bigtplaystew Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 <p>The HoF was a mixed bag. Lita went on way too long. The hornswoggle/el torito bit was awkward. and mr T's speech was just boring.</p><p> </p><p> But Warrior's speech was very good and surprisingly straight forward haha. The speech that stole the show had to be Jake's. WOW. The stuff that guy has been through... to see him just baring his soul like that. Really deeply moving, and in a dark way extremely inspirational. Really powerful stuff.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Jim Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 <p>Jake absolutely stole the show. I think most people expected his speech to be one of the best though.</p><p> </p><p> Mr T was bizarre, shame Scott Hall got such little time but I guess Triple H asked his buddy to help make up for everyone else running on. Not surprising to see Carlito still being a whiny so-and-so, if he's so sick of performing in bingo halls maybe don't take shots at a company that might've brought you back as part of "Operation Charm The WWC Library Out Of Carlos Colon" during their HOF show.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk is apparantly one of those wrestlers who forgets that it is the fans who made him a big name and the fans that ultimately makes his bank account swell; leaving a tv taping where the fans has paid to see him in action is absurdly disrespectful towards them and extremely unprofessional, and cannot be attributed to anyone but Punk himself.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wait, did he leave because he was tired/worn out or because he wanted to main event Wrestlemania? It couldn't possibly be both because unfortunately, if you're "the guy" who is wrestling in the main event of Wrestlemania and/or winning the WWE World Championship, you're naturally going to have the most hectic schedule.

Jaysin Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Jake's speech made me tear up. I had to turn it off after it, I'll finish it later, but there's just no way to watch more after that right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKenwyne Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Pop quiz for any Canadian GDSers - does the ON based Wild Wing chain usually show WWE PPVs? I would like to watch Mania but I would also like to get drunk and I can't do that at a crappy cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Anyone else watching on WWE Network via PS3 having issues? It keeps doing this thing where it jumps back a few seconds. I've tried restarting the app numerous times, but it's been doing it a lot throughout the whole show. Other than that, I can't really complain about the Network's first big stream. The show itself has been good. Didn't think Cena should have won, but hopefully the feud isn't over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I thought the Cena/Wyatt match was actually a really good psychological match. Sure, there weren't really any spots and nothing memorable in terms of action, but they told the story well. I don't think any match so far has been particularly memorable in the action stakes though; really disappointed The Shield match was just a squash. By the way, Cesaro getting his Wrestlemania moment made me literally jump up from my seat in elation. I actually had a feeling there would be a slam on the giant (Big Show) in recognition of Andre the Giant (since it was his memorial trophy and all that) but as I said in the prediction contest thingy, I thought it would be Sheamus. Really disappointed with the "mystery" three though, why didn't they just announce them? Oh, and where was Christian? I honestly can't decide if they're using the shoulder injury to Daniel Bryan as further fuel for the underdog status for ultimate payoff or if they're doing it so when he loses, it allows them to continue The Authority feud and continue Daniel in the 'can't quite get over the line' role. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
