So I'm sat on the sofa - iPad in hand with the preshow up. I'll probably add comments and thoughts as the night goes on

---

Cruiserweight title match is starting now!

Neville's theme is a little different now - there's a heavy guitar riff in it. Funny how such a little change has made it infinitely more heel.

---

When I did my time predictions I forgot that Wrestlemania was 7 hours long...

---

Neville takes the opener in a fantastic match. Great start to the show.

---

Seeing all the people going down the ramp I presume the battle royals is about to start...

---

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUN

---

AND THERE GOES BRAUN

---

Is that fucking Big Damo on my screen

---

Titus O'Neill still in...

---

#makeitawin

also breezango eliminated to heavy booing haha

---

Yes, he is in NXT now.

Also WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT IS THIS BATTLE ROYAL

YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S A PRESTIGIOUS TITLE AND GIVE IT TO MOJO CUNTING RAWLEY

---

Oh crap, I obviously meant Jinder as LAST to be eliminated

Well my defence is off to an awful start. I'm going to need a big comeback from this

---

---

I'm totting up the totals, but I think I've smashed everyone's faces off.

---

Official tally to come soon. I'm physically numb.

Totted up the scores on the doors for the main card, bonuses to come tomorrow when I re-watch the show for those ladder bumps and what-not.

Highflyer (c): 21
Quickman: 21
Oni-91: 27
Sigrev2: 21
hamsand210-final: 18

As we can see, Oni is off to a blinding start with 9 correct main card predictions. Who will walk away with the belt once the rest of the scores are added up? Answer: probably not hamsand210-final. SEE YOU TOMORROW, LADS!
