Solid Wrasslin'Mania show.
Disagree.
I was surprised by how long this show was. I'm sure it has to be longest one ever. Even longer than Wrasslin'Mania 20. I'm just going to ignore the pre-show since I didn't pay attention. The biggest surprise was that the show consisted of little to no nonsense and plenty of time for the matches.
Time for the matches is true but the schedule line-up and pacing was awful.
Opening ladder match was solid. Nothing I haven't seen before, but still surprised by the random jobber winning. I was expecting KO to come out on top.
That was quality! It should have been a mid-card, not an opening. The opening should have been the Battle Royale.
Jericho and Styles was pretty good. I liked it a lot more than their last match at Fast Lane.
This was probably one of the best match of the entire event. It was great but the problem was that they fought a few times before and despite its good storytelling, AJ had much better matches and with all the non-stop selling from AJ, you can tell that Jericho cannot hang on AJ's true pace. In that and other things, I do not agree with AJ losing; that was a bad call.
New Day match was decent. Nothing particularly special. I feel like it needed some kind of gimmick to spice it up.
Best intro of the night next to seeing Stephanie but the match was dull, and the finish kills impressions from both sides.
Barack vs. Ambrose felt like wasted potential. It was decent enough, but it was almost like it was cut short. We should've got another eight minutes where Ambrose mounted a comeback before Lesnar put him down for good. It's like half a match as it stands.
It was bad......... It was a BAD booking, a bad angle, and a bad match. It was a waste of Brock and Ambrose's time. It should have never happen especially with the obvious lack of chemistry and this match shows it. As I said earlier, Ambrose did NOT had to win but the most important thing is how will Amrbose go down fighting. In this case, it was about bringing the beast to Ambrose backyard with iron-man esques and it failed miserably that made me feel sorry for both performers.
Triple threat for the women's title was decent. Sasha Banks has a great theme. Keep on failing Ambrose and Rollins though WWE.
Naw. This was definitely solid but Rick Flairs involvement killed the whole match. It was a stupid stupid decision. That idea really prove that Vince is out of touch and do not trust the performers enough despite their awe showing at NXT. Vince is sick to the head of messing with a wheel that is not broken and for that he will always hurt his own products. Heck, look at Tyler Breeze as a perfect example.
HellCell was ten minutes too long. It felt like it was half an hour, and that's just too much. The match itself wasn't bad, but paced poorly. I feel like if they did the same match but in twenty minutes, it would've been a lot better. But bah gawd at Shane jumping off the top of the HellCell. Grapefruits, friends. Grapefruits.
It wasn't 10 minutes too long. It was a match that should have never happen. It was a shit booking and it showed. The match was only worth it for Shane insanity spots. Again, I hope and pray he is ok for I am scared of his potential internal bleeding.
Didn't care for the Battle Royal. Bunch of no names and some jobber winning that I don't recognize.
Agree. However, I more so because that was sadly an obvious marketing ploy (Shaq) to get the newspapers talking about Wrestlemania. It should have been an opener or a preshow. However, I am very happy that Barren Corbin won in a decent victory despite the marketing ploy of the match.
The Rock segment was cool enough, but the wrong man came out at the end. It should not have been Joan Cena, but Big Daddy Dave Brotista if they wanted to make that moment special.
Disagree. That was a waste of air-time and they shafted the entire Wyatt family. Bad call..
The main event was completely different from what I expected. Watching the promo video, I was expecting Reigns and Jimmy to kill each other, but Jimmy went old school. I liked it, but the finish was a little sloppy.
Surprised because the match was everything that I expected and that is the ultimate problem with it. Glad Roman won but it's clear that both of them are bad choreographers and need a coach to help them make a better match together. Ok match but THIS IS WRESTLEMANIA so OK is NOT good enough. Highlight was stephanie both on intro and getting speared. Oh yes, the spear through the barricade was awesome too.
In hindsight, I think this Wrasslin'Mania could've been one of the greatest had they simply switched to Barack vs. Reigns for the title, and Haitch vs. Ambrose in the undercard. Reigns and Barack had one of the best main events the show has ever had last year, and Ambrose vs. Haitch would've had the crowd playing along with the old school match like at the previous PPV where they had a match. They let themselves down there, and I'm not sure why they went this route. Reigns vs. Jimmy feels like a step down for Reigns, and should've really happened at Royal Rumble and Fast Lane while we got Reigns vs. Barack here.
Kind of agree with you there. Of course, I wouldn't op for this if I had other options to play with.
As it stands, it was still a pretty solid show.
None of it matters anyway. The Roman Empire is finally upon us.
Balee dat.
Completely disagree. The show as a whole was shit compared to NXT Takeover Dallas. One match with American Alphas against the Revivals was better than everything in Wrestlemania. When you add Sami vs Nakamura, Asuka vs Bayley and Samoa Joe vs Balor, Wrestlemania doesn't even come close. Not ONE BIT. Vince and his team of creative are to blame.
I think he's great, and it bugs me hardcore the way they've squandered him on the main roster.
