Ira Gaines Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, NotThePars said: I remember really enjoying Sheamus’s matches with Mark Henry. Sheamus is one of the few guys that probably hits hard enough to have an effect in fairness. Henry was terrific in that entire run. They basically just had him steamroll two rosters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hogan hosting Mania with Titus O’Neil, because of course. Shades of Father Ted's attempts to prove to the Craggy Island Chinese community that he wasn't a racist. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Mania just got shitter then. This 'guest host' pish is just a way of croebarring in legends to increasingly diminishing returns since they've refused to make any new stars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think having Hogan as guest host for 30 worked in that it was just him turning up essentially to have that great opening segment with Rock and Austin. But obviously that was prior to the...troubles. I wouldn't even be that mad in them using him in certain things, as he's clearly a huge part of their history, and he's "apogised", but putting him front and centre to your biggest show like nothings happened, when fairly prominent members of your roster have been pretty clear about their feelings on him...obviously not a good look. Will be very interesting to see the reception he gets. First show back with fans, and you plan to open with him. Jeezo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Austin asked the crowd if he wanted to open up a can of whoop ass on Hogan, I think everyone genuinely wanted to see it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hogan was in the ring on the mic and the glass shattered for Austin’s entrance music must be the loudest crowd pop in WWE/F ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 30 was just brilliant, probably the best Mania ever. Watched it at Walkabout in Glasgow with the big screen upstairs, great times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sadly closed now I believe) 28 minutes ago, Mark Connolly said: 5.18 for Hogan pretending he's not bothered by the pop Austin got The tv coverage doesn’t do the crowd pop for Austin justice. There’s a couple of videos from fan’s in attendance on YouTube and the noise is incredible. Unfortunately the one particular fan video I was thinking of I can no longer find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pops for Austin and Rock were just amazing and the place was buzzing after that for the whole event. Definitely a big reason why 30 is my favourite Mania, although that the event itself was brilliant (great matches, well paced, incredible fan reactions and possibly the happiest Mania ending ever) helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Watching that clip made me really miss fans, in that scale. Hopefully next year is more like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
