Vince KNEW that the crowd would be nuclear against Roman and it would poison the entire rest of the show. That's why it went last. The crowd is going to be brutal on RAW. I honestly think we're gonna see people throw poo poo.

it went last because the crowd's not coming back from the undertaker's retirement you dope

Overall I give Mania a thumbs up. Last third was bad but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

I love Roman Reigns, now.


The show was actually pretty good, though not great, overall - better than last year, way above my expectations - but the main event was more sad than anything.

The show was better than my expectations because I didn't have any expectations. It was wrestling and that's good enough for me. See you at the Raw thread for another day of wrestling.

Then I'll see you for the Smackdown thread, where I will continue supporting wrestling because that's what I do.

Ahhh much like how I treated every test in middle school by assuming I failed and being pleasantly surprised that I got a C+.

I saw the clip of Triple H's entrance on reddit and that's all I wanted from this show. You just know he was thinking "I'm so loving cool" as he rode down the ramp. And he was right.

You can divide that Wrestlemania almost cleanly in half, and the first half was actually really good, and then the moment the mixed tag starts the show goes off a cliff with Lesnar/Goldberg as the only thing that bumps up, and even then it wasn't really particularly good, just not awful.

That is up there with the Yokozuna/Bret/Hogan main as the worst main event in Wrestlemania history. Jesus christ, what a trainwreck.

Well, some people, like Roman, claim the Holocaust didn't happen or was greatly exaggerated. Its a race thing. That's what "the holocaust denier thing" is

I was worried when I heard they were doing an actual match, but them spending 5 minutes just spamming finishers was amazing.

Mania definitely peaked at the ladder match, but I mean unless Roman was made fun of and squashed by Undertaker merciless the return of team extreme was always going to be the high water mark. Better than last year, still.
