    Mania is saved!

    Now if they could get Nita Strauss to play Becky's theme live, I'd be happy.

    14 matches on the card so far, with neither of the men's tag titles announced yet. Twice as many matches as Wrestlemania 11 and 12, and two short of the record 16 at Wrestlemania 4!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,885 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Quite a few of them will have to be on the pre show unfortunately

    Miz vs Shane should be, but it won't because Shane

    Women's tag titles, mens & womens battle royal and CW title are shoe ins for the pre show

    Any mens tag titles will end up on the pre show too you'd imagine, and Joe vs Rey could easily be on it too

    Hope the show opens with Styles vs Orton, the last few Manias have had good openers with the right match to open the show and the only one for me that does it is Styles vs Orton, I can see it being Shane vs Miz but it's not the right match imo since it's toilet break fodder on a Mania card


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,755 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Womens tag match will be main show because it's the women, new tag titles, Beth, Nia, etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Here is your pre show.

    Finn & Lashley

    Murphy & Nese

    Joe & Rey



    One of The Andre Battle Royal or The Women's Battle Royal might open the show otherwise it will be on the pre show as well.

    Think both Battle Royals were on the preshow last year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    They have the Saturday Night Live guys in the Andre one this year that makes me think it might slip onto the main show.

    Ron Gronkowski got involved 2 years ago when it was on the pre show

    They stream the pre show live on youtube free I believe, since guys like that are to bring in the more casual audience I'd say putting it on the pre show will bring in as many people if not more

    If the battle royal concept slipped off a cliff I'd be happy. Don't care if it gets everyone on the card, not everyone deserves to be. That's the harsh truth.

    That’s very true and a great point. And especially as they’re not doing ppv bonuses like they used to it really doesn’t matter if you make the ppv or not.

    And I think a lot of wrestlers get the hump to be lumped onto the preshows. Mania doesn’t need a preshow just make it a 5 hour show start to finish no preshow.

    It's gonna be a 5 hour show for me this year, assuming I'll be arsed to stay awake next Sunday night that is.

    Yeah I'll likely put on the network but zone out of the pre show completely. Might fire up a game of FM while I'm waiting or something.

    Or just find some gifs to annoy youse guys with :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,335 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    2 hour pre show and 4 hour main event?

    I'm calling nonsense on this, the gifs are sometimes the best part about live threads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I'm guessing 2 hour pre show and 5 hour main show.

    This is my guess too. Have to stay up for it to see Becky take home the gold.

    And turn it off before the hugs and the Steph starts

    Steph leads the crowd in yes chants and show ends with HHH presenting Steph with flowers and confetti falling on them both.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,755 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    And Steph is announced as the first inductee into HoF for next year as well as the Warrior Award recipient for all she's done for the women's (r)evolution


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Has the build up to Lesnar/Rollins mentioned the WM31 cash in at all apart from a Heyman tweet? On one hand I get it because it was kind of a heelish move and Seth is now face, on the other hand I don't because it seems like the perfect back-story to build on.

    When I look at the top of the card, its a damn good card

    The booking might be a shame in the lead up to it, but on the night it’s gonna be a good one I reckon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,888 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Iv'e a feeling by sunday, both womens titles will be on the line, i just cant see the logic of charlotte in the match now when she's got a title.

    Funny you should say that, Meltzer is reporting that they’ll make this official during the week. It’s the right thing to do at this stage, Becky holding both titles above her head will be a great image for Irish sport(s entertainment). A double champ we can actually be proud of. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,755 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Unless they have a 2 falls match with a title for each win. I remember they did that before where the person with both titles left with none

    Definately suggest firing up some fm , I'm enjoying your reviews in the fm forum!

    I suggest downloading extreme warfare revenge, wrestling simulator that's free online you can download updated roster and then do reviews here!

    I paid for the TEW updated version, but didn't find it as fun as extreme warfare revenge!

    I honestly dont read what he says, but i was thinking about it last night, there is no reason why she should be in the match now, unless her title is up grabs, if it wasnt, she'd be defending it elsewhere on the card


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Charlotte to announce she's gracefully (yeah right) bowing out of the Raw Women's Championship match, (and instead will defend the Smackdown Live Women's Championship) and letting it be the 1 on 1 it should've been the night after the Royal Rumble when Becky reset her sights on Ronda.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,885 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    If they hadn't already announced the 3 women were main eventing, I could believe that she would now go on to just be in the SD women's title match instead

    Instead we'll get a mess where Charlotte takes the fall or the tap, she's kept strong because she'll be the SD champ come the Tuesday, Ronda kept strong because she didn't pin or submit herself, and Becky will be the Raw champ coming out

    It's WWE's 50/50 keep everybody strong booking

    Don't discount the swerve of Charlotte winning. Charlotte/Ronda seemed to be the plan until Becky's popularity forced their hand. They may not shift from the original outcome they had in mind.
