WWE Wrestlemania XXVII on Virgin Media channel 0

mattboothers · 26-03-2011, 22:35

Well the time is almost here again and as many of you probably know last year Virgin Media messed up big time and forgot or didnt know that Wrestlemania aired live at 12am instead of 1am.

Hopefully this wont happen this year as the clocks are going forward a week early instead as on the same weekend like last year.

But if a similar thing happens this year and it says the event starts at 12:45am instead of 23:45pm, Virgin Media will loose money to send to Sky like last year when they refunded nearly everyone.

I've not watched wrestling for years however I watched The True Story of Wrestlemania earlier this week. Brought back some good memories. It's got me thinking about ordering the PPV for old time's sake.

Kayfabe was the unwritten rule that wrestlers should maintain their characters / persona at all times to maintain the reality for fans. This has been relaxed somewhat in the past 15 years.

In the 1980's the NWA would put all of their heels (bad guys) in 1 hotel before a show and all the faces (good guys) in another. They wouldn't even allow them to travel on the same plane etc...

I don't watch wrestling these days but still admire it's colourful, gritty and often humorous history.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H (No Holds Barred Match) is the true main event.

Do you think The Undertaker should ever lose his streak at Wrestle Mania or should it be allowed to continue until the Dead Man retires? Personally I'd hate to see him lose it. Nobody else will ever get streak like his. It's all part of the Wrestle Mania magic.
