston area for that show. Picked up a friend in Connecticut, tailgated in the afternoon, the whole nine. The event was atrocious, but i had a great time throughout. Something about being in the crowd just ramps up the intensity x100. I went to a horrible Survivor Series a few years ago main evented by Orton v big Show.

Regardless of the show quality, you’ll have a blast being there.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, Manias are a blast for sure. Just get torched and enjoy it.
