Hahah yeah better to stick with the earlier games, just while we wait for the supposed huge improvement that will be SD V Raw 2.

[Uglybob]

i bought here comes the pain for a fiver and it is far far better.
playing james bond everything or nothing - i think it rivals goldeneye, its very good

[Sidders]

Two words to sum up WWE:

its dull

Oops sorry, am I trolling again?

[Uglybob]

i cant see wrestlemania.

i have sky digital but dont subscribe anymore cos its so flippin dear. I rang up to order this ppv and 15 quid plus a 1 quid booking telephone fee only to be told that it is only for subscribers. so they dont even want my 15 quid, they want me to pay for a subscription too. rewind last year and i saw wrestlemania perfectly ... cos i still subscribed and it was on sky sports 1. now they shunt it to box office and i cant get to see it.

so frig them - i went and bought a copy on ebay to be sent on monday morning. screw sky and their overcharging crap.

[DemonHorse]

Hell yeah, fight the power!

Sky are sooo dumb they'll put almost anything on Pay-Per-View and believe everyone will still pay for it.
Anyone remember the dismal failure that was F1 PPV channel? Didn't work seeing as ITV showed it at same time, probably better coverage too.

Still was better than ITV Digital's bright idea to show division 1 or 2 football on a PPV basis.

[Uglybob]

Perfect for trash as people who dont like it dont have to read on. Sunday for wrestling fans is Wrestlemania 21 and only a paltry 8 matches from last years big 11 matches. Last years seemed to have better matches and better feuds but anyway heres my choices.

Triple H vs Batista
Batista is on a high at the moment and it seems he has no chance in losing so that means that he will. It always seems that the person with momentum balls it up and Triple H will retain the title to upset all the fans. Triple H has had horrible luck in previous manias like losing to benoit last year, being one of undertakers 12 victims and losing within 2 minutes to Ultimate Warrior in 1996. I know ive overlooked that he won undisputed championship from Jericho but that was because he was a face.

JBL vs John Cena
John Cena will win, purely to plug his rap cd and his acting leading role debut. JBL has had the title since July 04 and its time for him to drop it. He is deeply unpopular, even more so than Triple H and there is always a good guy winning a title at Mania overcoming the odds - expect JBL's stooges to interfere but Cena to hang on and win it.

Trish Stratus vs Christy Hemme
Couldnt give a rats ass but Trish will win and Christy will end up with her bare ass showing probably to plug the playboy magazine.

Akebono vs Big Show
Another non-event for me - nobody really knows what will happen and does anyone care. Big Show will probably win.

Randy Orton vs Undertaker
History dictates that Undertaker has wrestled in 12 Manias and its 12 wins to none. At the very start I was going for Orton to do an upset but in the past few weeks, its become very obvious that the Undertaker will notch up another win but they will push Orton to not be afraid of him and not be put in a squash match like Kane last year.

Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle
Possibly the last PPV to feature Angle because his neck is getting gradually worse. Michaels is Mr Wrestlemania. This match will overshadow every match on the card. Both are technically gifted wrestlers and the two best on the microphone probably at the moment.

Money in the Bag Ladder Match (Briefcase suspended above the ring and whoever gets briefcase has a Championship match guaranteed any time any place in the next 12 months)
Kane vs Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit vs Shelton Benjamin vs Christian vs Edge

Edge will win, he has never had a Championship match at a PPV ever. Benoit is in there to keep the match going a long time. Kane for the powerhouse cleaning the place up, Jericho and Christian good ladder match specialists but dont seem ready to step up according to management. Shelton Benjamin is in a no lose situation, he can showcase his talent but is too green yet and is still Intercontinental Champion so has to lose it before he challenges.

Eddie Guerreo vs Rey Mysterio
The card opener most likely as no titles are on the line and both are friends who decided to fight each other for some friendly rivalry. Itll be a good fast match but noone really cares. Rey Mysterio will win because he is being groomed for champion.

