Supposedly the real number was 85,000.

That certainly explains why they were so quiet.

I went to NXT on Friday night and had a great time. I was high on wrestling and excited for Mania even though I don't follow it week to week. It was terrible. And really, the sound mixing shenanigans in the main event was just sad. Such a weird thing.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

It's really interesting to see how many people didn't like this mania.
I pretty much enjoyed it and can't wait for more.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I got to see an awesome women's title match.

I got to see HBK show that he still got it.

I got to see Shane die.

Eh. I'd say I got my $9.99.

Still a shit show.

Still one match left

*rolls up DM. 1,2,3!!!

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I wonder if anyone at the stadium took any video at the end when reigns won. I want to hear the deafening boos lol

 

[Tom Nook]

Match of the night for me is the Womens Triple Threat match.

 

[Lighthaven]

Just cancelled my network membership......7 hours after signing up.

 

[hitme]

Let's see...

Owens lost
Zayn lost
Styles lost
New Day lost
Sasha/Becky lost
Shane died for nothing
Roman won

2/10

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That crowd was dead during that final match ending.....ouch lol. Not sure why this guy isn't a heel yet. Just embrace it. Not sure why they're fighting it every step of the way. He'll never get those cena pops.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

green arrow in the front row?

Yeah

 

[PROh1bited]

Any WWE hashtag trending on Twitter right now?

Should be #CancelWWENetwork

 

[Toki767]

Just posting for posterity.

You know. In Vince's mind, tonight's booking has made perfect sense.

Get all the heels to win, then your super babyface Roman Reigns beats the mega heel HHH to send the crowd home happy.

 

[Mizerman]

Crowd was pissed when Cena went over HHH at WM 22. What happened since? Everyone here is going to subscribe the network for NXT while Vince gets his money keeps Roman at the top for the next 10 years. Nothing is going to change.

...I haven't subscribed to the network since they introduced it.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Someone
somewhere
is defending this

All of this

That? Is a person...hope has fled from. There's nothing left for that person.

 

[Slowdive]

That was mostly awful.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Do they not understand it was unpredictable in a completely tone-deaf schizophrenic way?

 

[Trojan X]

Decent show actually. Not the worse but a bit better then last year other then seth saving that final match. Shane basically dying for this shit was the highlight.

loved the shaq stuff

Fuck... You must be the target market that Vince appeals to.

Fuck this shit. I'm going to re-watch NXT Takeover Dallas. Fuck that bullshit WM. Not happy.

 

[Fitts]

Well, WrassleGAF, I can honestly say that was the best episode of Impy and Chimpy I've seen.

Holy shit I'm dying

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Fuck it. Seeing that amazing Shinsuke debut was worth $10

 

[truly101]

Sometimes I think its just an elaborate troll to get the smarks to come around on Cena...but that would take too much forethought and planning.

 

[Matsukaze]

Women's match and IC match were both good. Brock vs Dean was incredibly underwhelming. Y2J vs AJ seemed like a typical Raw bout, as did League of Nations vs New Day. Undertaker vs Shane was a shitshow, aside from Shane's suicide leap. Battle royal... lol. HHH vs Roman was boring as fuck.

Congrats to Charlotte, Sasha, and Becky for match of the night.

 

[Jopie]

lol just get Hulu, I never get why people buy the network for NXT when its on Hulu plus you get so much more stuff and you arent directly supporting WWE's bullshit

I have Hulu....never realized it was on there. Thank you!

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I should get back into NXT with Nakamura being there. He's a cool guy.

 

[Rellik]

$9.99 went to a good place.

I feel like I'll have to watch that match every day for a week to recover from that 5 hour shit show we just saw.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Yeah

failed this city by not jumping in and preventing reigns from winning haha. he looked antsy there

 

[TheBear]

Raw after Wrestlemania continues to reign supreme

 

[Hidden One]

So next year we get lord sina vs reigns and reigns wins lol?

 

[Sephzilla]

This was the worst Mania in a loooooong time

 

[Judderman]

.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

I actually enjoyed the McMahon Undertake match from an entertainment standpoint. Like it had good inner match story telling but in the grand overall scheme of things, it made no sense to have Shane lose.

 

[OnPoint]

When you have to basically mute the crowd in the biggest event of the year because they're booing the intended climax, you should reassess the direction of your story.

I get that you can't have the ups without the downs, but this is not how that is supposed to work.

 

[Gurrry]

Heres to another 4 years of the authority story line!

Cheers

 

[Sarobi]

I didn't even pay attention to the last match. I give this WM a 6/10, though.

 

[Acorn]

I pretty much enjoyed it and can't wait for more.

I liked it overall. It dragged after the women's match though.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Awful, just awful. Might be one of the worst PPVs I've seen since I got back into wrestling.

I need to start broadening my horizons. Gonna make a more concerted effort to watch ROH and NJPW. This shit is dreck.

 

[Tom Nook]

I want my money go to nxt and NOT the one I just watched.

 

[VeryGooster]

Sometimes I think its just an elaborate troll to get the smarks to come around on Cena...but that would take too much forethought and planning.

I can't lie, over the last few years I kinda 'got over' Cena and it reached that point where I was okay seeing him tonight even if it was for a dumb segment.

 

[ramoisdead]

If NXT Takeover Dallas didn't happen, I would say this is a dark weekend for WWE.

 

[Eiji]

Mute-a-mania

 

[Past]

So what was the "huge" surprise that was planned for WM? That was the big rumor all weekend.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

That crowd was dead during that final match ending.....ouch lol. Not sure why this guy isn't a heel yet. Just embrace it. Not sure why they're fighting it every step of the way. He'll never get those cena pops.

It wasnt dead, they muted them to hell and back. Thats why JBL and Stephanie sounded they were in your living room.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Nothing will be as bad as 27

That? Is a person...hope has fled from. There's nothing left for that person.

I can't image such a person... could they be called a person at that point? Isn't a soul required to be a person?

Positives:
-Ladder match was great
-New Day entrance
-HBK/Austin/Foley
-Rock/Cena burying the Wyatts

Most bizarre decision:
-New Day amounting to nothing

 

[Sblargh]

Women's match was wrestlemania worthy, even if (and maybe because) the heel (who is actually a heel) won.
Ladder match was fun.
Rest was between meh and nah.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Kinded pisses Bailey didn't interfere the Women's match but Flair did. Scust

 

[krae_man]

So what was the "huge" surprise that was planned for WM? That was the big rumor all weekend.

It was The Rock's annual pointless ego stroke.

 

[ghostjoke]

Hmmm, I was entertained, but I think that was more to do with seeing the reactions and jokes online. Plus, I was trying to fix a netbook.

Hey in brighter news new OSW Reveiw episode. Takeover.

yuppppp

 

[SallyIsNow]

If they made NxT network how many subscribers does WWE lose?

 

[Kiyo]

The surprise was how awful Wrestlemania can really be when Vince puts his mind to it.
