oh i know. i like snoop. i know the wwe has a celebrity wing. i know sports entertainment is fake. it still annoys me.

the only good thing about wwe ruining the product is that i've gotten a great history on how wrestling used to be as i'd rather watch crappy footage from the 70s and 80s than the current product.

Me too. This Wrestlemania looks like crap. HHH-Reigns part 9000. Lesnar feuding with Ambrose even though it made a million times more sense to have him feud with the Wyatt Family. Taker vs. Shane. Ugh.

i heard about shane coming back but wasn't till tonight i saw the clip when he returned. i have to admit, i enjoyed hearing the music, "shane o'mac" appearing on the screen, him/his persona and his critiques. but at the same time, i'm not sure i would want to see him fight the undertaker. plus, i can't take his critiques seriously since wwe hasn't shown a willingness to change its approach in the last 10 years or so.

is anyone watching wrestlemania?

I'm at the Royals game but I'll watch after.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Well I've been trying to watch but every time I pressed watch from start it would take me to live. I spoiled myself to find out what happened. Sounds like this is still a company in denial.

And apparently the crowd booed their asses off after Reigns won.

im reading blurbs about it this morning. i've read that they (wwe) overshot the attendance record but who knows. i see they changed the divas championship to just womens championship and i think are calling them superstars now. i hadn't seen the butterfly belt before but that was awful. this new one is definitely nicer.

austin, cactus jack and hbk came back so that was kinda cool. i still get chills when i hear the glass shatter (and cactus jacks music too...sorta on hbk). im pretty sure i saw austin flashing some birds while doing the stunners. i dont know anything about that new day group but looks like they had a funny entrance. and speaking of entrances, i saw stills of HHH/stephanie and gosh, that looked so silly.

i have respect for taker, of course and shane (again he does a high risk move) but its kind of an odd match, if you ask me. but i really dont follow the plotlines much anymore.

i also have read that reigns was getting booed the whole time and HHH was getting the cheers, hah. also heard that wwe network was chopping the boo audio off during broadcast.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Yeah they cut the booing off the broadcast and piped in audio of the fireworks going off outside the stadium.

The women's championship is the old belt being brought out of retirement. Like you said, the Divas (butterfly) belt is ridiculous. Same for the U.S. Championship, they both look cartoonish. The women may be the best thing going right now, especially Charlotte, Becky and Sasha.

New Day is really fun. I hated seeing Rock and Cena bury the Wyatt Family. They could be good heels.

Raw after Wrestlemania is usually a must watch, I'm not as pumped this time. There could be a notable exception. Vince only said Shane had to have a match with the Undertaker, he never said he had to win.

This is only kinda related but its hilarious. Jim Ross is awesome.
