Turn on chat for Wrestlemania yeah. Will be the same as football. It will be epic.

Which plebs were talking about Starcraft ffs?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Lol Firenze.... the reason i was going to get it and the only reason was to watch all the old PPVs lol.

WWE doing the Nintendo Virtual Console trick

And WM on chat would be legit.

When my main man Christian interferes in Bryan's match and Bryan jobs for him for the next 6 months

[Tomwin Lannister]

Christian will be lucky to make it on the card, will be a poverty match against Sheamus to get the crowd un-hyped before a legit match.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Where did i say anything about making the card?   

[Tomwin Lannister]

He isn't high profile enough to interfere in a total divas show.

[Onyx]

Nah I don't pay for PPV's. I just connect my laptop to the TV using HDMI.

Although I'll buy WM as usual though.

TNA's recent tour of the UK gave Kurt Angle a ton of magazine exposure, which he exploited by continuing his efforts to lobby for a WWE return in the autumn after his contract with TNA expires, a campaign he started in late January.

The desire to return to WWE may strike some as odd, given his recent admission to the UK's Fighting Spirit Magazine that he was depressed and addicted to alcohol, prescription painkillers and Xanax for much of his run there, but he blames that on the dawning realisation soon after he won his Olympic Gold medal that he would never be able to match that amazing achievement whatever he did and sinking into a deep, long lasting depression:

"Spending my time in WWE didn’t do anything for me. Going to TNA to try and build this new company didn’t do it for me. And even having all those five-star matches meant noting to me. I didn’t enjoy any of it. I realized in rehab that I was taking drugs and drinking alcohol not because I needed it, but because I was depressed and wanted to hide the pain. But what pain do I really have, besides my neck? I can deal with that; physical pain is nothing to me. It’s the emotional pain. I put myself in that position. I’ve now realized that nothing I do is going to match my gold medal, and what I need is to enjoy what I do, and know that I’m very good at it."

Now thinking much more clearly, after undergoing WWE sponsored rehabilitation and being six months sober, he's refound his love for pro wrestling and wants to finish his career on a high note.

Although he thanked Dixie Carter for letting him keep his job while he went to rehab, he obviously realises that the shrinking company is unable to let him bow out in the manner he desires. Whatever loyalty he had to TNA seems to have been extinguished by the last two years of being downplayed in favour of other stars, as he voiced his frustrations with the past direction of his character to FSM:

"For the last two years, until I started my program with Bobby Roode, they didn’t do one thing with me. I didn’t have a storyline. I didn’t have a title run. I was just treading water. I was waiting for something to happen, and nothing happened. Then I got vocal, and nothing happened. It’s good that we have new people in, both in creative and in talent relations."

He also criticised TNA for failing to utilise Samoa Joe the right way for the past four years and implored him to go somewhere else if his push doesn't improve, which is something he'd likely have held his tongue about in the past in public.

Perhaps upping the ante of the high stakes poker game being played between the two sides, Angle was rumoured to be telling people at the recent Arnold Classic that his return to WWE was a done deal and he would be back in their fold come September, which is likely news to Stephanie McMahon and the rest of her family.

Although there is believed to be some interest on WWE's part for Angle's services, they realise how unlikely he would be to ever pass their stringent physicals due to his serious neck problems and thus he would have to be used in a non-wrestling capacity like a trainer at their performance centre or a road agent. However, that doesn't seem to be the role Angle craves given all his talk about wanting a few more five star matches with the likes of Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Triple H and Brock Lesnar before he hangs his boots up.

[Onyx]

Angle returning would be best for business. Would add some star power to the roster.

[M99]

Some of the reasons for CM Punk's abrupt exit are coming out. Speculation has long been that both physical and mental burnout contributed to Punk leaving, but it is being said that there wasn't a specific injury at play which caused him to leave. Additionally, a major source of his issues with the company has been traced back to when he first learned that Batista was set to win the Royal Rumble. Punk did not feel that Batista was in good enough ring shape to justify giving him a headlining match at WrestleMania over guys, such as Punk, who had been there year round. The straw that finally broke the camel's back may have been when Punk found out that he would not only be wrestling Triple H at WrestleMania XXX, but was being booked to lose the match.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

How can having an 5 star match with Bryan be possible when he's a B+ player

Angle doe

Getting him back is what's best for business IMO.

[Onyx]

Kayfabe wise Triple H was also B+ compared to the likes of Austin and Rock. If he didn't marry into the family, he'd probably be C+.

[M99]

And Bryan has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

That's BS lol.

HHH was headlining WM long before he even got together with Stephanie..... hell he was headline WMs during the attitude era

Man is legit, people are just jelly of his brilliance

[Tomwin Lannister]

Lol HHH was the top heel for aaaaaaaaaages

Also, how much does WM cost these days

I remember shitty PPVs cost like 15 quid not long ago

You sure u wanna pay 50 quid for WM when u could get 2 pizzas, have 30 quid left and watch it online.

[Onyx]

About £18 I think on Sky Box Office.

[Tomwin Lannister]

F*ck no. Paying nearly £5 an hour for that, jesus the minimum wage isn't that much higher.

for that much money i'd want AJ to jump out of the TV and show me a good time after WM was finished.

[Onyx]

Costs about 50 dollars in America, so a bit cheaper here. Usual PPV prices are like £15.

[M99]

Wrestlemania airs in my TV 12 hours from it's running time. If I want to watch it with you guys with GOAT chat then I'm gonna need some of those 1080p streams

[Tomwin Lannister]

Normally there's plenty of solid streams, RG has one that's like HD but I forgot the name of it.

[zizzle]

Why does HHH need to go over Punk at this point of his career ?

[Onyx]

Going into Monday's RAW from Chicago, there have been hardly any real discussions between CM Punk and WWE officials. We noted last night that there's a feeling within WWE that he's done with wrestling.

It was made clear on Monday that Punk was not coming to RAW and it was made clear that as far as he's concerned, he's done with pro wrestling.

Whether that means he's done for now, for a year or until his WWE contract expires, nobody knows and if they're close to Punk and they do know what he's planning for the future, they're not talking.

[RealGunner]

And Bryan has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster

lol wtf

Cena has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster since HBK. More than HHH even.

[RealGunner]

Normally there's plenty of solid streams, RG has one that's like HD but I forgot the name of it.

I got this. Last year I found a legit stream where you could see Rock sweating in HD. I'll hunt for same this year

[zizzle]

Luckly ill be in the US during wrestlemania coz streaming it on a 56k connection is not funny

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

And Bryan has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster

lol wtf

Cena has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster since HBK. More than HHH even.

Lol no, HHH matches with Taker and The Rock shit all over anything from anyone on the current roster.

And that's like 2% of his great matches catalogue lol.

I will not have this Hunter disrespect continue, his body of work is up there with any Wrestler of the last 20 years ffs

[Lex]

And Bryan has more 5 star matches than anyone in the roster
