Yeap. Say goodbye to WWE. Triple H, by far the most stupid man on the face of this Earth. 

 

I've remained a spectator in this thread but I have to agree.

 

There is some logic in Owen's post but dear god...Undertaker losing the streak to Lesnar of all people? Seriously?

Let's clear a rumor up right now. First off, it was not Triple H or Vince McMahon who chose to end the streak.  It was the Undertaker's decision to end the streak. It was also Undertaker's decision to end the streak with Lesnar.

 

Even though Lesnar may have been working a part time schedule in WWE, he was the only legimate threat to the streak. Out of all the matches Undertaker had with Lesnar in the past, Lesnar won a majority of them.  Also, Undertaker knew that if he won against Lesnar, he would have to defend the streak against Cena in the future, and there is no way Undertaker was going to lose the streak to Cena. 

 

It was also clear when watching the match that Undertaker was in extremely poor shape.  He got tired very easily and seem very winded.  I don't think Undertaker could have worked another match at WM 31.  

 

In the end, it's sad the streak is over, and that it went to someone who was somewhat underdeserving (personally, I think the streak should have went to an upcoming star to give them a big push), but in the end, it was Undertaker's decision.

Results of my predictions: 3 / 8 ( -0.5 because the divas winner was my second choice, +0.5 because I predicted the split after the tag match) but I am going to flip tables all day

 

If the goal of WM30 was to give people emotions, well, the internet sure is ablaze and it gives something to remember.

 

BUT!  extremely BAD booking of the middle matches.

- Super-Cena overcomes all odds? AGAIN? Yawwwwwm.

- Undertaker-Lesnar.  Biggest shock and dissappointment.

The streak should have been ended with a bang, to finish the Undertaker career on an AAA match with a younger talent to elevate him to superstardoom, because, the Undertaker is past his prime. But Lesnar? Really? not Reigns? Not Cesaro? Even Randy Orton would have been a better choice. It does not help Lesnar at all.

 

NJPW looks so much better ...

First time I've ever watched it live (am in Australia so work had to take a back-seat, and I had to find somewhere showing it). Simply incredible. It's one of the first PPVs where I've actually wanted the outcome of each match to be exactly what happened. Awesome.

I'm one of those. Pretty good. Although that could be the peak - the people signing up for WM.

 

The problem with what happened is that it overshadowed the rest of the show. Should have gone on last.

 

I realize that would be sort of a giveaway and take away from Bryan's moment, but the Divas never had a chance (they didn't anyway) and it took A LOT to get anyone interested in the main event.

It was nice to see Cesaro win the Battle Royal.  The Shield match wasn't even a match, it was just a 5 minute beat down.  Diva's match didn't have a chance due to Brock/Undertaker.  Cena's match was good, but the ending was no surprise. Cena's not going to lose a mid-card match at Wrestlemania.  HHH vs. Bryan was decent, but nothing special.  Brock/Undertaker was clearly the worst match of the night.  You can tell there were points in the match where Brock didn't know what to do as Undertaker couldn't even stand during the last half of the match. It makes me wonder how Undertaker was ever cleared to wrestle.  Main event was okay, but then again nothing special.  Bryan had to win, especially due to the Brock/Undetaker match.  

 

Good thing I only paid $9.99 as the PPV was not worth more than that.

Pre-show - Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) © vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel (RybAxel)

Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational: Every single diva's in the match. I'm gonna take the predictable route and say Tamina wins, thus bringing the Shawn Michaels & Diesel comparison around full circle.
Six-man tag team match: The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn)
Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Once again, I'm going the predictable route and saying Big Show wins the trophy.
For the third spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match: Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H - Screw any logic, I'm siding with the Yes Movement!
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - Definitely not making the same mistake as last year when I bet on CM Punk to beat Taker; thank #### it was just the winnings of the free bet I placed on The Miz in the pre-show! :p
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
Triple Threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton © vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan or Triple H: I've seen a few people online predict that the main event actually becomes a Fatal Four Way with both HHH and Bryan in it. Sounds like a Russo-esque swerve, but hell, I wouldn't mind seeing that happen.

5 out of 8.

 

I finished watching an hour ago and I'm still reeling from it all. What a WrestleMania. Plenty of good moments, the usual fair share of bad moments, but Taker/Lesnar... "holy ######" was my reaction.  :omg: Actually, that smiley isn't enough...

On a less serious note...

And I wonder if this is real...?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
