WWE Wrestlemania 38 the Mania of Wrestling

[strobogo]

How in the fuck has WWE managed to have multiple celeb matches with celeb performers that are actually great two WMs in a row

[KawadaSmile]

Absolute chaos. Five stars all the way.

Its amazing to think they didn't lean into the Jackass crossover 20 years ago. 

I remember they were planning to at a SummerSlam or something. I can't remember why it never happened.

I think it was Knoxville or SteveO were zooted and no sold Umaga or something and the thing got scrapped

You're right.  As soon as you mentioned that it rang a bell.  First thing I came across -- https://wrestletalk.com/features/story-jackass-summerslam-match-didnt-happen/

Sami and KO - Jobbers to the Stars D-Listers.

[Strummer]

Yes the Jackass guys were supposed to work Summerslam 2007 but backed out after the Benoit tragedy.

RESPECTFUL HOURS BAYBEEEEEEEE

 

LET'S GO SASHA AND NAOMI

[strobogo]

Depending on how Theory/Pat, AJ/Edge, and Roman/Brock go, this might have a legit claim to GOAT WM if you count both nights as one event.

So glad KO and Sami re-signed their contracts so that they could entertain us with bullshit like that

Yes, completely unironically. Both were involved in wonderful things this weekend that they couldn't get to do anywhere else.

I am still cackling at some of the fuckery that went on that match. Pat and Cole having the time of their lives certainly enhanced things.

[KawadaSmile]

Liv and Rhea being goth/altcore girlfriends is some stuff

[jiraffejustin]

This Carmella Eyes Without a Face mask is certainly a something. 

[strobogo]

You know I don't think I've ever seen a smaller competitor just jump and engage in the test of strength instead of either a straight lock up or the bigger competitor switching hands

[KawadaSmile]

This overdelivered, bubbas.

Holy shit.

You think it's only in WWE that you can make a mockery of pro-wrestling by jobbing to untrained wrestlers who are laughing their asses off?

In front of 70,000 people who are loving every second of it, yes.

[jiraffejustin]

I have the volume off and was away from the screen, why is AJ bleeding already?

[WingedEagle]

AJ bladed a touch early.

[jiraffejustin]

I turned the volume back on and heard Corey Graves call Edge his infernal majesty or something like that and yeeted the volume back off in a hurry. 

[KawadaSmile]

They had the decency of not going straight to a lock-up. Good.

[sek69]

Edge's new gimmick is like HHH and Malaki Black had a weird baby.

[WingedEagle]

This is really disappointing thus far.
