Fun spofest. I wanted a giant swing though edit: there it is

I just read Rock is supposedly involved in "something special" for Mania. Maybe they set up the Brock match that was supposed to take place this year?

Yeah, the only "surprise" I see them doing for Taker/Brock is Brock beating the shit out of the Deadman after losing the match and someone important making a surprise run in to save Taker.

I'm very pumped for this. Not only because I'm a huge D-Bry mark but I think they've done an awesome job on the Network hyping the show. All the legend being there is also a plus.

Man, I wish they would take a big ass picture with every talent there. I don't think we are ever gonna see so many legends in the same building again. If Terry Funk would've made the trip it would've been a wrap.

Got this from another forum. It may help people with lagging/quality issues for the live stream on PS3

Figured Sting would debut the night after Mania. Perfect crowd for him to get a huge reaction and not get a "who's this" from 1/3 of the crowd and not look like a big deal. I really hope they don't start building to a Taker match. PS: here's a link the video package I was talking about before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Fh_4Q7aio

I wasn't sure WWE was gonna top the fan made video package of the HHH/Bryan feud but holy shit, that "turning to a monster" promo they showed on Wrestlemania Today was fucking outstanding. WWE video packages have always been amazing but they've been on a tear lately.

Hmm, that might be your computer. I remember having the same issues (not so much with streaming sites, but it was almost impossible to watch online non-youtube videos) with my old laptop and they were gone once I bought a new one.

I loved the little piece they did on The Shield on Wrestlemania Today. Can't wait for part 2.

Him calling Cesaro a Dutchman was a nice touch too.

If the HOF ceremony is a bust, can WWE do anything to fix things for Sunday?

With Austin confirming his appearance, I wonder if they make him do something else than just a backstage cameo. I think he out pops D-Bry.

Yup, one of Masked Man's finest pieces

via wrestlinginc Well I'll be damned. Any chance is the complete library or at least a big part of it?

Read a Ted DiBiase Jr. interview on wrestlinginc and found this very interesting I doubt they actually went 40+ minutes but I'd love to see that match. Always thought Teddy and D-Bry had enough talent to put on a great match but it never really happened - Bryan wasn't very over at the time of that horrible Bella's angle and Teddy was just a blackhole of heat - I wonder if there's a youtube handheld floating around...

I don't know but I'm glad I didn't get to watch and listen another "this is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque" kinda promo.

I agree with this. Hunter demeanor towards Bryan changed a lot after the Rumble. He went full heel, showed ass, put D-Bry over in promos, has bumped like a madman for him. He's clearly trying to prove a point imo.

Yup, I also think they gonna go HHH/Bryan - Triple Threat back to back. They've trusted Bryan's cardio plenty of times on RAW so they know the guy can go 40-50 minutes and not miss a bit so I'm pretty sure they are trust him on the regard so they can tell the underdog story of being to injured and tired to win the title.

The HHH video was fucking outstanding. Like I said last week, the fear in the 70,000 people in the Superdome once Hunter hits that pedigree will be tremendous, and the pop Bryan will get when he kicks out is gonna be amazing. I know most of this board hates HHH (I find him overrated but not THAT bad) but I'm amazed how little faith some of you guys have on his match against Bryan. The crowd will be red hot, D-Bry knows how to work as a face in peril and how to mount a comeback, and you can bet your ass he's gonna pull all the stops to have a Wrestlemania classic. Hunter might be mediocre in most long matches but he works way better as a heel and you can tell he wants to elevate Bryan. At the very least I think they'll have a very good match. PS: I'm gonna need a link for that Bryan promo on the Network

LMAO my bad. And here I was all exited to hear a new podcast. Google Wrestling = Ho Kogan

Kinda surprised 26 wasn't a consensus great show. It may not have had a real classic (though some consider Michaels vs Taker II to be one) but overall it was the last real great show they've put for their biggest show. It's definitely up there in the top 8-7 for me. Also, kinda off topic. Is the "Google Wrestling" podcast with Rob Naylor and Will coming soon? It was a nice surprise hearing Naylor promote the show during the break.

What did he say about the booking?

So are there any real chances of things going smoothly for Wrestlemania? It seems people are still having problems with the live stream and at this point I don't know if WWE can do anything to avoid problems even if they have a good estimate of how many people will watch Mania live.
