Let the record books show that Vince McMahon won a match IN THE YEAR 20-FUCKING-22

By pinning Pat McAfee, Vince has finally earned his first victory at Wrestlemania, 21 years after his debut match at the event.

He is now 1-4.

Me when it’s Saturday night but I got work in the morning

Romna wuns lol

That was a flat ending. I wonder if that was planned or if Roman was legit injured like commentary was speculating he was.

Well that ended abruptly…

@LeoNero
Yeah…

Also, never thought I’d see the day the WWE Championship got retired.

Last year, I made the comment of something along the lines of if you took night 1 of WrestleMania 37 and added the main event of WrestleMania 37 night 2, you’re probably looking at the best WrestleMania since 30. I thought this year’s WrestleMania was the best since WrestleMania 31.

I think night 1 this year was stronger than night 2, but I thought this year’s night 2 was better than last year’s. Other than the New Day stuff, and the ending of night 2 being anticlimactic, I can’t really think of anything I would consider bad.

I look back on WrestleMania last year, and it had a bunch of highs and lows. We had Sasha Vs Bianca and Roman Vs Daniel Vs Edge, which arguably was better than any match this year, but we also had The Fiend Vs Orton, which was worse than anything on this year’s event. On the whole, last year’s Mania had better matches, but I think this year was more consistent in quality. Plus, the moments of Cody’s return, the Steve Austin match, the Knoxville match, and the Pat McAfee stuff was stronger and more memorable than anything last year, minus maybe Bad Bunny.

Overall, I’d give night 1 a 7.5 out of 10 and night 2 a 6 out of 10. If night 1 didn’t have the Austin match and the Cody return, it would probably be a 5. Likewise, if night 2 didn’t have the three team title match and the stuff with Knoxville and McAfee, we’re probably looking at a 4. But because both nights had a bunch of good stuff– even if Edge and AJ in my opinion underdelivered– it was a spectacular two night event. The best WrestleMania since 2015.

Lets recap:

Austin had its final match
Vince got his first mania victory
Logan Paul was actually good on his first match
Johnny Knoxville tried to get himself killed

And its not even June!

@QuasarNova
Weird year for Wrestling.

Oh yeah I forgot, Bad Bunny is really fucking good as well

What even is this timeline

If you really think about it, Charlotte and Ronda was a better match than Roman and Brock. Even though Charlotte and Ronda was boring at times, at least it told a story and was hard-hitting and physical. Roman and Brock was a finisher spam fest like all their other matches. Their match in Saudi Arabia was better.

Overall I give WrestleMania a 7/10

Just a thought, who’s gonna be the next rival for Reigns?

Heh, nice.

Wrestlemania gets a light 6 or 6.5/10 few bangers but some matches ended up a total disaster Reigns vs Lesnar build up was great sadly their match was a disappointment.

Edge vs AJ was great
Pat vs Austin loved it
Woman’s 4 way Tag Team okay Sasha finally gets her Wrestlemania win
RAW Tag Team title match good
Sami vs Johnny didn’t like it
Triple H made me cry
New Day vs Sheamus and Ridge rushed
Bobby vs Omos skipped
Roman vs Lesnar a let down

I wish WWE would stop hyping up stuff like “The biggest match this” or the “Greatest match” that. Cause it seems like more times than not if you hype up a match that much, it’s likely to underwhelm. Case in point, the main event. It left me going…..“That’s it?”

Favorite match of night 1: Cody Rhodes Vs Seth Freakin Rollins
Favorite match of night 2: Pat Mcafee Vs Austin Theory

Best match

Night 1 Cody vs Rollins
Night 2 Edge vs AJ Styles

Worst match

Night 1 Charlotte vs Ronda
Night 2 New Day vs Sheamus and Ridge

Disappointing

Night 1 Smackdown Tag Team title match
Night 2 Roman vs Lesnar

Remember guys it’s my opinion

Hearing Roman Reigns legitimately has a shoulder injury. I kinda knew something was weird because the match ended so abruptly, i can only assume the had to call an audible and end it early because of it. There was still 10 minutes left of 6 hours.

@LeoNero
Huh, knowing how the Kimura can break bones, this might be the problem.

If you didn’t like Sami and Knoxville, you aren’t a real wrestling fan. Don’t @ me.

Apparently the rumor is we might be getting a faction consisting of Edge, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Tommaso Ciampa. If that ends up happening, my goodness. What a badass fucking stable.
