What's the stadium like? Wasn't that the reason why some years the crowd sound worse than they are due to it being open air or something?

It was a mixture of the mics not being placed properly and a dead crowd due to a very meh Wrestlemania.

Oh dear, this will not go well if they put Reigns over to win...

Only if he wins as a face. I can imagine the crowd loving it if he wins as a heel to be honest.

So if he wins as a good guy, he gets booed.

If he wins as a bad guy, he'll get cheered.

That's quite the booking dilema :pac:

Yes, yes it is. But it's the one time a year when you can't judge a character by the crowd to be honest. Lesnar is going to get a massive cheer even though he is supposed to be a Monster heel, as is Wyatt.

Honestly I'd doubt it; it would still be to much Vince pet project over it all.

Just watching one of the preview shows. Sting has been dormant for 14 years. Can't understand why WWE need to pretend TNA doesn't exist

DM_7

Because it doesn't have value

If it added value to WWE they would use it. Like how UFC accomplishments make Brock a bigger star.

Mentioning TNA could actually make Sting look a lot less important.

I d'ont think that Vince will want Rollins as champ yet. There could be a failed cash in attempt tonight.

Yeah that's true, just feel like there trying to push the fact he hasn't wrestled in 14 years when the majority of people know he was wrestling pretty much consistently up until the last couple of years

Flair mentioned Sting wrestling once a week for the last 10 years on Wrestlemania Today.

Oh Ric.....

How can you even call yourself a wrestling fan if you don't like listening to the crazed, incoherent ramblings of an old man?

Anyone going to be segueing into the Wrestlemania coverage following the Ireland/Poland game tonight?

Tolerable in very small doses but unfortunately we don't get that. He's up there with Hogan when it comes to being a shameless leach. HBK is doing his best to join the gang. We don't need legend panels in the middle of the ring or Hulk Hogan Christmas Raws. The network has given everyone the opportunity to remember them for the good things but WWE seem determined to give them a platform to embarrass themselves to a whole new generation of fans.

Remember 10pm preshow, Midnight for mania.

He was actually pretty good on Wrestlemania Today.

I was more worried about Dusty, I hope he has lost that amount of weight deliberately as opposed to something more concerning.

Well he sounds fine when he was talking on the red carpet thing last night and the weight loss isn't that bad.

Palo Alto

It's fairly drastic, it's either been advised that he loses weight due to heart risk or diabetes or it's something more malign. Hope it's the former.

Tugboats

Following Dusty Rhodes appearance on Monday Night Raw we got a couple of emails from readers asking about Dusty Rhodes’ weight loss. He’s actually been leaner for about a year but most fans have not seen Dusty so his appearance might have shocked some people.

For those that have asked, Dusty is fine and the weight loss is because of a change in his eating habits so there is nothing to be concerned about.

I'm contemplating watching this tonight.

Will it be worth only getting 4 hours sleep?

Go to bed before the main event! The rest of the card is actually interesting to be fair!

Might get a couple of hours before it starts and see what happens.

Mr.Nice Guy

I think it's going to be a great show despite the terrible build-up. Not sure if The Rock is going to be there but if they want Brock vs Rock next year then they could do something involving him in the main event tonight.

Looking forward to Undertaker and Sting's entrances and possibly a Sheamus run-in somewhere. Maybe a few other surprise appearances too.

I think Orton/Rollins and the ladder match will be very good. The crowd involvement will certainly play a big part in how the show does.

I'm pretty optimistic it will be worth staying up for.
