Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens

[goodhelmet]

The Usos vs. The Dudley Boyz

Surprisingly decent match even with that weirdly abrupt superkick finish. Bubba was showing some Bully Ray heat in there and even with the face-heel dynamic off there was a lot of nice action. Could have been early on the Pontiac Silverdome show in 87 and worked just as well (tables aside). Usos getting booed was lame: so far I have no love for this smark troll crowd.

This is not a snark troll crowd. Dudleys played to the crowd like faces.

People even still getting mad about the terrible commentary eludes me. I agree that it's awful, but half the time I'm listening to something else while watching, and the other half I'm just totally ignoring/tuning out what the announcers are saying.

 

Emma was hands down the best performer on the two-hour pre-show. Good on her for getting the Mania payday.

Wow big crowd

I can tune out the typical sports pbp and color team. Can't do it with these clowns because they almost literally say the same thing over and over and it's in WWE-speak, a language close enough to English that it's very distracting and annoying.

[JerryvonKramer]

Lack of hulk in montage is glaring.

[cowboy hats]

Said the same about Bart Gunn

[Steenalized]

That is a big damn crowd

Rob Feinstein being shown was my Wrestlemania moment.

You know what? If your biggest show ever starts with Michael Cole saying, "It is the evening that upstarts show youthful exuberance...", then you guys are right: this commentary is notably bad.

I'm using a FireTV Stick in the living rom. Any tips for making the video less juddery (it's already close to the modem) or is this thing just a piece of shit? My Roku 3 in the bedroom is much better.

Stardust with the polka dots!

[Childs]

This IC title line-up is staggeringly bad.

[funkdoc]

it's basically just owens vs. zayn, with the need to give more guys a WM payday i guess

[cowboy hats]

And their inability to book more than three proper feuds at a time. Just throw a bunch of guys into a match, who cares.

[JerryvonKramer]

I hated the ladder match last year, this is just ...

[cowboy hats]

...full of youthful exuberance?

[FMKK]

Superkick should be retired.

Me too. Can't stand these matches.

 

But, God damn, Cody is ruling tonight.

[Stiva]

Polka dot ladder!!

[Johnny Sorrow]

My friend Amanda here who doesn't watch wrestling is in love with Ryder. When he got crotchets she shuddered and said " I'll take care of that boo boo." 😄

[Childs]

I just want these WWE stunt-a-thons to go away, and if that makes me old man yelling at cloud, I'll happily own that.

[WingedEagle]

I'd probably hate this match on Raw, but there's absolutely a place for it on this show. Diversity on a wrestling card is a good thing. Loving it.

[cpst]

Owens pulling out the claw in Texas, nice.

[WingedEagle]

Half-nelson suplex!!!

[C.S.]

HOLY SHIT!!!
