WrestleMania 31 Pre Show Thread March 29 2015 *Potential Spoilers*

Tugboats

JR was saying on his recent podcast that there's thousands of tickets left for WM. Is that normal so close to the event?

Is there any celeb or musical guest this year?

It'll probably sell out the day of, including giving away a few thousand to do so through competitions etc. For reference:
WM30 was a 65k sellout (5k comps)
WM29 was a 72k sellout (6k comps)
WM28 had 64.9k (not a sellout, 2.5k comps)

Skylar Grey, Kid Ink and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker are doing a medley. LL Cool J will appear in the opening video package (but not performing).

It won't be getting dark till after 7. How will Taker and Wyatt be coming out after 7 if the event is over before 8pm?

I'll give WWE one thing, there's been so little by way of booking, that there's not one match on the card that I consider the result a foregone conclusion.

Come on Reigns, Cena, sting and Taker are winning for sure. oh also Orton.

The ladder match, I would be surprised if it was Bryan, but the way they be booking him in the last few months I wouldn't be so sure.

LL Cool J will not be performing live at Wrestlemania, thank f***. Musical performances almost universally suck the momentum out of a wrestling event and that goes double for rap/hip-hop where, let's face it, they rarely get going in the high-energy stakes.

Sting will beat HHH Cena wins lol and Orton beats Rollins, that's all I'm 99% sure of.

Taker is beating Wyatt and Reigns is going over Lesnar, no way are letting their pet project lose.

You are under-estimating WWE greatly. Everyone expected Lesnar to lost to Taker last year and looked what happened. People also expected Wyatt to beat Cena, look at what happened. There is always one match where the favourite loses.

I'm no longer certain about Reigns winning (still think he will), Sting will win, Cena and Rusev could go either way although I'd be more inclined to give the nod to Cena and Taker is no longer invincible and he has always said he wants to put over a younger talent at WM (Wyatt will be his last chance to do so as he is most likely facing Sting next year before retiring). Ladder match could go anyway to be honest (and yes, that includes R-Truth winning it) and the Battle Royal is a pick-em to be honest!

The only one Id agree with you being for sure on there is Sting.

I'm gonna totally mark out when Wyatt does his creepy spider thing and taker sits up.

If that happens at the same time that would be awesome. Both men on the mat, Wyatt gets on his hands and feet and Taker sits up. Still love when Wyatt did that to Cena last year and Cena sold it like a normal person would cause it's super creepy

The only way reigns is winning is if heyman turns on Brock and joins reigns

Liking the look of the Wrestlemania sign!

Personally I think the sign looks awful!

The big circle for the big Play button will look weird

What are we thinking about BNB leaving as the IC Champion? Heard an ad on the radio earlier for the Dublin show in 2 weeks which said "Dolph Ziggler challenges BNB for the IC championship". The same ad has Roman vs Show in a street fight with no mention of a title, so that would mean no heel turn for Roman.

How likely are these cards to change?

Not likely, but a possibility, all the house shows change constantly, you can't go on them.

The only reason I ask is because he's currently 8/1 on paddy power to win that match.

WinnyThePoo

Be happy for him. He can have a good feud with any of the other guys in the match.

That's not great IIRC, one of the 2 favs will win, think it's bryan and Ambrose

I'd love Bryan to win and actually bring some prestige back to my favourite title. Who does he feud with would be the question though.

Ziggler would be the obvious one for now and would make for some great matches, Barrett looking fir his title back? Ambrose turns heel? Sheamus? Sandow?

There are options But I'd prefer if Ambrose or Ziggler won and Bryan got his nose back into the title picture

While it may elevate the title, its not where Bryan should be. He will be wasted as IC champ.

Palo Alto

I disagree, he's the man to elevate it.

I'd rather him have a proper storyline and feud with someone instead of facing Kane and Show again. Putting that belt on him will automatically make it a huge deal again.
