WWE WrestleMania XXVIII Preview & Live Discussion Thread

[Cyrus Riddle]

I've always been a fan of the Toronto crowds, I love the energy they bring to the shows.

Trump Plaza for IV and V was definitely the worst. Most of the people there were just drunk-ass gamblers that didn't know a thing about wrestling.

Too true. Even though the actual Manias weren't that bad the crowds were shit.

They definitely weren't the worst 'Mania's from a match perspective, though not many of the matches were amazing in and of themselves, but the crowd hurt it so much I have a hard time watching them now. The thing that I don't get is that Vince knew TP wasn't a good venue after WM IV, so why the hell did he have V there as well? I guess Donald was paying him a ton of dough to host the event there, and greed rules the world.

For sure. It's just like how WM is at MetLife Stadium next year. He must have got a lot of money considering WM XXX has to be at MSG which is in pretty much the same area. I honestly would love to see a WM in Vancouver. They have it all now. A renovated stadium that could easily hold up to 60,000, a huge convention centre that could hold Axxess, a 6,000 seat theatre bowl at Rogers Arena for the HOF ceremony, and then the actual Rogers Arena can hold 20,000+ for Raw the next night. The crowd would be great. WWE needs to pull the trigger for Vancouver sooner than later.

Seriously, the story for Michaels/Jericho is one of the best I've ever seen.

Ah, so THAT'S how they're gonna hang the Cell. Good shit. I like it a lot. I'm sure it'll look even better on PPV. It always does.

Is 'Mania going to be open roof again this year? If so, sweet. That always add a little special feeling to the show somehow for me. I'm scheduled to work this Sunday during the show, I need to find someone to switch shifts with ASAP! Also I hate being so close to the show and not knowing how I'm going to watch it for the second year in a row, unable to order the PPV on TV this year and I don't want to risk it on a stream....

Right there with ya on that.

The one thing that I don't like about Wrestlemania being in open roof stadiums is that you can barely hear the crowd noise because the roofs open and the noise just goes up. I'm sure it'll be loud as hell when you're there live, but I don't think it'll come off that way on TV.

The WrestleMania XXIV atmosphere was great. So I expect this to be the same.

Never said the atmosphere won't be great but at 'Mania XXIV, you can see that the crowd was pumped but you really couldn't hear them that well because it was an open roof stadium.

I heard them boo pretty loud when Edge speared Undertaker.

Talking to my friend yesterday, going over to his house to watch it and eat some pizza and drink some beer (well beer for him). It is going to be our man date that we haven't had in a long time.

We are on opposite sides of damn near every match. He is all for Rock, I am Cena; he is Undertaker, I am Triple H; he is team Cody, I am Show etc... It is going to be fun.
