1. What time does WM pre-show/kick-off start? 6pm CST? 2. I think the rock's announcement might be something silly like " we broke the record for people in the stadium" or some nonsense...

The real amazing thing is that this poster has been here for 10+ years and made one post, today of all days, that is extremely helpful. I'm kind of in shock about that. lol

Rumors: Rock is the New Day's fourth partner. Wyatt Family interferes in Taker match costing Taker the match (That'd be cool).

y WM predictions for fun: WrestleMania 32 Main Card Lineup WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Triple H © vs. Roman Reigns Roman Reigns wins, with help from a heel turning him heel here Hell In A Cell Match (If Shane wins, he controls RAW. If Undertaker loses, he's done at WrestleMania) - The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon The Undertaker wins in a crazy fight, with someone/something screwing over Shane as to continue the rivalry with Vince and Shane over the company No Holds Barred Street Fight - Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose Brock wins in a fight that makes Dean Ambrose look like Stone Cold Steve Austin from WM 13 WWE Intercontinental Championship (Ladder Match) - Kevin Owens © vs. The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Sami Zayn vs. Stardust vs. Zack Ryder vs. Sin Cara Really hope Zayn wins here or Owens. Couldn't care less about Miz / Ziggler at this point. Cara/Stardust don't have a chance. Ryder, maybe, but he's middle ground. My pick: Zayn. Then he feuds with Owens WWE Divas Championship - Charlotte © vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch Don't know enough about the Women's division yet to predict. I go Charlotte as it's her first WM Handicap Match - The League Of Nations vs. The New Day Got to be New Day as they continue their face run and more battles with the LON Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal - Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Big Show, Kane, Tyler Breeze, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Fandango, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Konnor, Viktor, Goldust, R-Truth and four other participants to be announced. No idea, I go Henry since I hear it's his last WM ? - Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles I think this might be the easiest to predict. AJ Styles wins as he continues his push. - An appearance with surprises by The Rock Not sure what this will be. I have no clue. Hopefully it's not something insanely stupid.

Man, Brock Lesner is something else. Not sure if I want to consider him a tool, stupid, or what, but: Sponsored Links Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is doing media appearances to promote tonight's WrestleMania 32. In an interview with Dan Gelston of AP, Lesnar talked about his travel schedule with WWE and his thoughts on his job with the biggest pro wrestling company in the world. “Vince (McMahon) got his checkbook out and he’s writing more checks,” Lesnar said of his increased work load. “But I have a limit and we’re at that limit right now.” “This is a job and I’m not caught up into it like maybe I’m supposed to be,” he said. “I approach this as, I’m a skilled worker. I clock in, I clock out. People pay to watch me and, by chance, I guess they find me entertaining. … When I look back and what I’m proud of is the money in my bank account.” Sure, the money is nice and perhaps one could even consider this statement 'highly logical,' but man, that's just lame.

This Warriors team is much better than the Bulls team from the past. Reality shouldn't piss you off.

Thanks for that, very good/helpful information. I agree that it seems like a better product from my limited viewing.

"Fight Forever" might be my favorite chant i've ever heard!

Nakumara busted open!

Yes, just turned it on -- so cool. Wrestling is great too. Nakumara seems like a legit real deal, same with Zyan. Styles / Zyan / Owens / Nakumara some great hope here

Why is this "NXT" cooler/better than WWE? Can someone explain this to me? lol. When the hell did a TNA guy like Samoa joe come here. Why and why did he not just go to WWE? So there is better wrestling here? wtf

First thing to note: Several fans from the Dallas area have noted that local advertising and merchandise at the WWE Axxess events are listing Triple H vs. Roman Reigns as a no disqualifications match. This opens the door for outside interference in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between the two. Next, a very interesting read on possible outcomes of WM vs. Realistic outcomes. http://rajah.com/node/51432 I particularly like the idea of Reigns joining up with Vince and going full on heel to embrace the boo's and get HHH/STEPH out of scene for a while. That way, either Shane or Undertaker can win and you can evolve a Shane vs. Vince rivalry over then next few months.

Eliminate him. As noted above, really hate taking Posey @ 12 overall. Much better players are available there. Did you pick Stanton @ number 2 overall? Over Trout/Harper/Goldschmidt? Sano and Seager were also drafted earlier than i'd expect them to be. Not a big fan of the Jansen pick or the Lindor pick. The rest of your draft seems to be filled with solid guys and sleepers which is nice. Although, where's your other RP's? Casilla and Jansen is all? Deff. not a big fan of the start of your draft tho, especially if you choose to draft stanton over one of Trout/Harper/Goldschmidt.

