It that time year again.
I have to say I'm not really looking forward to WrestleMania this year. Just because of coronavirus so many match changes and the whole empty area thing.
I'm really in the mind that should off just moved it to an other date. |

"I just feel sorry for Drew. The guy worked so hard to get where he is and this is how he going to win the belt "

It's not gonna be the same without anyone there no atmosphere and they still have to carry on as though it's a full arena I have also heard roman reigns has pulled out which is understandable with what he's already been through |

So what if it's scripted? If people enjoy it, what harm is there in that? I don't understand the need to come into a thread where people are talking about something they enjoy for the sole purpose of belittling it. |

It was a simple question, if they were still going on the old model or if they had modernized it.
Where did the comment belittle it?
I used to love wrestling until i found out it was fixed
I would actually watch it, if it was real. |

I went to Smackdown last year was actually a brilliant night out. Some people wandering round with replica belts taking it very seriously.
Got tickets via Sky and got to go to their backstage area and the Big show came out and said hi to everyone.
Would love to go to Wrestlemania when it’s all back to normal. |

fair enough but even you must be able to recognise the levels of fitness and training that these people go through to please so many people and they do an incredible amount of work for charity! |

Of course I do. If it wasnt for watching wrestling when I was a kid, I would have probably never got into the gym. I stopped watching it when I was about 15 though and moved onto "real" sports. |

I’ve been to a couple of events, the crowd atmosphere is what makes it.
I’ve enjoyed a few of the segments whilst it’s been filmed with no audience, of cause it’s scripted. That’s why it can be so immersive. It’s a story being played out.
Any for anyone not calling it a real sport, the guys and women are fantastic athletes, they need ridiculous stamina and as big event matches go longer, sometimes over 30mins. The intensity needs to be pushed right to the climax where the spots get more and more high risk.
It’s a level of skill completely different to any other sport......hence why all the UFC fighters who jump ship are awful to watch.
P.s
I also love UFC |

Same can be said for the wrestlers that think they can make it as UFC fighters then get absolutely embarrassed. With the exception of Brock Lesnar of course. |

Bobby Lashley, Ken shamrock, Alberto del Rio, all have good W/L
You get the likes of CM punk who really weren’t good.
In my opinion the crossover is easier to make from wrestler to UFC than the other way. Ronda rousey was pushed straight to the top and it was cringy to watch. And when cain velasquez debuted it was equally as bad, let’s add Tyson fury to this list too.

Ken shamrock started with UFC or pride anyway long before wrestling took him. He also went back to the UFC because he was bored of the fake and scripted stuff.
I prefer it when wrestlers make it with movies instead. It suits them better because they're used to acting! |

I hope one day such an event comes back to the U.K. soon, hopefully things go back to normal first. |

Yeah it's scripted, and "fake", but they still amazing athletes. And as always, you get some wrestlers going off "script", and improvising. Gutted Roan Reigns pulled out.
Think I was 5, and got banned from watching it, as had seen Rick Flair do a low blow, so thought I'd try it on my old man when we were toy fighting..   |

The attitude era was the best, they’re trying to get things back to how it was.
I miss seeing Eddie, I still watch his matches. |

Have you read any of the comments from Brodie lee (Luke Harper) since he left? Vince is out of touch and it’s his way or no way.
Also letting Matt hardy go due to not letting him have creative control is madness. He’s one of the best creatively, that’s before we talk about Goldberg going over the fiend
NXT is proof that HHH needs to take control.
Takeovers are continuously better than main roster PPVs |

they should have just postponed the whole lot and they could have just made "Summerslam" the wrestlemania event for this year... or if they wanted to just make a huge money grab, this is the one year where they could have postponed and done the card in a big stadium in europe (wembley if they wanted it outside... cardiff if wanted a stadium with a roof!)
anyway... i am more into New Japan these days... but i do find NXT fun to watch! |

"have to say that was better than i thought it would be......
still think they should not have done it... but still"
It was weird watching something that is a huge spectacle with no crowd.
Overall I think everything that happened was the right decision.
I still can’t work out the whole Goldberg beating the fiend, other than because it was in Saudi Arabia and they paid for it to happen
wasn’t expecting him to drop it to Braun |

Just started watching the first half of the show that's "too big for one night" and I'm bored already. People have pulled out and matches have been changed. Seriously think they shouldve postponed it |

"there is a bloodbath going on... tons of wrestlers are being cut from their contracts.....wow"
Jeez, just read that now
Kurt Angle, understand this
Drake Maverick - he was good when given a decent angle
Curt Hawkins - unsurprising
Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows - Dafuq Heath Slater - when was he last on tv
Eric Young - sanity were wasted
EC3 - should of never been called up from NXT
Aiden English - rusev day ended way too soon, but he was a sitting duck on his own
Lio Rush - A great performer but they angle with bobby lashley was awful |

There’s even more than that, a lot of backstage guys have been axed too. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s a lot of names on the above list who were champions in rival promotions.....who were totally wasted with WWE....... |

Yeah, its sad the Fink has gone, he was really ill though for a number of years.
Back to Mania itself, almost all the matches were poor bar the undertaker vs AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre vs the Big Show.
Becky Lynch is starting to become really boring now and the less said about Seth Rollins, the better.
What do you all think about the huge number of releases and the quality amongst it? Rusev and Kurt Angle especially. Rowan to AEW to link up with Brodie Lee(Luke Harper in WWE) |

When my son was really into it between the ages of 8-12 I really enjoyed watching it with him and went to see RAW when it was on in Liverpool. I was always really intrigued by how much was scripted and how much just kicked off. It’s good to see so many of those we watched back then are still involved. Drew was just starting out during that time.
I still watch bits when it comes on Sky Sports after something I’ve been watching. It’s entertaining. |

the only ones i can definately see in AEW are Rusev, Rowan and Zach ryder (Cody has always said the one person he wants that the WWE dont use is Ryder)
Gallows and Anderson will have choices... they can go to AEW or back to New Japan....
EC3 and Eric Young will probably end up back at Impact, Lio Rush would probably be perfect for someone like ROH |

I agree with you there. In my opinion, this is only going to make wrestling more competitive and less of a perceived WWE monopoly.
Even without crowds, AEW has been really good |

the massive cull at wwe is something todo wih one of vinces other companies going to the wall so im led to believe, a lot of great stars have been cut, rowen being one of my favourite, and also some long standing wrestlers, but its even worse for the youngster who have lost their jobs! |
