That was maybe the worst go-home show for a WrestleMania ever. Which isn't a huge surprise since it looks like maybe the worst WrestleMania card ever. Pretty sure I'm cancelling the network in a week.

Worst card ever?

Definitely the most underwhelming.

They cannot make a new star to save their lives. Had 3 chances this year with Lynch, Rollins, and Kofi and they've misstepped damn near every step of the way on all 3 of them. Even Roman is back down to Earth after he should've had one of the greatest comeback stories of all time.

I did like the ending of the women match everybody arrested rhonda get kneed. becky and rhonda fighting in the cop car. It was fun.

The card is okay. Buildup has been total shit and they somehow found a way to totally wreck Ronda/Becky.

Amazing isn't it...kinda crazy how the match still has a lot of hype even though the build up has been a cluster****.

Personally just ready for it to get here and be done with it.

Not a talent thing. How the talent is paired. There really isn't a match I'm interested in seeing outside the women, and I'm not all that hyped on how they forced Charlotte into that one, either.

It's like they put names on a board and threw darts at it blindfolded. And then the build made It even worse. I mean shit, they ended the go-home Raw with Corbin. It's like they want me to check out.

I just don't see how this is going to be anything but a long, boring mania...

Thank God for the NXT show and the G1 Supercard show...they'll make up for the slog on Sunday.

Dark Side if the Ring
 

Viceland will be airing a docu-series starting April 10 on the dark side of wrestling that looks pretty interesting. Here is an article on it:

Almost. It's still better than the Katie Vick story line :eek:

Really good NXT show. No surprise there. Tag team opener and dream/riddle were both good. Walter/dunne didn't work for me; they didn't seem in synch, but it was still okay. Women's match was solid. Gargano/Cole was ****ing fantastic. Likely best match and moment of the weekend, and it might not be close.

Probably good they have the hall of fame as a buffer between this and mania.

If AEW ever gets a serious TV deal, they'll end up beating WWE in ratings, and will start to force Vince's hand, just as Turner/Eric Bischoff did in the late 90's.

The current WWE product is ****ing garbage on all levels, and everyone knows it...those who say otherwise are lying to themselves. Not sure why anyone gives any of their time and $ to them.

Gargano and Cole was ****ing great

That NXT show top to bottom was one of the best shows, maybe even top 3, I've ever watched.

Holy shit was it good....and there's still the G1 Supercard show tomorrow night.

It was great thou the end damn onions.

I’m on and off with wrestling. Was into it during the hulkamania era with warrior and savage,etc. lost interest until the stone cold/nwo/Monday night wars era. Then lost interest again except during the CM Punk drama. Tried to watch it the other day and it’s awful. Way too many women’s matches. Does anyone actually like it now?

I’ll watch tomorrow, with zero expectations... not sure a single match gets me truly excited.

Famous last words.

Dunne and Walter was probably match of the night. Gargano and Cole was a close second tho

What a ****ing idiot. Travis Browne was right on top of that fool with a couple dozen other guys to follow.

oddly enough Enzo and Cass jumped the barrier at G1 and attacked the Briscoes and Bully Ray lol

I think that guy should be left alone with bret nattie teddy and davey boy smith jr. And just watch the magic happen.

Obvious work

Not a work

Shouldve just let Travis Browne deal with him.

what a pos

Pretty sure Wilder damn near knocked him out.

He got a damn good uppercut in

Wearing that thing on his head was clue number 1 that fan is a ****ing idiotm

Something about making your star babyface conquer ‘The Beast’ with a low blow just... sucks ass.

Just wait until Lesnar comes back out and screws Kofi. I can totally see them pulling that shit.

The tag team match was pretty entertaining.

So people like Kofi now? Isn't he a middling slightly above jobber? And they want him to beat Daniel Bryan, who I thought everyone loved? I'm really out of the loop

Isnt Kofi almost a grand slam champion? Thats not jobber status by any stretch

Any streams for Wrestlemania?

So watching WrestleMania. First time watching WWE in a long time...women's matches and announcers kind of suck.

This is a terrible botch fest by 2 guys who should be doing much better. Terrible.

Good finish at least. Good for Kofi.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

This show has been quite good. Exceeded my expectations by a long shot.

First two matches were duds, but pretty solid outside of the womens tag.

