I'm ready for the Undertaker match

 

[Toki767]

Gotta grind down the crowd so they can't muster the energy to boo Reigns

Crowd is saving their energy more than anything.

 

[Heroman]

Considering the SDL women are on the main show because of fan outcry, it would be a PR nightmare to cut them.

That a work friend

 

[kiguel182]

Can't take the pace of an Orton match at this time of the night.

 

[Ithil]

Crowd are gonna be absolutely dead for the inevitably plodding Taker match.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Any one thinking this finishes in 30 mins is mad.

It won't be done by 11, but that Universal Title match is going to be a squash.

 

[Cagey]

O/U 4 minutes before chants for that skinnyfat MMA fighter with the tattoos.

 

[Spider from Mars]

How much do you think this set cost to build?

 

[excelsiorlef]

This match needs more carny bullshit

 

[TimeEffect]

Yeah this match is a snooze fest outside of the Worm crap its been umm... Blah

But the long term storytelling means it would be a great match!

 

[blackaroni]

Ok, can we get Naomi's entrance?

 

[Rockandrollclown]

They really should have spread out the WrestleMania moments better. How long ago was the tag match? Like 6 hours?

 

[Velcro Fly]

like they are just rushing through to get to all the regular spots so that they can finish faster

 

[Jopie]

Show is starting to feel looooong.

5 Hour Energy is a sponsor....they warned us

 

[serenewarfare]

Crowd are gonna be absolutely dead for the inevitably plodding Taker match.

No chance. They'll get up to boo Reigns.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Man, this should have went on before the Hunter match so that the crowed weren't so tired.

 

[Theslammer]

To those of you saying the show is too long:

I don't disagree with that notion, and honestly, they need to do more fast-paced matches. Looking at older PPVs from 15 years ago, there were usually fast-paced matches that somehow made a lot with 6 - 7 minutes and were actually pretty damn good. It varies the pace since every match has been at least of moderate length or just long.

Either that, or even some of the longer matches need to have the wrestlers bringing it all and quickening the pace. WM17's main event was a long match, but man, it felt like it never let up. Barely anything dragged, which is amazing.

 

[Tagyhag]

I hate listening to JBL now

 

[Professor Beef]

O/U 4 minutes before chants for that skinnyfat MMA fighter with the tattoos.

Batista?

 

[Sir Doom]

Finisher back and forth time?

 

[jurgen]

Yup. Dude might as well be the new Undertaker. Like, how many more wrestlemania's can Taker even do before he seriously gets hurt?

New Undertaker isn't on the main roster yet.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I feel like this was too front loaded. They should have spread some of the earlier stuff people really liked throughout a bit more.

 

[Toki767]

Crowd isn't even popping for kickouts lol

 

[Aiii]

Even commentary is struggling to not sound bored.

 

[friskykillface]

This match needs more carmy bullshit

This
I like it

 

[Syder]

It's like some of you have never seen a Randy Orton match before...

The Ultimate Thrill Ride, WrestleMania

 

[Nose Master]

Good mental break from wrestling hype, tbh. This match is bad.

 

[Beefy]

It won't be done by 11, but that Universal Title match is going to be a squash.

Always thought it would be. It's 3:40am here, it's starting to hit me.


--------------------------------
Weird match, glad it ended.

 

[JABEE]

This match needs some MC5

https://youtu.be/IZbjseBPjhw

 

[Dark Ninja]

Otunga has said 2 or 3 words this entire match LOL

 

[kiguel182]

This needs more fuckery

 

[kirblar]

Brays problem is that he really doesn't have experience in these types of high profile matches yet and Randy is NOT the guy to carry you unless he's motivated.

 

[LiQuid!]

I AM NOT INTO THIS ONE BIT

 

[ghostmind]

Well that was anticlimactic.

 

[Officerrob]

Show is too fucking long

 

[Vestal]

MORE FUCKERY

 

[ramoisdead]

HAHAHAHA now bugs.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Please, Wyatt. Please please please.

 

[Tall4Life]

Crowd popped for cockroaches

 

[Gorillaz]

actual cheers for the possible end of the fight

there is only so much wrassling people can deal with in one day

 

[Damn Silly]

Gotta say "Face Fuck" Phillips has done a good job as lead commentator, considering it's his first Mania.

 

[Rhaknar]

all this to lose clean to a RKO you watch

edit: LOLOLOL

 

[RBH]

NOPE.gif x infinity

 

[Brohenheim]

Crowd isn't even popping for kickouts lol

saving all they have left for roman

 

[cordy]

This is some Willy Wonka shit right here

 

[Violence Jack]

Randy trying to get the crowd up, and they couldn't give less of a fuck.

Maybe it's time to start trimming WM. Might be too long.

 

[Tom Nook]

Bugs time

 

[Bronx-Man]

Lol fuck this shit

 

[ReiGun]

Wrong man won.

That a work friend

Even if it's a work, you shouldn't tell your audience "We moved this match for you" then be like "Sike nah we cancelled that ho."

You're asking for a shit storm.
