    The UFC story ? You mean McGregor working himself into a shoot ? If it's a pro wrestling "angle" then the NYPD are in on it, which would be a first.

    So you wouldn't call that a major UFC news story then?

    It's a major story for the wrong reasons.

    And it's still taking all the attention off WM34 and putting it on the UFC.


    I'd say Vince doesn't care what the reasons are people aren't talking about the WWE on it's biggest weekend of the year.

    I think people who were going to watch WM this weekend were going to watch anyway regardless of McGregor acting the bollox. Don't really understand the concept that UFC AND WWE are in competition.

    Well they are on the same tree of combat sports.

    Yeah but one is fiction and one is legit, and I would have thought that would have been generally accepted. I know there's an element that like both but I can't buy UFC pulling a stroke like this to significantly hurt Mania.

    I've personally zero interest in MMA outside of McGregor and watch pro wrestling because I appreciate the overall art over pure combat. That's why we love the likes of Miz!

    Cathy Kelley announced four entrants for the men's battle royale
    and one of them was Kurt Angle.

    Are you sure that wasn’t for the Greatest Royal Rumble as that doesn’t make sense to have Angle of all people double job it.

    Doubt it at this stage as they’ve heavily advertised Kurt. Wouldn’t make sense to switch with no with no new build.

    No disrespect to
    Kurt
    , but this is the WWE, and regardless of the advertising (*card subject to change :pac:), they'd probably pull a last minute
    bait and switch
    if they could.
    Or announce a last minute replacement at the last minute due to injury or something

    I'll take off my tinfoil top-hat now :pac::pac:

    First offical look at the set. Looks like the giant mask can change colours too, so that will be awesome.

    Is it the same theme song as WM30? That’s a bit strange.

    The staging is awesome as always although the font takes a bit of getting use to I rather the traditional WM logo font. But that’s a small complaint.

    I was thinking for Bryan/Shane tag match it would be awesome if they have The Miz lose his intercontinental championship earlier in the night and later on come out and hit Bryan with the skull crushing finale on Bryan costing them the match without having either Bryan or Shane turn. And it continues the best underlining fued in the WWE at the moment.

    Miz vs Bryan is a money feud imo, and that would be a fascinating way to start it up proper. Have Shane or Bryan draft him to SD afterwards too cause they obviously need to settle their differences.

    For anyone worried if they have enough junk to get through the whole of the show, I may have a solution.

    Apologies if too large but just saw in the shop and thought of this so took the photo

    So who's getting the big **** off entrances

    My guess is Triple H and Steph as per usual
    Styles and Nakamura might
    Reigns
    Askua

    If there going with Demon Balor (no mention of it) than he will prob get a big entrance

    Have they ever used Demon Balor without plugging the crap out of it?

    Too much collar flicking to be done, no need for the Demon

    If they go with Demon Finn it could take 10+ minutes for him to crawl to the ring.

    WWE have, for some reason, put up the Styles/Nakamura pre match video.
