Yeah it made no sense, complete 180° on what he's been saying for the past few weeks.

Watched it, haven't watched Raw or Smackdown for a while but thought I'd indulge. All in all, it was better than I thought it was going to be.
Highlight of the night was Stephanie's outfit.

I thought it was a great show. I didn't get all the endings I wanted, but I thought they gave the fans a lot of surprises and the matches were great.
Loved, AJ/ Shane, KO/ Jericho, Miz was great playing to the crowd. Charlotte can straight up go and the Hardys
Kinda shocked Taker lost and not a fan of Brock, but overall great show.... I am super stoked for Raw and Smackdown...

Roman is the "I respect everyone and just want to fight hard and get my spot" type of face
He can say some bad things and even fight like a heel at some moments, but at the end of the day he will always be the underdog
LOL
Told ya'll the pants were the MVP of the night. I mean, damn.

Remember 2-3 years ago when Big Show was reluctantly in the Authority? That was the focus for 2ish months (I think Reigns was injured at the time) Anyway the point is, by the time the angle was over the crowd went from chanting "please retire" to cheering on an popping for Big show.
BIG SHOW
IN 2014! (15?)
So they CAN book people correctly. They just can't do it purposely or don't out of spite.
edit: i'm agreeing with the post I quoted, not sure if it came across. Still a little early.

So I have been down on wrestling the past year and of course made all too many posts saying the only thing keeping me a fan was Kayfabe Commentaries and not Raw, Smackdown, NXT, etc.
Wrestlemania was a great show. I had very low expectations going in and by the time the middle of the AJ/Shane match had hit, I was already feeling as though it was going to be something special. Then the show just seemed to flow. Nothing will top HHH's Mania 31 entrance although last night's was cool.

god damn
if that arena would have been a closed arena, nearly everyone in the audience would have suffered some form of hearing damage from that hardy boys pop. I could hear how insanely loud that shit was from the stream.....and that shit was an open arena.
God damn that crowd when apeshit.......I mean so did I
but DAMN

Yea the delete chant when they got to ring was popping louder over the music which is crazy
70,000 people chanting about some indie gimmick.
Also, mad props to the Hardyz. I wasn't sure they were signed, but I assumed they wouldn't be at Mania even if they were, especially in a ladder match less than 24 hours after their ROH ladder match.

And why would I want them?
That was honestly my favorite WM since....shit I can't even remember. Definitely my favorite so far this decade. Yeah the last match was shit, but I loved every match before that. Super fun WM

The Hardy's entrance was amazing and probably the highlight of the night. Still buzzing from that and I marked out hard at the time. Really well done.
The first half of WM33 was actually pretty good but after the ladder match it started to stumble

Did you not watch 30?
The Cena proposal and Gronkowski spots appear to be getting the most mainstream attention like expected, but from looking across youtube, forums, etc, the biggest spotlight among wrestling fans seems to universally be the Hardys' return. I mean they would have gotten a huge reaction for a return even if they'd just been the Hardys elsewhere all this time, but I think the heat level for them is a testament to how strong the Broken gimmick is, even in a dead promotion like TNA.

Can't wait for Raw tonight and Smackdown tomorrow. Balor, the Hardyz, Nakamura. Oh my God.

The first half the event, I would say it was going to be the best Wrestlemania ever
But the WWE title match, Smackdown women and Taker/Reigns match were all really bad

Everyone watching looked amazed. And rightfully so.
That was amazing, Brock should go on a 2-3 year long title reign and retire

I think it's like Hogan/Andre. Horrid match, but nobody will ever call it bad because of how momentous it was. This is the same, this was an old warrior in his last battle against the young, hungry new ace, he fought admirably, but in the end was put down for good. From a technical standpoint, yes, it was terrible. From a storytelling standpoint, it was poetry.

I watched the Daniel Bryan triple threat match which was great but that's all I remember seeing. I think that's the one where Lesnar squashed the Undertaker too. I loved WM last night almost start to finish. I even loved the smackdown women's title match. So happy to see Naomi win that.
Damn, you are in the extreme minority on that one I think. Glad you liked it though. I liked parts of the build, but again, Bray lays a wet fart in the biggest match and loses yet again. The match itself was a snoozefest as well for me. It was a basic Randy Orton SD match.

Undertaker getting concussed against his 1st match was just him being unlucky people saying he should have retired before then act like he has magic ball that lets him see into the future. Taker quickly redeemed himself with 2 matches with lesnar after proving it was just him being unlucky with the concussion. Though i think he should have skipped this year mania and just let him fully recover from his surgery.
Anyways wrestlemania gonna suck with him gone no more taker matches to look forward to and next mania will be probably lesnar's last so the only attraction they will have left is HHH.

Yep, I was really waiting for Sister Abigail to show up towards the end of that match. Crawling down the ramp towards the ring all Grudge-like.
I guess this is a valid question to bring up, are they going to hot-shot Undertaker into the Hall of Fame right away like they did with Edge or are they going to give it a couple of years?

If he doesn't break kayfabe it's gonna suck. And speaking of kayfabe, shame they did nothing about Kane, but maybe he's gonna be used as fodder for Roman when he gets the belt.
I feel he will be put in the hall of fame next year, I don't think they will wait at all.
He's a "first ballot" Hall of Famer (even though there are no ballots), like HBK and Edge, yes. Hell, I wouldn't even be shocked if they announced he was being inducted into the 2018 class tonight on Raw.

I think we all can agree that the work done last night was not very good. It was more show than go on all fronts.
I mean NXT was the best "wrestling" all weekend.

Yeah, I was just coming in to give my thoughts but why even bother. And if I never see someone bring merchandise sales as a topic of discussion I'll be as happy as can be.
Well, Charlotte was great(as always), so that was something.
Good lord
Tough call but Id have to agree. I think Aries Neville, AJ Shane (surprise of the night), Jericho Owens and the Womens match (4 way) were all good wrestling. Im probably forgetting one or two.
But yeah, NXT is always going to take the cake when it comes to true wrasslin.

What the fuck was up with Becky Lynch? I don't mind the new wardrobe, but that hair. Eesh.

I enjoyed Mania overall. Hardy Boyz return was the highlight of the show and it's not even close.
But holy shit that Roman v Taker match was atrocious.
