I predict that we will have at least two celebrity appearances. America's Sweetheart Rhonda Rousey will put Stephanie MacMahon in a chicken wing. Just because. The League of Nations will turn on Shamus and do a beat down on him. Suddenly we hear Sinnead O'Connor singing The Foggy Dew, and Conor McGregor storms the ring and clears it of Foreign Bad Guys. Shamus holds Conor's hand high in triumph. They drop the cow. |

Wrestling has become too fake for me, I liked it better in the 80's when it was real……. |

I Lived in Memphis TN in the 60's and 70's Wrestling will never get better than that. |

Cosmicbank: I used to watch "Wrestling from Roanoke" sometimes back in the 60s. My favorite part was watching the Cub Scout troops clamoring for death. |

Yep the 60's and 70's were the happy time for the sport before big money ruined, it back when people did it because they loved it. |

Yes. It's a terrible thing when someone can make more than $200 USD a night for having steel chairs smashed into his head.
Who do they think they are? |

I doubt Ronda will be there, she's been rather subdued since Holm wiped her out. If she'd continued her run then she probably would have been involved. Rock will likely turn up in the main event, interfering either for/against Reigns. And finally, WWE will fudge the numbers to declare it a new attendance record. |

I remember watching it a bit in the 60s, on a grainy, black and white TV, as they fought in snowstorms in the ring (back before cable/satellite TV, when reception was really bad). Rarely, did adjusting the "rabbit ears" help much, but if you got someone to hold on to them for you, the picture got a little clearer. Even then, I could tell it was ridiculous, and fake. I was only about 5 – 8 years old at the time. Grandpa was a die-hard fan of the "sport". I have no idea why. Probably because there wasn't much else on TV, I suspect, and they lived in the sticks. |

Most guys are lucky to make $15 USD a night |

Yep back in the god old days when you could be killed on the job, and they just put another guy in the tights and back in the ring. A buddy of mines dad used to get 20 bucks every time he was throw from the ring. |

Six year old child: "I know wrestling is fake" Forty year old man: "I know wrestling is fake" Who do you have more respect for? |

I don't follow sports or wrestling,so I know I'm going to get clobbered for my ignorance, but I've always wondered: why doesn't professional wrestling bear the same relationship to HS/college wrestling that occurs with other sports? |

HvS, it's not professional wrestling. It's Big Time wrestling. |
