WrestleMania has just been very well booked, hasn’t it?

Some of the reactions we’ve had over the past couple of months have been incredible.

If all goes to plan could be in the running for a top 5 all timer

Gutted for Josh, from the bits I’ve seen and read he was a great World Champion and was looking forward to checking out his match with Kushida next weekend, I believe he had one or two other Indy appearances booked over Mania weekend as well

Maclin is now booked in Josh’s spot for the 6 man tonight with Rich Swann and Kazarian against Kushida and MCMG and will likely be the next champion at Rebellion in a couple of weeks

We finally got the match we were waiting for confirmed on Raw last night so here’s the pathway for that

Unified WWE Tag Team Titles

The Usos

WM27 - lumberjacks for the Sheamus/Bryan match then participants in the subsequent battle royal 

WM28 - competed in triple threat match for tag titles versus Primo and Epico and Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd on pre show

WM30 - defended tag titles in fatal 4 way against Los Matadores, RybAxel and the Real Americans on pre show

 WM31 - 4th year in a row on the pre show and 3rd straight multi team tag title match competing against then champions Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, Los Matadores and New Day

WM32 - 5th straight pre show, this time in a straight tag beating the Dudleyz

WM33 - shock of shocks, in the pre show for the 6th year running, this time competing in the Andre Battle Royal 

WM34 - finally on the main card, they lose the Smackdown tag titles to the Bludgeon Brothers in triple threat match also involving New Day

WM35 - retain SD tag titles in 4 way against Rusev/Nakamura, Ricochet/Black and The Bar

WM36 - Jimmy represents the team in triple threat ladder match for SD tag titles against John Morrison and Kofi Kingston on Night 1

WM37 - Jey accompanies Roman Reigns to the ring for Reigns’s Universal title defence in the main event of Night 2

WM38 - retain SD tag titles against Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogz in the Night 1 opener

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens

WM32 - Owens defends IC title in 7 man ladder match that also features Zayn along with Zack Ryder (who wins), Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sin Cara and Stardust

WM34 - Zayn and Owens team up to lose to Shane McMahon and a returning Daniel Bryan

WM37 - Owens beats Zayn on Night 2

WM38 - Owens hosts the KO Show with Steve Austin which turns into a No Holds Barred match between the two in main event of Night 1, Zayn loses Anything Goes match to Jackass’ Johnny Knoxville on Night 2

I suppose the next best choice would be Jimmy Hart, really liking the HoF choices this year, apparently a much loved referee is getting an induction this year with banded names being the late Tim White, Brian Hildebrand and Joey Marella, Mike Chioda and ‘Lil Naitch’ Charles Robinson

Had Burger Kings 'Cheesy Loaded Fries' yesterday.

Absolutely revolting. That awful, awful liquid cheese sauce that, I think, Branquey loves so much. I'll eat any old shit, but even I couldn't finish them. 

In fact, Burger King is nowhere near McDonalds levels and I cannot trust anyone that thinks it is. But it was close, and 10yo was hungry.

And they don't give out the crowns anymore. Whopper pricks.

I had one of their £5 Melt meals (the cheapest meal they had) the other week, the burger was that small it was gone in 3 bites, the fries were ok and the onion rings were soggy not to mention the drink I had went flat almost immediately

It’s horrendously overpriced compared to McD’s, KFC and Taco Bell, almost a Five Guys level which I why I don’t go there much if ever now

Small nit pick by Kai was in the Women’s battle royal at 34

Appreciated I’ll amend that now

@RIDDUM_N_STYLE fyi Edge is missing his participation in the WM23 Money in the Bank match. He was stretchered out partway in order to preserve his “undefeated streak” to help build to the ‘Taker match the next year, but he was definitely involved. 

So he was, don’t know how I missed that, nice one

The careers of WWE superstars as it pertains to the biggest show of the year can often veer from one end of the scale to another, from a headline match to jerking the curtain, from dream match to comedy joke. With this year’s event only 3 weeks away, I thought it’d be good to look at how the participants of each match have fared, updated once matches are announced

Going back and watching wrestling moments that never did as a kid, like Savage and Elizabeth’s reunion at WM7, Bret’s title win at WM10 and Angle beating Austin for the title in his home town in front of his family and the locker room coming out to congratulate him

I had a customer like that in my first job in a bingo hall, well into her 60s, who thought nothing of telling all the staff about her recent sexual exploits.
 

The first Christmas I was there, she bought me and a female colleague, both the youngest staff there, really awkward Christmas presents, I got a plastic bag filled with Smirnoff Ice, based on me mentioning that I occasionally drank them at family occasions while my friend got lingerie which the older staff thought was highly inappropriate 

Guessing by the time the tapings are done, we’ll know how the Supercard of Honor card will look for Wrestlemania weekend

There was only one Motty, one of my favourite commentaries of his was the 5-1 in Munich where he sounded much more natural and fan like with each England goal compared to how almost forced the Sky commentary by Martin Tyler was

Tremendous show, main event had me hooked all the way, I’m not as down on Reigns winning as some might as I think the absolute right time to end his run is Mania

Where Jey’s part in this goes is another matter now, it’s either a clever ruse or he’s almost certainly turning face, pity there isn’t a March PPV because of Mania being the very start of April because I could have seen them do Sami, Kev and Jey as a reluctant team against Roman, Jimmy and Solo

Rest of the show was fun, the right people won the Chamber matches, the men’s match being the better of the two, Lesnar/Lashley was what it was, meaty guys smashing each other, didn’t need the DQ finish though and the mixed tag did it’s job, kept Rhea strong by not being the one taking the fall. 

I’m staying 100% spoiler free in the morning, no checking here, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram until I can sit down and watch it early afternoon and experience the drama in my own ‘real time’, that’s how engrossing this whole angle’s been

B events are usually hit and miss in terms of both hype and presentation but this one on Saturday has to be seen as one of the most anticipated in years purely because of the Bloodline angle. I still think both Jay’s turning and Cody will show up either to save Sami and KO or at least confront Roman when he abandons Solo and the Usos 

Prayers up for King, he kicked out from both a heart attack and a previous stroke so here’s hoping he can again

If Jey’s able to get into Canada then I reckon they’ll pull the swerve, likely by having him under a hood to cost Sami the match then do the reveal in the post match beat down

If they do that then have Cody come out first to make the save, have the numbers go against him then KO comes out to a monster pop, clears house with Cody who helps Sami up, then we get the big reunion with Kev and Sami to send the Montreal crowd home in tears if happiness
