Mania loving owned and that ending was just perfect. Brock looks like a killer, Roman could not be put down, and Seth is the goddamn world champion.

I'm happy with that ending, but that was a really mediocre Wrestlemania overall. Making the right decision to make Roman Reigns completely irrelevant was a good ending but the majority of the show did nothing for anybody.

So why did the world champ lose clean to Randy Orton again? On the night that he won the title, no less?

It's just some thing WWE does. Edge lost his match the night he cashed in MITB too. To ric flair, iirc.

The psychology and booking of that match were absolutely perfect. My only caveat is that I think WM should be where the angle ends, not where it begins. Small complaint though.

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Current WWE Champions: Nikki Bella, Cesaro, Tyson Kidd, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Seth Rollins

This is highly acceptable.

Losing a match before cashing in later in the night isn't unusual. Edge did it in 2006 iirc.

That was 100 times better than I was expecting.

The match was even good before Rollins, but I lost my poo poo when he ran down. He was already my favorite guy right now.

Eh, That's fine. He lost because him winning the title is going to fix any "damage" the loss does.

Well gently caress me sideways I guess all of us (including me) making GBS threads on the WM before it happened were proven wrong.

Good job WWE, you actually did it, you did the thing you're supposed to do and made WM an event of surprises and excitement.

No way were they going to do the right thing, I wouldn't have been surprised if this was a last minute change just gauging the crowd reaction to Reigns during the match. It's not the first time they've done something like that. They knew they always had Rollins in their pocket to put the title on, if anything they wanted to put it on a face, but Reigns isn't the face anyone in that stadium wanted at all, so they went with the next best thing. A fighting smart smarmy heel champ that is way more entertaining to watch than Lesnar.

probably because he's a chickenshit heel who's been well-established to only be able to win after fixing the circumstances in his favor imo

Hey Guys Daniel Bryan just won the WWE Title. Cesaro is seemingly getting a push, and Brock Lesnar just beat the undertaker. This next year of WWE is going to be awesome.

Marquis de Pyro: Sep 25, 2006; Evil Prevails

Ok, I'm usually negative and in that vein the rest of Mania loving SUUUUCKED but that main event was awesome. Lesnar looked great, they made Reigns look tough albeit only able to cope with Lesnar given a lucky break/Lesnar loving with him, and we get the belt off the guy who can't work every show and it's not Reigns.

The only bad part is we'll probably be getting 20 minute promos of HHH putting over Rollins every Raw for the next 3 months
