Who's gonna open night 1?

My guess is either Rhea/Becky or the LWO v LDF match.

Sounded like on the Paul show he is moving away from the G rating shows they did for the past decade or so. Could get a bloodbath from Cody.

He talked a little about blood today. Basically saying that in the AE they abused it and when they do use it he wants it to mean something.

Cody is definitely bleeding lol

Given Mark did the Dusty bladejob night last, curious if Cody does it tonight.  As far as I can recall he never actually did this style of blading himself.  Dustin has done it several times, most notably in his match against Cody, but do not ever remember Cody ever doing it since people usually get stitches after and it tends to leave scars.  Think Eddie was the last person to do it in WWE, and well, people know how that went.

The match order was posted last week. It's not officially official but it's pretty much expected to be correct. If you go to the Wrestlemania XL wikipedia page it has the matches for both nights listed in order.

I’m going to miss the first hour tonight because I have too much money on the line in NC State beating Purdue so hopefully:

1: NC State wins, most importantly.
2: The USO vs USO match doesn’t open up the night because I really want to watch that.
3: The 6 pack tag match doesn’t open up the night because I really want to watch that too.


Hopefully tonight is a great night for me and I get all 3.

Rumour has it Becky vs Rhea is opening and the Uso battle will be later in the night, like the 4th or 5th match.

Sweet, I appreciate it man.

Show I was hyped for was last night, but always excited to see the Rock in the ring, and that ladder match looks like a clusterfuck waiting to happen. Curious what they do, as not many people in the match are known for flying, but many are crazy enough to throw out shit regardless. Also love the double winner stipulation and am curious to see how they set things up.

Tommorow much for hyped for as Roman Reigns will finish the story!!!

Edit:

Forgot Jade was on this show.  Really look forward to seeing what she looks like now in the ring with all the extra training.

I'm going to be with your family tonight RT , not watching wrestling.   I'm watching Night 2 at my brothers' place, but 2 night Mania's are tough. Mania weekends were crazy busy when I used to buy the travel packages 15+ Manias ago. I can't imagine how they are now. They used to break it up with fan signings, HoF, etc but now...that's a lot of rasslin' in one sitting. I'll watch when I get home tonight ahead of tomorrow's show. 

I'll echo jTjohncenaGOAT 's thought in that I can't remember a WM in recent memory I've been more exited to see the outcomes for. I think for me it's because of The Rock and HHH and with Vince (and a few of his cronies) being gone that I want to see where they are taking things. The RAW after Mania used to be a big deal but in the past decade it's been meh, so I'm really hoping they go back to making it a big deal again. I think sky is the limit for the Women's Division again. I'm excited for the first time in a long time to see where WWE will go.

I will acknowledge Roman Reigns in the greatest way possible, if, wait...when he retains his title I shall change my username to The Tribal Chief ☝🏼☝🏼.


(Or Cody Cry Baby)

@ccb just getting a good seat in line.

Dudes. I’ve been watching wrestling for 35 years. I’ve been to WrestleMania and I’ve seen all of my favorite wrestlers live. But y his is the most excited I’ve ever been for a show in my entire life. I. Can’t. Wait.

Are your kids super fans too? If so, that might be the reason you’re super amped too!

They don’t care anything at all about it. They like the live shows but they will watch about 5 minutes tonight and retreat to their rooms. They don’t share any of my likes: WWE, TMNT, Mario. I move their way with things like Minecraft, Roblox, and Star Wars.

My kid does not share my likes either (with the exception of FRIENDS). It's a bummer since I'm technically a big kid myself. I worry about the future of my collections.

They all share my TV show likes (Office, Seinfeld, HIMYM, Friends, Gilmore Girls) but my wife can’t stand them lol (with the exception of GG which’m she got me into).

Tell them I said hi! There's some beer in the bar fridge. Help yourself.

Can’t say where this ranks in terms of my excitement. It’s a great build and I’m always excited for Mania but it’s certainly up there.

What makes this year interesting, is with all the HHH hype there is an air of uncertainty to the show. Like we could see people from other feds appears, call ups, or just real shocks. Like there is a real chance last minute MCMG or Hardy Boyz are added to that ladder match. Tag main event match could get a legend as a ref or become an attitude era style bloodbath. One of the TNA girls could challenge the winner of Rhea and Becky to a match on Raw. A lot of things HHH could do here to get everyone talking about WM leading into night two.

I’m happy for HHH , I’ve always trumpeted him as one of the greatest wrestling minds of his generation. You could always tell just listening to him talk wrestling and his philosophies and outlook. Happy that he’s getting a chance to prove it.

So do we get MJF?

Dude isn’t leaving AEW. He got locked into a contract already. Any “bidding war” talk is just story for his character.

Well. Technically speaking, no one knows. His contract expired in January if he didn’t renew it. But there are few people who believe he actually is leaving AEW. Most believe he renewed a while back but didn’t announce it so it could be part of his story “bidding war 24.” There’s no bidding war. TK will pay him way more than WWE will. If he held out, it was to get more money out of TK. Is there a chance he is leaving? Yeah. But it’s got to be something like .001%

I'm enjoying this countdown show.

It feels like a departure from the typical kickoff shows.

Even if MJF did not sign a new contract in secret and is on time added, he is not gonna do more dates for less cash. He is from the Nash school that money talks.  He gives no shits about that grind attitude that HHH pushed yesterdays.

Moving the party to its own thread!
