WM17 was at the perfect time just as WWE subsumed ecw and wcw. It was right at the end of the last golden age of wrestling. My other favourite Mania was 6 purely for nostalgia reasons as was the first one I ever saw way back in 1990.
All Out 2021 is right up there with those and Heatwave 98, One Night Stand 2005 and Double or Nothing 2019 as the best the industry has produced.

Still rate Summerslam 2000 and 2002 very highly as well.
The WWE/ECW December to dismember is probably the worst PPV they have put on apart from the opening tag match

WM17 is just stacked with talent at or close to their peak.
Jericho opening?
Benoit vs Angle in the midcard?
Come on!

Best wwf pay per views for me were wrestlemania 7 just got the warrior vs macho king match. Wrestlemania 8 for flair vs macho man and piper vs Bret, summerslam 91 for perfect vs Bret and boss man vs the Mountie and royal rumble 92 for flair being amazing. You were hard pushed to get more than two decent matches back then, but the decent matches were epic. Not really watched wrestling since the the Monday night wars but I do remember when Jericho, Eddie, Benoit, regal, big show etc. All crossed over and the wwf card was stacked with talent.

That's good cause the designs looked dreadful. Like that Legends game released on Xbox/PS2

Zayns also up in January and Owens teased Mount Rushmore in a now deleted tweet

If El Generico quits work at the orphanage in Tijuana and comes back to pro wrestling it will be immense.

Think Zayn will definitely leave but Owens could go either way

Owens twitter location has now been changed to 'Almost there'
Guy has been wasted. Remember when they claimed they wanted to make him the next Steve Austin

Thing is, they don't want the next Austin or Rock. WWE is now the draw in and of itself, by design. It's why everyone feels like midcarders I reckon...other than a few attitude/early 2000s remnants who all are big guys (Goldberg, Brock, Orton, Cena)

Yeah Vince has said the marquee reads WWE not Hogan/Rock anymore
Also, some people who are either trolls or utter virgins have started a Stand Up For WWE campaign that I genuinely can’t tell if its a pisstake or not

That Creed tag team of angry jocks is the future, isn’t it?
They were such late-period Power Plant (without the roids)

Sounds like Triple H has had a heart attack

If anything by the statement it's something damaged the heart muscle.
Still good to read he's expected to make a full recovery.

Guess him being unwell was too good an opportunity for Vince to rip apart NXT etc.

So they wanted to Have Cole move to the main roster and become Keith Lee's Manager. Can't think why he left....

Hmmm looks more smackdown than no mercy.... Stick a wwe licence on it and it could be any yukes game from the past 10-15 years. No mercy was all about paced match build up and stiff animations that made the moves, strikes etc seem real. I’m not seeing any of that here, just yukes yuking it. I hope I’m wrong though

Still looks a long way away but character models look much better than when it was announced. Apart from Jungles hair. It's 2021 how comes they still can't do good looking hair?