Batista beat Triple H (incorrect)
John Cena beat JBL (correct)
Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner Edge (correct)
akebono beat big show (incorrect)
kurt angle beat shawn michaels (incorrect)
rey mysterio beat eddie guerreo (correct)
trish beat christy (correct)
undertaker beat randy orton (correct)

so i got 5/8

[Blazin Babe]

I like to watch wrestling sometimes, i think it's the best contact sport (if you don't include ice hockey lol). I'v noticed some quite good looking guys .. ahem..one in particular, don't know his name though.

[pip1984_2k]

Wrestlemania was a good show.
Few points about it and the WWE in general
1) Hulk Hogan and Eugene. Seeing as Hogan was one of Eugenes favourite wrestlers why didnt he get in the ring with him once Hulk cleared it. Would have liked to see them both "hulk up"

2) 30 Man battle royal. Would have been a good way to get more of the wrestlers on the show. Apparently it will be on the DVD.

3) 6-Man Ladder Match. Twas good, Shelton esp but would have preferred to see a Y2J and Shelton IC title match instead.

4)Does anyone care about Diva matches??

5) HBK and Kurt I believe are single handedly keeping the WWE together for die hard wrestling fans.

6) JBL is proberly one of the worst champions ever, along with Big Show and Yokazuna.

7) All the talent in the WWE and they have a sumo match. *sigh*

Only 3 title matches. The Tag team division is the weakest its ever been. Miss the days of the Hardys. Edge and Christian, even Billy and Chuck!

9) Divas. Now dont get me wrong, I like to look @ them but, surely we dont need bikini contests every week. No wonder less people are watching WWE now adays and are turning to the TNA.

[DemonHorse]

Especially not when every single blonde in the company looks EXACTLY THE SAME.....

I gotta get a cheap sky package so I can watch the Wrestling Channel me thinks... was watching FWA War on the Shore at a mates last night and very surprised when who puts in an appearance.........

Only........ Bloody....... RAVEN!


Also back to your point about Angle and Shawn Michaels.... it's a shame they both look set to retire within the next year really.

[pip1984_2k]

My mum has cancelled sky and so we still have the box but no subscription. But luckily TWC is part of the free line up. Which is cool.

Raven is a hardcore legend, they should get him back for the ECW PPV. (which isnt being shown in the UK)

[DemonHorse]

ECW PPV?? a WWE co-production?

Details please as if it gets DVD release I would love to pick it up.

[Uglybob]

june 12th - ecw ppv made by wwe.

jbl has been rubbish but he is good on the mic, cena is rubbish and his rapping is stale.

[Uglybob]

theyve just released matt hardy and rhyno

one less ecw person on the show then

[pip1984_2k]

I am so shocked about the MH.V1.0 release!
they could have moved him to Smackdown!

Another pointer that Vinnie Mc is losing the plot. Bring on the Steph and Shane era.

LMAO not sure about the outdoors bit, can get a lil cold and i'm not an exhibitionist....

[Uglybob]

molly holly released and another diva idol competition, think they are definitely not giving a damn about women wrestling, just t&a

[DemonHorse]

only victoria left that's not a dumb blonde then, seeing as Lita's out at the mo etc (and lets not get into that 1, eh bob?:P)

[Nicky]

Got back from LA a couple of days ago... Went to Wrestlemania while I was there :$

[Mafro]

Just hears that the WWE have released Rhyno and Matt Hardy, which is a shame, they were both really good and Matt has a fantastic entrance, doesn't compare to Booker T's entrance though.

[Nicky]

Bit harsh on Matt. Lita goes and cheats on him with Edge, and just to top off a great month, he gets fired. Charming.

[Mafro]

At least Hogans coming back though, hopefully with his classic Real American entrance music.

[Nicky]

I'd have preferred to see Marty partner HBK, and have Hogan do something else. But whatever, its still Hogan.

[DemonHorse]

I thought Marty Jannetty was returning to partner HBK again.... something I heard about Shawn Michaels wanting to end his career the way he started it.

[Uglybob]

marty is supposed to have impressed them when he came back to wrestle those couple of matches. at least it would beef up the tag team division
