Us Brits love a good soap opera. Coronation St, Eastenders, Emmerdale etc....

WWE is increasingly popular in the UK with its comedy story lines and gruesome fights. Really WWE is like a soap opera. That's why it's so popular. More and more adults watch wrestling and no-one over the age of 13 takes it too seriously.

I've noticed a few "Fandango" mentions on this site so there must be a few of you out there!

What did you think of Wrestlemania? I personally thought it was weak. RAW the next day was better. We haven't had a good Wrestlemania since 18, when it was The Rock vs Hogan.

Just done both nights at The O2. I'm on TV way too much, doing far too much fandangoing.

Also had a row with an Uso

Gruesome fights??? Not in the last 10 or so years, since they went all PG on it.
Was a time when Hell In a Cell matches resulted in plenty of blood being shed - now you can't even hit someone in the head with a chair!!!
Obviously it's all for safety reasons now though.......

It was always going to go PG because it means many more $$$ for Vince McMahon. However recently i've noticed the odd bit of blood coming back.

Ryback looks to be a poor heel character

Isn't it weird how much the UK go nuts for Fandango! It was plainly obvious that the RAW in New Jersey after Mania was full of British ex pats.

Only ever been to one live event. At Earls Court back in 2001

Canada go nuts for it, mate. Seriously Canadian crowds are renown for being the most loud and boisterous. And a lot of the WWE greats from the past have come from our great Commonwealth.

By the way do you guys have the Queen's head on your dollars?

In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede proves this. The 10 man tag match with the Hart Foundation is made by the crowd. It gives you shivers.

Yeah the Canadian crowds are usually great. But I agree with you on Nascar, as an F1 nut, I keep trying and failing to watch Nascar, leaves me cold.

Unlike Fandango Here's a pic from Tues night:



By the way: Smackdown's main event this week is very good indeed, give it a watch when it airs tomorrow.

I've just ordered 'For All Mankind', a new documentary on Mick Foley. Can't wait to watch it.
