Ruined WM 23 - Worth watching?

The Sparrow

Was listening to the damn Newstalk on the radio this evening and some complete knob sent a text in saying that Kennedy, Taker and Cena won at Mania and the bloody host read it out thus completely spoiling it on me! B*st*rds!

Anyway my question is this... with that knowledge in mind, is it worth spending four hours watching the show like I was planning to do during the week?!

Its unbelievable how often shows like this get ruined on me:( I think I`m cursed!

(oh and if doesn`t go without saying, pls no spoilers)

I think it would be worth it. Plan on watching it again myself.

Mr.Nice Guy

Well I just watched the MITB today knowing the result and it was still entertaining. The Cena and Taker matches are enjoyable too even if you know the outcome.

I'd recommend you watch it.

Fozzy

I wouldn't watch the full four hours. The matches you'd expect to be bad were bad, you wouldn't really be missing anything by skipping them. The rest is worth watching though

some interesting things to watch out for.

1) cena was not driving that car, i paused it to confirm that he was in the passenger side. Jerry the king must have said 10 times ' what a good driver'

2) When Finlay was walking to the ring the screens showed the irish tri-colour flag. Why?????

3)All the lads talking ( Jr, King. Cole, JBL and Tazz ) in the first match worked, joey was quiet.

4) Kennedy jumping off the ladder with Hornsq...?? was good.

5)Undertaker had a great match. Man of the night.

6) In the Hair match watch out for the guy ( left hand side of the ramp as wrestlers are walking down, near the ring) holding a sign that says ' this is stupid'

7) Did ye see the fan that got into the ring in the last match, if you blinked your eyes you could have missed it.

Yeah watch about 5 seconds before he does,you can see him sprinting down like a mad yoke,it just caught my attention and I knew he was gonna do something stupid)

I love how you also posted the results of the 3 main matches without spoiler warnings.

JBL quote of the night:

"Lumber Jill pandemonium"

It's worth watching. I loved it, although I didn't know any spoilers.

you don`t think "ruined WM 23 - worth watching?" is enough of a warning about potential wrestlemania discussion?:rolleyes:

I was slightly disappointed with Taker's match being on so early.

i suppose to keep the crowd going they needed a big mid-card match - there was nothing else going really, although they could have swapped it with the ECW match.

That was good the way the camera guy did that cause if he showed him on camera they would someone every week jumping over the wall and trying to get into the ring for fame.


Anyway i sky+ WM and i still only watched it once, i meant to write the times the matches were on, onto a piece of paper, to save time and not watch all the junk in between matches. i would like to see some matches again but the thoughts of watching the junk between matches turns me off watching it again.

dissapointing WM for me , For me I didnt think WM 21 Would be topped ie angle vs HBK and first MITB . Then Came Along WM22 which was just got better . I thought WM wasnt near as good as Last years

Nobody should ever buy a WWE PPV. Its a waste of money, just download it off the internet the next day or get a buddy to tape it.

I miss the days when WrestleMania was free and when it was actually worth watching.

Great advice there :rolleyes:. I never remember Wrestlemania being free on UK tv. A subscription of some sort was always needed. Don't think Channel 4 showed Wrestlemania either.

One of the worst WM I have ever seen. The WWE is well & truely finished.

I could be really wrong, but I think WM 17 was on Channel 4, but don't hold me to it.

Actually, I've been enjoying Vince a lot more leading up to WM than I did last year with Shawn. I could do with a break from him though

A fantastic response there. Please explain how the storylines are a lot worse.

Quite right.
He deserves better treatment after all his years of service only to be bumped for Cena.
