    My predictions for the Bryan/McMahon v. Owens/Zayn and Angle/Rousey v. Authority
    No turn in Bryan match. Owens win under through devious means.

    Angle turns on Rousey.

    McGregor gone from 33s into 25s to make an appearance for what it's worth.

    Not worth anything - just means someone stuck €1 on it!

    Dana White said he'd be there to support Ronda... also said he didn't even know Brock was on the card (sure Dana I know you've been busy but nah)

    WWE havent booked the Styles/Nakamura feud well. They started teasing the build up right after he won the RR but didn't pull the trigger until after Fastlane because apparently AJ had to defend the title. So everything since Fastlane has been rushed and didn't really get interesting until a few weeks ago with the 'Knee 2 Face' bit.

    Don't see why they couldn't have scrapped the multi man match at Fastlane and instead have something like AJ and Nak team up against Sami and Owens. Could've interwoven two angles together and made for an interesting PPV and at the same time build an angle where AJ and Nak are trying to one up each other at every opportunity.

    As it is I want to see the match as they're two of the best wrestlers in the world. But the build towards it has been poor.

    WWE released a 40 minute video where they followed Nakamura around for a few months and got into his head. What his motivation was to wrestle, what his strong style ethos meant and how excited he was to wrestle AJ again. It's one of the best pieces of original programming WWE has ever done and none of it was aired on TV. Sure you can't show it all in one go but you can break it down into clips and air it over a few weeks. They do all this great stuff then don't pull the trigger on it.

    I hope the final three in the women's battle royal are Becky, Sasha and Bayley.

    Bayley and Sasha square up and start arguing, Becky dumps them both out and then shouts "No-one cares!" at them on the ground. The only ending that God-awful feud deserves.

    Any chance we can change the thread title to include "No betting talk"?
    I know this is the time of year we get non regulars

    There is a betting thread
    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056587637

    Apologies again if I'm backseat modding.

    I'm not sure I'll watch all the pre show. I know the second hour is live on tv in the US so might follow along and then start at 11pm. That's not a knock on anyone wrestling on it, it's just I want to not be burned after what will probably be nearly 8 hours long of an event overall.

    Deleted a post and looks like someone else already got to the topic title.

    But yeah, betting talk can be frustrating, cause it usually is 100% accurate. Please avoid it boys and girls :)

    Though I guess I'll see what the first match is. Possibly US title?

    Laptop. Check.

    Goodies? Check.

    Beer? Check.

    A whole boatload of wrestling related GIFs?

    You'd better believe that's another Check!

    Was gonna post this in the new thread but said I'd hold off till 10pm when things get started.

    Interesting question for peeps before the show starts:

    Fave theme tune of a person appearing at Mania tonight?

    I'm taking the obvious off the table first :P

    Rules are you can't post a theme song that has already been posted (ok, I'm trying to pass some time)

    For me it has to be this, now if they got a full blown orchestra to accompany the violin before the theme actually starts. It really would be AWESOME.

    Love Shinsuke's theme too tbh.

    There aren't many I dislike, although (surprise, surprise) I think Reigns could do with a new one.

    I always mark hard for the start of this though.
