THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

I hope the reason Rock's segment went on so long was because they were working on a contingency plan for if the crowd wasn't feeling Reigns.
They need to have someone do a run in or something. If Reigns wins this clean, the boos will be 10x worst than when he won the Rumble.
And that's nothing against Reigns. He seems like a good enough guy, but the crowd just isn't buying him. Not yet.
 
I'm not saying that they should turn Reigns. To be honest, I haven't seen enough charisma from him to show that he would even be a good heel.
But damn the heel promo writes itself:
"When I won the Rumble you booed me." When Rollins cashed in and stole my Mania moment, you cheered. When I finally won the title, you booed. When I won the title again at Mania, you booed. You know what, I'm sick and tired of trying to be what people want me to be. I'm tired of trying to be 'their' guy for the people in the back. I'm tired of trying to be the fan favorite for you people. From now on, the only person that matters to me is me! Screw everybody else."
 
That was actually a decent Wrestlemania that suffered from a boring and uninteresting main event. It should have ended with the Taker/Shane match.

Best match of the night was a toss up between the Women's Championship Match and IC Ladder Match.

Only thing they can do at this point to save Roman is turn him heel. Hoping Rollins returns tomorrow to a face pop and Roman turns.

The difference between the celebration of the end of this match and Daniel Bryan's WM win two years ago is telling. LMAO they were showing outside shots of the stadium fireworks to not show the displeasure and boos of the crowd from within.

Hoping for a heel turn tomorrow.

Wow he sucks as a face.
 
Maybe Reigns turns on the Rock. A Samoan stable with the Uso's would be a good look for Reigns but with the Balor Club coming soon they don't need another stable.

I'm hoping for a new brand extension. They have too much talent when everyone gets back from injuries to not give certain guys pushes.

The Raw after Mania is always a must watch show. Hopefully it's great.
 
I don't know how I feel about this Mania. I mean I had completely written it off, so I guess I can say it was much better than I expected it to be.
The best match of the night was the Women's Championship match .... which ended in some bullshit. It says a lot that the best match on the card had a questionable ending.
The Taker/Shane match was good only because Shane is still bat shit crazy.
None of the other matches really felt like 'Mania' matches. The IC Title ladder match and the New Day matches were cool, but nothing really stood out in those to define them as Mania matches. Those matches could have just as easily been on any other PPV.

Shaquille O’Neal is a large human being who could also be a pro wrestler.

During the Andre Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32, Shaq surprised us all with an appearance in the ring.



Watch as everyone in the ring paused for Shaq’s entrance. He’s 7-foot-1, 320 pounds. That can be intimidating for any wrestler.

Shaq entered the ring and immediately stared down the Big Show who is also a large person.



This was too awesome.
 


therockIf.. IF I throw this epic Kerry Von Erich spinning discus punch at #WrestleMania32 here's why it means so much to me.

1986 in Hawaii. My grandmother, Lia Maivia was running a big tribute wrestling show in my grandfather's honor who passed away 4 years earlier. All the biggest stars in wrestling were there paying tribute - Andre the Giant, Antonio Inoki, Dusty Rhodes and one my heroes - Kerry Von Erich.

It was supposed to be an amazing night, until... I got word that Lars Anderson, who was the champion of my grandmother's promotion decided he was NOT going to lose his title that night to a wrestler named "Bad News" Allen. Let me share context with you guys - Lars Anderson comes from a wrestling family known as the Anderson Brothers (Lars and Gene) - and widely considered the legit toughest and meanest SOB's in wrestling. Wrestling historians know what I'm talking about.

In my 14yr old punk brain, I didn't think to keep my nose out of the business, because it's exactly that - business. All I thought was Lars was being disrespectful to my dead grandfather and he needed to get his ass kicked... and I was the one to do it.

I stormed into the locker room where ALL the wrestlers were getting dressed, went right up to Lars and said "You disrespectful son of a bitch you won't drop the belt tonight, I'm gonna kick your ass all over.." right at that moment my dad was behind me pulling me away and choking me out (thankfully cause Lars would've f*cked me up). Keep in mind I'm 14yrs old.

I was hysterical, crying and scared. My mom came to the back to console me. People were pissed and I was embarrassed of what I did. The ONE guy who came up to me was Kerry Von Erich and tapped me on the chest and said "Hey kid, it's gonna be alright" and he walked off.

Kerry passed away in 1993, but I'll never forget that moment when one little gesture from a hero meant so much to that 14yr old punk kid.

So when y'all see me throw that spinning discus punch at #WrestleMania32 you know who it's for. #KerryVonErich #VonErichFam #PeoplesChamp4L
