Despite not watching WWE for the last year and a half I am morbidly curious about this years Wrestlemania. It's like how I had to watch Heroes of Wrestling to experience how truly awful it was for myself.

The rubble of the Silverdome, home of WrestleMania 3.

Shame that it collapsed because it couldn't handle the impact of the Hulkster body slamming a 60 ton Andre the Giant in front of twenty million screaming Hulkamaniacs.

I wonder if Roman gets punished for not wanting to die for the WWE.

They wanted Roman to be their next Cena

This is how they treat their golden child

Why would anyone sign with this company again

What's hilarious is they could have pushed Roman to the moon after he came back from beating cancer and finally gotten the crowd reaction they so desperately wanted for him but did nothing. Same poo poo with Daniel Bryan when he returned. Surprised they didn't have Edge feud with Baron Corbin or Dolph Ziggler after the Rumble. Maybe they will rehire Big Cass for Edge's next match after Orton.

They honestly couldn't have. Roman was getting cheered but he got a very tepid reaction with a healthy mix of boos at WrestleMania and he definitely got boos at the Royal Rumble. People are ready to like Roman, but they still don't want him as the top guy.

To be fair I stopped watching all together right before the second Saudi show. I just based that on less people bitching about Roman on my Twitter feed and listening to WWE recaps where they would bring up how Roman was getting more cheers than boos.

Honestly?

When people I like get signed by WWE I just sort of stop thinking about them.

I love Kushida. Apart from Ospreay and Hiromu he's my favourite junior heavyweight and I think he has unlimited potential. I could tell you exactly zero things he's done in the last year since disappearing into NXT. I think maybe he had a one match Time Splitters reunion or something?

I honestly thought Kushida was injured or retired early. I had no clue he was on NXT.

Which match tonight are you guys most excited for?
Jeffery Combs vs. Freak w/ mangled dick in an Italian Castle death match.
Having myself a belated Stuart Gordon(RIP) marathon featuring Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Castle Freak. If I'm still up I might finish the night with Space Truckers or Dolls.

How dare Roman put his and his families health ahead of WWE! Should have been willing to jeopardize his and his family's health like fellow immunocompromised wrestler Daniel Bryan. I love Daniel Bryan but sometimes his love for this dumb fake sport over his own personal well being really disturbs me.

The OC will now join Taker and form the new Ministry.

EDIT: No wait, now that he's Bikertaker, we'll reform Aces & Eights!

Gallows and Anderson are such jabronis that they would be Mideon and Viscera

FAKE EDIT: Wasn't Gallows in Aces & Eights?

The Big Show Show sounds like one of the fake shows from the opening cutscene to WWE Crush Hour.

I have two wrestling shirts I wear all the time but only because they are pretty mainstream. I got an NWO Wolfpack shirt and the classic Daniel Bryan YES! shirt.

Another reason to hate WWE is how they would mock and tease Howard Finkel whenever he would return for an Old School Raw or something.

I probably would still be watching WWE now if not for the perfect storm of Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement for blood money, not cancelling that second KSA show, and running a package honoring murderer Jimmy Snuka. Just couldn't justify supporting WWE ever again even though I had been watching almost non stop since 1991.
With WWE the quality of the content didn't really matter to me because watching WWE was just something I had been doing since I was a kid. I was the same way about The Simpsons in that I didn't stop watching until the infamous "Lisa goes Gaga" episode broke me.

Vince is totally a vindictive rear end in a top hat but I believe he truly thought this would convince The Revival to stay.

Isn't the MitB match already filmed? Meaning he was always meant to be replaced? What was the point of having Apollo qualify in the first place?

Can't speak for anyone else but Swagger was a hoss that used the Doctor Bomb and that was enough for me. Time makes fools of us all.
