Soooo...Undertaker loses...to Brock Lesnar. In a semi-boring match. Really.

Suck.

But...But..But....THREEEEEEEEE F5's!!

I'm right there with ya. Lesner breaks the streak? Really?

Is he going to work more shows and be Bryans next threat?  Thats the only reason I could see them giving him that kinda rub.

My childhood hero Ultimate Warrior was inducted into the Hall if Fame finally.  He got his chance to say a few things about that awful, bullshit DVD that was released 9 years ago.  His NEW DVD collection is out there now!  Long live Ultimate Warrior and silence to all the naysayers!

R.I.P. Ultimate Warrior

How ironic, now, all thing considered.

Bridge.....I know it sounds odd to say, but...I'm so sorry.  I know exactly how I'll feel the day Hogan goes.  It's amazing the attachment we form to these guys in our childhood (and beyond). It's like they are our friends. I read the news this morning and felt like id been punched in the gut..especially given all the photos and video from this past weekend.

RIP, warrior.

Yeah, I've been sick to my stomach all day long.  This is how I felt when my other childhood hero Randy Savage passed away.  In both cases, it has felt like losing family members, it's just ripped my heart out.  Both Warrior and Savage were so young and seemingly healthy, so the shock factor has been incredible.  I did read part of the police report from Warrior's death, they say he likely died of a "catastrophic medical condition", though they didn't expound any further.

I also feel especially sick after having watched his Hall of Fame speech online and witnessing the love and affection that Warrior expressed to his wife and daughters as they sat there and looked up at him in obvious awe.  We lost a wrestling hero, but they lost a husband and a father.

According to reports Taker has been wanting to lose for a bit and picked Lesnar. Don't know how true that is though. They did do a good job of selling it on the raw after Mania. Well, Heyman did. It does make it look like it was more about pushing Heyman than Brock though. Which actually could work out really well.

Still disappointed about it though. Taker never should of lost and just retired undefeated.

[Alan]

Right? It is completely dead. But I don't think as many come on the board anymore. I know I stop by every once in awhile but not all that much.

I'm always excited for Wrestlemania even with this year's card not looking all that great. Rumble is my favorite ppv and the lead up to Wrestlemania and the event itself is always at least semi-entertaining. I am sick of a lot of guys though like Cena and HHH and wish Punk was here but I'll still watch and hope its good.

Stone Cold has been confirmed to appear and Hogan is there so hopefully whatever they do with them is at least an entertaining segment or two. I hope for some good matches with Bryan and maybe with Shield/Kane and Bray/Cena. I figure the title match ends up a fatal four-way somehow. Some type of cheap finish to the Bryan/HHH match and Hogan or someone coming out to put Bryan in the title match. Thinking its also plausable CM Punk comes back in some capacity tomorrow or at the post-wrestlemania Raw. They haven't buried him or anything, they have chosen to just not mention him at all so I figure he'll come back eventually.

I loved every moment of it, if any of you ever considered making a trip to mania do it. honestly had one of the best weekends of my life in New Orleans.

I'd managed to avoid any knowledge of Austin appearing, so that was an awesome surprise for me, and then the rock coming out too, just set the night up so well.

So much better than last years mania, and I think the RAW the next night showed it, instead of shitting all over the show like they did last year the crowd were into the actual product.

oh and Paige 

[Hammy]

It's been awhile....crazy to think this thread started 12 years ago!! 

[Alan]

Austin has hinted at a return for mania 32 in texas 

[Mr Cowbell 2015]

So quiet nowadays. There once was a time where WWE game was a highlight on this site. It now looks like a museum to the past of the glory days.

[Malcolm]

ya this is awful...Wrestlemania coming up...apparently lesnar walked out on raw...stings in the wwe...looks like taker vs wyatt and sting vs hhh.....should be decent

[Sober_times]

Not really super excited for Mania this year.

Booman Reigns vs. Lesnar has the potential to suck ass. Reigns is too green for my liking and anytime two big guys go together its usually not a great match.

Bray vs. Taker could be good or could really suck. Its a toss-up. So is HHH vs. Sting. The hype for the match is non-existent to me because I've always wanted Taker v Sting, not HHH v. Sting. Should be a good match but it could suck too.

I guess all three main events are really toss ups. None of those feuds are getting really good build up. Wyatt is pretty much fueding with himself which is weird. Sting finally spoke on Raw and they messed with his voice and it was awful. And if Heyman wasn't out there making A+ promos that Brock/Reigns build-up would be really really shitty instead of just shitty.

I like the potential for the IC Title Ladder Match which seems to be just a MITB match. Those are usually fun and with those involved should be good.

The Rusev/Cena fued reminds of Hogan/Slaughter. Which was shit. Cena is now in the twilight years of Hogan where WWF was doing really stupid shit with him. Just sick of Cena.

Rollins/Orton should be a fun match but the feud has sucked. Orton finally turned on him but really that should have happened weeks ago.

Its like the whole of mania build up is sub par and we don't have triple A ring workers to make Mania fun. Its all workers who have been inconsistent, old or are green in the main events. This has potential to be a good mania but it could also really suck.

And the best they can do with Daniel Bryan is a IC Title Match? Really? WTF WWE.

[Malcolm]

they need lesnar and sting appearing more often to be interesting

[TheBaconman]

Wrestling died when Bret hart retired

[D-GenerationX]

Unfortunately, sure looks like Daniel Bryan is not long for this line of work.

Shame, because he's really talented.

We'll see.  It depends on which dirt sheet you read and believe.

If it's further neck issues...yeah, that's bad.

If it's the reported concussion he suffered at the Dublin House Show...it's bad, but not AS bad.  Hopefully, that, he can come back from in a month or so.

Can't keep the belt on such an unreliable guy.

Which is a shame, because I think putting the US and IC belts on otherwise main eventers was a good idea and one that might restore some prestige to them.
