This time last year, Austin Theory was a comedy goon in a stable in NXT. This year he has Mr. McMahon personally introduce him for a WM match with a celeb. What a rise.

Man Butch is straight up a cartoon character

Damian Priest had been so derailed since last WM that I didn't even notice he wasn't on either show and was momentarily confused at who that was standing there. Edge starting his own Brood/Ministry of Darkness

This is fine but feels long. The pace and style I think would be more appropriate at a B PPV in an arena.

In front of 70,000 people who are loving every second of it, yes.

You know I don't think I've ever seen a smaller competitor just jump and engage in the test of strength instead of either a straight lock up or the bigger competitor switching hands

Yes, completely unironically. Both were involved in wonderful things this weekend that they couldn't get to do anywhere else.

Depending on how Theory/Pat, AJ/Edge, and Roman/Brock go, this might have a legit claim to GOAT WM if you count both nights as one event.

I think it was Knoxville or SteveO were zooted and no sold Umaga or something and the thing got scrapped

How in the fuck has WWE managed to have multiple celeb matches with celeb performers that are actually great two WMs in a row

This is 5 star sports entertainment

Both Steen and Generico in no dq matches at WM....Steen gets Austin, Generico gets Johnny Knoxville. Lmao.

1. It'd be pretty lol for Night 1 to end with Austin's music and Night 2 end with Rock's music. In 2022. 2. It'd also be pretty lol to do another year long Rock build to a match, a decade after the last time he did it, but with a family member that he's almost assuredly going to see multiple times a year at family gatherings.

Logan Paul was a better wrestler than Miz in that match, too. There was so much space between every strike Miz had that entire match and no amount of camera tricks could hide it.

Hard not to notice the similarities with how AEW handled Punk's return and how WWE handled Cody's return

Cody's please notice me, senpai complex is wild

Man all this press stuff Cody has done makes him seem like a near Hogan tier full of shit carny

Are there any pics of Bianca's face after the match? The accidental top rope koppo kick had to fuck her up.

Upon some reflection, Steve Austin is such a better fit for the grizzled old gunslinger raising hell one last time than what Taker has tried to do and been billed as for the past decade or more. In terms of character, personality, match style, and execution. Now hopefully he didn't get the itch to come back and ruin what was a very special moment for a whole lot of people.

It seemed intentionally looking like Austin was old and slow and the slow stomps looked pretty iffy, but then when he said fuck it and started them full speed it looked fine and hyped everyone up. I was actually thinking of Fritz Von Erich matches in the 80s.

This is a joke post right? If not, lmao.

I'm so glad this happened at WM in Texas and not in Saudi Arabia

I can not believe that fat, acne faced Canadian doing moonsaults in Resada now has Steve Austin taking suplexes on the floor for him in the main event of WM. That dude must be in a different plane of existence right now.

That was pretty good, definitely nowhere near as good as Becky/Bianca, but not as good or as intense/disastrous as I had thought or hoped it might be.

Cody's ideas were so bad that he got cordoned off into his own little universe and the fan base that loved him previously completely turned on him. In his own damn company. AEW will be completely fine without him, both on screen and off. Cody isn't make or break for any company for any reason.
