OT: Wrestlemania
- Thread starter RUfanSinceAnderson
- Start date
I was going to ask you if you wanted to check it out on PPV, but I looked at the matches and I literally only recognized a few names. Is the WWE all watered down now?
MetLife Stadium has been hosting WWE 35th Wrestlemania tonight and they have been shooting off fireworks periodically all night. It's 12:25 a.m. and they just shot off another round. I don't care because I like fireworks but there's going to be an awful lot of groggy, ticked off commuters going into the city later this morning!
Just got back. I thought show was good not great. A few great moments and a lot of other basic stuff.
Just got home. Loved it all except boring Hhh v Batista match
I saw those guys walking thru parking lot with table and should’ve known something was up

WWE still has the best talent but the writing is not good. I haven't watched it regularly since the attitude era but I keep up with it online.
I watch NJPW because of the action and the fact that it's not storyline driven beyond the basic idea of wrestling for titles. I watch it every week on ASX tv channel. It's awesome. I would have loved to go to the Garden but it sold out in minutes months ago.
Just curious , how many of you that follow “Professional Wrestling “ actually watch real wrestling,eg, Rutgers Wrestling, Olympic and International (freestyle & Roman Greco) and even High School ( HS and college are Folk style)?
Are all the outcomes of Professional a Wrestling match predetermined?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking it , I even watched a lot as a teen, and it’s hysterical and entertaining, but stopped following it many years ago .

Don’t watch any other wrestling. Am a causal MMA fan. Outcomes are pre determined but the athleticism is real.
He's young not even 30. lol He grew up watching, so I guess she wanted to surprise him with tix. I did too, but I'm talking Hulk Hogan days. :weary:

NJ Transit apparently put the figure four on patrons trying to leave via the train.
Haha I started with Chief Jay Strongbow as my favorite so you know that goes back a ways.
Sounds awesome. The writer (Jame Kratch) finally caught a train at 3 a.m. and lost the parking discount because he parked beyond the 12 hour discount. And Kratch thinks the RU Football is train wreck?
Remember when Phil Murphy vowed to fix NJ Transit?
"Someone in the security tent had a radio tuned to WFAN and the “Kars 4 Kids” jingle was blaring as we walked onto the platform because, I guess, God decided he wanted to make the whole experience 20 percent more hilariously awful. Then some kids started singing the “J.G. Wentworth” jingle, and I thought “Celino and Barnes” (or is it just Celino now?) was next and please please get me out of here."
The trains and busses for staff and and fans were a **** show.
I punched out at 1:15am waited 10 minutes on a line for my bus back to the employee lot which didn’t move then walked in the rain a mile to get back to my car.
For a company who’s primary age demographic is 12-30. I don’t understand why they go till after midnight on a school night.
Fathers were carrying out there 10 year olds out of the stadium.
Oh and $115.00 for limited view seat behind the entrance stage and ramp.
Complete money grab. Got home at 2:30a and was up at 6 for work

Bruno, Killer Kowalski, BoBo Brazil.
My dad took me to see a show at the Asbury Park Convention Center back in the early 60's. Big thrill was getting Cowboy Billy Watts autograph.
Are these your friends? One dressed as Ric Flair, the other as Rhonda Rousey to get married.
That is hilarious and I will forward to them. My friend said never again....it took 2hrs to get out of the parking lot.Are these your friends? One dressed as Ric Flair, the other as Rhonda Rousey to get married.

Still trying to figure out which one dressed as Ric Flair, and which one dressed as Rousey. Those are some bad costumes.
LOL i remember when i first started going to WWWF wrestling matches at high schools in the late 70s in willingboro nj or allentown pa. My great gradpa always took me to msg to watch the matches BEFORE hulkamania
All the storylines are heavily scripted, along with all interviews shown on TV. Nothing is spontaneous or off script in the WWE and I feel it comes across as very bland.
I had a friend who worked in the WWE as a writer for a couple of years as an intern and he said it was a thankless job and he hated it.
It was a real good show. I’ll give it a B plus. I thought that the women’s title match and tag title matches were boring and the women’s title match was not worthy of Main Event status. The upset of the night was Hawkins and Ryder winning the tag team titles. The Andre the Giant memorial battle royal was weak. What I will say though is that the best match of the night was Kofi winning the title. It was evenly matched. I enjoyed every minute of the match. Kofi now has won every major title and is the only wrestler in the history of the WWF, WWE to do so. A very close second was the Miz against Shane. Very entertaining even though the Miz should have gotten his revenge.
You’re friend must be joking with you. Wrestling is no more scripted than any other real sport.
Show basically ended with Kofi. Rest of the show was deflated after that. The women’s match ending was very anti climactic.
I used to watch a lot when I was young. Its basically a soap opera where all of the actors are roided up stuntmen performing a choreographed battle that have to look real, so plenty of the hits are real but finessed so they don't injure as badly. There are real injuries, but also plenty of fake ones, and all of them are well-versed athletes that usually come from big-time sports like football, real wrestling, boxing, mma, power lifting, etc. (Good examples being Kurt Angle 2 time Olympic gold medalist, Junior National, NCAA and World champion in real wrestling, Brock Lesnar was the NCAA wrestling champion and later UFC champion, Roman Reigns played DT for Georgia Tech, The Rock played DL next to Warren Sapp at Miami, Mark Henry was the world power lifting champion, Ron Simmons was a superstar DT at Florida State and College Football HOF member)
