Wrestlemania 26! Do any pubs etc. screen WWE pay per views??

Tom_Jane · 25-03-2010, 08:24 PM

I would really love to see Wrestlemania this year but I dont have cable.

Does anyone know if any pubs etc. on the Gold Coast screen WWE pay per views?
Pubs always screen boxing pay per views so I thought it was a fair question to ask if any will be screening Wrestlemania 26.

UNDERTAKER 18-0!

Monday March 29 Wrestlemania, My workmate and I take an annual leave day each year for the event.

Wrestlemania and Burbon all day long.

I get my wife to drive my mates drunk *** home whe she gets home from work....Always a great day

I do think however Sean Micheals will break Takers Streak.
And I am so looking forward to seeing Brett Hart v Vince

Didnt think people took it this seriously. Being choreographed and all.

lol yeah I saw it, was on the edge of my seat.
Very disappointed now but awesome match.

pro wrestlers should stick to their RAW/smackdown etc scripts, movies like The Marine prove this theory.. The only good part about that movie was the red XD with its bonnet up at the 'gas station' (in qld)

XRSIKS · 02-04-2010, 08:00 AM

Could you imagine it at a pub....

"It's fake.."

"NO ITS NOT !!!! *stab*"

i know he'll be back in a year or so, hes too young, and he didnt get a farewell like Flair got on RAW.

the outcome of this match was easy to pick, Taker has the streak written into his contract, and HBK usually has 6 months off each year anyway, however i think this break will be at least a year

Like has already been said, its a soap opera for males.

Funnily enough the best wrestlers are not necessarily the ones that can actually wrestle. The best ones are the ones that can talk and act.

Take Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" He cannot wrestle for nuts...I mean honestly to waste time and throw a sweat band off his arm into the crowd, then wave his arms back and forth like he’s conducting and orchestra, runs from one side of the ring to the ropes, bounces back to the other side of the ring jumping his opponent lying in the middle of the ring, bounce off that rope, then stand over the opponent to drop his elbow "the peoples elbow" into his opponents chest.

Yes I am well aware that is fake......but tell you what; you listen to The Rock trash talk, now that is entertaining.

Please back me up any other fans

listening to these guys on the mike used to be awesome, now its too PG like everything else in our world. i still like watching the old stuff on youtube like the rock, flair, old DX, bobby heenan lol. i miss the old days.

im not as into WWE as much as i used to be, now TNA is a much better product, but they lack atmosphere due to the small crowds

Rember what the E stands for in WWE? Entertainment! If you go back through the last 20 years the biggest names were average wrestlers at best but great entertainers, Austin, Rock even the biggest name of all Hulk Hogan as a wrestler was terrible but as an entertainer was unmatched.

Its all about working the crowd, the only great wrestler and entertainer i can think of atm was Bret Hart.

I used to enjoy it. Back in the Steve Auston/Vince Mcmahon/Corporation/DX days of the WWF. I watched a bit these days and its all the same scenarios etc. You can pretty much predict the outcome before the match. OHS I think has taken way some of the really dangerous stunts. Its more of an acrobatic display now.

haha.
Unfortunately I can see that happening but it wouldn't be the guy defending WWE that pulls the knife.

Wrestling fans aren't violent people.
Take for example the Wrestlemania event I enquired about in my original post.
There was a strong anti Cena presense in the crowd. When Cena's match was over and he had won he walked over to those crowd members and leaned on them while gloating with his championship belt.
These people were wearing Cena sucks shirts and holding signs too, the funniest of which read "If Cena wins we riot demand refunds!"
Yet it was so obvious none of these people would ever wish actual harm on him. They were having the time of their life!

Awesome PPV. Started with Big Show knocking out that pretty boy John Morrison (lol).
And ended in Taker defeating HBK. And what a great match it was.
