Whats a dark match?

To be honest I think wrestling is pretty dire since the attitude era but I watch it now and again and hope to see John Cena get a rock bottom.

Have hardly any interest in the majority of the matches bar the Undertakers one, the miz/cena one (because of the rock) and the Sheamus/Bryan one.

Charisteas

That's a damn shame and it sucks to be sheamus and bryan, do they still get a big mania pay-day if they technically aren't on the official card?

D2D

Teddy Long came out and now, US Title match has been turned into a Battle Royal and is the dark match happening right now.

its just a match that wont be live on tv, usually to warm up the crowd/get some guys on the card that usually wouldnt have a match,

reading now the us title match has turned into the annual jobbers battle royal!

joe123

What? I dont get it how can a match thats been put on the card start before Wrestlemania even begins??

How Soon Is Now

That makes me ****ing sick be honest if they had of given the two of them at least a 15 minute match would of been one of the best on the card.

Just goes to show how much they think of the ''wrestling'' side of things now a days. ****ing Snooki will get more air time jesus christ.

celtictiger32

definately not as appealing as the good old days but ye still gotta watch..

celtictiger32

ffs that was one i was looking forward to i always enjoy sheamus,

flahavaj

Gutted for Sheamus and Danielson.:(

D2D

Apparantly, Khali has won the match. No clue if it was for the title

Pool4Life

Should have axed that 8 man tag will be muck anyway. only 2 titles defended at wrestlemania :mad:

df1985

celtictiger32

What I getting from twitter is that the US Title match was going on and it apparently finished in a double DQ after the lumberjacks interfered. Match was changed to a Battle Royale, which Khali won by eliminating Sheamus

There's talk that the US Title match will be on the card now??

Anyway, I'm staying up to catch the start of Mania. Found a perfect stream, only problem is that the commentary is in Romanian

johnnycnandy

Balls. Was looking forward to Sheamus/Danielson. They could have axed one of the tag matches. Hope Taker/HHH lives up to the billing and Rock whoops Cena's ass. Otherwise I've wasted my money.

We may get a replay of the finish tonight or tomorrow on Raw, but the full match will probably be on the DVD.

So Khali is the new US champ now, or was it non-title?

POSSY

Just finished watching hhh and sheamus from last year as I wait for the start of the show... its sickening to see how backwards sheamus' carreer went this past year, not getting to perform at Mania last minute just says it all. Just hoping for a good show tonight.

celtictiger32

you just know sheamus will never get a chance

Pauleta

Havnt watched Wrestling properly since WM last year but i am making the annual pilgrimage to the couch tonight

celtictiger32

D2D

Khali's not the US Champion

I'm the same. Last wrestling match I watched was Taker/HBK last year. You gotta watch Mania tho!

SantryRed

Undertaker's gonna lose his streak tonight

D2D

Whooooo!!!!! Time to WrestleMania!!!

df1985
