WWE WrestleMania 30 Two Hour Pre-Show

 

WWE sent out the following: Watch the two-hour WrestleMania 30 Pre-Show on Sunday 6th April.

 

Get ready for the biggest WrestleMania in history with the super-sized, two-hour WrestleMania 30 Pre-Show on Sunday 6th April LIVE from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, starting at 5e/2p.

 

The first hour of the WrestleMania 30 Pre-Show will feature analysis of the action-packed card from a star-studded panel of Superstars past and present, along with on-the-scene interviews featuring Superstars preparing to battle on The Grandest Stage of Them All. The first half of the WrestleMania 30 Pre-Show can be viewed on WWE.com, the WWE App, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pheed.

 

Then, at 6e/3p, the Pre-Show continues exclusively on WWE Network, where the all-star panel will continue to break down the stacked WrestleMania lineup. In addition, the action will begin with an exclusive Pre-Show Match!

 

It all leads up to WrestleMania 30, which blasts off at 7e/4p. WWE’s annual extravaganza, including The Undertaker defending his epic Streak against Brock Lesnar, John Cena battling the eerie Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Batista and the winner of a showdown between Daniel Bryan and Triple H, can be watched LIVE in its entirety on WWE Network!

From Wrestling 101:

 

In my opinion, there are two key ingredients to a great Wrestlemania: quality matches, and of course, a solid card. While the card for Wrestlemania 30 isn’t complete, it’s clear enough to give some thought and colorful opinions. Let’s break it down, shall we?

The Usos vs. Los Matadores vs. The Real Americans vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel (WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match) has been made official.

I thought Rowan and Harper would have got a shot at the titles

[Guest Beefhead]

So we know Stings gonna be at Wrestlecon, and I've read that there are rumblings he'll debut on the Raw after Mania. Anybody else think that one of the spots where taker almost loses could be caused by Sting. Then on Raw they do the setup for a one year build on the Mania streak match. Maybe sting beats Taker at Summerslam then Taker continues the Streak at Mania.

[Guest Yodahew]

Looking at the card for mania anyone else get the feeling they are just pumping everyone on it? Have there ever been as many people competing in so few a matches? U have the battle royal, 8 people in the tag match, streak, trips bryan, 3 in title match, cena wyatt, 6 in the shield match plus the divas to come.

 

EDIT: just seen all the divas in 1 match already announced.

[Guest Yodahew]

Sorry for double post but i have just counted and including trips or dbry pulling double duty there will be 65 superstars competing at mania. Is this the most ever?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I would think so

[Guest Beefhead]

The same could happen to Sting. If he's here for a year, I doubt he will not have a single match in the time leading up to next WrestleMania.

 

No I know that's why I said maybe he gets some kind of win on Taker at Summerslam.

If the Battle Royal is comprised of exclusive competitors only, there are going to be 66 wrestlers on the card as it stands right now, plus whatever Hogan ends up physically doing at the show (if anything).

[Guest The Beltster]

Somebody needs to update the original post in this thread with the updated Hogan-ized poster, ASAP!

[DC 536]

If the Battle Royal is comprised of exclusive competitors only, there are going to be 66 wrestlers on the card as it stands right now, plus whatever Hogan ends up physically doing at the show (if anything).

To follow up on this, with 66 separate wrestlers on the card and the addition of managers, valets, referees, ring announcers, commentators, the Hall of Fame inductees, Hogan and any surprise visitors, there could be over 100 people appearing on the show.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Is Wrestlemania 30!!!!!!!!!

[Guest The Beltster]

Did anybody watch the WM press conference? Holy shit, that was the worst crowd I've EVER heard, they didn't give a f*ck about anything, at all.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I intend to catch it later, I can imagine the crowd being hostile

[Guest]

Absolutely not, Batista got a laugh out of it and that was it.

[Guest The Beltster]

The crowd weren't hostile, they were silent. As in completely 100% silent. Batista was class, he got a few laughs but apart from that it was quite sad.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

A silent crowd is always a bad sign

[Guest Dave7g]

It was cringeworthy. Just the worst thing ever. If you were excited about Mania, don't watch it. Made Wrestlemania 30 look like a joke. The photo poses at the end were pathetic.

[Guest Frank Botch]

You could sense a lot of uncomfortable participants because the press didn't react or cheer, since it would be unprofessional to do so. But the performers weren't used to quiet when they come out for entrance music, and in the case of Hulk Hogan and Daniel Bryan, a lack of crowd participation in their catch phrases. There were fans in the back row, but with so many people not reacting, most of them were quiet as well, except one or two occasions late after several wrestlers knocked how dead it was.

 

Hulk Hogan would do things to get the crowd to react and it was half-hearted at best, and came off begging for a reaction by the end, which never comes off well. In this setting, compared to everyone else, he came off almost like a cartoon character from another generation.

 

From there, HHH tried to joke about having to follow Hogan's lack of response. Daniel Bryan was there trying to get people to chant "Yes," and it's never good when you beg for response that isn't there.

 

This is why we must crush the press
