Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Does anyone know if the WWE Wrestlemania 2007 will be shown on ppv over virgin media? I've only used on-demand for a few tv shows so wasn't sure if they still showed sporting events like wrestling?

Thanks,
mark.

Nice one thanks!

Will be watching this on the PJ! Think the 'Hair Match' is a bit weak though...

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

One thing will happen in Wrestlemania - Undertaker keeps his record. 14-0 becomes 15-0

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Yeah it is a bit ****. Stone Cold as referee will be good though.

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

stone cold as ref will make this years wrestlemania

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

How much do the PPVs cost btw?

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

PPVs cost £14.95, and I can't wait to see Mcmahon lose his hair

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

yeah £15 a go alot if you add up the ones available per year X 8 ushally on ppv

and if vince does lose his hair be lucky way he cheats ?

You do know it's all fake don't you?

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Of course it's fake, but who cares, in my opinion it's great entertainment, love watching it with my kids... WWE must be doing something right, it's being on the tele for a long time now....

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

I know what you mean but I wouldn't call it fake, is Eastenders fake?, what about Coronation St?. Now you're thinking people aren't hurt by blood comming out, what about the Saw?, how about Final Destination - where all those people are killed?

Thats why they call it Sports-Entertainment :)

'American Wrestling' is pretty much a modern-day morality play - the good guys don't always win and surprising things always happen. I'd like to think Shakespeare would appreciate it. Things have improved since they toned down the amount of steroids/muscle enhancers in the WWE - you only have to look at the change in Batista to see that!

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

yea i agree remember a while ago chris masters was out for a bit due to steroids he came back and looked realy small now he seems to have beefed up again.;)

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Yes, the man responsible for inventing most words in the English language, the man who had a vocabulary of some 29,000 words...I'm sure lowest common denominator entertainment such as WWE would have thrilled him to his very core. :dozey:

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Don't go over-glamourising Shakespeare - he boiled down average pot-boiler plots into something the masses could understand and get behind. The reason his works have survived is they were *so* accessible to the masses and were therefore preserved. Nowadays we have a very distorted perception of the theatre as entertainment for the better-off, whereas Bill made his mark appealing to the average man in the street. And he certainly didn't invent most of the English language - we nicked most of that from the Norse and Germanic countries.

Anyway, Cena for the win!

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

That may be true, but as an individual I doubt he would have enjoyed Wrestlemania. Why am I arguing this point? Ah well.

So, wrestlemania...who is the best wrestlemaniac nowadays? Bushwhackers?

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Moved to Entertainment.

You'll find out exactly how 'fake' wrestling once you try it. Until then, just appreciate what the guys do.

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Ah - they were excellent though i preferred Nobbs and Saggs of the Nazty Boys (or was it with a 'z' - I imagine so)....

I expect Papa Shango to taste victory ;-)

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

I've never tried it but they say it's tougher than UFC, I'm sure you've all heard of UFC?

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

And for anyone that hasn't

Here's the wikipedia entry

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

I don't know about tougher, I'd suggest it's just as tough but in a different way. The risks are high but again, in a different form.

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

I had seen a little DVD about the training the WWE wrestlers do and it's quite intense. And UFC sometimes broadcast the training their fighters do and it's not that intense. Some former WWE (WWF) wrestlers are on UFC also, some say because they couldn't hack the training regime in the WWE.

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Some people say you have to have a few screws loose to put yourself through the training a wrestler endures.

I'd agree with that.

Re: Wrestlemania on Sunday 1st April 2007?
 

Nice one Sherlock. While asking a daft and irrelevant question to try and patronise and show the ignorance of someone else, you've revealed yourself to be more ignorant than anyone.

Is that his real name :shocked: :D
