Angelfire eh? Check your posts after you post them sir. I have no idea what that was supposed to be. It shows up fine here. But there's no need in fixing it now, it Mongo, which I see has been covered already It shows up fine for you because the image is now cached in your computer's temporary files. Images from Angelfire aren't embeddable; everyone else just gets their logo.

Anyone got any particular Sting facts going into WrestleMania 31? Okay...fair enough. Tomorrow night, when Sting wrestles Triple H, he will join a very small list of people: Mr.T, the NFL players, Lawrence Taylor, Floyd Mayweather, Vickie Guerrero, Michael Cole, Snooki, Fandango, and Big E Langston as people to have their first ever WWE match at Wrestlemania. (Not sure if it's a full list...if more add them.) If the match is the main event, Sting will join Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, Ted DiBiase, Sgt. Slaughter, Ric Flair, Yokozuna, Lawrence Taylor and Brock Lesnar as people who marked their Wrestlemania debut in the main event.

Anyone got any particular Sting facts going into WrestleMania 31? He's the final remaining WCW Champion to appear at WrestleMania. 19 of the other 21 champs wrestled at least one match at a WM, David Arquette was a special audience member at WM21, and Vince Russo's fingerprints were all over WM15.

So far, 2015 is the only year Sting hasn't wrestled a match since he made his wrestling debut.

Any WrestleMania facts on Cena vs Rusev or Rollins vs Orton? Cena/Rusev is the 4th United States Championship match at WrestleMania, the first since WM23. John Cena will be challenging for the US Title for the second time at WM, the first was WM20. John Cena is only the second man to challenge for a midcard title at 2 different WrestleManias (the first was Ken Shamrock).

I love knowing facts like these heading into PPVs.

I love knowing facts like these heading into PPVs. Orton has only won four wrestlemania matches, his last lost came to the Shield last year plus his last win at Wrestlemania was against CM Punk Cena also would be getting a shot to gain the first singles title he ever won in WWE

if Reigns wins the title tonight, he will be the ninth man to have his first WWE/WHC title win at WM. The others are Savage, Warrior, Yokozuna, HBK, Austin, Cena, Batista and Mysterio.
EDIT
Still holds true, but with Rollins instead of Reigns.

John Cena won the U.S. title at his first and last (to date) Wrestlemania.

Depends on how you view Austin's win in 2001. Yes, he was a face going into the match, but he sure as hell walked out a heel. Now, did he turn post-match or in-match, that's the burning question.

Due to the turn- and especially the fact that, in-arena, they didn't know Austin was a heel until the next night on Raw, makes it look like he turned post-match. Either way, in fairness to add to this one: By not winning last night, Roman Reigns joins King Kong Bundy, Nikita Koloff, and Brutus Beefcake as the only men in history to fight for the World Championship of a major American promotion in that promotion's biggest annual event (be it Wrestlemania, Starrcade, or Bound for Glory) and yet NEVER hold a World Championship.

If the pre-show counts then Daniel Bryan has wrestled for each one of the major WWE Championships at five straight Wrestlemanias.
27 (Pre-Show) Vs Sheamus -- US Title. 28 Vs Sheamus -- World Heavyweight Title. 29 W/Kane Vs Dolph Ziggler/Big E -- World Tag Titles. 30 Vs Randy Orton Vs Batista -- WWE Championship. 31 Vs R-Truth Vs Stardust Vs Dolph Ziggler Vs Dean Ambrose Vs Luke Harper Vs Bad News Barrett -- Intercontinental Title.
3 Wins, 1 Loss, 1 No Contest 3 times as a Challenger (27, 30, 31), twice as the defending champion (28, 29)
