It’s Stephanie’s idea actually.

Riddle101

Finn's entrance was lame. Why come out last? I thought I saw photos the other day of Finn rehearsing his Wrestlemania entrance which looked interesting so that's why I assumed he was last, but he got nothing. The Miz should have come out last.

Yes Michael Cole, we know the rules for the match :pac:

Unfortunately not..

Trophy wife ? Yeah marayse is loving that comment I'd say.

Necro

Anyways, entrances and rainbow tights aside, this should be a great opener.

JP Liz V1

Finn Gaylor or Finn Gladlor

Finn Balor is gay now?

Loughc

Jesus John is fairly nursing that pint.

Pentecost

Why not let an actual gay wrestler use the gimmick?

J. Marston

John Cena is here folks!*


*With his own personal suited security team.

He battled his demons and overcome them....now he is gay.

Guarantee that narrative will be used

Itssoeasy

So Cena is actually sitting ringside ?

ricero

That’s the dumbest idea I've ever heard. What kind of dope comes up with something like that.....

Lithium93_

Jeez the obsession of a rumoured gay gimmick for Finn, who cares, it's silly yes cause WWE love jumping on bandwagons/obsessed with ratings/mainstream approval , but again who really cares?

Sure that pint is as flat as the Curragh.

DM_7

Finn has a tshirt out that will have 20% of proceeds go to GLAAD.

Not sure that means a gay persona for him. Just an attempt to be seen as corporately aware of social issues and deflect from the Saudi trip.

J. Marston

They're not doing the gay gimmick. They're just using him as an ambassador for acceptance or something.

Him and Cathy Kelley are public knowledge so it wouldn't work anyway.

martyos121

Not sure if the crowd were WOOing the figure 4 or cat-calling at Finn.

B.A._Baracus

I'll say it now...
That gay gimmick by finn won't get over. It's no secret fergal is straight. If it was portrayed by an openly gay man then yeah it would be grounded in reality.


It's 2018 and being gay is more accepted than ever. Which is a good thing. But don't tell me there aren't still a lot of closet homophobes and they won't get behind a gay character and yet again a straight man portraying a gay man character.

The worst part about that is if any of us ever meet her we can’t ask “have ya any Irish in ya”

J. Marston

Rollins' Super Falcon Arrow is awesome but he does it every week now.

Always seemed like a PPV move to me.

Answer = 'Not Currently'

Unless... someone sneaks into her home. Which would be wrong. Right? :pac::pac:

Billy Gunn was over the second he became rockabilly!

And the Night King takes the belt.

mrkiscool2

That was a pretty good match!

J. Marston

Really good match. Shame Finn didn't win though.

I think Ireland are gonna be 0-3 this Wrestlemania.

Lithium93_

Yes

Loughc

Decent match. And happy with the result.

Riddle101

I was almost convinced Finn was going over what with coming out last and just because it seemed like WWE would throw the gold his way for a while.

Seth ya big fcuking ride ya

Thepoet85

Solid start

Turtyturd

Best triple threat I’ve seen in a while...decent amount of time with all three in the ring.

happyoutscan

Who won?

Itssoeasy

Fair play Seth. I mean Wicklow winning anything would be strange.
