Not Q & Sal as celebs (way down on the alphabet chart, but still) but the bit as part of WrestleMania? I mean that isnt going to be on the DVD or anything?

Downend2005 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have no problems with Asuka losing. The bigger issue to me is that she submitted. A streak ending on a finish so decisive seems overdone. Would a screwjob have been better? I'd have gone with the Bret/Piper WM8 finish when Charlotte countered the Asuka lock personally.

Loss Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have no problems with Asuka losing. The bigger issue to me is that she submitted. A streak ending on a finish so decisive seems overdone. Would a screwjob have been better? No, but a pinfall would have. The time to do the countout or DQ is on TV with someone like Alexa or Carmela. My point was that they still had more fuel left in that tank before they emptied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Did I miss anything or there were no celebrity stuff this year ? Kid Rock wasn't even there, was he? I heard a rumor that he was told not to come because he went political in his HOF speech after being asked not to. Don't ask me where I saw that - WM was too damn long and I have a splitting headache. The reaction shot of AJ and Angle laughing like idiots after Kid Rock's comment about beating up Democrats did no one any favors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think the Figure-Eight is also kind of a tough sell as an instant submission. Yes, it's got more oomph than the Figure-Four but we've been conditioned for decades that a Figure Four only ever ends a match against jobbers (or maybe it could end a fall in a 2/3 falls match but not the match itself) and that it's there to be turned over to set up whatever the real finish is.

Boss Rock Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 And the fact that she was able to pull it off with one hand and submit her seemed a little overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 The Rousey debut might be the best WM match I've seen since Undertaker/Michaels. Just a really fun, intense, old-school wrestling match. Everyone played their parts perfectly, and it was just personally great for me to see Kurt Angle in a WrestleMania match again. Even the fact that he's slowed down considerably played right into the psychology of the match. Did I miss anything or there were no celebrity stuff this year ? Kid Rock wasn't even there, was he? I heard a rumor that he was told not to come because he went political in his HOF speech after being asked not to. Don't ask me where I saw that - WM was too damn long and I have a splitting headache. The reaction shot of AJ and Angle laughing like idiots after Kid Rock's comment about beating up Democrats did no one any favors. I don't know, it worked out for this guy. Considering he was there in spirit because that stupid song was playing on all night, I don't care that he didn't show up with the rest of the class.

The Thread Killer Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Kid Rock wasn't there because he had other commitments and was never scheduled to be there to begin with. The whole rumor about him being told not to come because of the joke he made at the HOF about "body-slamming Democrats" is just Twitter B.S. that spread last night. I don't even like Kid Rock as a musician, nor do I agree with the way he expresses his "political views" but that rumor was just goofy. It's not like WWE didn't know who they were getting when they inducted him into the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte could have easily turned that into a sudden pin and gotten her that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Really strong Mania on the whole that was REALLY fucking long. My viewing was definitely helped by consuming it in 2 chunks, rather than live but even then, I was ready for it to wrap up after Nak/Styles. Mixed tag was probably MOTN with Ronda looking like an absolute natural and Steph giving off the greatest performance of her career. She should seriously just pack it in now, she's never going to top that. HHH/Angle were there and I thought HHH bumped and worked hard to cover Angle's deficiencies. Nak/Styles was a really well worked match in front of a crowd that was totally burnt out. The heel turn was a hot angle and I'm glad they're trying to inject some life into the feud since you can't sell a "Dream Match" twice. Even then, the Dream Match was cold as hell. Main event was a total clusterfuck and I can't believe that they're still throwing money at Brock, The dude is worthless; we're going to get a rematch with Reigns in a cage and then what? Another 5 minute main event opposite Lashley? The act could justify itself when they were thin on top but look at the workers they have in top positions now. Without Brock, your Raw main event scene could be Reigns, Joe, Braun, Lashley, Miz, Rollins and Balor. That's a group of guys that the crowd is into and pop for. Anyway, everything else was great. I'd have liked to see Asuka and Rusev go over but Charlotte is their golden girl and she's great in her own right so whatever. The Rusev result though. It's pretty ridiculous that the dude put together a great act with English, came up with a catchphrase that everyone loves, has a top selling merch item and is a bonafide mega worker and they won't do anything with him. Yet they're content to rake in the money from his shirts. I hope he does get his release and can work in places that will give him the chance to shine. I think I've focused on the negatives too much but the opener exceeded all expectations, the Cena/Taker angle/squash was pretty much worked perfectly, the Braun/Nicholas stuff felt like a bit of a let down but I'm not sure that they could have delivered anybody that would have satisfied, especially with the match they worked. The two women's matches were strong and I liked the three pre-show matches all in all. They need to shorten these shows right down but this was probably my favourite Mania since 30. Also, the show is long but Rusev losing pretty much killed the crowd. And then once Rousey was done, they just tapped out. That should have went last.

FMKK Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 HHH going in the middle of the last two Manias to make sure he gets on before the crowd is burned out is quite a thing. He's still the Game lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookysaku Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I would argue the Taker angle killed the crowd. I'm looking forward to rewatching Styles/Nak eventually. Even when I was tired it seemed to be a very good modern WWE match on the wrong show. Lots of crisp offense, good sense of struggle, but absent of something to push it over the edge.
