BookerT just called KENTA a rookie who will be scared by the lights.

When somebody pointed out that he has sold out the Tokyo Dome and big stadiums in Japan he claimed that that was totally different and not important like a WWE show.

Hahahaha the fucking marks

pre-show?

Fuck me the preshow is cringe inducingly poor. The 'chemistry' between Booker, Renee, Graves and Byron is horribly forced. I wouldn't mind if somebody dropped a bomb on that panel.

The WWE always seems to find the least interesting way of presenting infinitely interesting characters.

Can they spare Renee?

pre-show?

It was the preshow panel at the top of the hour. They put the HHH Schwarzenegger interview on then and now a retrospective of last year. Proper preshow starts in 20mins then the show 2 hours after that

Didn't notice last year that the Ultimate Warriors family took the last name Warrior. Wouldn't that make his legal name Warrior Warrior?

Looking forward to HHH/Sting's entrances as much as the match itself if I'm honest. Same for Taker of course.

HHH down first after yet another epic entrance and then Sting dropping down from the rafters? Shirley they can't pass that chance up.

Has anybody done the long drop entrance since Owen?

And don't call me Shirley

Also, Sgt Slaughter unretires and pledges allegiance to ISIS

Saddam Hussain did the long drop exit a few years ago.

Coat??

Not in WWE as far as I'm aware but Sting has still been being doing it conisistently. I couldn't see them passing it up for what may well his last match.

Wait, sadly I could :(

Could easily just do a blackout and he suddenly appears in the ring entrance. I would be disappoint.

a daylight PPV is going to be strange to watch, the entrances and lighting will be interesting.

Last year's Mania had that star feel about it, had that wow factor to some extent, this year I feel the card is lacking that so I hope the matches deliver it, and that the main event is palatable and credible.

For Sting, I just wish they'd use his classic theme, and do what they did in the 2K15 ad where a lone violin starts, and a full orchestra joins in as he drops from the rafters, his entrances on RAW are naff.
