Wrestlemania

[Ricky Jackson]

Snap German suplex is certainly all the rage

[Kronos]

That kick to stop AA's suicide dive early in the match was insane.

[stro]

For sure the best match Aries has been involved in in about a decade or maybe even more. Neville da gawd.

[Childs]

I didn't watch all of it closely, but Aries-Neville seemed really good and hard-hitting.

[WingedEagle]

Neville vs. Austin Aries

 

Hot opening and some fun high spots around a middle that was perfectly solid but also not particularly compelling. Hot, compact finishing stretch with the 450 and awesome attack on the eye before Neville retains. Probably high on this due to the enthusiasm and the hot finish, but I really dug that attack on the eye.

 

***1/4

[PhilTLL]

Christ, Neville gut-shotted Aries on that finish. Poor guy. Solid finishing stretch (facial work!) but a bit of a mess on the way from the first highspots to there (wandering around on the apron). Curse of the style.

 

I wish the current generation of referees were less generic and indistinguishable. I realize WWE considers that desirable.

[...TG]

Good match, crowd got into it by the end. That super frankensteiner was pretty great. And loved the eye rake.

[El-P]

That's a point, it's on youtube isn't it...

 

DAMN !

[Zoo Enthusiast]

That was a fun match.

 

My prediction for first match I pass out during is Bray/Orton.

[Kronos]

The eye rake was superb heelishness!

[Matt D]

I can't wrap my mind around the set and the elevated ring (or whatever's going on there) yet.

[KawadaSmile]

Neville killed Aries with that german suplex. Must be AWFUL to take that shit.

[Robert S]

Christ, Neville gut-shotted Aries on that finish. Poor guy.

And before that he dropped him once straight on the head and once half on the head and half on the neck.

That's for Shane to take a bump. I guess.

24: Goldberg's Shirtless Son will be on the network soon, looks like

DAMN !

I think hour two is on USA, too, which is why they're doing the intro again.

[cowboy hats]

Noticed USA is carrying this hour of the kickoff

[Zoo Enthusiast]

Finally.

[Matt D]

I hope they let the RnR work the battle royal.

Oh yeah, Neville was already in the slop bucket, I just didn't get to my phone until a bunch of people had noted the suplexes. Not a great night in the annals of safety.

[cowboy hats]

That ramp is quite the canvas upon which HHH can paint his entrance later

[WingedEagle]

There look to be a lot of dudes in this battle royal. I thought 20 but apparently not?

[El-P]

Yep. Old-school baby.

 

I do love the set-up. As always. Love giant outdoor set-ups.

[Childs]

I love it that Show and Strowman were the only ones to get entrances.
