I honestly think that if Cena turns heel (It seems that a large proprtion of the crowd want this so its more possible then I belived) then we could well see the return of the PG15 rating.
I won't say I will be unhappy about that TBH plus if (A BIG if) The Rock does return and he has to work to a PG instead of a PG15 rating he may as well stay in Hollywood.
Before anyone says it I never once mentioned the words 'Attitude Era' icon_wink.gif

The next rating level would be TV-14 (the rating TNA has)

(Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under 14 watch unattended.)

It used to be TV-13 but it was changed as the movie rating system has PG-13.

Ok then I clearly wrongly thought it was PG15 but my point still stands.
In that if Cena turns heel the rating will probably change because as far as I can see its only Cena's fanbase that is stopping it, With the folks Vince has brought back recently I think that he is maybe after a demographic change again.

On another note I wonder how shocked Tine Tempa was when he was asked about his song being used for wrestlemania.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



What a waste of time that was.

Given there was a good build for most of the matches, it all felt a little rushed in places.

And again what's the story with Miz/Cena/Rock? That's been a mix up from day 1, as there doesn't seem to be any clue as to who's playing what role.

"The Mail understands..." NOTHING! :SUBMISSION: :lol: [quote="-VIKINGMAN-"]Respect to Roofs, the president of East Hull. :wink:[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17371.jpg



Had a fantastic night watching it in a club in Hull, about 40-50 turned out (not bad IMO for that time on a Monday morning), superb atmosphere in there. k020.gif Here's my brief take on the show:

Edge v Del Rio: Great opening match, though IMO it's stupid having a heavyweight title match as the opener (and possibly devalues the title in some peoples' eyes?). Thought both guys did some good stuff, disappointed with ADR losing, although it was probably too early for him to win it anyway. What concerns me though with the clean defeat is that they have maybe already lost confidence (got bored) in him, which would be terrible if the case. icon_sad.gif

Rhodes v Mysterio: solid match, inventive work with the mask angle, and a sign that Rhodes does still have potential as a heel.

Went for a pee during the comedy stuff with Snoop Dogg so didn't really see much of it.

8 man tag match - waste of time, didn't see the point in it tbh.

Lawler v Cole - as a wrestling match I thought it was horrible tbh. Neither man's fault really, but if they were to have another match I think because of Cole's lack of experience they will need a lot of help (e.g. maybe making it a tag-team match to bring in a couple of good workers to mask Cole), to avoid the 'boring' chants that were circulating last night.

HHH v Taker: A stunning match IMO. Had some serious doubts about this one because of a) Taker's (alleged) declining physical condition due to all the injuries, and b) because IMO HHH is nowhere near the wrestler that HBK was. However, full marks to both guys for pulling of an outstanding battle which so many guys could learn from. The timing and psychology were incredible (e.g. the tombstone near-full by HHH, the desperate attempt to grab the sledgehammer whilst trapped in Hell's Gate, etc). An oustanding piece of work by both legends. a014.gif eusa_clap.gif

6 person tag: same as 8 man, can't remember much about it tbh

Cena v Miz: Poor really. As people have said on UKFF it was no better then Raw matches that there guys have, + IMO it was a dumb mistake putting this on last. Everyone knew that Taker v HHH would steal the show, so putting these two on at the end was repeating previous mistakes like WM18 where HHH and Y2J had to try and keep a crowd interested who had been burned out from the spectacle of Hogan v Rock. Therefore I felt sorry for Cena and Miz cos really they didn't stand a chance of having a memorable match.

Overall though I feel it was a great WM and I'm glad I watched it live.

However, here's something which really saddened me last night: WM27 confirmed to me what most people probably already knew - the WWE has little to no interest in all the belts (sorry, "championships" icon_rolleyes.gif icon_lol.gif ) except the two heavyweight titles, e.g. the US title match been (apparantly) relegated to a dark match, no tag-team title match, no Intercontinental match, hell, not even a Divas title match ffs. icon_eek.gif IMO WWE are making a grave error by putting no effort into all these belts. The 'secondary' titles could be such great attractions (e.g. like the Intercontinental title was years ago, and the tag-titles when contested between the Dudleys, E&C, the Hardy Boyz etc), and add so much entertainment and depth to the product, but they're clearly just not interested in them anymore. Shame. icon_sad.gif

Still, once again, I personally felt at 4am last night like I had been thoroughly entertained for 4 hours, so in that sense WWE is still the best at what they do, so fair play to them. eusa_clap.gif

There is no excuse in WM I agree but most PPV's dont have the time for all of em.

Quote: Roverswall "I would agree to a point but some of the problems are that they now have 2 copies of almost every belt.
Heavyweight belt

Well IMO creating a second heavyweight title in 2002 was a big mistake - there should only be one WWE Champion across the company, having two jokes means you have two belts with much less value individually then one overall champion.
There's only one set of tag-team titles now though mate since they unified the Raw and SD ones a while ago. Either way though I strongly feel personally that at least some of the belts could mean so much more if they placed more emphasis on them, e.g. when Mysterio and Matt Hardy had a superb main event match on SmackDown around 2003 for the Cruiserweight title, it made that title seem like a pretty big deal. That title doesn't even exist now. icon_sad.gif

Re WWE's target audience btw, apparantly a big factor in the move to PG was Mattel - they wanted WWE to become family-friendly if they were going to sign a five-year deal with them. They did do, and so for the next few years I can't see WWE changing this (and therefore risk losing the deal) because presumanly the Mattel deal is worth some serious cash.

WTF.
So they destroy the end of WM27 so they can sell WM28.
Unbelivable TBH.
