- Lilian Garcia has launched a new website for her new band LTV at LTVMusic.com. They will be performing at Dodgers Stadium this weekend for the Susan G. Komen event that Lilian is representing WWE at.

- Regarding WWE bringing veterans like Rhyno and The Brian Kendrick to NXT, the idea is that new talents will improve faster by working with the more experienced guys. This is similar to what Jim Ross did with Ohio Valley Wrestling years ago when it was a developmental territory. WWE may be bringing more veterans to NXT soon.

- Ticket sales for WrestleMania 31 have picked up since the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar main event was made official after Fastlane. Comped tickets are well down from 2014 and the pace of ticket sales is said to be slightly ahead of WrestleMania XXX at this time.

Maybe for you and Bryan's other 4 fans, but the rest of the wrestling world is ready to see Roman take his belt away from Lesnar. And.............






turn heel but that would be a bonus.

*waits for everyone to make excuses since Roman looks good in this article*

They said shit didn't pick up until AFTER it became official Roman vs Brock was legit happening. Just because we all knew Roman was going to win(well some of us lol) doesn't mean the majority/casuals didn't think Bryan had a chance :drake1 So we didn't know about Taker and Sting before the Rumble?? Come on bruhs :lol

Either way, Vince is the devil and I can't believe he is going to sell this Mania with this weak ass build :lmao

I guess fans really don't care about wasting money.

You're contradicting yourself. You're saying that most casuals didn't know that Reigns would win beforehand, but you're also saying that casuals should have known that Taker and Sting would be performing at WM before that was actually revealed.

Which is it? Are the casuals hip to the inner workings of the business or not?

There is intrigue in the main event (especially with Brock's contract situation looming) but since Fast Lane Sting/HHH, Orton/Rollins and Bray/Taker have been officially announced as well as the IC ladder match. That absolutely has to help with sales.

All that said, the ratings are still in the shitter so I wouldn't be too comfortable if I was Vince.

Yeah, Sting/HHH becoming official and Wyatt challenging Taker didn't happen.

To anybody saying Reigns is getting sales... yeah that's not exactly right.

At this point, Wrestlemania always sells because of the name and the size of the show alone. It's the same reason the World Series always sells, no matter how big the fanbase of the team that is in the playoffs.

Heck, WM 27 got over a million sales, and the main event was John Cena vs Miz.

It just stated that when the ME was a lock, the sales started to progress. DB marks would be hyping shit same way he was in the ME and this was the case, simple as.

Of course other matches, and the MANIA name itself will draw, but Roman seems to be on a steady pace, but there are still some upset DB marks out there no matter what.

Da Realest Guys in Da Room vs. Cliff Compton and Colt Cabana (or C-4 as I would call them, because they're what those kids on those newfangled interwebs would call "the bomb.com").

One team of legitimately good friends who are relatively new to the biz vs. one team of legitimately good friends who are veterans of the biz. The only way to win is by showing off sheer levels of dat dere charisma.

Yay or nay?

Nope, because I read nothing but Roman bashing, Imma gloat for a bit.

Here, take this L to keep you warm :drake1



:lol Just give the boy credit. Tickets picked up when Brock vs Roman was official. AFTER we all knew Sting was going to be there and most likely Taker. Hell, Bryan had already came back too.

So stop the fuckery, and dance with this L :D:

:lmao Reigns sucks, can't draw, can't talk, can't wrestle, fuck you WWE, fuck you Vince:lol

In all seriousness, Believe That haters:reigns

Instead of reading too much into one report, why not just wait to see what happens at Mania? If the majority of the crowd boo's the heck out of Reigns, or simply doesn't care about the ME, then you know those ticket sales weren't influenced by people wanting to see him specifically.

If it isn't so bad, then maybe not all hope is lost for his face run.
