Imagine if Sammartino, Backlund, Hogan, Savage and Warrior showed up to dominate WM17

[Here Comes the Pain]

This was basically wwe legends of wrestlemania.

Every year it seems like they're getting more desperate. They need to work on the current crop of guys and work fast.

 

[8WON6]

The majority of their stars are injured and Stone Cold, HBK, Foley, and Rock took up like a total of 20 mins screen time, equivalent to what these legends get every year. There was a lot to complain about regarding Mania but the legends were among the highlights of the show This forum's getting annoyingly bytchy

Three matches on the pre-show. Kalisto/Ryback could have filled up a slot. The Usos could have jobbed to Cass and Enzo on the main show too. Cass and Enzo's entrance is over as fukk. But yeah we needed to squash some people in that time, you right.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

horrible comparison

WM 17 was the climax of the biggest boom in wrestling history.

this ain't that

Fine. Replace it with WM 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 or 27 instead

We got what you was saying @TheGreatShowtime

 

[Joe Schome]

Most of these "new" guys are shyt. Yes the writing is terrible but the writing for Cena was terrible as well and he got over. If there were any guys comparable to Rock or Autstin they woudln't need to call the old guys.

Cass & Enzo?

Prefer to watch Eva Marie and Lana run ropes for the second time in their life and a Kalisto Ryback Payback opener match over The Rock and Stone Cold brehs

Prefer to watch Rock give a meaningless promo and hit a finisher and Stone Cold hit a finisher than actual wrestling brehs.
Cass and Enzo are over and you have people injured just insert them in a match with the Usos. Nope we gotta please nikkas for mania moments and have these same nikkas complain tomorrow night about how bad the booking is. Wrestlemania doesn't exist in a vacuum compared to the other WWE content. Get the network and rewatch all your favorites if you need that. But the same people condoning "legends" squashing active wrestlers be the loudest people complaining about about booking. While we're at it, why didn't they have Bret Hart come out and throw the sharp shooter on Nakamura, because you know...legends.

What does Cass & Enzo have to do with this show ?

And yes I'd prefer to watch a Rock promo and a Stone Cold appearance over a match between two midcarders nobody really gives a fukk about, who wouldn't

 

[8WON6]

What does Cass & Enzo have to do with this show ?

like I said you have all these people are injured, they (cass and enzo)ARE collecting checks from WWE, use them. You found space for fukking Tatanka. You have time to kill, use your active talent. Why does the preshow need to be two hours? Cuz nikkas were complaining about the preshow being to long. But yeah play dumb tho. Like I said, why not have Bret or fukking Shawn come out hit their finisher on Nakamura at end of NXT so we can have "moments". LOL.

Like I said same people happy about the moments will be complaining tomorrow about booking. Cena aint the only person squashing people. That's the funny part. If Cena did the same thing, came out and Fu'd seven active wrestlers, yall would be screaming about it. shyt is hilarious.

 

[GunRanger]

what did hbk and austin do tonight?

 

[Box Cutta]

what did hbk and austin do tonight?

After New Day lost to League of Nations, LON got on the mic and started cutting a promo about how "no 3 men can beat us 4".

Cue HBK, Stone Cold, and Mick Foley.

They come out, beat up the LON.

ND gets in the ring and starts dancing....Mick and HBK are with it a bit, but Austin stuns Xavier.

Then, the old-timers all share a beer in the ring...as 7 members of the current roster can only look on and

It might have been a "fun WM moment" for nostalgia reasons, but it made the ND and LON look like clowns. And considering that ND had just lost to LON, they looked doubly stupid.

 

[Ace Money]

The most bizarre part of the segment was Rock putting over Bray in his promo. It's like he knew it was the wrong thing to do, but he had to do it anyway since Cokeboy signed the check

Precisely. I think tonight was the first time I've ever witnessed "Inadvertent ether."

 

[The_Sheff]

Well if you keep burying anyone who gets over you will never have the next superstar.

 

[prophecypro]

To be fair, we all knew 2 years out that the Mania in Jerry's World would have every legend role out to try and sell that bytch

Combination of career injuries, deaths, firings and movie studios trying to put a stop along with the main roster injuries kinda fukked up but we were expecting these Legend appearances. And still nothing compared to Mania 30 or 31

 

[StatUS]

Tired of these part timers. NXT has proven the fans will care about nobodies as long as they are booked well.

If they put effort behind these new guys they would be fine.

 

[Tommy Fits]

I have no problem with the legends but this Mania was just overboard. Every segment they were involved with younger talent, they went over them. If you did the same exact segments throughout the year it wouldn't have been as big an issue. But to have it all done on one night just really highlights the issue of just how poorly Vince has developed new talent. I love seeing the legends at Mania and having a role at Mania but the way it was booked last night was not a good look.
