No Rock and on both nights the main event ended with a hit to the balls

On Pat McAfee's show, The Rock said he wanted the spotlight to be on John Cena and that's why he didn't appear at #WWE #WresteMania 41. pic.twitter.com/ODQ1fnJxjU

So he inserts himself and Travis Scott into a storyline and then says "nah I want the spotlight on somebody else". Okay Rock…

Big E as a hell would be perfect for a new Dangerous Alliance.

Big E is never coming back is he?

Says he's still not cleared more than two years after injuring his neck, so I don't have high hopes.

RIP Mongo

I'm guessing Becky joins the faction with Seth and Bron?

A new Dangerous Alliance.

Only if Heyman brings back the big ass phone.

Finally, a wrestling reference that I understand.

Wrestling managers with prop gimmicks is something that's really missing from today's product.

Paul E Dangerously's phone
Jim Cornette's tennis racket
Mr Fuji's cane
Jimmy Hart's megaphone

Bring it back!

---

Don't forget Classie Freddie Blassie's cane, "you pencil-neck geek!"

I loved it when El Grande Americano slipped for foreign object into his mask. It isn't a manager prop, but I enjoy the dedication to the old heel craft.

Granted, I think the whole El Granfe Americano storyline is brilliant, cleverly mocking MAGA by having a white guy appropriate Mexican culture.

Both Becky and Charlotte have been away from the ring (and the weight room) and it shows. Some real botches in the Charlotte-Tiffy match, hence the bloody teeth for Stratton.

My top 3 favorite wrestler of all time from an entertainment perspective. Sucks big time.

Just looked up tickets on Toyota centers site…

Holy smokes.

I went to WrestleMania X-Seven floor level for $115.

The nosebleed seats I saw for Raw are $95.

Wrestlemania X-seven was like 25 years ago - gas was $1, eggs were .93, milk was $2…what do you expect?

It was 24 years ago.

And I didn't expect ringside tickets for a weekly show to be $1,200!

I legitimately thought this was gonna be a podcast and Conrad was the third man. This is going to be a disaster.

Money grab turned into dumpster fire

Some NXT/WWE releases.
Updated 10:30P

Main Roster
Braun Strowman
Shayna Baszler
Dakota Kai
Kayden Carter
Katana Chance

NXT
Cora Jade
Gigi Dolin
Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, & Wolfgang)
Eddy Thorpe
Riley Osborne
Oro Mensah
Jakara Jackson
Javier Bernal

Not really anyone your going to terribly miss, unless we are including Cora's new boobs.

I'm bummed about Kai, I liked her. Braun also, but his knees/legs were being held together by tape.

A few of the NXT releases were just on the most recent ep of NXT.

Thorpe surprises me. It like for a minute there WWE was going to give him a big push.

Surprised Zoey Stark made it through. She's been kind of blurring the lines with tweets lately complaining about her lack of use... Plus she sucks.

I have no idea how Gargano and Ciampa continue to survive. They are so unbelievably uninteresting and comically overrated.

So it's real Olympic-style wrestling but with story lines? I'm confused by this.

Saw LA Knight in ORD this morning. Yeeaaaah

Shotzi added to the list.

I thought I saw in the press release that it was "unscripted" - I'm thinking they're trying to create a UFC for Olympic Wrestling - no storylines, just promoting the matches…

But yeah, I don't see it catching on

Sabu. Another 90s star.

I thought he was already dead. Apparently he was still doing matches. Wow.



Dude took this bump at 60 years old?

Diagnosed this week with colon cancer.
Surgery being scheduled in the next week or two.
I appreciate your concern and support.
🙏

Here's a little Sabu primer. That guy was crackers.

Several years ago I went to an autograph show at the Galleria with a lot of big names (Mike Tyson, Ric Flair, Pete Rose, etc.). There was a section of vendors, and mixed in with them were a couple of lesser known celebrities just sitting a table all day and you could buy an autograph or talk to them or buy whatever other product they might be selling. Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine were there at the same table, and they actually had a handful of people interacting with them while I was there.

Sabu sat at a table by himself. I never saw anybody say a word to him or interact with him in any way. In fairness, he wasn't exactly welcoming...looked angry sitting there. I vaguely knew who he was....knew he was a ECW guy, but that was about it. Felt bad for him.

Looks like WWE has canceled New Orleans for Wrestlemania next year. Money in the Bank will be held there instead.

Curious where they are thinking about going. Overseas?

Internet says back to Vegas?

I guess as a tv watcher that's no big deal, but it is kind of lame. Glad I've been to a Mania already if they decide to just stick to Vegas... But yeah if they ever do completely sellout to the Saudi's I think they'd lose a lot of fans.

Supposedly they received a bid from another city. Vegas paid them about $5 million in incentives this year.

Won't really affect anything related to WWE but all of the periphery tagalong events like the conventions have likely already been booked and it's going to cost those people some money.

Confirmed going back to Vegas. Makes sense. 2025 was the most profitable WrestleMania in history.
