Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted March 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) They should also bring back the 2004 theme which is among the best pieces of music they've ever done. Fits the event absolutely perfectly https://youtu.be/Kq4Rzza_vS4 Edit: Not sure how to get the video to show up here, sorry.

Booing John Cena being the lowest moment. Or booing Bob Backlund's inductor Maria Menounos who's a longer term and more knowlegable fan than the majority of the the noisy mutants who booed her.

Factotum Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 That had utterly slipped my mind! Urgh. The most boring is 'One More Match' Fuck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2020 Fans shouldn't be near the HoF event. Do you get that in any other industry (hall of fame events, awards nights etc)? It's just industry members/affiliates surely. But Vince sees the commercial value in it now so I doubt will go back to how it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are willing to pay to watch KISS do a sound check then trim the marks for as much as you can. Same applies here with those who want to hear folks name drop their peers and go “remember him/that? That was good wasn’t it?” Edited March 26, 2020 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my boss paid for a table at the SPOTY when it was in Liverpool and he has no affiliation to any sport or sportsman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also gives the retired boys and girls one last big pop, fans chanting for them etc. But it would be a much better watch without letting fans in.

Grecian Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 In defence of the fans being there, I was sat next to a guy in his eighties and got chatting to him between inductions. The HoF was the only bit of Mania week he went to, despite living within sight of the MetLife. He just wanted to hear the old names that he'd watched in the Garden as a kid, he'd seen Sammartino live and wanted to remember the wrestlers he'd forgotten over time.

They've done this at a few HOFs now, so not sure which one you're referrring to. I was at the 2017 one and a lot of them ripped into Cena as he gave a classy induction speech for Kurt Angle. The fans really pissed me off generally over the night. It was my first Mania, so I dressed all nice for the HOF, treating it like a somewhat formal event. Two guys behind me were an absolute embarrassment, to the point I really hoped people didn't think I was associated with them. They reeked of booze and constantly shouted obscene things, especially at the former Divas walking past us like Candice Michelle and Christy Hemme. Would have been a bit much for an Attitude Era Raw, let alone the Hall of Fame. Absolute tossers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there too, wasn't there some bitch fight in one of the upper tiers during the disabled lad's speech (Eric LeGrand I think his name was) or am I making that up?

Not sure, I was first row on the bottom tier. Funnily enough, I had a better/closer seat to the stage than some of the WWE staff, like Corey Graves and Tom Phillips. I remember a fuckload of people- fans and wrestlers- taking a piss break during LeGrand's speech. I couldn't hear the poor bloke anyway, he was using a mic attached to his wheelchair instead of a normal mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeronimoJacksBeard Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Roman Reigns no longer a part of WrestleMania! Apparently not comfortable being at the PC with his previous health conditions and with the current pandemic. Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Braun! He’s already turned himself Internet heel in preparation for a run as top babyface. Meltzer reckons there are more changes to come as well with people sick or self-isolating. So they mustn’t have already filmed everything.
