"the match isn't actually about drums, but about beating your opponent so hard like a drum"

*ring proceeds to be surrounded by actual drums*

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Why so many ring apron spots? You do it that often people will be desensitised and won’t think it hurts as much as it does.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Is that Babatunde? Lmao

 

[Lynchy04]

Awesome!

Hopefully going by some of these results we see some movement after mania with the rosters. Raw needs a lot of help could benefit from a few Smackdown guys that get left off like Murphy, Corbin, Shinsake to help the 3 hour show.

Spoiler

Big E dropping the belt hopefully a sign he is off to Raw

 

[ptrg]

Now I wanna see a face AJ and Omos vs those two haha

 

[ptrg]

Ripley has a great cocky/confident presence.

go Aussie!

- thank Christ this isn’t asuka vs Charlotte!

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Given there’s been no in-ring segments it’s amazing how short the matches have been.

Agree - some very poor time management and a lot of unnecessary recaps rehashes and set ups

 

[Blackhawk42]

Stoked Ripley won but that ending came out of nowhere.

 

[brutus76]

The pride of South Australia is NOT the Adelaide Crows!!!!!

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Missed the Ripley and Asuka match but Jesus having the Bella Twins come out to attack Bayley instead of Becky Lynch is underwhelming

Got the boos it deserved.

Is the women’s tag match still the second longest of the night?
insane.

 

[ptrg]

Did reigns clearly tap just before they both let go??

 

[eDPS]

s**t way to end a main event of Wrestlemania

 

[Blackhawk42]

That match was incredible but like a lot on the show, the ending was booked horribly.

 

[ptrg]

Holy s**t.
Respect for them treating the conchairto as a death finisher. But wow. Thought we'd see finisher kickouts galore to finish this.
Probably the right outcome going forward, but pretty disappointing.

 

[ptrg]

Reckon that almost guarantees a year of Reigns on top until Rock at next Mania lol

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Main event clearly the best match. It was the only match that had me invested the whole way. Roman is the type of character that wrestling needs.

Some good effort from the wrestlers but overall Wrestlemania won’t mean s**t without stronger storylines and characters that we care about.

I think this Mania was somewhat of a story builder ? It finished off a couple of storylines ( Orton/Fiend end was horrible)

2 new female champs both NXT call ups / Winner /Runner up of the rumble.
Crews has got a much needed character change and now has help in the form of a body guard type role.
Cesaro got the win with a storyline of overlooked / under appreciated which will set him up to challenge Roman.
Ended Orton/Fiend but now looks to Bliss/Fiend with potential of another character ( Bo Dallas?) that will align with Bliss.

Lot of questions going forward , Drew could turn heel frustrated and bitter carrying the company through pandemic missed his mania moment.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was surprised how easily Rhea beat Auska I thought the match would go for much longer Auska was pinned after one rip tide finisher lols

Was enjoying the match the finish was disappointing made Auska look weak in the end

You’re being a bit generous there. “2 new female champs” isn’t a storyline.
“Cesaro being overlooked” is more of an online thing and isn’t a story you really play out in the ring.

I felt the conspiracy stuff should’ve been played out way more in the Owens match, What was the story between Sheamus and Riddle? Also you said so yourself the Wyatt stuff was terrible.

By Mania standards that’s a very low strikerate considering where they were fifteen years ago with storytelling.

No the commentators and Seth clearly built Cesaro up in that regard , all reports are he is one of Romans next challenges. Pretty obvious Reigns will keep the belt all year so they needed to build someone like Cesaro up.

2 new female champs ushes in a new era of womens wrestling? Both from NXT.

This Mania felt more like developing more for the future rather than finalising majority of the storyline/fueds/ match ups.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Edge looks great for a 50 year old

 

[Wickzki]

The main event itself was a great match and a genuinely good Wrestlemania main event.

However, the ending of the main event felt like the ending of a main event building up to Wrestlemania.

There was little to no difference between that ending and the ending to the main event at Fastlane.

That's just not good enough.

I'm sick of seeing the head of the table unable to win his own battles. He hasn't had a decisive victory since he became champion despite the gimmick. You may as well put the title on Jey - he's been more influential with the title than Roman has been.
