Cena wins that too.

Cena wins Mad Men as well.

What if I told you I'm Cena.

 

[worldrunover]

THANK YOU!!! I knew this BS would happen. PG Then and forever.

PG has nothing to do with it. Interesting storytelling can be PG. This is Grade-A Phone-In to the highest extent. Punk / Taker was very good and nothing else was even a three star match. I think Cena/Rock is a 0 star match. I really do. At least HHH/Brock had its entertaining moments. There were 15 finishers in that Cena match and no one cared.

Great decision to not buy WM this year. Yay

 

[slightconfuse]

Mad Menw aspretty good companion tonight

 

[Kaladin]

You know, I just realized.....this show was really lacking in the usual back stage promos they do at Mania.

 

[dream]

Wow, WWE completely jacked the UFC on Fuel TV Post Game format. In a good way.

 

[Ithil]

You want to see a REAL Wrestlemania redemption? Watch the Tag Title match.

Bryan got the clean win, the crowd was delighted, and he was near crying with joy as the crowd went YES along with him.

 

[bangai-o]

i believe we cannot judge the heel turn until Raw tomorrow. so there is still a chance.

 

[Dead Man]

Before some of you swear off wrestling for good (LOL), can I just direct you gently towards New Japan?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GswVKh5SCA

Gotta do something for the next 11 months. I'm sure as hell not getting invested in WWE after that clusterfuck.

 

[Skilotonn]

Sleep well WrassleGAF, don't let the salt burn your eyes.

Can't wait to see our returning champ tomorrow night.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Remember when Stone Cold turned heel against The Rock?

 

[Cousteau]

dat lost artifact.
lovingly and longingly.

 

[Glorified G]

If this was 7 years ago, I would feel rage and disappointment. But now I just feel nothing. For the first time in a long time, I just don't care.

Just picturing cena at the beginning of raw tommorow giving the same promo for the past 8 years just bores me to tears.

I have a lot of love for Lesnar V HHH. That last 5 minutes was brutal and epic!

 

[Kyoufu]

Remember when Stone Cold turned heel against The Rock?

Remember when Stone Cold was around? Yeah...

 

[GazzaScotland]

Anyways, while Mania was rubbish its been fun on here. Time for bed though! Same again next year? Not so sure.

I'm going to sleep.... No wait I kicked out....

 

[blackaroni]

You know, I just realized.....this show was really lacking in the usual back stage promos they do at Mania.

I was wondering where they were too. Probably spent too much time promoting the most boring match of the night.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Remember when Stone Cold turned heel against The Rock?

I raged.

 

[DMczaf]

What if I told you I'm Cena.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Well that was just some self indulgent shit then.

Pretty sure the idea was to take the focus off Cena so the crowd didn't absolutely shit on him, so I guess it did its job.

 

[Buckethead]

Welcome to WrestzZzleMania

If Punk is taking a break to recover from injuries then..... WELP.

 

[Plywood]

 

[Striker]

Shield, Punk/Taker, and Hell no. 1 good match, 3 good performances :/

Brock was good, just shitty Triple H ego boosting.

 

[bangai-o]

it would be very amazing if Cena had a cameo in Game of Thrones.

 

[worldrunover]

Re: Cena wrestling, he's not a bad wrestler when he has a guy who knows what he's doing in there. He can put on an entertaining match with Punk or Ziggler or Bryan. He just can't carry The Rock's winded ass to anything even coherent because at this point in his life the Rock is not a wrestler and when he does wrestle he is not good at it. They never should have centered the title around him and frankly I'm glad it's on a guy who I know will be on Raw tomorrow night, even if it is John Cena.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Cena as champ I don't mind but there was nothing interesting outside of the one good sequence when he teased going heel, why not end it there?

Outside the taker punk match I enjoyed Jericho fandango as a filler match and glad big e looked good, best moment was probably Bryan's yes moment

What a horribly booked ppv once again, most finishes made little sense and served little purpose (the only reason I see for Henry winning like that is if he will challenge cena in a filler feud ala the umaga last man standing match)

 

[Kaladin]

I gotta admit, Ryback picking up Henry was a cool moment.

 

[Dead Man]

Pretty sure the idea was to take the focus off Cena so the crowd didn't absolutely shit on him, so I guess it did its job.

Yeah, there is that.

 

[Keyser Soze]

NEW SHIRT GUYS!!!

#HEEL

 

[Gorillaz]

If Punk is taking a break to recover from injuries then..... WELP.

did punk get injured? oh boy

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Kept me guessing the entire match! Wait, what did?

#FACE of course! So many moments he could have made that heel turn, but NOPE. Face forever. Poor Mania. THANK GOD FOR NEW JAPAN, the absolute GODS of wrestling. If you watched this and weren't too into it, I beg of you to watch some New Japan as it is incredible on every level. Incredible performers, great booking, entertaining feuds, EVERYTHING. It's the total package, and has some money behind it so you don't smell the gymnasium like other promotions.

Their idea of PG definitely has something to do with it. Troll Twitter, social media, licensing deals, and dumbing down everything to the lowest common denominator is WWE nowadays.

Wrestling is dead. It's a PG commercial kids tour.

 

[IC_Champion]

So...

+ New Guy getting over
+Taker/Punk
+ SHIELD WINNING
+ HOF Feat Trish

-Scewed up tag team match (should have been Scholars v Hell No)
-Dropping Scholars out of nowhere
-Weak Tres H match
-Weak championship match
-NO DIVAS MATCH (single or group)
-Poor use of talent

Am I on the ball here?

Yep, I don't think the WWE as whole could not make it to WM XXX

I wasn't talking about the event itself. just Cenar's title reign from here on out

 

[redmetal86]

The OX! Oh Dusty, never change.

 

[zychi]

Everything up to the Bork match was fantastic. Even FanDANgo botch was a good match. After Taker and Punk, the rest sucks.

No Cesaro, no Sandow, no Divas.

Boo

 

[JehutyRunner]

The end of that GIF sums up my feelings on the end.

FUCK. THIS. COMPANY.

Taker-Punk was the only good match tonight. Second by a long margin behind TK-CMP was Fandango-Jericho. And that's not saying much because the rest of the lot was fucking shit.

I'll tune into Raw tomorrow to see the fallout, but after that, DONE.

 

[Dead Man]

Brock was good, just shitty Triple H ego boosting.

True. 4 good performances + 1 good match.

 

[blackaroni]

So Ryback lifted 2 or 3 guys for weeks and theyre now suddenly impressed that Ryback can lift one 400 pounder.

Dusty is not made for close ups in HD.

 

[Surge]

If Punk is taking a break to recover from injuries then..... WELP.

No reason to give a shit about the WWE for me if this happens.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Taker/Punk was not bad but not incredible. Lesnar/HHH put me to sleep, but it wasn't Lesnar's fault - he carried the whole damn thing. HHH needs to get outta here.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I dont even watch WWE and im mad.

 

[Joel Was Right]

OK, it's time to put into perspective just how awful that was, because I'm at a loss for words

What a terrible WrestleMania.

Can anyone give me a writeup of what happened and why it was terrible. Why is everyone mad

 

[zychi]

No reason to give a shit about the WWE for me if this happens.

DBRINE and NXT is woth watching.

 

[Judderman]

Plywood...using Tumblr gifs? I never thought I'd see the day. ; _ ;

 

[hlhbk]

I don't care what anyone says this was the worst Wrestlemania of all time. I loved Punk vs Taker but it can't even save the show.
