Fascinating game between PSG and City. Wolfsburg result a bit of a shock. All they have to do is score once at the Bernabeu and Real have to score 4 to go through.

World is a difficult one. Difficult to compare what the likes of Ivelisse and Cheerleader Melissa do to what is done in WWE. But within the realms of the WWE - in-ring it's probably Sasha, total package is probably Bayley.

Probably not when we've all had a chance to calm down and reflect back properly. It will still go down as one of the worst booked 'Mania's of all-time but the actual in-ring quality was pretty good for the most part which will save it.
Last night though? It certainly felt like it. It's the least fun I've ever had watching a WrestleMania. I went from disappointment to outright anger to sadness and then down to "just end this f***ing show so I can go home please".

I didn't watch the pre-show (always go to a bar to watch 'Mania so only get the main show) but I was never bored until Shane/Taker. Granted I was very unhappy and not enjoying the show at all but technically I wasn't bored. Whatever the match before Shane/Taker was really must have pissed me off though because I paid very little attention to Shane/Taker and then had a bit of a lie down (yes, in a bar) during the main event. The Women's Championship was right before Shane/Taker. Sounds about right, that must have been the straw that broke the camel's back because the match was so good and the finish was so nonsensical.

Does this bar have couches? Or did you just curl up in a ball on the floor? They were sort of like cushioned benches. A lot of people went home after The Rock's segment so it left a lot of extra space and I just stretched out. But if they hadn't I'd have probably curled up in a ball.

Only criticism I can make is that it felt like a Sami Zayn match because he did amazing things whilst Shinsuke did a lot of kicking and knees, things that so many others do. Must say I don't get this at all. When I was watching that match I was thinking "this is the most un-WWE match I've seeen in WWE in a long time" because it was very much your typical Shinsuke, New Japan match. I don't see how it was a Sami match. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Shinsuke carried him or anything but it was very much a Shinsuke match.

So? Are you trying to say people are stupid because they like something that wouldn't appeal to a mainstream audience? That's like creating a thread saying a film didn't gross well worldwide so anybody who enjoyed watching it is an idiot. Seems like a pointless thread.

I was looking forward to Match of the Day considering the amount of goals scored today. And then I saw Shearer was on it and the disappointment descended. Then I saw Ian Wright on it too and my piss was brought to a boil. At least that means no f***ing Lawrenson.

Anyone else watching El Clasico? So boring I've given up at half-time, cue a five goal thriller now. I was actually just reading your comment as Pique gave Barca the lead.

Newcastle being so shit that it forces me to cheer on an Alan Pardew team AND Sunderland in consecutive weeks. Sickening.
I remember the last time I felt this sick after a football match - versus Villa (the relegation match). I'd say that doesn't bode well but I guess the table says that for me.

I'd be interested to hear how 'Mania will top Takeover now even after that lacklustre main event.

Well, it's 2:25am over here and I still haven't managed to go to sleep. At this point, I may as well try to catch Takeover although I will switch off if I get too tired. I've tried watching wrestling in the past when knackered and it just ruins my enjoyment. Either way though, I'm sure this show is gonna be awesome whether I watch it tonight, tomorrow or a combination of the two.

Rick Knox in PWG, several times, usually when The Young Bucks are around. Though I'm sure that's merely coincidental.

I've always liked HHH so I have no problem main eventing a 'Mania in 2016 with the caveat that he has to put over the young guy he's going against. At this point in time I don't mind seeing him main event or hold the top title but it has to be part of a bigger plan to put over the next generation so they no longer have to rely on HHH as an attraction and he can just be used sparingly to add to a card rather than being the main draw - after all he's not got that long left.
Thankfully this does seem to be the plan.
Unfortunately, however, the plan is to put over a guy I don't like. So against all my logical senses, come Sunday, I will be cheering on Triple H.

Everyone thought WM30 was going to be a bust? In what universe? Pretty much to a person on this forum everyone thought 'Mania XXX was going to be great. Sure we were all a little apprehensive that they were going to pull the rug from under Bryan again but it was one of the most anticipated WrestleMania's in years.
Not to mention as much as I thought 'Mania 31 was a decent show - and it was - if you take away the final five minutes the show would have been roundly slated. And I know taking away the ending of any show is probably going to hurt it but seriously, if Roman goes over Brock and there's no cash-in that 'Mania is much less well received.
'Mania 32 needs to massively exceed expectations and NXT needs to massively underwhelm for this guys prediction to end up being true. Not one or the other, both need to happen.

ABC - Anyone But Charlotte. Same approach I had before the NXT Four-Way for the belt when Charlotte was Champion. Becky's my favourite but I think Sasha is probably the best all-round performer. So really either of them would be great.
