From this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
> At press time, WrestleMania had 85,000 tickets out for $13.5 million, both records. There have been virtually no primary outlet sales in the last week because almost no tickets are left. There may be some seats released at the last minute after production is moved in and seats are opened, but the real attendance figure won’t be much above this figure. At press time on Stubhub, you can get a standing room party pass for $21 and the cheapest actual seat would be $175. Stadium officials have noted that as far as local promotion goes, not even the Super Bowl was as well promoted on a local basis. All the WWE events as well as many of the other promotion events are sold out.
> The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which had been advertised for the USA Network, has at this point been moved to the main show, from 7 p.m. and ending somewhere between 11 p.m. and 11:20 p.m., as PPV providers have been alerted the show may last longer than the planned four hours.
> With all the advertising done, the company never once on television promoted Steve Austin being there. Austin, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels were scheduled for cameos on the original scripting of the show. John Cena was expected on it. Dwayne Johnson has been advertised for the show, but his role has been kept quiet. Due to insurance reasons regarding the filming of “Baywatch,” he was not allowed to wrestle on the show, although one would expect a promo and a people’s elbow. There may be surprise cameos. Nothing has been said regarding Ronda Rousey, who appeared last year and the company was hopeful would be in a headline role this year. Dana White had said last year was a one-time thing, and UFC, which has Rousey under contract, would have to approve of her appearing. At first she couldn’t be there due to filming a movie, but the filming was pushed back to May, so now it’s a matter of whether UFC would allow her to appear.

> The 32-man Global Cruiserweight Tournament that will air on Wednesday nights, starting 7/13, on the WWE Network at 9 p.m., right after NXT, is expected to be filmed in its entirely from 6/20 to 6/24 at Full Sail University in Orlando. They will be taping two episodes per night over the five nights, with the finals airing on 9/14. The plan is to make this the first of what would be an annual tradition with the company. At this point the qualifying matches are all to be taped, but probably not air in their entirety on the WWE Network as at this point production is of the belief that no WWE production people will be involved in shooting the qualifiers and they will just use the footage that the promotion itself would be filming.
> What’s noted is that Revolution Pro does have a relationship with both New Japan and ROH, and that’s where things can get sticky. Revolution Pro has brought the biggest New Japan stars to the U.K. and were instrumental in Will Ospreay getting his New Japan deal, as Ospreay is geared for a push there due to his being introduced by Kazuchika Okada and being added to the Chaos stable. It will be interesting how politics play out since ROH is obviously looked at as a competitor to NXT and it’s pretty much inherent that New Japan and WWE are going to be major competitors in the Japanese market going forward, not to mention WWE stripped New Japan of four major stars in January.

> At this point all the inductees for the regular Hall of Famers have been announced. Big Bossman will be inducted by Ken Johnson, who was his manager, Slick, during his first heel run in the late 80s. The others are Ric Flair for Sting, which is a good choice; Vader for Stan Hansen, which is a weird choice (Ted DiBiase or John Laurinaitis are closer to the company and would be better, but Vader they may see as a bigger name); New Day for the Freebirds, John Layfield and Ron Simmons for Charles Wright and The Dudleys for Jacqueline Moore. The Dudleys make sense because she and the Dudleys were tight in TNA.
> Even though New Japan has been struggling some at the gate this year, the 4/10 Invasion Attack is almost sold out with only a few 5,500 yen seats left. The 4/23 Korakuen Hall show is sold and 4/24 is almost sold out
> What is likely the reason Steve Corino is replacing Matt Striker on commentary for Invasion Attack is because Lucha Underground will be taping that weekend

This means the Divas will get a 25 minute classic! YES! They finally got their chance.

No it's not.
Mania has always been a four hour show.
The pre-show that features those four matches is two hours.

Do you guys think Roman could stand to bulk up? Even if he doesn't take off the vest, just increasing his overall size.
I think it would go a long way to making him believable, and could be one of the hurdles to being truly accepted by marks.
Currently, he's just booked far larger than he actually is. What I mean by that is he'll trade blows with guys like Sheamus, Harper and Rowan, take three of their hits, dish out one and they'll be the ones selling.
It's just silly. I know wrestling perches itself upon the suspension of belief, but in those cases it warrants that the people can deliver on it and do something great outside what is reasonable.
Roman can't. It's just entirely on his opponents to sell and it looks ridiculous for it. If he was a great stiff worker, I'd dig it. But he's not.

Is there any way to learn martial arts or a few self defense moves by myself? I can't really afford lessons and there's not a lot of gyms and dojos since I live rural.
I'm just looking to learn a few things for defense I just want some quick cheap moves that end a fight quick since I never really go looking for a fight. I kind of want to learn darker shit like grabbing someone's arm mid punch and use my other arm to snap their arm the wrong way or be able to go into someone with a punch when they grab my shirt or do one of those sick ass kicks that knocks someone the fuck out before they can even reach you. Not sure if I want a specific art or just a few quick techniques to make sure I can at least beat the average person with no training but can fight good still.

Played WWE2K16. Didn't enjoy it very much so I booted up Here Comes the Pain since it's the last wrestling game I remembered playing years agon. It's really fun.
Are there any games in between that I should try or was Here Comes the Pain the most fun?

WWE 13 and 2k14 are good. Smackdown vs Raw 2006 was good, 2011 was OK. That's about it.
Is HBK the GOAT?
