Wrestlemania 35: The KawadaSmile tribute thread

[FMKK]

Match was fine as an opener. 

Nese got out of Murphy's finish without a kick-out so hopefully a sign they're protecting him enough to go up to the main shows. His 205 race is run.

That's the 205 curse. I guess maybe his physique wouldn't stand out amongst the main guys but if he was doing these matched vs Finn Balor third from last on a regular PPVs show we would definitely be far more over.

I assume Murphy losing is a precursor to him getting into the main roster. You can only hope he’s getting called up to Smackdown so he can rustle with Rey, Styles and Bryan

[CarpetCrawler]

I need the fuck out of Sal's WrestleMania jacket he was wearing in that interview.

[Childs]

Nese has always sucked, and that certainly wasn't one of Murphy's better matches. But it was OK. Excited to be here for the long haul, folks. Time to get punchy.

[FMKK]

Hoping that Mandy or Sonya get the uterus trophy

Lilian's back for the Ovary Cup Battle Royale.

[FMKK]

I can't be the only one who finds Nikki Cross unwatchable 

[sek69]

Kacey gonna do the Kofi spots here?

[Downend2005]

That wasn’t a great opening match. Hopefully Murphy is on his way to the main roster, but that would be another blow to 205 so soon after losing Mustafa Ali.

Pat McAfee and Sam Roberts are the worst. 

Naomi just got jobbed hard in the battle royal. Looks like her complaining about her creative direction on Twitter did her a world of good. 

[Stiva]

I don’t mean to sound dismissive and sexist but the women have got a lot better at taking battle royal bumps over the top rope

[FMKK]

We've had our first 'WRESTLEMANIA MOMENT' on commentary I think. Everyone sink your drinks

[Childs]

We've already gotten "Wrestlemania moment" in each of the pre-show matches. If it were a drinking game, we'd all be dead by 9 pm.

[CarpetCrawler]

lmao they actually got me with Carmella, I completely forgot she was in this.

[sek69]

Guess all the New Yorkers win tonight.

[C.S.]

Lame finish. Fuck that.

[Stiva]

Carmella winning as a troll toward Enzo and Big Cass

Nothing wrong with a hometown win but I was kinda hoping it would be Sonya or Logan out of that final crew to set up a new push.

 

Big weekend for the New Jersey crew all round lol

[CarpetCrawler]

All of the crowd favorites got eliminated early and they kinda took the crowd out of the match with that until the ending sequence.

[Badlittlekitten]

What a random set of eliminations. These battle royals mean fuck all don't they lol.

[...TG]

Really smart opening the gates early - the stadium looks amazing in the daylight and the stands filled up. 

I have a feeling we're going to see many, many quick cuts to the overhead camera tonight. Get your dramamine ready.

Lawler championing women in the business during the panel is a hoot. As is his jacket.

[FMKK]

I hope that story about Becky coming to King to talk about watching his punches on YouTube is true

[FMKK]

I bet Hunter bags himself the slot about three or four matches in when it's just starting to get dark

Lawler loves young women in the business - he's certainly fucked enough of them. 

[FMKK]

Absolute state of Shawn

[Downend2005]

What a bizarrely booked battle royal. The babyface hides for the whole match and then wins.

And so much for Asuka winning this as a make good for losing the title.

I’d have preferred a Sonya or Ruby Riott win, at least something could have been made out of that going forward. I know I’m overthinking this.
