STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE today announced that Skylar Grey, Kid Ink and Travis Barker will take the stage at WrestleMania 31 on Sunday, March 29, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Travis Barker? No thanks.

 

[Vince McDonald]

Or better yet, they could just have Khali sing for an hour and a half.

Wowser, that's going to be one long piss break.

Is this why WM starts at such a "special" time of one hour earlier? Not impressed

That could be the reason. But I'll be skipping the musical performances very gladly.

Can we all just agree that half of Wrestlemania will consist of absolutely horse crap and talk about how jet fuel can't melt steel beams?

Of course we can agree on that :

Even Sami Zayne knows that bush did 9/11

I don't get Stardust vs Goldust or Miz vs Mizdow 'cuz we gotta have some singing. On the biggest WRESTLING show of the year. I mean, live entrance performances are great but this makes no sense. If you insist on getting some singing in, at least give me some people I actually give a shiot about *cough cough* Imagine Dragons.

What a random assortment of musical guests.. Travis Barker a formerly coked out drummer, Skylar Grey some random chick who I don't care much about, David Guetta.. not gonna touch that one with a 10 foot pole.. and Kid Ink? Who the hell is booking these musical performances and why do they even have musical performances in the first place other than the National Anthem?

 

[Prince Bálor]

Apparently they seem to care more about their musical performances than booking Mania to be a top notch event. Oh, well...

 

[Trip in the Head]

IMO any musical performances at WM should be the performing of someone's intro song. That's it, period.
