Technico Support Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Christ, what a bummer that they gave up roman numerals. IT MAKES US LOOK OLD, PAL! The Super Bowl just hit 53 and nobody gave a shit. Fuck's sake. Is this on the list of things HHH will change when he takes over? If so, how far behind #1 ("fire Kevin Dunn") is it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A world where Kairi Sane doesn't make her Mania entrance swinging on a rope from that thing with her motley crew of lady pirates like "Sirens of TI" is a world I don't want to live in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Elias' segment better have a lot of Jameis Winston material. Certainly there's some things you can't touch on a PG show, but at least bring up the crab legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not sure how many of you all plan on making the trip down here, but it would be pretty cool to have a meet up of some sorts. Like I said before, I will most likely not be at WM, but I'll be at TakeOver if there is one then and at a ton of indy events, so I'm sure we can plan something.

It's just the same thing over and over now and he's not exactly improving in the ring. It sucks too because man, it felt like he came really close to putting it all together. They definitely should have pulled the trigger on a face turn sooner. Not only that, but they shouldn't have gone through with the weird heel turn out of nowhere. Maybe do less of the same shit every week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people excuse how annoying he is because "he's one of us" but I can't stand him. I think that Ian from ROH is a much better version of Mauro. I will respectfully disagree. Riccaboni is super cringey to me. It's just like he has this endless list of catchphrases for every wrestler and situation and reels them off. It doesn't help that Cabana is yucking it up as the color man. I mean I know that is his gimmick but it all gets to be too much sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Yeah, if Kairi Sane doesn't get to have her version of Rusev On A Tank by commandeering the Buccaneer Boat then Wrestlemania 36 has already bombed. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Whereas in the attitude era, they got away from the numerals to hide how long they'd been doing it. X-Seven and all that. In One thousand, nine hundred and sixty five years they're going to have a real problem deciding what to call that year's show. They've already done Wrestlemania 2000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The ditching of the roman numerals, for good, is only a recent occurrence (2015). Ever since then, on pretty much all merchandise related to 'Mania it's either been strictly just "WrestleMania" or it's been the actual number instead of the numerals. They went back to the numerals from 2003 to 2004, then went with the actual numbers from 2005 to 2009, then from 2010 to 2012 they stuck with the roman numerals until 2013, went back to the numerals for WrestleMania XXX, and ever since then it's been just the number. Even in the Attitude Era, since @AxB brought it up, they'd go back and forth between just as the event itself, with the number or with the roman numerals. The box art for 1998 has no mention of the year of what 'Mania it is numerically, it's just branded as "WrestleMania x-rated". It's the same thing in 1999, nothing but the event name and a subtitle. I see why they went with 2000 for the 16th edition, but yeah it kinda mucks up everything. 1997 is a bit different, since it was the 13th edition and they highlighted that number because of what it was (unlucky number 13) and who was in the main event (Undertaker). 1996 they went with the numerals, since it was 30 minutes away from Hollywood and they parodied the 20th Century Fox logo.

NikoBaltimore Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I didn't want to watch the video because I'd rather not add to the view count. But if she said that then I can't imagine WWE will be happy about that. Not just her saying "Fuck" but more importantly her saying wrestling's fake is a big no-no to them. If other wrestlers get jumped on for saying stuff not at as bad then regardless of stature she deserves whatever backlash she gets.
