I'm throwing a Wrestlemania party at my place with about 20 guests and I'm using the Network to stream it. Hopefully there won't be any streaming issues because that would suck balls. I'm the only person that's a wrestling fan out of all of my friends, but I figured Mania is a great excuse to have people over.
I'm planning for an all day affair much like a Superbowl party with tons of food and drinks. We're starting at 1pm with beerpong and other drinking games so everyone should be nice and liqured up for the 4pm bell time.
I know we still have 3 weeks away, but what do you have planned for Wrestlemania Sunday?

Much like last year I will spend the morning listening to wrestling podcasts such as PWTorch and ProWrestling.net while I make sure the event is ordered correctly and my favourite chair is positioned how I like it. I'll also need to decide if I'm using surround sound or headphones (it starts at midnight here so GF and Kids need forewarning)
I'll then force my family to accompany me to a store that sells American soda/candy where I will spend more than is necessary on Mountain Dew and Pepsi Throwback. Ill then get some beef Jerky from asda along worth some white peanut butter cups and jelly babies.
From early evening onwards I intend to be on here and twitter while watching Wrestlemania moments on the network.
Quick game of FIFA, bit of porn, then it's show time.
Finishes at 4 am and I have work at 8! I don't care though, it's mania and I take it seriously!
Edit: I'll then spend the Monday at work telling friends In looking and acting so tired because I was up all night "watching American sport"

I think we're just going to buy some food and invite a few people up to watch it with us. My fiancée hates wrestling, but is looking forward to this WrestleMania because of Daniel Bryan possibly winning the title. As bad as this story line has went at times, its got her invested enough to want to see the payoff.
I also plan on inviting my cousin who quit watching back when WCW ended. I'm not sure how he's going to react to the current product, but I'm guessing he's going to hate it.

I was going to try and have people at my place to watch it on the Network, but my best friend is going to another friend's house to watch it as it is per their tradition, so I guess I'll go to that one instead. Probably better off that way, I'm nervous about watching it streaming anyway.

I plan on stocking up on snacks and drinks, maybe buy a sub, and sit back and watch the madness unfold while I follow results online. Be it by Network issues, or booking ridiculousness, I'm sure it'll be an interesting night.

I'll be in Vegas hopefully doing something more exciting than watching wrestling, but I'll skim through it on the Network when I get back to the hotel at the end of the night.

My girlfriend is coming over and she will mark out to bray Wyatt (lucky me she knows what's good) and I will more than likely mark out to every entrance at wrestlemania 30 (dude I'm a wrestling fan, at the biggest event of the year) and ultimately will enjoy the show regardless.

I'll be watching on the Network but if it starts to screw up, I'll buy the ppv from Comcast as backup. This could potentially be the first ppv I watch on WWE Network or the last ppv I ever buy from a cable provider. Other than that, I'll probably be in the WrestleMania discussion board like I normally would for any WWE show.

I'm going to call in sick at work on the Monday and watch it Monday morning followed by RAW in the afternoon.
I thought about asking my one friend if he wanted to watch it with me and split the cost, but find it hard to watch wrestling with other people. I much prefer just watching it by myself with no distractions or concerns of anyone judging me while I watch it.

I'm not just watching WrestleMania ... I'm GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!!!!
*points at an invisible WM sign while imaginary fireworks shoot off*
My schedule looks like this:
4/4: Arrive in New Orleans. Once I get settled into my hotel, I'll try to find all the venues I'll need to go to during the weekend. Might check out the WrestleMania Superstore.
4/5: Axxess session in the afternoon, then the Hall of Fame ceremony.
4/6: Final Axxess session--I'm meeting Bruno Sammartino--then off to the Superdome for 'Mania.
4/7: This is when I'll have the best opportunity to explore the city, since I don't have anything scheduled until Raw that night.
4/8: I'm coming home, coming home.

Playing 2K14. I'll have more fun playing that than watching 30. They'll be more actual wrestling too

Honestly, I fail to see the point in inviting many casual non-fans round for this one. Nothing to me looks great for a non-fan. There's no fun hardcore match, there is no insane ladder match. Sure the Undertaker match looks great, they'll like Daniel Bryan/HHH and maybe Hogan...but is it worth sitting through a series of matches that won't mean that much to the non-fan...not really.
Wrestlemania will never involve the mainstream unless it can prove to be a truly fun and engaging three hours for everyone. Big names, sure. But also fun matches. Multi-man matches. Hardcore matches. Big moves/moments.
There's a lack of real mainstream lower-midcard/mid-card stars currently for the non-fans to get behind. At least I think so. My friends have drifted a long way from WWE now it seems. Which is kinda sad for me.
^ That's me trying to speak for the casual fans by the way, not for myself. I'll always try to enjoy Wrestlemania as its pro-wrestlings biggest show.

Doing a road trip to New Orleans for Wrestle Mania XXX with my boyfriend & two of our college friends. We'll be leaving LA on the 2nd! Planning to stop at the Grand Canyon & the Kennedy Museum along the way.

Will be watching it over at a friend's house. My friend's just as much a fan as I am, and he's the funniest guy I know outside of my immediate family. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with him. Wrestlemania XXX with him is going to be a huge blast.
