And that's how you get rid of Reigns from the main event scene.

Now hopefully he stays out awhile so he has time to improve and get the crowd back on his side.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I love that even the third spear didn't look like it was going to put down Brock, he was just going to roll outside and rest a sec like he always does.

Well that's a pretty great answer to WWE letting all the old guys go over earlier in the night. Instead of ending with face Roman standing tall to boos or the heel Lesnar standing tall to riotous cheers, we get Seth Rollins reminding everybody why he sold out The Shield in the first place.

Seriously this is the first time a WWE PPV legitimately swerved me and DIDN'T leave me going 'are they retarded?!' Did not see a mid match cash in coming, loved that everyone looked tough, Seth, after getting the poo poo kicked out of him in his match, found a way to win and still look like a badass.

Literally everyone comes out of that brilliantly. That was superb

Brock looks a little chumpish after Reigns kicked out of three f5s and selling a turnbuckle bump, superman punches, and no other offense like death.

But I am happy with Seth winning the title. Best possible ending out of all that, Seth has natural feuds set up with Brock, Orton, Cena, Bryan (all guys who beat him clean recently) as well as Reigns and Ambrose.

As opposed to Reigns who could feud with... Seth. And the Big Show.

because of that swerve ending (I expected a win, then a cash in, not mid match to triple threat cash in) this Mania is now known as Russomania

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


STFU. Wrestlemania was awesome

First time since last year that the show ended with a huge grin on my face

Look there was like a 2% chance what happened in the last five hours was going to happen, I've skipped attending Raiders games with more of a chance than that

The chances of a WWE PPV looking mediocre and turning out to be amazing is pretty high to be honest.

It seems the ones that look really good are the ones they screw up on.

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.

This was good because it meant Roman didn't have to pin anyone but also he doesn't look like uh TOTAL poo poo
Honestly the man was shoot murdered, he is dead now, a Roman Reigns clone will take his place tomorrow night, there's no shame in eating that pin

Rollins looked smart as gently caress, Lesnar looked unbeatable and didn't get beat, Reigns looked actually kinda tough just for taking that beating, that was a really good job all around.

Sting and Wyatt should have won their matches but otherwise this was... actually a really good Wrestlemania! Which I don't think anyone expected.

3 superman punches and 2 spears aren't much of an equivalent to 11 suplexes and 3 F5s

Fair point but pretend Roman Reigns is Overeem punching him in the guts or better yet, relax.

I think that makes Cena and Undertaker look more chumpish than Lesnar. Roman just took more than both of them combined and was still in the running.
