Posted April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597095 Ok, so last night I didn't get much sleep because I kept dreaming I was sleeping through the show. In my dream, I woke up and it was already time for the main events but of course I kept falling asleep before a match started so I couldn't recap my thoughts and I never heard the Yes chants to end the show. Nightmare. Anyway, I am amped for the show. The network hype has worked. The shall of Fame felt special. The buildup has been unbelievable. Bryan's journey has me feeling all tender inside. With that said, I am not feeling good about the card from a match quality standpoint. Pre-Match: The Usos vs. Real Americans vs. Los Matadores vs. Ryback & Axel (My wish is that the Real Americans break up and they have Cesaro vs. Swagger in a special attraction match on the show. I can dream.) Andre the Giant Battle Royal Vickie Guerrero Divas Invitational The Shield vs. Kane & Outlaws John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar HHH vs. Daniel Bryan Batista vs. Randy Orton vs. ???
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597099 this show can't end any other way other than a combination of Foley, Hogan, Austin and Rock carrying Bryan on his shoulders while leading the crowd in a YES chant, can it? While Stephanie and Hunter are screaming and crying up the ramp. after tonight I fully expect a clique run in during Bryan/HHH. Well everyone but Hall. I'm sure Shawn and Waltman would love to bump around big time for Bryan. Hell I bet Nash would also. I actually want to see that. And I expect it will go down In many ways I can't believe this show is here after months of frustration. I guess it was all worth it if they give us the right ending
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597101 Speaking of dreams, I dreamt last week that I missed the show. Bryan won, and there was the expected YES! chants. More importantly, Lesnar beat the Streak in that dream. I wouldn't bet a dime on it, but that's going to stay in the back of my mind all day.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597111 For the first time in over 25 years I took a leave of absence from wrestling about a month back. This coming from a guy that watched every episode of every WWE, WCW, TNA, ROH, etc. etc. TV show(s) and every pay-per-view, etc. That being said, I'm quite looking forward to tonight, watching it at a friend's new house so should be a lively atmosphere and the card looks fun from my perspective. The 9+ hrs. of wrestling TV weekly and a lot of the match results seeming meaningless had me concentrating on my other hobby (movies) but leaves me feeling rejuvenated for the big show tonight. They've got an opportunity to have a feel good moment on par with Eddy and Benoit closing down WM over a decade ago. Nothing personal toward Undertaker, an absolute legend, but hoping Lesnar doesn't hold back his typically intense offense too much for the old man. Been away from the 'net but anyone waging guesses Punk being part of the battle royal or is likely a longshot? Maybe Sting will come out in point the bat at 'Taker. Ok enough rambling -- enjoy the show tonight, gang!
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597121 I recall last year having problems with timing and they only had eight matches, so I wouldn't underestimate their ability to completely fuck up timing. Looking at the WM29 card now and jesus, no match before Undertaker/Punk went longer than ten and a half minutes?
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597124 One time I was dreaming that I was late to work. In my dream I woke up and realized I wasn't late to work and it was just a dream. And then I woke up for real and I WAS late for work. It was disorienting. I hadn't really been thinking too much about WrestleMania but I'm going to try and get myself hyped up for the show. I'm going to watch some of those WrestleMania Today shows on the Network and see if that doesn't get me a little more excited. I don't think the build has been interesting at all, but I think Brock vs Taker should be good. I'm really interested to see what happens with Daniel Bryan and I still think the Andre the Giant battle royal could be fun. Don't like the Cena/Wyatt feud although I think that match will surprise some people with how good it will be. I DO think that the Shield being stuck with the Outlaws is fucking ridiculous though. I think debuting the Ascension as guys Kane hired to help him would have been a lot better idea and would have not made this result SO obvious.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597125 I suspect that match is going to be fanfic for Kane/Outlaws haters. Dave even thinks Ziggler has a chance of winning the battle royal simply because they are already expecting this crowd to be very into him.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597130 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.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597139 I just realized who I actually want to win the battle royal... Make it happen, guys.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597141 I will. If the live stream has issues then I'll just do something else and watch it later though. I'll be up all night to keep the delicate night shift sleep schedule for work Monday and I'm not really a "HAVE TO WATCH IT NOW!" person. I'd rather watch it in high quality than watch it sputter all night if they have issues.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597149 The WrestleManias I have always been the most excited about were the ones that seemed to be ushering in a new top star. This is Daniel Bryan's night for that! So psyched.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597152 How is Xbox working as a platform for the network at this point? Can't decide whether or not to bother with it, or just watch on my computer.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597158 Tentative plan is to set up the Xbox, see how it works, but have the computer/ipad on hand at all times.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597159 I'm on shift at the fire house, so if I'm not out on a call I might try to check some. I'm not worrying about the feed too much though, if it works it works, if not I'll just check it out in the Vault sometime later.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597162 The WrestleManias I have always been the most excited about were the ones that seemed to be ushering in a new top star. This is Daniel Bryan's night for that! So psyched. Exactly how I feel.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597164 Meltzer suggested that The Shield v. Authority end of the show prediction I made on the P2B podcast may become a reality. Also I got a bizarre text from one of my usual "sources" (I hate the term,but don't know what else to use) that there will be a surprise finish to the Taker v. Brock match....
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597165 Sting costing Undertaker the streak? Can't see what the 'surprise' would be other than Taker losing.
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597167 I wouldn't be surprised if that is a bullshit leak by the WWE. On the other hand Brock beating Taker actually does make sense if the plan is to build to Brock v. Bryan at Summerslam as some have suggested
April 6, 201411 yr comment_5597170 I wouldn't be surprised if that is a bullshit leak by the WWE. On the other hand Brock beating Taker actually does make sense if the plan is to build to Brock v. Bryan at Summerslam as some have suggested I wouldn't mind that at all, as I'm in the minority and really don't care much about the streak. However, I hope they din't Eddie/Benoit this with Bryan and get the belt off of him as quick as they can just to give it to a bigger guy.
