2014 Pro Wrestling Thread

J.O.B. Squad!

 

And here ... we ... go.
Fatal four-way tag match about to kick off the festivities.

 

Predictions?
I'm going to take the Usos in this dark match.
AJ Lee keeps her belt.
Bryan (obviously) beats HHH.
Taker beats Lesnar.
Big E wins the Battle Royal
Wyatt over Cena
Kane and the NAO over the Shield
Bryan pins Batista for the title.

 

I still can't process that this is the first WM since 20 that Cena is neither fighting for the title nor in the final match. I'm very okay with that.

So, one month into the WWE Network, and here's my verdict: my cable Internet provider will likely force me to upgrade my plan unless I moderate my viewing. I have a 300 GB per month cap on bandwidth. If I go over three times in a 12-month period, I'm forced to upgrade to the next plan for another $25 a month for 400 GB in bandwidth. In March, I used 392 GB. Yikes.

(Of course, this is not all WWE Network. The wife and I are cable cutters, so we watch everything on Netflix or Hulu Plus.)

 

No issues with the stream so far for me, and I've HDMI'd my computer up to my TV. Crisp, clear picture and sound.

 

Usos retain in a decent match that got better once Los Matdores and Rybaxel got eliminated.
I have no problem with the Usos. I kind of like how they're a throwback to the classic teamwork-based tag teams like the Rockers, Demolition, the Hart Foundation and the Killer Bees. There's a place for that, and they're fun to watch.

Oh yeah, and we got the breakup of the Real Americans in the postmatch sequence. Swagger turns on Cesaro, followed by Cesaro swinging Swagger.
Less thrilled about that. I knew it was coming, and that Cesaro needs to break out on his own sooner rather than later, but I kind of liked that tag team.

 

Just watching on the laptop, but same here. The sound was a bit off during part of the pre-show, but it seems OK now. I've also closed out the browser a couple of times and had no problems jumping right back on.

 

My predictions, which I did post in another forum earlier before Usos won:

Undertaker wins because duh

Bryan wins, then wins the title match after HHH and Kane try to interfere but Hogan and that guy that's reported to be there but I won't list because spoilers stop it from happening.

SuperCena buries Wyatt, much wailing ensues

Usos retain

AJ retains

Shield wins

Big Show wins

 

Thirty seconds in, and Hulk channels R-Truth -- TWICE.
This is going well.

 

Going through my xbox and get moments where it has to rebuffer and gets choppy at times. Could be worse though. Might be my wireless router.

 

The Rock says, "No one does a 20-minute Wrestlemania-opening promo without me, jabronis."

 

This is kind of boring.
