2015 Pro Wrestling Thread

Mania or SummerSlam at Fenway would be really cool, but I'm not sure how willing the Sawx would be to rent the facility out. So far, they've only done it for really big but non-controversial events, like the Winter Classic and concerts for Dylan and Springsteen.

 

I went to the Mania in New Jersey. The crowd was great. The problem is, when you have those open air stadiums, your crowd noise doesn't stay in the building like it does in a place like the Superdome. Cheers I distinctly remember being crazy loud in person were OK on TV.
As for the weather, it rained during the preshow but stopped before the event started and it was actually unseasonably warm.
The reports are WM33 will either be Orlando or Philly. My bet is Philly gets it solely because Orlando got it a few years ago. I'd prefer to go to Orlando personally but it would be cooler to see it in Philly, even though I hate that area near the arena.
I wish they would get off their butts and bring it to London. That would be epic and I would totally go for that. Those London WWE fans are crazy.

 

I'd like to see them go to London, but wouldn't that mean a 3 p.m. eastern start for Mania?

 

So the Rock tweeted that he's in Philly. You don't think they'd actually put him in the Rumble match, do you? Boards are thinking he'd win the Rumble to set up Rock/Brock at WM.

 

Either that, or he helps Reigns to give him the rub.

 

They say NYC and New England could be hit by one of worst snowstorms it's ever seen tomorrow. Raw is in Hartford. I wonder if there's a fallback if Raw can't go on.

 

As someone who is dealing with some panicking bosses right now in New England, the brunt of the storm is supposed to be Monday night. So, they're probably going to be in place for all of that beforehand. However, travel plans for the days after could be difficult.

 

Where are they supposed to be taping Smackdown? Could be difficult for them to get to that arena, unless the arena is available a day after, or on Thursday, they could go live.

It would be kinda funny, though, to see what they would have done had the storm hit when they were trying to get to Raw.

 

Have Triple H do 30 minutes of stand-up comedy, like he did when that Icelandic volcano erupted and half the roster was stranded in Europe?
My guess is, either they replay the Rumble or last year's Wrestlemania as a three-hour promo for the Network (while acknowledging the unavoidable situation), re-air the Tribute for the Troops show, or throw together some sort of "best of" show on the fly. Since an Act of God forced the cancellation, they could pay homage to God's appearances on WWE programming -- The Vince vs. Shawn vs. God feud, a best of Brother Love compilation, some of Christian's best matches, that sort of thing.

I'd be shocked if there wasn't a contingency plan in place not just for this week, but for every week in case something happens.

 

Taker did a one-off match during that volcano, right? It was like SmackDown "invaded" RAW?

 

Anybody else been having problems viewing the Network using Safari? I've tried to pop on there a few times in the last week or two, and it never loads. Everything around it does, but not the stream. Other browsers seem to work fine, and I never had a problem using Safari until recently.

 

Still completely unimpressed with the Ascension since they've been moved up to Raw.
