I thought they got better reaction than I expected, seemed a lot more than Alexander/Ali got last year.

I was wondering what to do with that question but thought passing out would be more like a knockout rather than a submission. There are certain superstars who I couldn't see submitting, but could see them passing out. If others have any suggestions/feedback for this let me know. I checked to see if it would have made any difference to the top 3, but we'd still have the same winner: Kieranshakespeare93 - 560 leefaulds17 - 555 Zack T - 540 It's not for me? It's showing the 'No, there will not be outside interference' as ticked for me.

I watched the pre-show last night and WrestleMania this afternoon. Pre-show: - Really surprised to see Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese get some decent crowd reaction, was happy for them. Was surprised Murphy lost as Tony is kinda bland, but guess it's a hometown win. - Women's Battle Royal wasn't anything special, I was shocked when it looked like Sarah Logan won, even when Carmella got in the ring I was wondering who she was at first :p Another hometown win. - I thought the Raw tag titles match was going to be on the main show but I didn't mind so much as the audience looked pretty full by this point. Thought this was a good match, the crowd enjoyed it, another hometown win! - Men's Rumble went pretty much as I expected. I wonder how much Colin Jost and Michael Che got paid for their involvement :) Main-show: - I thought we might get a Hogan appearance, the crowd seemed to enjoy it. - Thought it was a good idea to put Seth/Brock first since we had 3 big wins on the night, so best to spread them out. I really thought Brock was going to retain, so was cool to see Seth win again. The match was OK. - AJ/Randy was good, nothing special though. - Glad to see The Usos retain, think all the teams looked good in this. - Shane/Miz got off to an iffy start but they built it up well and finish with a cool spot, although with Shane winning, I guess this feud is going to continue. - I was happy to see The Iconics win :-O - Kofi/Daniel was a good match, the crowd got really into it, but have to admit, I enjoyed the NXT title match from Friday more. - I guess Rey is still injured, hence the quick finish, I didn't mind as it makes Samoa Joe look strong. However, considering the number of matches he's lost over the past year I don't think it will make much difference as it will be business as usual on Smackdown. Reigns/McIntyre was OK. - Seeing Cena rapping again was a nice touch, so much better than if he had come out as his usual self. - Poor Batista tripping on the ropes just getting in the ring! :-O Thought the match was OK, I wasn't ever interested in it so it wasn't anything special for me. - Don't think the fans thought Baron would win. The match was alright, again, nothing special. - Finn/Bobby had some nice moment but again, just alright for me. - Main event - Thought this was good but felt the finish really let it down. Couldn't they let Becky win clean? Overall, it was alright. I didn't have any high expectations so I wasn't expecting much. There was nothing particularly bad...it was just all OK, nothing memorable for me. I know with Seth, Kofi and Becky having their big wins, it should mean something - it just felt flat to me - that could be due to the 7+ hour runtime though.

I hadn't updated them when you checked...just did this now :) Oh...and I did pretty rubbish too :p - I voided the match win question (via pinfall, submission etc) for the Samoa Joe/Rey Mysterio match as Rey passed out Leaderboard has been updated HERE If you want to compare the results against your own picks, go to Events > WWE WrestleMania 2019 If you want to check each PPV separately, go to Leaderboards > Event Leaderboards Congrats to @adr06 who came top of the WrestleMania predictions however it's @Kieranshakespeare93 who wins the season - by 5 points!

Bret was attacked by a fan during the Hart Foundation HOF speech last night: https://twitter.com/username/status/1114691725845508096 Good to see the Superstars react so quickly. Can't believe someone would actually do that though! Considering Bret had to retire due to concussions...then he had his stroke...then his cancer.

I had to start a thread. NXT TakeOver was INSANE! That opening tag match was excellent, Hanson impresses me every time! Dream/Riddle was another good match, I thought Riddle might turn at the end but was pleasantly surprised when he didn't. Although I feel like it might happen sooner rather than later. This is the first I've seen of WALTER - love that entrance with the silhouette with him in his long coat. Brutal match, some real stiff shots. I wonder if Dunn will make the move to one of the main shows now? Women's title match was good, some really nice spots. Shayna is doing really well, I can see her doing well on the main roster with her connection to Rousey/MMA/The 4 Horsewomen. The title match started off slow but by the end, it was just insane, I can't even remember the number of times I thought the match was over but we got a kick out. Really nice moment with Ciampa coming out at the end too! Oh and extra kudos for the video prior to the match, showcasing the history as well as them training to get ready for the match :cloud9:

As mentioned previously, I'm looking forward to the women's title match and that's about it. I know we're going to get some good-to-great matches on the night but I'm not as hyped as I would normally be for WrestleMania. I'm sure once the show gets going and the whole spectacle of it unfolds I'll begin to enjoy it more, hopefully! That's been added now. Surprisingly that's made the main show, the 3 matches on the pre-show have been confirmed as both Battle Royals and the Cruiserweight title match. I thought with the men's Battle Royal having the celeb involvement they'd save that for the main show. I guess that could mean we see Curt Hawkins end his losing streak at WrestleMania... Asuka was on another level in NXT, easily the best women on the entire roster for me. As you've said, hasn't done much on the main shows but we all know (those that have seen her matches on NXT) just what she's capable of.

