Wrestlemania 41 Discussion Thread

[Supremo]

The Rock throwing a tantrum online. Funny. Triple H not even getting a name check when The Rock lists everyone. Funnier. The score for the Judgment Day 2000 Iron Man Match is still ongoing and The Rock’s beating Triple H about 389 to 6.

The Brian Gerwirtz WWE will probably be shit, but the thought of Hunter packing his boxes is hilarious.

It’s been an all-timer Wrestlemania Season for exposing how all of them are the thinnest skinned weirdoes to ever exist. From the very bottom of the card to the most successful men to ever do it.

Greatest Wrestlemania ever, and I only watched one match.

Nia Jax on Cody Rhodes at the Roast. Awful.

Wrestlers skins are far too thin for this.

Heres the full transcript of her roast

Spoiler

“In all honesty, Rey Mysterio is the man. I mean, you are a legend when your mask has a fucking retirement plan, right? So let’s all hand it to Rey because he can’t reach.

You know what? Throughout the years that I’ve been here, I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, including me. But you know what? The biggest comeback story we’re going to get to is Cody Rhodes. Am I right? I Cody said he didn’t want to live in his father’s shadow. So then he painted it gold, made it into a shrine, slapped a neck tattoo on it, and he sold it for merch. He didn’t just finish the story. He’s just been carrying on a Netflix series that we can’t fucking stand. To be honest, though, Cody Rhodes reminds me of a slimy politician. That motherfucker would gag on a hairy nut sac if it means he would get a push. Let’s do it. And in all honesty, Cody, you’re no Roman Reigns. Cody, they only call you when Roman is doing something more interesting.

Speaking of gagging, I would like to highlight Michael Cole. He’s not here tonight. Give it up for Michael Cole, everybody. He has been a voice of WWE for 25 years. Incredible. That’s as old as Tiffany Stratton. And nobody ever asked him to speak. But now, his best friend, over there, Pat McAfee, he’s been gagging on Pat McAfee’s balls so hard. Am I right? Great. That’s why Pat’s eyes are so relaxed. You know what I mean? Listen, he’s been gagging so hard on Pat’s balls. He doesn’t need a fucking headset. He needs a leash and a safe word.

All right, all right, all right. Let’s get to some positive stuff. Now, when you think of a total package of superstars, who we thinking? No, it’s not BBL Bayley. It’s Rhea Bloody Ripley. Let’s be honest, that girl’s social media with a fucking ass cheek and those thirst traps, I forgot that she wasn’t even in the ring. Quite opposite from Charlotte Flair. I mean, nobody really wants to see her in the ring anymore. You know her three ex-husbands also said the same thing… Let me get this out of the way, I’m Nia Jax. Yes, I’ve hurt half of the women’s rosters, and no, I don’t give a fuck.”

I know roasts are shit at the best of times but whoever wrote this for her should be ashamed.

[LaGoosh]

That last line goes pretty hard though, I gotta hand it to her.

[Mr_Danger]

Nia Jax could probably force me to do most things she wanted. Apart from laugh.

The only funny thing about the Roast of Wrestlemania is WWE now attempting to DMCA all the clips and get them taken down.

In 2025, you booked and promoted a Roast, featuring professional wrestlers. There is no alternative scenario. No other possible outcome. The only way it was ever going to go was a load of leaked audio of a dumpster fire, with weirdo oddballs being horrible and unfunny.

How it ever got greenlit is beyond me. The only explanation I can think of is that The Rock originally suggested it, but he’s now tutting and shaking his head. Can’t believe you allowed this to happened, Hunter. Poor form.

[The Gaffer]

It's the same push/pull WWE has always teeth-gritted with outside media. "Please legitimise us by going on about us. NO, NOT LIKE THAT!" 

It's hardcoded into them to simultaneously pine for attention whilst wanting to control what that attention is. 

WrestleMania week's been incredible this year for exposing how many of those traditions are alive and well post-Vince.

‘Just enjoy it, it’s fiction’ is the most irritating line wrestlers and wrestling bookers regurgitate, as if whether or not you enjoy something is an active choice. Is there any other form of entertainment that has ever dared come out with this line? 

If people are shitting on what you’ve done en masse and it’s clearly not a result of toxic fandom, then maybe ask a few questions about the creative choices you’ve made. 

[d-d-d-dAz]

It's also wildly dismissive of how the business actually works. WWE make their money in the space between what's real and what's not. That little spark people feel when they think they know something they shouldn't is the sweet spot.

When was the last time they had something massively successful that was pure rasslin' storytelling? I guess Cody at 39, but even he eventually benefitted at 40 from the suggestion the office were trying to screw him.

I don't think it benefits anyone to be told explicitly that everyone is best mates and sipping cocktails in the No Hunter's Club.

Unless of course Rock's new gimmick is to come out and read that Instagram comment aloud every time WWE try and do a 'the rest isn't real, but this is' angle.

Christ, he'd ending up doing more dates in a year than he's done in the last 20.

For anyone interested, WrestleMania is listed for tonights Gogglebox.

[Supremo]

“He’s booked another Triple Threat!”

”Shut up and enjoy the fiction!”

[TheScarlettChad]

I may tune in for that, Can't wait for normal people to react to the werid sport that is Pro Wrestling.

[DavidB6937]

Can't wait to see how excited they get about Travis Scott.

[Lorne Malvo]

I'm genuinely looking forward to this. Drinking game - neck your pint when one of them goes 'remember Big Daddy?'
