How much life will this 2 night stuff have in it? 13 matches into 7-8 hours. The amount I skip on Monday is absolute insanity....

But I guess they keep selling out both nights... which is the money maker.

2 nights makes so much more sense and is easier to deal with than one night of 7 hours. They've done it for about three years now and it's more manageable

Watching 4 hours on Sunday and 4 on Monday is way more manageable

Tbh the previous couple I've lost interest half way through the Sunday card, and that's despite them being decent enough shows.

Although it does give everyone a spot without having to rush and compromise on the quality of the matches, so don't think its JUST a money thing in terms of the benefit. They've been much better shows than a few of the garbage Manias that preceeded them.

Mania nights match splits announced on ESPN (not sure if the order means anything, probably not)

Night 1:

John Cena VS Austin Theory

Men's Tag Team Showcase Match

Seth Rollins VS Logan Paul

Becky, Lita & Trish VS Damage Ctrl

Rey Mysterio VS Dominik Mysterio

Rhea Ripley VS Charlotte Flair

KO & Sami vs Usos

Night 2:

Brock Lesnar VS Omos

Women's Tag Team Showcase Match

Drew Mcintyre VS Sheamus VS Gunther

Bianca Belair VS Asuka

Edge VS Finn Balor

Cody Rhodes VS Roman Reigns
When you see it like that it's actually stacked as hell. Only real thing I don't like is Brock is completely wasted. If he was in there with Gunther you got an out of this world card.

Nah I much prefer Lesnar used for spectacles like this. Gunther would be wasted on Lesnar outside of possibly going over him. It would be the same paint by numbers match for Lesnar. Gunther against Drew and Sheamus should be absolutely quality.

True, easy to forget Lesnars matches are more miss than hit these days (despite him being the GOAT seller), Id love him to have another match like the one with AJ.

Night 1:

John Cena VS Austin Theory - makes no sense for Cena to win

Men's Tag Team Showcase Match - don't even know who is in it, Street Profits or Vikings if they are

Seth Rollins VS Logan Paul - Paul winning this makes no sense

Becky, Lita & Trish VS Damage Ctrl

Rey Mysterio VS Dominik Mysterio

Rhea Ripley VS Charlotte Flair - doubt they'll do 3 title changes

KO & Sami
vs Usos - most over guys right now, they have to win

Night 2:

Brock Lesnar VS Omos - couldn't give a shit

Women's Tag Team Showcase Match - no idea who is in it, raquel rodriguez if she is

Drew Mcintyre VS Sheamus VS Gunther - drew or sheamus costs it for the other

Bianca Belair VS Asuka - as much as I want Asuka to win, I don't think she will

Edge VS Finn Balor

Cody Rhodes VS Roman Reigns - would be stupid not to have him win


Isn't there also the Andre The Giant thing though?

To be fair, if you take all the absolute shite in it - which they can get away with due to the fact it's on the Network now so buyrates kind of pointless as people obviously background watch - then it's only like 4 hours or whatever, in line with forever. But yeah, we live in a day where we've got like 10 things going if we're at home watching.... so absolutely, it works. They could probably do it with more PPV's too. It's not like MITB would of struggled to sell out 2 nights in the UK given how in demand it was.

I'll watch Saturday, but I expect to actually be giving the show my attention for at most 90 minutes of the 4 hours... which is what I expect to trim Sunday down to when watch on Monday.

Really enjoying the change from the Blackpool Country Club to the Blackpool Combat Club. Love a good heel stable tearing up the show.

Mania predictions:


Night 1:

John Cena VS Austin Theory - Reckon Cena wins by DQ but Theory retains of course. Pointless if they make Cena champ

Men's Tag Team Showcase Match - Street Profits - Not fussed with this one

Seth Rollins VS Logan Paul - Not fussed with this one

Becky, Lita & Trish VS Damage Ctrl - Hoping Damage Ctrl lose and they end this faction and all three of them go solo

Rey Mysterio VS Dominik Mysterio - This one just feels predictable to me that they are going to let the recent inducted HoF fella win on his memorable weekend

Rhea Ripley
VS Charlotte Flair - Deserves an opportunity to be a champ

KO & Sami vs Usos - As predictable as it comes

Night 2:

Brock Lesnar VS Omos - Not fussed with this one

Women's Tag Team Showcase Match - Rousey & Baszler - Not fussed with this one

Drew Mcintyre VS Sheamus VS Gunther - This one could go either ways but I’m hoping for Drew to win

Bianca Belair VS Asuka - Backing Asuka to win & won’t be surprised if they make this a long running feud with Belair unexpectedly turning heel

Edge VS Finn Balor - I’d rather see Finn win but won’t be surprised if the producers/writers have Edge coming out on top. As long as this overdrawn storyline ends, the better.

Cody Rhodes
VS Roman Reigns - As predictable as it comes

Konnan and Rey's speeches were excellent.

Overall actually one of the better HOFs and worth a watch.

4 of those weren't even on the 2000 show either. :wenger:

Charlotte/Rhea are the image on the Network thing, is that now gonna be the main event? Seems wild to end on Rhea, who's probably more over than Charlotte anyway, despite her insane evil gimmick.

The video package they just used for Dom/Try, looks as if they used Auschwitz.

Someone's getting sacked.