- I've added Lacey Evans to the bottom of the Women's Battle Royal list - totally forgot about her! It probably won't lead to anything but I thought I'd stick it in just in case, can always void it after if it doesn't happen on the kick-off show :)

:explode: It seems like they've got no idea what to do with Sanity, other than to make them jobbers. I was hoping we might get some kind of Rey/Joe confrontation as they've not done anything with them yet, or even just have Joe on the mic trashing Rey...something!

Some notes: - If Becky Lynch wins both titles, that will count as 2 title changes, if Ronda/Charlotte win that will count as 1 title change - I added a 'Revival vs Zack Ryder/Curt Hawkins' match as they've teased this to be happening on their youtube channel

I thought the fight between Charlotte, Becky and Ronda was great, I'm really surprised they didn't finish with that. Putting Baron Corbin in the final segment of the final Raw before Mania :sleep: The Kurt video was good too, so many great memories.

From TV By The Numbers: It's a shame fans seem to have deserted the show as it seems to be getting good again. I'm hoping with all the fallout from the episode, the finale can gain back some viewers.

^^ I think I just jinxed Auska. I seem to be complaining each week, but once again, I was annoyed with the booking. Vince was mocking New Day for implying they wanted to quit, he then tells Kofi he's a B+ but he's not sure about Big E and Xavier. He then tells Big E/Xavier they're going in the gauntlet match and if they win, Kofi is going to WrestleMania. Huh? I know we're going to get a good match but the booking has been complete shite. :mad: Charlotte makes Asuka tap out for the title. :mad: The only thing I liked about the gauntlet match was The Uso's forfeiting. They've shown The Usos/New Day have mutual respect previously so that was a nice moment. I don't think WWE have made me this underwhelmed about a WrestleMania before, I'm usually excited for a few matches but I'm just not feeling it this year.

I skipped that entire segment, so first I heard of it :) Like you said, I can't see Triple H retiring, especially with all these big money making supershows to do :P I thought Raw was OK. The crowd was crazy in that opening segment, haven't heard them that loud in a long time. I normally don't like the celebrity involvement at WrestleMania, but seeing Colin Jost troll the fans makes me smile. I can't see either of them (Colin and Michael) in the Battle Royal for too long.

I don't mind Charlotte either...however I was a little miffed she beat Asuka at WrestleMania last year. I don't think a loss there by Charlotte would have made much difference to her through 2018 whereas Asuka seems to have gone nowhere since moving to the main roster.

I thought it was an excellent episode. After a lackluster few seasons, I'm enjoying the show again. It looks like they could have killed them in the Kingdom (whilst everyone was watching the movie) and just taken their heads. Have to admit, I was surprised by Henry! Even though Tara and Enid hadn't done much lately, I was still gutted for them. Tammy was growing on me too, especially now she had the baby to look after. I get the feeling we could see a few more deaths in the finale :sad:

I've seen the matches, I've got no doubt the card will be stacked...I just don't care about the majority of them. I don't feel like WWE have done enough in that respect. I'm sure we'll get some great matches on the night but I'm just thinking they would have been even better with some decent build-up over the past few months.

Miz always does a great promo. Is Charlotte using botox? I mean:omg: [GALLERY=media, 537][/GALLERY] I'm getting sick of all these convoluted storylines, WrestleMania is only weeks away and they haven't even got a confirmed opponent for Bryan. I imagine it will be Kofi, but come on! It feels like the only match that has had any long-term build is the Raw women's title. Everything else on the card seems like an afterthought, I guess they can now just sell it off the 'WrestleMania' name alone - with it being on the WWE Network they don't really need to build feuds to sell PPVs like they used to. At this point, I'm usually excited about a few matches but I just don't care about anything bar the Raw womens title match.

Didn't think much of Raw this week. WWE actually hyped up Kurt's WrestleMania opponent...only to give us BARON CORBIN! :brickwall: Poor Dana :eek:

Oooh Shelton Benjamin! We all knew he would lose but nice to see him :) I'm SO bored of Lashley and Balor, I guess we're going to get a gimmick match between the two at Mania? No Way Jose's hair was just a NO! :eek: As much as it will make a nice WrestleMania moment for Kurt, I can't believe it will be his last match - he'll be itching to get back in the ring again. Ambrose took a hell of beating! So it's going to be Roman/Drew at Mania then - should be a good brawl but nothing I'm that excited about.

So no title changes then :p I voided 2 questions due to the match changes - the Daniel Bryan/Kevin Owens match and the Rey Mysterio/Andrade match.
