3rd Annual Shrimperzone Wrestlemania Thread...

[Beefy]

Its almost that time of year again. Wrestlemania 22 takes place on Sunday 2nd April live at midnight on Sky Sports. And yet again, having promised myself that I'd make it over there with some mates I will instead find myself in Bournemouth that weekend watching the Mighty Shrimpers instead. Probably for the best.

Been a bit underwealmed by the build-up this year. Possibly because I haven't watched Smackdown in six months and because I'm no great fan of Triple H, Shawn Michaels or John Cena who have all been the main guys on Raw for a while. Mania is always going to be a good show though.

The Card:

John Cena vs Triple H (WWE Championship)

Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio (World Championship)

Shawn Michaels vs Vince McMahon

The Undertaker vs Mark Henry

Chris Benoit vs John Bradshaw Layfield (US Championship)

Trish Stratus vs Mickey James (Womens Championship)

Big Show & Kane vs Chris Masters & Carlito (WWE Tag Team Championhip)

Ric Flair vs Rob Van Dam vs Shelton Benjamin vs Fit Finley vs Matt Hardy vs Lashley (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

Edge vs Mick Foley

Booker T vs The Boogeyman

Candice Michelle vs Torrie Wilson.

Think thats it...

is Big Daddy not in this years competition?

 

[Beefy]

I think he just missed out.

 

[Shrimpbizkit]

Ric Flair? Wow he must be in good shape for his age. Might have to reminisce and dig out my old "Summerslam 89" video.

 

[Guest]

Watching Flair wrestle can actually be quite disturbing.... well past time he retired!

Card isn't the greatest I've seen, but Mania often overcomes this - don't mind who wins the titles so long as Triple H beats the absolutely terrible John Cena....

Dont Forget Bret Hart will be there.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Does anyone remember Kamala - the Ugandan headhunter?

I once saw him win without even entering the ring by using tribal magic.

All the lights went out and when they came back on his opponent was flat out on his back and his wrestling boots were on fire.

This would have been in around 1988.

I'll ask my 10 year old son for some "fascinating" insights into the world of wrestling.

I do miss The Rock,shame he's moved on to the movies!  

 

 

[Beefy]

Half the time I only still watch Raw in the hope that The Rock will come back. Gutted that he won't be at Wrestlemania.

I've got some classic Rocky promos and skits I'll have to upload soon.

Here, here. I still yearn for the days of The Rock and Austin...

The only other wrestler with a half decent character at the moment is HBK, and even then the WWE seem determined to make him look silly all the time...

True, its funny to watch when your a kid but when you grow up, its just sad to watch.

 

[Beefy]

You can say that about most of the things on television though.

 

[perth shrimper]

I don't understand the whole thing.
Its scripted, fixed and extremely wierd for grown men to enjoy this sort of stuff.

Hope you enjoy it though
