WWE WrestleMania 35 - Monday 8th April 2018, 9am AEST

[Grockadoc]

I was NOT expecting that...... from the Universal Championship match going on first; to the Brock beat-down to Seth Rollins reversing the situation with a low blow and the three curb stomps.

WOW! Just WOW! Not the best match-- but it has me interested because it was different.

Congrats Seth on winning the Universal Championship.

This. Unexpected in a good way in my opinion.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Sometimes spectacle is necessary over quality. Perfect start to the night honestly.
Would you have preferred it going on second last, being 14 minutes of German suplex's with a 2 minute comeback? That's what we all expected but it would have been a lot less memorable.

 

[GWBogan]

Well at least Bork no longer holds the belt hostage, so that's a good thing.

 

[Raveneyes]

This should be one of the better matches of tonight.

Agree.

Potential for match of the night.

I'm okay with it. They went for shock and awe over giving us a 20 minute match.

Didn't have to be 20 minutes, but 5 moves to end Brock seems a little forced.

Lazy writing IMO.

 

[winty]

AJ already with more offence in this match than he had in the million dollar challenge on the NXT pre-show.

 

[Freight Train]

AJ’s RING GEAR IS LOOKIN’ REAL JACKED BABY.

This. Brock matches are boring and repetitive. No-one would have expected this booking. Which is why it was so memorable.

So the Roman type match, over the Goldberg type match?

Neither option thrills me.

If you want shocking, do the Bryan-Sheamus match again and go home early.

Couple of Jackhammers or a couple of curb stomps?

It's not new, or a spectacle.

Respect these opinions, but I just don't agree.

What’s the crowd singing?

As opposed to a typical Brock match of 37 suplexes, 10 shoulder tackles in the turnbuckles and an F5? Boring.

‘Turn the lights off’

 

[Grockadoc]

Nice little spot there.

 

[Freight Train]

was anyone honestly looking forward to rollins/lesnar? they were never going to have a great match, regardless of the in ring abilities of the two. it would have been booked as 12 germans, 3 F5s, a 5 minute kimura rest hold with a last minute seth flurry.

IMO they did us a favour, saved some time on the card and rollins rescued the world title.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

The stadium looks incredible right now with the red and yellow lighting and blue sky, such a nice aesthetic.

Exactly. Same scripting for EVERY Brock match would have killed the crowd. Glad they did this.

Hopefully more time for Kofi and DB.

 

[Freight Train]

crowd popping hard for some of the gold lighting being turned off. I’m a bit sad, was honestly hoping the crowd was just really invested in the match.

 

[NSWCROW]

All hail the Testicle Slayer

 

[wasupwidat]

The issue I have is this is the guy who ended the streak, has owned both Cena and Reigns, yet he loses to guy half his size in less than 5 minutes. Even after he beat him up before the match even begun.

I was.
Brock vs Bryan.... Brock vs balor.... Brock has great matches with smaller wrestlers, to the point you can suspend disbelief and think the smallwr wrestler could win, and seeing as Seth is booked to actually win it could have been great. Instead got that.

 

[AFDogs]

Good match. Crowd are exciting. Glad they can see now haha.

 

[Callums_Guns]

AJ Styles defeats Randy Orton

The view from the stands:

 

[Deathly]

A decent match but gee there was too much distraction from it.
