Is this going to be the September PPV? or is is going to be similar to that special event they held in Australia a while back?

He's got to win the big one now, doesn't he? He'll be an absolute chump for the rest of his career if he doesn't. 

 

Vince probably plans to make an arse out of him further down the line.  He's a Runnels

I believe Dave 'Melty' Meltzer said he was going to be wrestling at WrestleMania Backlash and Money in the Bank (in May and July). 

If they're doing a stadium show for MITB, then you'd think Brock will definitely be booked.

On a side note, seems very odd that MITB will be held in a stadium.  Remember when stadium shows used to be a novelty and exclusive to WrestleMania?

Am looking forward to what they deliver tonight. 

Seeing how it's Night 2, probably a shit sandwich

Ah. So, not so much of an “I hear” so much as “the company explicitly stated.”

Well I heard from a mate that had seen the announcement last night, as I obviously stuck to my guns and didn't watch it.

Don't think tonight will better it tbh.

You can just vision the Edge/Styles match lasting an hour.

So I hear that next year will also be a 2 nighter.  It's definitely going to be the new set up going forward it seems. 

While I'm not a fan of splitting the event in two halves, you can't argue with the logic of them making more money this way.

Instead of seeing the event as a whole, people just end up comparing the 2 nights.  Going by the last couple of years, Night 1 always seems to win favour.

It would be funny if they decided to troll every fucker, and it turns out to be Shane after all

There's loads on social media that reckon Taker will be Rollins mystery opponent at Mania.

Granted it mightn't be zero interest, but it's been a massive part of a lot of our lives and there's always going to be tendrils of attachment there - especially with the biggest show of the year - whereby you'll want to get a quick overview of the lay of the land to see how things are. 

 

 

 

Exactly this.  It's not that I have zero interest in the current WWE product, I just think the card for Mania 38 looks fucking awful, so I have no desire to waste 8 hours over the weekend watching it. It's a simple as that.

But I'm sure you and every other moaning sod in here will watch all 74 hours of it also. 

Not a chance mate.

I was hoping the card for Mania this year was just an April Fools joke and they were going to announce the real card after midday.

Lucklustre isnt the word for WrestleMania this year.  Not interested in the show at all.

Looks like when they gave Shane the boot, it threw a spanner in the works for Rollins at Mania.

I love that they stick random old 80s comedies like that one weeknights. Reminds me of what Sky Movies used to be. You used to get some crackers on there at 1am.

Yeah, I remember in the mid 90s when they stuck all four Confessions films on there too, more or less in the timeslot you mentioned.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but Morons from Outer Space is on Monday night 11.45

I miss the days when you'd look forward to WrestleMania. 

So now Meltzer is saying that Austin has no plans to wrestle at Mania. 

Although a "confrontation" with Owens will happen. 

Just a heads up for those interested, The Young Ones boxset is now available on the iPlayer 

Obviously it's Kylie and Guy Pearce they want for that nostalgia pop on the last episode.

If they can't manage that, just let Stefan sing Don't It Make You Feel Good

Supposedly Austin v Owens is still planned, but 4 weeks out from the show you would think having one of the biggest stars in the history of the business wrestling his first match in nearly 20 years would be featured a lot more. I don’t care what the match ends up being in terms of smoke & mirrors, but it’s Stone Cold Steve Austin, the biggest star of everyone’s beloved Attitude Era, wrestling a match for last time. That should be one of the main draws for the show, not something that gets added/confirmed at the last minute

Unless he turns up on the last Raw telling Owens that he'll see him at Mania. As someone else pointed out it's going to be something similar to that Cena/Taker match.

Speaking of Mania, I find it odd that they're having both women's title matches on Night 1.

On the soaps whenever someone buys something from a shop or pub, they always seem to have the right money. Very rare you see them get change.

Just a reminder for those that's looking to kill 4 hours by watching it, Elimination Chamber will begin at 5pm on Saturday.

Is Triple H good to go? If so I reckon that could be the other big name Meltzer might be referring too.

As far as The Rock goes, they're bound to have him do something next year under the Hollywood theme.
