I'll second this. Pretty much everything around it was terrible, from the match itself, to the commentary and productions crews just flatout not giving a gently caress.

Seconding the HM. Very good match but hard to call it MOTYC when this weekend has already been so insane alone

yeah if they'd gotten another 5 minutes and had a better execution on the same booked finish I'd have called it a MOTYC

HM: Rhonda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs Triple H & Stephanie with Drake Younger, Special Guest Referee (Wrestlemania 34)

I didn't except this match to be good, and I hope to high hell this is the level that Rhonda is really at and it wasn't rehearsed every day for 4 months because drat that was fire.

HM: Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle vs. HHH/Stephanie McMahon, Wrestlemania

Was it hte most technically great match? No.

Was it an extremely, extremely fun spectacle? Absolutely, and there's a place at the table for that kind of cornball fun in my book at the HM table.

nth, it was so much better than it had any right to be, and ronda looked genuinely good in the ring. I'm not excited about her, and I certainly was not before that much.

It reminded me a lot of the HHH/Sting match, which was a clusterfuck of fun when everyone thought it would be dogshit.
