Get high and think of me.


If Triple H doesn't say "On your knees (big) dog, bow down to the king" before the match/after he wins I will consider this Wrestlemania an immense disappointment.

Shane vs. Taker in 2016 is the most perplexing main event in a very long time and it's rather exciting.

went to chilis with my girlfriend for a pre wrsetlemania meal; we sat down and ordered the triple dipper (eggrolls, sliders, boneless wangs) for our appetizer. we then ordered told the waitress we were big wrestling fans really pulling for roman etc etc. we got our order: buffalo chicken salad for myself, a standard burger fries for my fiancee. as we were eating our waitress would check in on us how is everything, you know standard waitress things. once done we get up she hands us the receipt and she wrote "go big dog" i smiled a bit and threw in another $5 for the tip. go roman, go big dog reigns.

I'm going to the gym to work out now to get my body prepared for sitting on it's rear end 6.5 hours tonight.

Add in NXT Friday plus Hall of Fame Sunday, that means I'll have watched around 11 hours of wrestling this weekend. Enjoyable, but it seems like a bad idea.

It would have made more sense to pull a guy like Tyler Breeze or Fandango from the Battle Royale and stick him in. Or just have one less guy in the ladder mach.

Also I really like it when Lesnar throws around Ambrose like a crash dummy and I'm glad Reigns won't be in this one to gently caress it up.

Though tbf he did fine in the Fastlane match, if they didn't book him like Superman that three-way probably would have been great.

All the probable shenanigans aside, I think this WM has a good chance of every match on the main card being very good-to-great. On paper at-least it looks to be a FAR more consistent card then last year, which is pretty impressive given how many people are injured.

Hopefully this post won't be empty quoted when everything sucks.

In fact, if they just made the IC Match Zayn/Owens and made the US Title match at multi-man ladder match with the same people the card would be fantastic.

Here's what I'm excited about :

  • New Day entrance
  • AJ Styles' Wrestlemania debut
  • Whatever debuts/returns are planned
  • Ambrose and Lesnar attempting to literally murder each other
  • Sasha Banks having to top her Brooklyn entrance
  • The Divas title match in general
  • Zack Ryder in a main card Wrestlemania match that actually kind of matters
  • The very high likelihood of Sami Zayn winning the IC title in his WM debut
  • The crowd booing the poo poo out of Eva Marie
  • The crowd booing the poo poo out of Roman
  • The crowd booing the poo poo out of Roman winning
  • The likelihood that HHH and Roman have a pretty good match despite everything else
  • Triple H's batshit crazy champion entrance
  • Undertaker's entrance
  • Whatever crazy poo poo happens in the HiaC match
  • The incredible amount of pizza and beer I will be consuming this evening
  • Even the slightest possibility of Enzo & Cass debuting in front of the crowd they deserve

Crap build, slew of injuries, card doesn't live up to the past few years? Who cares, it's fuckin Wrestlemania y'all

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

To be fair, they have made a fair amount of progress regarding the IC belt from last year's "R-Truth has literally stolen the Intercontinental Title! Oh no!" shenanigans.

Now, arguably that's been done while they've simultaneously utterly buried the US Title, but WWE gonna WWE.
