Although the build up has left alot to be desired this year I think it's pretty decent card. 4 matches with the ability to steal the show and the potential for some shock results. Everyone hype?

I think we'll see a new Champion, but I don't think it's going to be Roman Reigns.

Tag Championship is on the pre show so I guess that frees time for another segment or even a MITB cash in at the end ?

I hope there are no problems with the WWE Network, the live stuff starts at 10pm so it will take a bit of stamina to last till the end

Is there any betting on this event?

Is there any betting on this event?

There usually is. http://www.oddschecker.com/tv/wwe

Just as there are on the 'decision made by people behind the scenes' things such as
jeremy clarkson's top gear replacement
the next james bond

And in scripted shows such as
Coronation Street
Eastenders

Buzzing for this after watching the first half of the HOF ceremony last night. Highlights were Alundra Blayze's acceptance speech and the speeches from Dana Warrior, Daniel Bryan and Connor the Crusher's dad for Connor receiving the Warrior Award. Watched the other half this morning and whilst it wasn't the most box office of stars going in, some great speeches!

Granted the build up could have been better, but the excitement factor is always high because it's Wrestlemania!! Soem of the programming on the Network in the run up has been great. Particularly enjoyed the Wrestlemania today programme from Axcess with Renee Young, Byron Saxton and Corey Graves.

AFAIK both the Tag titles match and the Battle Royal are on the pre-show. No doubt means some other matches have been given more time, or other segments planned for the event.

 

[Acker79]

It's on!

Well, the pre-show.

Cena's promo on jimmy kimmel is probably his best ever.

 

[Ernest]

How's everyone's Network holding up ? I'm getting a fair bit of buffering so far

 

[Acker79]

I watched the hall of fame with no issue. Had a couple of moments of the image freezing while the sound continued and had to restart the app on my xbox. Supposedly, if you start watching earlier, you have a greater chance of a solid stream.

 

[TomandJerry]

Isn't WWE fake/already planned out?

 

[Acker79]

Wow. It took as long as ten posts this time.

 

[Acker79]

If you have 25mins to spare, this is well worth your time:

Isn't WWE fake/already planned out?

No?!

 

[Frutos]

Isn't WWE fake/already planned out?

Isn't virtually every TV show?

 

[Acker79]

Getting quite a bit more buffering since just before the battle royal.

 

[Ernest]

Big Show booooo, wonder what the view is the like in the nose bleed seats ? Must be miles away from the ring

 

[Washie]

Is anybody else's network playing up?

 

[Ernest]

Is anybody else's network playing up?

Buffering a bit from time to time and picture quality isn't that brilliant either

 

[Acker79]

Is anybody else's network playing up?

Definitely having more issues than with the last two ppvs.

 

[Washie]

Daniel Bryan is Intercontinental champion, that means he has won every championship he can.
