This is really disappointing thus far.

This IS Edge wrestling, after all. It will pick up in the end, but still...

[WingedEagle]

I figured it was north of 4* or south of 2*.  The Rollins matches generally hit and Orton series had a high ceiling and lower floor.  This seems closer to the floor than the ceiling.

Apparently AJ got nicked by either the pyro or a piece of the set on the way out, so that's why he looked like he Kerry Von Erich'd himself.

TBH, AJ has yet to have a truly great match at WrestleMania (not counting the Boneyard Match, which was great but a different animal entirely).

AJ vs Shane is a miracle that exists and it was very good

Miracle maybe, but I didn't love it.

If that's his best WrestleMania match outside of Boneyard, it kind of proves my point. 

[KawadaSmile]

Wrap it up, lads. For real.

[WingedEagle]

I do not like when Edge works an iron man match without the clock.

[strobogo]

This is fine but feels long. The pace and style I think would be more appropriate at a B PPV in an arena.

[KawadaSmile]

This was whatever. Decent, but still the worst match of the weekend (good indicator of how good the show has been)

[PhilTLL]

I liked that, the flip side of 2.9 crazy nearfall wrestling compared to Rhodes/Rollins, by two guys with much better pacing and drama.

Not the best of the night but not the worst of the weekend. But I would need to rewatch it.

Priest as Edge's lackey makes sense, as early on in NXT he was essentially Edge-lite in terms of character.

[strobogo]

Damian Priest had been so derailed since last WM that I didn't even notice he wasn't on either show and was momentarily confused at who that was standing there. Edge starting his own Brood/Ministry of Darkness

FIGHT NIGHT VS NEW DAY LET'S GOOOOOOO

[KawadaSmile]

hey look at our boy BUTCH

[KawadaSmile]

They are dressed up in Big E-inspired gear that's sooooo wholesome

Man Butch is straight up a cartoon character

My thoughts exactly. He has the mannerisms down pat, it's insane.

[WingedEagle]

Are they actually going to wrap this up before midnight?

[SteveJRogers]

Here’s the cool down match time

But we just had AJ vs Edge!

I think this will get people hyped up. Pat is great at this shit, and will carry Theory to something dope.

[KawadaSmile]

Yeah, Vince IS taking some bumps tonight bubbas

[Strummer]

Apparently AJ was bleeding because he bumped his head on the Mania stage

Odd take. Theory is pretty good himself. Remember, Bubba, he's only 24 years old. He hasn't even entered his prime yet.

[jiraffejustin]

Let's go Pat.
