This is scheduled for 4-4.5 hours. Two hours left. Two matches left. WTF

I'd be shocked if Jade-Rhea goes more than 12-15. At this rate 12 minutes would be a long match.

They need to have Jade win this then put Rhea in rehab if such. thing even exists for eating disorders. She has gotten way too thin far too quickly. At this rate she's going to be looking like Darby Allin by next weekend.

Are they going to add a match or is this going to end early? I can't imagine this match will go long and all that is left is Punk and Reigns.

Didn't just having Pat, Orton, and Cody come out take 25 minutes last night? Entrances, plus Cena once again, plus ads, plus bringing out the HOF class again...the time will be filled. It's crazy that it'll mostly be filler but WM isn't ending at like 9:15 est.

WrestleMania should be mostly filled with filler.

It's always funny watching Punk do a move that requires any sort of athleticism because he always looks so unathletic lol. Botched the Buckshot Lariat at least twice in AEW, can barely jump for the Superman Punch.

Let two wrestlers who can wrestle just go out and have time to wrestle without a bunch of overbooked BS and look what happens. It's not that hard to book a PPV, Triple H.

I remember when wrestling was awesome. The event was one day and all the mag he’s were with great wrestlers and acts. Good times. No way I could watch these days. It’s Hollywood stars now who wrestle 4 times a year.

I remember when Shawn and Bret wrestled for an hour and it wasn’t boring at all. That was a great match, or infamous Razor Ramon and Michaels ladder match. Those were great matches.

I hate this too, it’s all over social media. Everything they do. Back when they kept their act and breaking kayfabe was a serious offense. Way better than seeing them practice the match behind the scenes, know the winner before it even starts, now the even tell who produced the match, etc… I just couldn’t get into it today. It’s cool it’s on Netflix and you can stream all the old and new shows now though.

You get it now for every match on every show in WWE. I assume it's because they want their egos stroked. I rarely ever hear about who produces a match in any other company.

There is no need to ever know that. Back in the day the wrestlers themselves came up with what they did. Takes away from everything IMHO. Everyone knew wrestling was fake, but everyone stuck to the story and at least for a kid it seemed real.

They charge 10k for tickets now? Bruh I had 9th row on the entrance ramp for In Your House 6 PPV in Louisville and I think my mom paid like $60 for tickets. That lineup of matches crushed this one too.
Nose bleeds for a TV taping for tonight’s Raw are $100+. And they don’t exactly go to midsize venues.

And somehow part of the on-screen story on the road to WrestleMania was that the ticket prices are too high.

I paid $30 for Wrestlemania but ESPN Unlimited is getting canceled. I sure ain't paying it for Backlash and it doesn't get me anything else.
Doesn’t it air all the games across the ESPN/ABC networks?

I feel it’s probably a streaming service that is going to have a ton of churn.

WWE PLEs the only thing they have that’s year round and that’s only once a month.

So if someone doesn’t watch WWE, which a lot of sports fans don’t, and there’s a season they don’t watch anything for (like me and the summer), there’s plenty reason to cancel the subscription for the duration of said season at the price tag they are charging.

And even if someone does watch WWE, how many of their PLEs are even worth $30 with as mediocre to bad as they are anymore?

It’s supposed to cover a lot of out of market stuff too - like when Matt jones said sec plus “it’s on the computer” I think that’s covered ln espn unlimited. There’s also a bunch of soccer and hockey I think?
