Whoa, I definitely wasn't expecting that.

I haven't been following Smackdown storylines, but they really gonna use Bryan's big return match on Shane?? I mean Shane puts on fun matches and is underrated in the ring, but still..he's not even a d--- wrestler.

Either way, I'm hyped..good for him, hope he's fairly careful though lol.

I'm watching WrestleMania 26 now. I remember watching this at a girls house and her dad came in and was like "you know this s--- is fake right" and I was like "yeah but what I'm gonna do to your daughter later isn't gonna be fake"

I didn't actually say that back but what if

@Wzzi so I see ur YouTube guy got lucky when he predicted Rey then everyone caught onto the rumors. Then made a vid bragging about it and surprise--Cena's facing undertaker instead

It was a good show. The main event was underwhelming, but that's creative's fault (after the buildup for this match, you don't at least make it No DQ?!)

Money in the Bank
The Jericho vs Steamboat portions of the 3 on 1 handicap match
Jeff vs Matt
Taker vs Shawn

All good matches. Cena/Edge/Show 3 way wasn't terrible, but it directly followed Taker vs HBK so it was just hard to care about it. They really should have put the bs women's battle royal on after Taker/HBK to give the crowd a chance to rest

Cena's basically a part timer as it is. He's WWE for life and if he's stuck around this long, he isn't going anywhere. He'll be in the Rock/Brock role down the line, same with Orton.

Here's what happened to the wrestling business. WWE got a bit better (relatively, it still s----d), WCW became a pile of s--- and went out of business, then ECW went out of business. Competition is good, right? Right. They then had the atrocious Invasion angle which buried WCW and the vast majority of its talent. So you have these kids who grew up watching WCW or ECW who stopped watching as they grew up, and the WWF fans doing the same as the product started to go downhill. The ruthless aggression era, despite a lot of great things, still had more tacky/ridiculous s--- that they thought used to get over in the 90's. Katie Vick? The lesbian love triangle with Torrie Wilson's dad? The Stephanie/Mr. McMahon feud and match? So on and so forth. Even 15 years ago, I really don't understand how the vast majority of adults could stomach watching something so gross and childish. Just got worse as the years went on and the popularity started to fade. The live sex celebration in 06? Like, what? When it gets to the point where even your most die hard defenders are embarrassed to even admit to liking your show, there's a problem. Just look at all the f---ing morons who come into these threads to make fun of us. The move to PG lost even more of those people who stuck around.

Very important part of all of this is the rise of UFC/MMA in the early/mid 2000's. Wrestling was cool back then. Now all these teenagers and young males who used to be into wrestling are into that because it's "real" and not "fake" fighting, it's not corny, there's no frills, it's just tough guys beating each other up. If you're into MMA at all, the lead up to the fights are just as much pro wrestling as pro wrestling. It scratched that itch. Instead of getting together with your friends to watch the big PPV every month after being expected to watch two shows a week, now you can catch "the fights" at the bar or in a house party setting multiple times a month. WWE's average television audience is 50+. You look at the crowds of these shows and it's chock full of nerds and families. A friend I have in the UK who goes to indie shows says it's primarily smelly, 30 year old neckbeards.

It was a gradual fall after 2001, but I vividly remember not being able to talk about or make wrestling references after the sixth grade (05/06?). That last year before high school man, something happened. Girls and other interests took over and the wrestling just wasn't something you were supposed to be into.

I doubt it'll be better than AJ vs Shinsuke

high probability that match is better than any mania match

f--- you Braun....

I think he uses his real dragon ball sources to fabricate wrestling sources. Are you sure that KO and Sammy incident even turned out to be anything? Thought KO's kids got sick or something so they both skipped a tour

That Rey Mysterio bragging vid for example just screams tryhard fabricator. He was so cocky because MELTZER reported a Rey story that lined up with what he says. Now Meltzer says different and whoops, guess he's gotta cover his a--- now? Just too suspicious.

Whereas we KNOW Meltzer has sources.

If you’re pissed about your favorite wrestler losing a match, just remember that Akeem pinned Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 5

Underrated classic Hardcore Street Fight right there. That whole PPV is in my Top 10 Favorites of all time. Such an underscored event, but very important that it preceded Wrestlemania XV.
