Yeah, he definitely was a legend and a character that made the Undertaker character so special to see. He was a real life undertaker too.

I saw RoH in Houston. Saw Colt Cabana, Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson), Austin Aries, and more. 5th row. Cheap, too.
Also, you the same yankeesman on Hornets247?

Who's going to be in NYC this weekend?

Cool. Maybe we can grab a slice or catch part of a Hornets game if the flight cooperates.
man Paul Bearer's passing has made me sad, use to love him!!! Probably the most unique manager I've seen!
Memorable for the look and the face but the best manager of all time will and always will be Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. But yeah, wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Also going to the Hall of Fame on Saturday Night. Can't wait to pop my wrestlemania cherry.
We'll be at the Garden as well.
On the way to met life stadium. Section 327. It's gonna be awesomeeeee!!!!!
So what did everyone think of the show tonight? Punk/taker best match of the night by far. With that said though, everything was predictable and underwhelming. If there was ever a time for a "Russo swerve " it was tonight, but nothing happened. 5.5/10 and that's being generous.
I watched it at the Fox N Hound with about 15 other people in our group. This was my first time watching Mania in a bar setting since I went to 27 and 28. I'm happy the Shield won, but the Big Show turning back heel was so predictable and laughable if you really think about it. I, among others, was hoping Orton would turn heel, so I hope it is still in the cards. Ryback/Henry was fine with what they could do. Ryback keeps losing which makes me scratching my head. He's been built up as a monster, but since October, has really tapered off. Was hoping Ziggler/Big E would won, but Hell No came out victorious.
Fandango/Jericho was fine. Jericho put over Fandango; which is what Jericho is there for now, to put over younger stars. Gotta give credit to Johhny Curtis for embracing the Fandango gimmick and getting himself over the way he is. Vince loves the character so get ready to see more Fandango. Surprised they gave ADR/Swagger over 10 minutes and was hoping Swagger would win, but I understand why Swagger would lose (with the looming court date and all). They could have done a Ziggler cash-in but to no avail.
Taker/Punk was fantastic and easily the match of the night. It is rumored Punk will take some time off after this match and he definitely needs it. He is burnt out and he could use some much-needed rest and time off. As for the rest of the card, my interest in the show dwindled quickly and I feel the crowd felt the same way.
Brock/HHH worked their tails off, but the crowd, or myself, never recovered from Taker/Punk. Was hoping HBK would cause HHH the match somehow, but HHH got his win back from SSlam. I don't think this loss hurt Brock, but it didn't help. And who is left to face HHH now? I would've been fine with a retirement.
Rock/Cena started very, very slow for me, but got exciting towards the end. I really hope they do not do a Rock/Cena III because 2 matches is just enough and tonight showed it. It was obvious Cena would win, but was hoping for some kind of turn from Cena. If not heel, just show some edge for petes sake! His character is just so bland and stale. He needs to be refreshed. On the ramp, it seemed like Rock passed the torch, but Cena has been the guy for 10+ years so that pose from Rock and Cena on the ramp seemed pointless to me. They had the chance to turn Cena twice tonight (in the ring and on the ramp), but did not act on it.
Overall, I enjoyed the first two hours, but after Taker/Punk, I just lost interest. It was a huge mistake to have your three big money-making matches back-to-back-to-back. It burned out viewers, and it obviously burned out the live crowd.

Wrestlemania.....watched it live on ppv at a friends......underwhelmed.........they need some new exciting talent.....the youngsters are lacking
Liking the Ryback heel turn right now. Something fresh and different than Cena and Orton on my tv. Big fan of Sandow. My early pick to win MITB. Shame they bumped his 8 person tag off the card. Hope he still got his WM pay bonus.
But I agree the youngsters are lacking. Rock, Taker, HHH, Brock, etc part-timers aren't gonna be around forever.
Not helping Cena against The Shield last monday definitely screams heel turn at least that's as to how they are trying to position it from the words of Vince McMahon through Cole's headset. Hardcore smart fans don't like Cena because there's no vulnerability. Ryback though after constantly losing on big platforms like PPV's need some heat under him and it's a good start but they definitely need more for him for other people to take him seriously.
Very interesting! Another gossip I study these days is a primary purpose WWE would keep it down here is the apparent tax smashes.
