Wrestlemania 35 Thread * Spoilers* (*No Betting Talk*)

Pre show will be a delayed watch on youtube at most for me.

Do you think they'll go with XPac's idea of naming it the Chyna memorial Battle Royal? Not this year, but next. Or would the same reasons stop that?

Nope. They've done their thing for her now, I'd say Trips and Steph will have no more mention of her tbh.

I think she deserves HOF entry on her own merit

What would you guys start the main show off with I’m thinking the fatal 4 way tag as it’ll be fast paced action packed or Roman/drew

Kurt/Corbin, that way it's done and won't have to look forward to see later in the show.

I don't really want it to happen but could actually see Bryan/Kofi opening. Would really get the crowd pumped.

The last few years have been multi man matches as the opener so it probably will be the tag 4 way

What I'd prefer?

Women's triple threat so I don't have to stew over the result. Yep, I'm selfish :pac:

It'll probably be the tag team match or Roman/Drew though.

I'll be honest I don't know if I can do 5 hour main show let alone the 7 hours with the pre show.

Which fatal for way?

Read that quickly as Kurt Cobain. Now that would be a big surprise.

I'd say it could be the women's tag. That way the women bookend the show and gives Nattie time to get backstage and get ready for the HoF segment

Same. Will need a fair amount of coffee. Trying to go for a power nap but can't sleep.

1st pre show match normally starts at 10:30

Necro

Got my power nap in thankfully, just waiting on takeaway now. Should be able to blast through until show finish now.... probably.

It'll be a slog to get through 7 hours, I wish you good luck..

I on the other hand, am gonna be finishing off university assignments until right before midnight... Yet here I am procrastinating instead of finishing off said assignments :pac:

Keep thinking about this and how things might have been different for Kofi but for Orton's hissy fit.



Glad he's getting his shot tonight but this kinda derailed him the last time he had a real top tier feud and he got stuck in the midcard mire as a result.

One of the reasons I quite dislike Orton actually.

CastorTroy

What happened that time? I remember hearing before but can't remember now.

He landed wrong on Ortons dodgy shoulder

It was an over the top reaction by Randy, a mistake by Kofi, and the demotion on the card was too harsh, nobody came out better for it

Mr_Man2121

Preshow has started

Necro

Fooking Sam Roberts. Seriously how does this douche have a job.

J. Marston

2 hours of Sam Roberts.

Suffering Christ...

Diabhal Beag

Sam Roberts is hard on the eyes and has an even more grating voice.

Necro

Doing a good job of having me switch over entirely till 12.

But should be able to deal with it presuming there's a few matches on the preshow.

I thought it was because Randy was trying to introduce the punt kick when he was a heel and Kofi wouldn't or forgot to get into position for it.

Orton kept trying to get him posistion for it and Kofi wouldn't stay in the posistion so Orton had no choice but to give him the RKO

Could well be, he does seem to react right after the move as opposed to before it, could be a bit of both

If you look at almost every rko in recent years, the person taking it lands well away from Randy unlike Kofi who came down on his shoulder in that gif

Just mute the pre-show, that way you won't have to listen to Sam Roberts.

Simples :pac:

J. Marston

Even Paige seems like she doesn't like him.

ThePott

4 matches on the pre-show, maybe it won't be as interminable as I thought.

B.A._Baracus

So Orton basically jobbed out Kofi politically cause of his shoulder fear. He also got Kennedy fired years ago. Doesn't come off as a nice bloke, does he?

Officer999

Apparently it's Orton and Styles opening the main show

Sirsok

I love Big E so much.

He's a horrible C U Next Tuesday imo.

DrumSteve

They are so ****in good.

I still see Bryan going over.

B.A._Baracus

Necro wrote: »

I would agree. I know, I know I never met the man. Just from what I have heard of him and seen him in interviews outside of WWE he does come off as a dick.

A rich dick of course.

ThePott

Are the wrestlers entering mid-ramp?

Seems like Nese and Murphy just literally appeared out of nowhere.

DrumSteve

Yeah and why did the champ go first

It was because he didn't get in position for the punt kick. He's an arsehole, plenty of info online about his antics. A complete bully

Necro

Both these guys are pretty big for cruiserweights... seems like we're gonna get the promos through the matches. Kinda stupid.

RollieFingers

The promo during the match is so unnecessary

That's just cause they don't want preshow matches to have big long entrances. Save that for the main show.
Also saves time.

ThePott

DrumSteve wrote: »

God I hope that isn't going to be the case for the whole night.
Really anticlimactic entrances if they just appear in the middle of the ramp.


I think in kayfabe the idea is that the champion gets to decide who goes out first but that might just be how they save face.

Saves time on the pre-show but they have 2 hours to kill ffs

Nah, I think BA summed it up nicely. Makes sense for the pre-show not to have huge entrances.

Although I suspect Braun will get the full shebang for the Battle Royale.

J. Marston

The cruiserweight division does absolutely nothing for me.

gerrybbadd

I see Kane-N-Ite front and centre there in the front row
