So... there may be a chance I could go to next year's WrestleMania. I've never been to America before so... this could be fun! (Hell, I've never been out of Europe!)

The one in Orlando?

Now what's the problem?

Isn't it obvious?

Nope, that's why I asked in the first place. I don't see anything in that exchange between Redders and I which is cause for a facepalm.

Try looking harder.

I'm not picking this one up either.

Last time Mania was in Orlando I went. Wonder if I should try going this year...

I believe my question was misinterpreted. I asked it in order to clarify the location. I was fully aware Redders is referring to the Wrestlemania event in 2017, but I wasnt exactly sure if next year was the one in Orlando or not, which is why I asked.

Imagine this conversation:
"I'm planning on going to Wrestlemania next year"
"Is that the one located in Orlando?"
"Yes it is"

Seems straightforward to me.

I will say Mania is worth going to because even if the show sucks, it still feels big.

The only meh part of attending Mania live is the show goes on for 4 to 5 hours and 20 mins of that will inevitably be some lame promo by the Rock or a McMahon and you'll be forced to sit through a Triple H match that bores you to shreds, an Undertaker match that makes you feel sad seeing the old man's career die a slow death, and a Brock Lesnar match that is basically all suplexs, lacks any creativity, and feeds Paul Heyman's nostrils love for "powder candy."

I would imagine at some point if I shouted out "THE REF SCREWED..." whoever, you would shout from wherever you are "THAT'S RACIST!"

Because we'd totally be able to hear each other in a stadium that big.

Despite speculation that Vince McMahon favors the RAW brand, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported this week that Vince is still hands-on with SmackDown. Meltzer said it’s simply “not the case” that Vince only works on RAW.

Meltzer also commented on the possibility of WWE acting as a distributor and airing other companies’ wrestling shows on their Network, similar to Netflix. He feels that it would make sense, but is unlikely due to Vince’s “weird mindset” about any other company “getting credit” for the Network’s success.

Top WWE officials are reportedly interested in signing Matt Hardy when he becomes a free agent next year. Hardy has completely revitalized his career over the past year, transforming himself into “Broken Matt” and producing some of the most entertaining segments from any wrestling promotion. According to the Wrestling Observer, intermediaries of Triple H have made it clear to Hardy that he’d be welcomed back in WWE. He hasn’t worked for the company since 2010.

Hardy’s TNA deal runs through Spring 2017. While the notion of Broken Matt back in the WWE Universe is full of entertaining possibilities, there are several hurdles standing in the way. Aside form whatever efforts TNA would make to keep the deranged performer, Matt currently has free reign over the creative direction of his character. He would have far less creative control in WWE and he’s very aware how different things would be with WWE’s creative writers scripting Broken Matt.

There is also the issue of WWE’s travel schedule. He currently works limited dates for TNA and commands top dollar on the independent scene without having to endure everything associated with life on the road full time.

During a recent appearance on Booker T’s Heated Conversations podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart gave his latest comments regarding Seth Rollins’s in-ring work. Despite being very outspoken about Rollins injuring John Cena, Sting and Finn Balor, Bret says he’s actually a big fan.

“I mean, it sounds like I’ve been a little hard on him the last few months, but I’m trying to make a point to make him a better wrestler, to live up to what I expect out of him. And we’re in this business. It’s not about hurting people, and, too often, people misunderstand my point, and, maybe, including him. Now, he thinks I’ve got a hard on for him, or I’m out to get him, or out to make him sound bad. I’m not. I love his wrestling and I like him as a person. He’s always a respectful guy and I know he’s trying his hardest.”

Hart continued, “I hope Seth Rollins becomes the safest, best wrestler in the world. And I wish him all the luck in the world. And I’m not trying to pick on him. I’m just trying to remind him that it’s not about hurting guys. That doesn’t make you a good wrestler. It makes you a really lousy wrestler.”

Bret would then compare Rollins’ to Goldberg, the guy who ended Bret Hart’s career and cost him millions of dollars.

“Goldberg was the same with me. He was a great guy and I love Bill Goldberg, but he cost me millions of dollars and he hurt me really badly. And there’s no room for it,” Hart said. “You’ve got to go back to the dressing room every night and beat that wrestler and look him in the eye, and go, usually, Book, you know, you come back, you meet, you shake hands, you hug each other, because you put your life in this guy’s hands. And I know accidents are going to happen. Accidents happen. Bill Goldberg was an accident. He didn’t try to kick my head off, but he did.”

Bret would then go on to claim that Rollins’ is lucky that he did not kill Cena with that messy knee to the face.

“Chris Jericho and Seth did a podcast a few months ago and they were kind of ragging on me for making such a big deal about one little accident in the ring. But I watched, really closely, the match where he kneed John Cena in the face. And do you know what? There’s no excuse for those kinds of mistakes. If you’re doing CrossFit all day and you’re too tired to do your stuff in the ring… there’s just no excuse. And you watch a guy grab a guy and jerk his head down and see him full blast knee him in the face as hard as you can, and actually move his nose to the side of his head, there’s just no room for those kinds of mistakes. He’s lucky, really lucky, that he didn’t kill John Cena right in the middle of the ring. That’s a potential fatality when you make those kinds of mistakes. And then, I know I kind of made a big thing about it, and, the truth is, there’s no room for mistakes in wrestling. When you make a mistake, one time, you could cost somebody’s family everything that they’ve got.”

On the subject of Rollins’ buckle bomb, The Hitman questioned the logic behind the move.

“That move that Seth Rollins did where he hurt that Finn Bálor. Well, if you just think about it logically, ‘okay, I’m going to pick somebody up, and I’m going to go through their legs under the ropes, and then, I’m going to do like Razor Ramon and I’m going to just grab you and do the Razor’s Edge’. It’s basically the move. And if you just think about it, ‘okay, I’m going to pick you up, and then I’m going to run full blast, as hard as I can, just hurl your body against that padded wall’. And if you watch it, it’s, like, as soon as I saw it, I thought that if somebody had done that to me, I would have been pretty mad.”

Hart added, “I go, ‘it didn’t even mean anything. It didn’t help the match any more. It didn’t make the match any better. It’s not like everybody went home that night and thought, ‘what a great move that was.” It was a wasted effort, I think, to go through all that trouble to do this move, and then, you hurt somebody.”

Is Bret so deluded nowadays that he actually thinks everybody goes out there to wrestle in his honour?

So I learned today that "Stan", who Shawn Michaels kicked 10 years ago at Cyber Sunday, is actually Tye Dillinger.
