Wainy316 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Mania 15 was a bad one as a wrestling card (with the exception of the main event). However it's an absolute nostalgia fest to the height of the Attitude era. Early 1999 was the absolute height of how excited I was by wrestling, the Corporation and Ministry angles we absolute gold and they should have been drawn out longer. I'd also like to add how much I absolutely love the 1999 Royal Rumble to this day. The whole car was a pure Russo fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw and Nitro would often start with them all in the ring for a big group promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted March 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) For me, the defining moment of the attitude era was Pat Pattersons skid marks and Jerry The king Lawlors description of them 4 mins 42 onwards Edited March 31, 2023 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Really good so far! The multi-man tag match was incredible. Logan Paul is talented. Dom is amazing, such great heat - and he’s improving as a wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Cena vs Theory aside, that's one of the strongest nights of WrestleMania ever. Everything on from the first match was so, so good. Bit disappointed I'll miss night two because I'm in work but the only match I'm gutted about missing is Balor v Edge. Night two will have some work to do to compete with what we just seen. Very enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I read that Cena's performance was such that he just doesn't take risks in ring anymore, for fear of getting injured and it affecting his acting commitments. For those who watched it, how true do you think that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who watched it, how true do you think that is? Yeah that wouldn’t shock me. It wasn’t an “all in” performance from Cena, and even then he was protected and made to look strong. (No spoilers - but I’m talking about the match ending and something Theory did before that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Very strong first night. Ripley v Flair should have gone last. I actually want Roman to go over tonight. Needs to break 1,000 days and prolong Cody's chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
