WyattSheepMask Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Get Scott Quinnell in for it, he’s a big lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I bet they don't even let the NXT UK guys defend their titles on this show. As cruel as that sounds I would get a kick out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think plenty of people would prefer an authentic feeling WWE show with zero cheesy celebrity involvement at all. Regardless, thread should be closed and broken off or renamed now. It’s not Wembley.

If you're going to have that many bodies in Cardiff that weekend why not get a little extra money out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I wouldn't be surprised to see an actual NXT Takeover or a NXT Vs NXT UK (Worlds collide?) type thing happening either to boost up the attendance in the Motorpoint  2 hours ago, air_raid said: I think plenty of people would prefer an authentic feeling WWE show with zero cheesy celebrity involvement at all.

It's not like Saudi or the fear of half empty stadiums at Mania this will just be a big house show if everything gets sold in a few weeks before anything has been planned. As I said before though I actually hope i'm wrong and this is treated like a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyndi lauper and Mr T are as responsible for rock n wrestling as Hogan, and if you don't do the Tyson involvement, the attitude era never hits the same heights.  And every wrestlemania starts with a celebrity singing America the beautiful.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 17, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2022 This isn't Wrestlemania. They don't need celebrity involvement to draw an audience when they'll likely sell out regardless. Why bother with the extra expense?

Why bother with the extra expense? Bleed into mainstream public media? I don't agree with it but getting someone on the show just to get the brand into a mag or entertainment news bit it normally wouldn't regardless of improving the gate happens. Even better to do it on a packed house full of enthusiastic fans too, I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really think I, or a single soul reading this thread, needed to be told that? If so, genuinely, please continue. I’m dying to know what happened at Manias 2-13. Are we talking about enhancing the status of a WrestleMania with global superstars with the eyes of the world watching, or are we talking about adding “known to the local market” names to a B show to fully highlight “it’s in Way-yells, boyo!” in a way they never would when they bring Unforgiven to Green Bay or Omaha? Might as well repurpose Bayleys old wacky waving blow up men as giant leeks. “Look at where we are” for the UK market is unbearable, it was shite when Vinny Jones “got a red card” at Capital Carnage, it would be shite today. The best UK PPV was One Night Only because apart from a unique apron, Bulldog in a main event and Carsten Schaeffer doing the ring announcing, it was like just another PPV continuing stories between one In Your House and another. OK, aside from Lawler making a few cracks about Page 3 and the Spice Girls. As a real aside, I swear I saw tears in Del Wilkes’ eyes over Birmingham booing The Patriot.
