2019 Pro Wrestling thread

I'm biased, but it's hard to top this one

 

I don't know, but I can't really see how Ryder and Hawkins lose. This has to be the end game to Hawkins' losing streak, right? Even if they lose the belts right back to the Revival on Monday, like Ryder with the IC belt to Miz a few years ago.

 

1. Hogan/Warrior. It was a dream match and I was glad the F was willing to have two babyfaces match up.

2. They’re a blur after a while, but I’ve always liked 8 for personal reasons. I was a freshman in college and a friend on my floor had his brother tape the PPV on the VCR, then overnighted it to him so we all got to watch it the day after. My parents couldn’t afford the PPVs and I always had to wait several months for the video store to have the tapes. It was cool watching something that was only a day old and with my friends. Plus, it was a fun show with Taker’s babyface debut, Bret/Piper and Savage/Flair going nuts on each other.

Now it’s kinda nuts that I can watch it all live on this little telephone I can carry around with me.

3. Undertaker, just because he’s done it so long. Michaels has had better performances, but Taker just is the mainstay.

4. Cyndi Lauper, since without her (and Mr. T), there might not have been a Wrestlemani.

 

That was the first thing I saw this morning. That was so fascinating.

When’s Part 2?

 

Wow, that was great. My two favorites were Braun and Drew.

 

Jimmy's always been pretty WWE-friendly. I loved the Lip Sync Battle between New Day and Steph/HHH.

 

If he doesn't show up on Sunday this will be the first Wrestlemania since 2000 without the Undertaker. Do they bring him in for a quick squash match? Maybe another unannounced 3-minute special with Cena to follow up last year's storyline?
It's crazy to look at a Wrestlemania card and say that it doesn't need either one of those guys at all, but here we are.

 

Wrestlemania 18 is my favorite.

Bret Owens probably my favorite match. If I was writing or seriously voting, Taker is Mr Mania. In my heart though its Hogan.

Wish I was more excited. Its such a committment I have no idea how Im going to find 8 hours to watch all this. And of 16 or whatever matches, I think I care about 4ish.

Low expectations typically deliver big returns so deep down I am optimistic.

The show needs a shave tho. Badly. Literally half is fat that could be cut.

 

Hasn't been released yet.

 

Few Wrestlemania quiz questions for you guys:

Who did Randy Savage not compete against in the vacant WWF championship tournament at Wrestlemania 4(Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, Greg Valentine)?

Andre The Giant and Big John Studd had a Body Slam Challenge for how much money at Wrestlemania?

Which match was the main event for WrestleMania 7?

Who wrestled the most main events at Wrestlemania?

 

Rude (could have been a great match though)

$15,000

Hogan-Slaughter, although I think they did hype it up as a double main event with Warrior and Savage too.

Hogan.

 

Correct. I guess they were pretty easy questions.
