My only problem with the WWE Board at the moment is that the majority people are not using their words in the sense that it comes across as an opinion, but instead fact. So when people get bitchy about them trying to say that everything that comes out of their mouth is a word of god, they throw the "I have the right to express my opinion card"

I think people need to look at the bigger picture for this years Wrestlemania.

The production was fantastic, maybe the best they've had. The match quality wasn't always up there but there's more to match quality in wrestling to produce a good show, I know that might not go over with the indy fans but it's true.

Lawler vs Cole should have just been several minutes of Lawler beating the holy hell out of Cole, not what actually happened. It dragged on and got boring. Miz vs Cena suffered from Jericho vs HHH syndrome from Mania 18. They couldn't follow Rock vs Hogan and these guys couldn't follow Taker vs HHH. The crowd was dead after that match.

If we're going to throw ratings around I'd say it's better than 22,23,25, and maybe even 26. From my stand point at least. Taker vs Hunter told the best story of the night while Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio had the best match quality of the night. I really think this mania needed a MITB to kick off the show, it just seemed like mania was lacking a modern tradition.

match quality it still wasn't any better than 22, 23, 25, or 26. maybe close to 26 and 25, but i haven't seen all of those. booking wise this was probably the most idiotic wrestlemania of all time.


the production was phenomenal. absolutely amazing and i guess that is what is most important when we're talking about WWE. i do not watch wrestling for production value.

I haven't watched WM 27 in its entirety yet, but from what I have seen, the match quality doesn't even come close to previous years.

I didn't order the show because of what I thought was a pi$$ poor build-up, and thus, I have no reason to be annoyed or upset. The way I see it is WWE are taking an entirely new direction - shifting the main focus from 'wrestling' to (family friendly) 'entertainment' - and that was evident in WM this year.

I'm not outraged by the way they are ostracizing older wrestling fans. It is good business sense to tailor your product to the current ADD generation - a much much more profitable demographic. WWE have come to terms with the fact that older wrestling fans are growing up, getting mortgages, having kids and what not, meaning they have less disposable income. They are smart, unlike another major promotion who relies too heavily on the nostalgia factor.

It feels good knowing there are other companies that still cater to older wrestling fans who will be getting my money instead.

when did ROH lose their HDNet deal? and i assume they're not goin to another network

[Almost Like Flacco]

Quick question. A few years ago, I downloaded a video from The MV Zone I think it was called, it was an ROH tribute video that used the song "Paperthin Hymn" by Anberlin. I've been trying to find that video again, anyone know where I can find it?

That's a shame, he seemed like the perfect person to give the belt to. I say give it to Aries if he's not going to ROH any time soon.

Better than Dean Ambrose anyway.

I actually loved the name Jon Moxley.

Michael Cole on Raw: "I heard it may take three or four days to get Del Rio's car repaired at the Brisco's Body Shop"

Jay Briscoe via twitter: "We got a lot of work to do to Del Rio's car #IWantWrestling"

King's looking fantastic. Bryce is looking like Claudio's little brother.

[mck]

Yeah Kevin Steen slimmed down some too.

Finally got an watched the Wrestling Road Diaries. Great way to spend 2 and half hours. Anybody got a especially favorite moment?

Gotta love Colt as Van Hammer on the bonus disc. Don't want to spoil it too much, but it is hilarious.

[B.D. & El G.]

Hey guys, I'm a little behind on my ROH stuff, but when exactly did they start using the word "superstar"?
