So uh, what does the winner get?

Bragging rights and being able to claim they're the most deadly/threatening of the three competitors in Wrestlemania's main event.

All three beat the clock matches happening in the opening 15 minutes of the show is... an interesting decision.

Sorry to be a bummer but it truly is awful that there were 3 Parkland suicides in a week.

gently caress, I'd heard there had been two, no idea there was a third. That's horrible.

People having beat the clock challenges and not winning them are one of those things I'd appreciate if my wrestling was working hard to try and seem like a legitimate sporting competition but as story telling this is kinda dumb at least have the match be longer than a minute thirty

Was it Super Crazy who beat one of the competitors in a Beat the Clock challenge to establish who got a title shot, and they straight up said,"Well that doesn't count because only the guy he beat was fighting for a title shot?

DID YOU KNOW they have over ONE BILLION social media followers? And also that this figure is utterly meaningless!?!

It is super thirsty but follower count is a big thing for anyone on social media. It's not meaningless to influencers.

*In the WWE writers room*

'We want you to do a segment on how many social media followers we have. We expect you to painstakingly trawl through every wrestlers social media account as well as our official ones and to tally the final total for us. Also make sure whatever it is it sounds good'


*manager walks out, I scrawl the words '1 billion social media followers' on the script in pen and then go take the next seven hours at lunch*

*Vince will never fire me, I get him too well*

Back in the 90s I think they had that pre-show video that would air talking up how popular they were, and I think if I remember right they declared they were available in more countries than actually existed in the world? :laugh:

I want them to get to a point where Black's entrance is a couple of overweight stagehands with cigarettes dangling limply from their lips grumpily hauling him up off the ground by the arms.

Have Revival won a single match since getting the titles?

They won one match on Raw (by DQ!) and the title match at Fastlane.

There have been a bunch of live event matches too so maybe they picked up more wins there.

Of course the announcers don't care that Roman cheapshotted Drew first!

To be fair, Drew kickstarted all this by jumping Roman from behind when he was waiting for a match with Corbin, and Roman was face to face with him when he punched him today.

"I know you murdered me the last time we did a no DQ match, but let's do a no DQ match"

To be fair to Flair, they did actually make a point in their last match that even after Drew hit Dean with that sick Claymore Kick through the rail, Dean ended up getting back up and crawling back to fight some more, so Last Man Standing actually makes some sense.

Who would disagree about that? Personally I think they include Bulldog and Pillman.

The arguments I've heard are that in their prime as a tag team they were midcard or upper midcard, and since they were never treated as the absolute best in WWF during that period it is silly that they're going in. I always dug the Hart Foundation as a kid (British Bulldogs too) so I'm more than happy to see them going in, and plus of course it's the WWE Hall of Fame so it's not like there are any actual limitations or qualifications that are required besides Vince deciding who he wants to go in.

Why are they having Kurt wrestle people way better than Corbin? It's just going to make that WM match look that much worse.

One would assume it's to set up a twist where Corbin either gets dropped at the last minute and replaced by Cena, or that he destroys Corbin in seconds and then gets a mic to demand a real challenge, and Cena comes out to reenact his debut back in the early 2000s.