There is a lot of things WWE does to annoy the living s*** out of me. However, many of these things are generally 'smart for business' or at least, they make money with their philosophy. However, one thing that I can't understand for the life of me is why the King of the Ring PPV was taking away. You get 8 or 16 mid-card wrestlers, have a great tournament, and boom a winner is born with great honor. There are some flops, but this is a perfect opportunity to create a star! Obviously, it was back in 2015, but no longer a PPV or marque event, kinda useless IMO. Meanwhile, we have something like 13-15 ppv's with gimmicky names like Elimination Chamber or Money in the bank or TLC or Hell in a cell. (rofl). Why the hell did they change the PPV names to be gimmicks? Such corny bs. At least, I can understand this -- they make money off the PPVs so more ppvs is a good thing for business. Whatever. But why not have the KOTR, it was once known as a big 5. That's like the equivalent of taking away survivor series for no reason.

Is contact completely nonexistent? I would have been lenient up until the season started, but now we are a few days away. I'd want to have all managers active for opening day. If he's not there for opening day, then the league doesn't mean much for him. I'd seriously consider the heave-ho now, unless there is a means of communication.

Good move with the women's division. Name change: Divas --> Womens == very smart. Title change: corny butterfly --> professional belt == smart

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H recently spoke with CBSSports.com to promote this Sunday's WrestleMania 32 event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below are some of the highlights from the interview. On the "mixed reaction" Roman Reigns receives from WWE fans: “You know, the hardest thing in this business to do now is, as a character, to either make everyone love you or everyone hate you,” Levesque said with a laugh. “The world is a divided place in politics, in music and everything. Choices now, and people’s opinions, are front and center more than ever. The Internet makes that readily available to everybody. They know all of the machinations of everything and the behind-the-scenes of everything, you know." On changes in crowd reactions to babyfaces over the years: “It used to be that the good guy was the guy that didn’t cheat, you know what I mean? It was just very simple. The world has changed. I think [Reigns has] done a phenomenal job. He’s, you know, from a behind-the-scenes standpoint, a great human being. I’m really happy for his success, as I am for all of them… “The days of everybody loves the white knight and everybody hates the dark knight are gone. You’ve seen it for, what, the last 10 years with John Cena. I used to say to John all the time, ‘You’re the Red Sox and the Yankees in the same game. Half the place hates you, half the place loves you, but it’s full, so who cares?'” Pretty accurate to me. As long as the fans keep mixed reactions but filling the seats, there's no reason to change the philosophy, no matter how many smart 'marks' there are out on the interwebz.

Nice interview with CM Punk. Generally agree with his comments and it was nice hearing a little bit of the backstage politics that go on. It's really unfortunate that they exist, makes me not want to care for wrestling much.

Thanks for the podcast suggestion, appreciate it! Sounds great so far.

I recently began playing wwe 2k14 and have been enjoying it. CM Punk has always been an interesting character and a great wrestler so I began looking through his storylines. Namely, the MITB here in Chicago vs. John Cena struck out to me. I kept reading online and have been finding various quotes, articles, etc. about Punk. Can anyone fill me in on why WWE and Punk can no longer co exist? Punk seems mad at WWE for not pushing him correctly? Does Punk dislike the fact that Cena is the superman character? Just any general information here for fun would be cool. Thanks

I agree with the recent assements in this thread. There are some sad matches: The main event is terrible. But they do have some highlights: Ladder match, HIAC, AJ Styles vs. Jericho. So, I think it's a decent card. They could have done more with the buildup, they really failed on storyline progression. Even the one with the most thought, Aj Styles vs. Jericho seems a bit stale.

We have a street fight, a hell in a cell, a ladder match at wrestlemania. Fun. Bit of a clusterf*** for sure, all these multi-people matches being thrown together with little build. Surely will have the Y2J vs. AJ Styles match that hopes to be a bit of a classic. I'm definitely ok with the card (not thrilled, but not terribly upset, outside of the main event title match)

Reigns going crazy, attacking Hunter when he tries to pick up Steph. Nice bit to the storyline. But once again, Reigns comes out pretty damn stale (also booed). I just look at it like, there was the time where Austin would do this type of stuff and the crowd would go wild. Reigns does this and makes it look incredibly boring. Literally, this was a 15 second attack that ended up with HHH easily getting away, how lame.

YESSS 7-man ladder match is out of it! YES YES YES YES I was hoping this would happen with everything going down. HELL YEAH! K.O. Vs. Dolph vs. Miz vs. Sin Cara vs. Stardust vs. Sami Zyan vs. Whoever else the guy was (Ryder?)
