Sorry to talk cash, but am trying to work out the best way to buy wrestlemania for the kids (and I) to watch.

If I pay for it on sky, does it record so we can watch it later? The boys are too young to stay up that late. Is there a limit on how many days after we can watch it?

There was some talk regards paying for the wwe network. Will that carry it? Can we get it? How much is it?

Show me the way, if you please.

Never done a ppv before (don't really want to start now, but the kids enthusiasm has rubbed off on me) so not sure how it works.

WWE Network isn't available in the UK yet.

I do it through Sky Box Office but to be able to record it you have to do it via the Sky box itself. If you order it online or over the phone you can't record it.

From what I can remember you get 30 days to watch it even if you start watching it.

If you buy from the box office on Sky you can watch the re-runs of the whole show all week, but as said you cant physically record it!

Due to work I won't be able to watch it until at least Tuesday so need to avoid spoilers. Can't see anything other than a Daniel Bryan win and can't shake that niggling feeling that the Undertaker's streak is going to end

Doubt WWE would risk that, his one of their all time greats and the streak is pretty iconic for Undertaker and WWE.

Lesnar is a beast though, and if they really want to push him there would be no better way than this

I don't watch WWE since all the best ones left, but I wouldn't want Taker's streak to end, it would be pretty st imo.

If 'taker's streak came to an end, it would have to benefit not just the person who beat him, but the whole WWE. I don't think Brock needs the push or the win so they'll continue it. If someone was to win, they'd need to be reliable with a huge future ahead of them, Bray or Roman would had made me more interested in it possibly coming to an end.

I'll try and download WM30 later, and avoid all news websites as the oddly report on wwe occasionally and I admit I get into it sometimes. I tend to watch it for a few years, then take a few years off.

I think Daniel Bryan will win it tonight as it's been 9 months of screwing him over now and it's getting boring. He'll need to turn heel shortly after too as he's already beaten most of the heels coming to this point. Would be nice to see Cesaro moving on too, I feel they'll split up the Real Americans soon and push him over Summer as he's getting very popular and would make a good face.

isnt Take going to retire soon? Prob wont make it another WM or many more years - would be stupid to finish the streak.

Be interesting to see what they do with Batista after Wrestlemania, IMO they messed up by letting him win the Royal Rumble, he should have gone after Cena and Orton in their title match, REALLY want to see Batista savage Cena, I used to be a Cena fan, but not anymore.

He was a physical wreck when I watched it! His schedule must be as light as a feather these days.

like many i imagine, i am an old school fan that watches now and again - i spose WWE don't really vlaue me as a customer because i dont actually pay for any of their products. but what is clear is that WWE is hanging onto a lot of fans for historic reasons - the fact that they spoent 15 mins on Hulk, Austin and The Rock tells you all you need to know. the silence at the end of the Undertaker match also tells you everything you need to know. if they were going to have Undertaker lose they would have better of had let him lose to HBK or HHH. I spose ultimatley Undertaker had a say in it but it just felt a bit crap. I imagine fewer old school fans will tune in next year now though

I'm an old school fan, what happened with Rock, Hulk and Austin?
And what happened at the end of the Taker match?

they just had a segment at the start with rock, hulk and Austin in the ring chatting st - but it was good to have the old school link - you know when WWE was actually good.

Undertaker lost to Brock and there was stunned silence - no one thought it would really happen and I think (personally) no one thought he would lose to Brock - it all kind of felt flat. maybe not quite the epic thing it was going to be? never seen that happen before

My biggest issue with The Undertaker match is was that it was st. Too slow (I know he is old etc) but yeah I found myself starting to look away and check my phone. If that was his last match, what an anticlimax to a career like that

Its not the fact that he lost, its the fact that he lost to a part timer who gets no rub from it. I read that Undertaker wanted to lose to Lesnar a few years ago but he (Lesnar) refused, same with HHH a couple of years ago. I think he may be back for one more Mania match, rumours are against Sting next year.

Cesaro winning the Rumble was good, so was Bryan winning, although after Undertakers loss, it was a forgone conclusion
