Vince also hired Bryan Danielson, so by that metric, he is a Vince guy too.

people should just let a wwe wrestlemania thread for two nights get 1 or 2 pages just from the few people that want to talk about until they stop posting in it than coming in and boosting the thread imo

I dunno. Like the Superbowl for TFF, we get a lot of spill over and random posters for Wrestlemania. Maybe we can gently talk about AEW in here, too, and get them to watch that too?

WWWA World Champion for about 6 weeks shy of 3 years, wrestled for both biggest American companies in the '90s, amazing look with the face paint & hair (god the hair was so cool). So much charisma, great character, absolutely masterful wrestelr. And then once she retired from wrestling she went on to become a pro golfer. I've no idea how good she was, but it's a fun factoid. Her & Aja Kong vs Hokuto & Kandori at Wrestling Queendom 1994 ruled so much. The brutal cagematch with Aja at Wrestlemarinepiad '90.

Looking over the Hall of Fame class for the first time, glad to see people like Thunderbolt Patterson and US Express not relegated to legacy inductees or whatever the hell they called the people that were quickly shown in a minute montage.

Although Heyman being inducted by Reigns is going to be way too much "character work" for the HOF. Hopefully Rock inducting his grandmother is just one line.

Surprised not to see any ECW wrestlers being inducted but I'm guessing if they do induct any more it will be after they are dead so that they can't say anything to get in hot water.

New Jack should have gone in. Heyman has been giving some very heartfelt interviews so I expect his speech to be good

Just reading the Observer recap of Smackdown and I'm really glad that this was made clear

quote:

Owens eventually welcomed everyone into "a special edition of The Kevin Owens Show." Randy Orton was officially introduced and out, Orton walked. The two sat in separate chairs and Owens outlined their Wrestlemania match

I kept reading and there was ALSO a separate Logan Paul segment later in the show. The battle royal was only 10 minutes but they had two different interview segments dedicated to the Owens/Orton/Paul match....

A loud murmur from the crowd when the Undertaker is mentioned and they realize it's going to be a 20 minute TED talk for him again.

Yeah, I guess them doing Heyman first was so that the crowd wouldn't poo poo on the rest of the show with ECW chants but I would imagine a good portion of them are just leaving now.

I don’t have the energy to keep up with WWE these days, but will always try for the big 4 and… hm well I sure hope the packages sell me on the two headline matches looking like the same with but with half the amount of guys on one night.

Always got that hope in me they pull it out just like 30 again, but I’m not sure that’s possible on a 2 night event.

I normally check in but I can't do it this year. I always knew the company was an outlet for an old men's fetish but just how much of it was and willingly really turned me off even wanting to check it out. It will probably be the best one in a bit and also bland and tasteless.
