It'll get worked out in time. At least everything else will air without commercials.

I don't mind it. HBO and other pay channels do similar things, showing odds and ends and behind the scenes stuff in-between movies.

Isn't Wrestlemania 25 terrible outside of the Undertaker match and maybe MITB?

Jericho versus the legends was interesting because of Ricky Steamboat still able to loving go with Jericho.

I like this bizarre setup where the exit sign is the biggest set piece.

At the end of the PPV, the winner of the main event will point to it, assisting the crowd in finding their way out.

The entire card doesn't really inspire confidence. But, do you think Andre can slam Big John Studd? Especially with so much money on the line? :ohdear:

$15,000 is such a weird, specific amount. Like, they wanted it to be realistic, but small enough to put in a small bag? Why not make it a nice round number?

To be fair, this footage is nearly 30 years old. If Andre were still alive, he'd be nearly 70 at this point.

They should have replaced Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with "Taffy Butt" from Bob's Burgers, if they needed a different Lauper song.

Yeah, they had one earlier where Bryan kicked the Backstage Pass logo off and it ruled.

The most concerning one so far is one where Bray Wyatt shows up and blows out his lantern. I expect to turn around and see him behind me.

I think Vince is in the hallway directing backstage traffic when T and Hogan enter, but I think that's it.

Oh Heath :allears: It takes a special kind of worker to let yourself be pinned by a tiny guy in a white bull costume.

Heath is great in my book, especially after complaining about losing to Sin Cara because it was too dark to see.

Frankly, I just kinda wish 3 Man Band would get more to do. Didn't they shoot their own story line via Tout where they were trying to get to the arena?
