Wrestlemania 35: The KawadaSmile tribute thread

[Matt D]

I had to pick up the eldest at 2 am last night after an orchestra trip. I'm not actually sure I'm making it tonight.

Triple H winning will never be a good result in my eyes

[stunning_grover]

I only have three more beers in the fridge. I hope the main event starts soon...

[El Dragon]

This needs to go 2 minutes and needs a Corbin control segment less then the Joker movie needs a Jared Leto cameo.

[stunning_grover]

Man... this crowd is dead...

[Matt D]

It's amazing how serene and perfect Bryan/Kofi was. Wrestling can be that.

It can also be this.

[stunning_grover]

WrestleManias 6 through 10 are still the best WrestleManias, in my opinion...

He has all the power in the world to work his matches however he wants and he's meant to be this genius booker for NXT. How does he not see that these matches die on their arse every time?

Hilarious that Bryan and Kofi got the prime spot instead of him this year.

[Matt D]

Was Corbin confused by the Babe Ruth thing too? 

[stunning_grover]

Wow... crowd woke up...

[El Dragon]

Heel in match referencing opponent everyone wishes was in this match instead of him.

[Jmare007]

That was old school. And completely pointless.

[CarpetCrawler]

Time honored tradition I guess.  I knew it was over when Kurt went for that moonsault.

[Childs]

Why? That sucked.

[El Dragon]

The continued push of Corbin is mind numbing

[...TG]

We almost had a dead gold medalist on that moonsault, folks.

[Shrike02]

Much much more whisky.

Like I ask every year, what is the point of a 5-hour WrestleMania? What does WWE think the point is?

Every match HHH has reminds me how amazing a feat was Daniel Bryan giving him a classic at Mania 30.

[Matt D]

Maybe they could have done an Elias/Lashley/Corbin/Batista vs Cena/Balor/Angle/Triple H match and we could all be asleep by now.

For some reason they want everyone on the roster to work Mania and have convinced themselves that a 5-7 hour show is special in a good way.

[WingedEagle]

Why did that happen?  The Corbin push/employment is still one of the most mind boggling.  He's not good in the ring, doesn't have a good look, and isn't charismatic.  I could go on but surely there has to be something beyond his height?

[stunning_grover]

Maybe it's Steph McMahon's plan all along... to have shitty matches before the big women's main event and make history?

[Matt D]

Look, Joan Jett is 60. She's probably asleep by now. I'm worried about Ronda's entrance.

He can actually talk pretty well. His heel character work is good imo. And tbh, he isn't terrible in the ring either and can be good with the right opponent. Kurt Angle, who can't even stand upright, is not the right opponent for anyone to have a good match with.
