The Official WrestleMania 29 Thread aka Twice In A Lifetime (April 7)

It's in the Izod Center which is right by Metlife.

Going to Mania then Raw the next day. Highly suggest those going to Mania and will be NJ/NY the day afterwards get raw tix. Why not?

I'm in the 300s for the Mania seats but I got some decent Raw ones. Can't wait.

I dunno I just don't want my entire vacation to be centered around WWE. My cousin said he can get us from Times Square to Metlife in 15-20 mins I dunno how true that is but if so it makes RAW more tempting. But I dunno.. Iguess it depends on how I feel after Mania.

Tickets might be gone by then, but your cousin wasn't lying. The reason why WWE promotes this mania as NJ/NY is because it's literally at the tip of NJ. Like the tunnel that takes you to NY is RIGHT there.

EDIT: How long are you gonna be here for?

Cool, for some reason I thought it'd be a lot more difficult.

I know Taker has tons of miles but c'mon..dude can't work a 20-30 minute match with Punk or someone carrying him? I don't mean to sound like his injuries are BS cause I'm sure they aren't but he's literally worked once a year for the past three or so years.

To be fair, a lot of those tall dudes bodies break down a lot easier than normal people. Just look at every big man in the NBA not named Shaq

a bunch of wrestlemania news today:

- All talks of doing Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara at WrestleMania 29 have ended.

- No word yet if this is still the plan but the Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio WrestleMania 29 match was going to be built up with an armbreaker vs. ankle lock storyline.

- No confirmed word yet on what kind of actions, if any, WWE will take against Jack Swagger after his arrest on Tuesday night. The only thing we've heard is that they were considering "booking changes" which can't be good for Swagger.

- People close to Steve Austin believe that he will never wrestle again. If Austin is going to try for one more match, it will likely be at WrestleMania XXX in 2014 when he is 49 years old.

- The 2013 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony has sold out on Ticketmaster. No tickets are left but more are expected to be released as production for the event finalizes.

- Cyndi Lauper is said to be under consideration for induction into the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame.

Lauper's induction obviously wouldn't happen if another celebrity discussed gets inducted this year - Donald Trump. At one point, Trump was scheduled to be announced for this year's Hall of Fame on the February 18th RAW but obviously that didn't happen.

- As for Bruno's Hall of Fame inductor, WWE's top choice is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bruno and Arnold have been friends for over 40 years, when they worked out together in New York and California in the late 1960's early 70's. Bruno Sammartino was one of the judges of the Mr. Olympia contest that Schwarzenegger won and also they judged several bodybuilding contests together in later years.

They remain friends to this day and will be together in a few weeks when Bruno Sammartino is inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame that is part of the Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH on March 2nd.

What type of exhibits did they have?

i went to the one in phoenix but i imagine the one for new york would be much bigger but in phoenix they had all types of memorabilia on display, since bret had a match on the card they had a dungeon family display with brets equipment, owen's wrestling gear, british bulldogs personal gear, private family photos, an undertaker "graveyard" section with tombstones for all the people he's beaten at wrestlemanias, a display of HBGOAT's wardrobe, they had a section where you can film your own wrestling entrance with music & lights, championship belt display, they were giving away free merch nothing fancy though and of course several wrestlers and HOF'ers throughout the place taking pictures and autographs, they got a ring set up and do a couple matches and interviews, we got rey mysterio and jericho interviews that day.. they had several other things too but thats all i remember for now.

- WWE sources note that Jack Swagger was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29. No word yet on what his arrest means for booking plans but WWE creative was working late on Wednesday night to come up with ideas, which doesn't sound good for Swagger and Zeb Colter.

There's talk that if WWE officials saw fit to change the direction of the match, then Dolph Ziggler would most likely get the WrestleMania match with Del Rio.

If Swagger ends up suspended and loses the WrestleMania match, the arrest altogether would cost him upwards of $250,000.

looks like swagger was gonna get the full green light push


- The WWE Music Twitter account touted that "Coming Home" by Diddy is one of the WrestleMania 29 theme songs. Zack Ryder replied to their tweet with the following:

"It looks like I’ll be coming home…for catering"

How's it feel knowing that this entire year has been driving to one thing? All the angles. All the feuds. Everything. All driving towards Cena as champion again.

It feels like indigestion and a faint yet distinct pain in my balls, to be honest.

Was Dolph supposed to be the first guy to cash in unsuccessfully?
