The time has arrived. For the 34th time in the storied history of the WWE and the professional wrestling world in general, WrestleMania, the show of shows, the showcase of the immortals, the grandaddy of 'em all, is upon us. One could spout superlatives for the next several lines, but you all know what day it is RUSEV DAY! - WrestleMania Sunday!

So sit back, try, and enjoy the however long they feel like it extravaganza. Cheer your favourites, lament those you think otherwise of and soak it all in, because this is our biggest show of the year. 13 matches (and one unconfirmed showdown), peppered throughout with championship gold. Like the circus there's something for everyone, whether it's the hardcore, strong style WWE Championship match, the spectacle of an MMA superstar making her debut in the squared circle, the emotional comeback of a beloved hero or the conquering of a Universal Championship, we've got you covered.

Have fun everyone!

Good luck trying to top takeover.

On paper, it looks like a fantastic card. From start to finish, this is going to be a marathon of a show and said show's energy could be thrown off by a lot of things like less than crowd friendly finishes, matches that shouldn't be too long going too long, matches that are too short that should've been longer and any "sports entertainment" segments that'll just make the show even longer than it needs to be.

Of course, there's little chance of topping TakeOver last night but, then again, that's pretty much par for the course when you get right down to it. It's difficult to top a show that includes one of the top ladder matches in all WWE history, the strongest storytelling outing from the NXT women since the days of Bayley vs. Sasha Banks, a stellar NXT Championship match that resulted in a title change and a 5 star classic from Gargano & Ciampa that had just about anything any sane wrestling fan could want.

I'll be there.

I'll be watching this.

Also, great title for this thread.

Way better theme for Wrestlemania. I might even take in all of the pre show to get a solid 7 hours of wrestling in tonight.

I shall be here and it shall be a fun time.

I'm pumped. Been up since 6 AM (CST of course).

Got snacks on lock, just waiting on the rest of my buds to pop in and us get everything situated.

Snacks: Check

Brain: Unsure. Do the whole 7 hours? Why the fuck not.