........ what in the ****?

Your face looks like my nuts, except you've got a hairier bush

LMAO **** that.

Jesus LMAO

Idk what is happening but I love it

50-year-old Haitch, getting back dat pin.

ROFL ROFL

I've been watching since 4pm. I'm exhausted. Still 2 more matches after this too.

Is that Travis Browne dropping bombs on the guy?

Yikes.

I did not think this was gonna run past 11. Jesus.

Loved that Balor won, hate that Charlotte's about to win this.

Show is way too long. Crowd is completely dead.

Tables are for bitches, apparently.

Whew, dodged a bullet there.

Botch or work on the shoulders?

Shame about the crowd. Better match than it seemed because they weren't in it. Not that it's their fault, 7 and half hours is brutal.

Would be hilarious if it was a second screwjob and only Ronda didn't know the ending.

Not that I think that's it.

****ing ridiculous that the first women's main event in WrestleMania history is won by a man.

Work. They weren't going to have Ronda job like a bitch because she'll be in the ring again someday.

Kofi and DB really should have gone on last.

What a completely boring and forgettable show.....

Eh at least Kofi won and we got Batista fumbling his way into the ring and HBK's historically horrid commentary lol.

That match would've felt like the women's match if it was last. That crowd was ****ing worn out. Too many matches.

WWE crowds have been dead for almost 20yrs

OK, who won the 3 way, Rhonda, Charlotte or The fiery redheaded Man?

The man becky won!

Oh boy, that will get a Rowdy Flair going! :D

The finish for the women’s match was botched.

I thought HBK was back on the somas during commentary

LOL it was so good in all the worst ways....hilarious.

I have a feeling AEW will end up on TBS. I know the Khans gave their Super Bowl tickets to the AEW guys and there may have also been meetings when they were down in Atlanta. They have a lot of work to do to build up the roster but they have a damn good start. If they somehow get Punk then things will get a lot more interesting.

Meltzer was hinting that Double or Nothing might stream via the service of the network they signed a deal with...I thought that was interesting. Does TBS/Turner have one? I think they have a deal with Bleacher Report or something like that?

I don't know that they have anything standalone but I know they have partnered up with Hulu to some extent. Bleacher Report streaming would be cool. Jim Ross said in an interview recently that they will be on tv starting in October.

No crowd is going to be popping after 8 hours, we're getting to the point that Mania might need to be 2 days.

Overall I thought it was a good show, the matches were solid enough and the people tha should have won did for the most part.

Either shorten the show or spread it out over 2 days. After the Kofi win/celebration the crowd was gone.

People were also leaving early because getting out of there after midnight was a ****ing disaster for most people.

The card structuring was shit, too. Having Roman/Drew go on when it did just zapped the **** out of the crowd and only Vince can get 82k people to chant Asshole at a cancer survivor.

Beginning of the card was just ok. I hated how the Rollins/Brock match happened but the result was fine and Randy Orton can drag down any match.

The middle of the card was strong till Roman and Drew and the rest of the card was downhill.

The whole Ronda/Becky/Charlotte stuff was all way too much.

They weren't chanting/booing at Roman. Something was going on in the upper deck.

Arguably worse since no one gave a shit about Roman.

Bret hurt his hip. That's nice.

I haven't heard anything about that, but I did hear the boos before they hard muted the crowd.

This picture is ****ing awesome.

Right afterwards my thought was that it was a pretty good show. Maybe one of the better recent manias. After sleeping on it that's what I still think.

Match order was nearly perfect aside from just having too many. The right people won, which was unexpected. And aside from Roman and Drew the matches were all solid to good. Nothing classic outside of Kofi's win, and of course Hunter had to have the most time, but otherwise everything delivered.

So, collectively, a good mania.

But if they're gonna run towards 8 hours in the future, then somehow they need to do it over 2 days.

I think it was far from ideal, but they also benefited from very low expectations heading in and the last good handful of WM's sucking.

They really need to change WM to a 2 day event or gut the **** out of that roster. Too many people in matches simply because they want to get them the wm payday.

A lot of the matches were practically meaningless.

Going to be damn near impossible to do a 2 day Mania. Smackdown on Friday and Takeover on Saturday, and throw in the HOF somewhere too.
