If WrestleMania is 4 hours long, what are they going to fill it with? That's half an hour a match, and I sure as hell don't want to see Gail Kim take half an hour to eliminate Michelle McCool.

 

[Big Daddy Fool]

im surprised we havent seen any of austin since he was announced that he was goig to be inducted into the hof

 

[Ty Burna]

Ah yes, the other clusterfuck of the night.

 

[realblackhart]

oh wow another 8 man tag

 

[The Bearded One]

I honestly can't wait for Mania. I have loved the Orton-HHH build-up. Everything else has been good enough to get me excited.

 

[realblackhart]

they ran out of 8 man ideas

 

[Thriller Ant]

They really need a better way to build-up to the MITB match. Make mini-feuds or something b/c the 8 man stuff gets boring fast

hm. Very good point.


They can get 20 minutes out of the three MEs. Not sure at all what else they will fill time with. Remember, this will be in a (american) football stadiums, so the entrances will be pretty long and elaborate.

 

[klunderbunker]

MITB will be at least 20 minutes also.

 

[The Bearded One]

Hardy's can go about 20 with the extreme rules

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Love the WM advertisement with R Truth on the front of it

 

[Mighty NorCal]

MITB will be at least 20 minutes also.

you think??? Ugh. that would be ghastly.

 

[The Bearded One]

Hardy's can go at least 20 with the extreme rules

 

[Loveless]

MVP ftw

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I think the shortest one was like 22.

 

[Tastycles]

But 20 x 8 = 2 hours 40. That's a whole lot of filler. And the divas match will actually go about 5 mins, so any extra time for the main matches will be made up there.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I can see the Triple Threat going for half an hour

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Yeah I think the shortest one was like 22.

there will be an absolute record made for "most minutes spent laying around doing nothing for no reason"

 

[Big Daddy Fool]

whats the point of this battle royal. Does the winner get something to benefit him in the MITB or is creative completely out of ideas to get these guys in a match before mitb

 

[Loveless]

MVP ftw

MVP ftl

Damn

 

[Big Daddy Fool]

Dont forget they usually show a montage of the feud before they show the match at wrestlemania

 

[IrishCanadian25]

No its boring because hes been saying the exact same thing for about three weeks. BTW I only watch wrestling to see UNDERTAKER

SO you only tune in 4 months out of the year...?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I understand that.

hence why "hm, good point" prefaced everything I said....

You also have to factor in entrances, recap videos, the Hall of Fame honoring thing, I think Kid Rock and the Pussycat Dolls are performing as well.

 

[Thriller Ant]

They've really been building up Kane like he's going to win this
