Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Holy shit this stadium atmosphere is just a cool visual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markme123 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Very cool looking atmosphere, but because it's open air, the acoustics won't be great, I fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 I don't like that Khali got a full bio intro... doesn't bode well for the result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 PWI is reporting that Kevin Nash and Test are backstage visiting at the show. The Rock is 100% not there and will not be there, so don't expect him. He flew back to a movie shoot in California immediately after doing the Hall of Fame. Steve Austin is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Well, I notice what I had mis-read. I read KOFI as Khali. There's still a Edge looking character next to Khali, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Damn them and their obsession with red ropes. I've always thought PPVs, especially something like Mania should have black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 I agree with Exslade. I do like th ring posts and apron, though. Anyone got a stream for the PPV itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bix 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Anyone else (at least w/ Cablevision) who ordered the standard definition broadcast getting the HD feed of the pre-show squished to 4:3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 BAH GAWD KANE! Just as I suspected. But a 3 minute battle royal? Shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah I didn't see Dreamer go either. I was hoping he would pull a Regal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Why bother paying for the nose-bleeds? Who was eliminated when Tazz called Noble out originally? Was Noble prematurely eliminated, so he just rolled in so he could do the walking on the wrestler spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Looking forward to a Kane ECW title run for some reason.....there's no excuse to NOT give him the belt tonight. Visually, as others have already said, the look of it all there in Orlando is something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caliban 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 That crowd sounds awesome, don't think acoustics will be an issue. This is going to be great! Personally, I think the entire WWE are still pissed off about the Benoit situation and want to put on an amazing show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 It looked sunny too (though that was a very small vid window on WWE.com), so that's good for now. Anyhow, the TV I'm watching this on isn't here so hope the show is good and see ya in 4 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil-o-Mac 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 My stream site has been down all day, so no WM live for me. Guess I'll have to wait another year for the first one. Unrelated note, Flair's a 3:1 underdog on oddsmaker.com. Michaels, Jericho, Batista, HHH, Finlay, Mayweather & Taker are the favorites. Chavo's match isn't a betting option. As someone who works for a bookies, I find the idea that someone's offering odds on Wrestlemania hilarious. Some of that stuff is surely stealing money, even at odds-on (Taker, Michaels, Mayweather). Still, looking at the site, MVP could be a value bet in MITB at, if I'm reading this spread stuff right, 7/2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kizzo 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Damn them and their obsession with red ropes. I've always thought PPVs, especially something like Mania should have black. Yeah having the red ropes is kinda odd. I think black would have looked better.. but it still looks great and will look absolutely stunning in HD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Taker and Kane both need to win the titles tonight. Then they could have a "Double Titles at Mania in ring" spot to replace Benoit/Guerrero from Mania XX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

megaadvice 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Lol at those oddsmaker odds. If min bet was not $50 then I would put my life savings on Taker. He is a 1/100 shot yet hes about 1/2 on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
