Either edge is winning the title at the next ppv in a one on one or

Let's go Big E

Enjoyed the two nights overall

Problematic finish. Edge was laying on Bryan before Roman pinned both, he would have reached the 3 count first

He pinned them both! What a badass. That's why he's head of the table.

Weird ending. Didn't Edge pin Bryan?
Yes, although the ref didnt count right away. At the very least Edge and Roman both pinned Bryan, so both won and it should have been mentioned. But maybe the storyline is thats why Edge will continue to challenge and we're supposed to forget about it until they bring it up

Great match but didn't like the finish. All in all, night 1 was considerably better.

Was about what I expected. My most enjoyed matches were Rollins and Cesaro night 1 and Rhea and Asuka on night 2

I thought the main event was brilliant but overall it was a fairly average Mania. Some highs, some lows, lots of meh.
A lot of the women let down backstage. I don't understand how a lot of those girls in the tag match can look at the work of the singles matches, and even the mic work by Bayley and go home thinking you put in a shift.



Great first night with the second night being typical E stuff. KO and Sami had a good match that deserved more than the tag match did. The Sheamus-Riddle match was good, but it had zero build up. Main Event was stellar as hell, and I wouldn't have been mad at 10 more minutes.

Just started watching night 2......what the hell are they going.

I stopped watching when Goldberg squashed the fiend in 30 seconds last year...they have one of the best and most complex characters in years, everything about the fiend is great and they‘ve completely fecked the character up, why the bell did Randy need that win?

Meh, pissed at that.

Too many late nights caught up with me, according to my Fitbit I crashed out at 7:30pm and then I woke up 13 hours later. Hopefully WM goes back to being 1 night next year

It will be and that's how it's planned

I've liked the two nights because it's been 3 hours each night and more manageable

The 6-7 hours was killer

Someone at WWE watched Black Panther I guess....what the feck happened to Apollo Crews and why is he suddenly the most Nigerian/Wakanda forever sounding person on the planet?

Cringing hard here on the second night of Wrestlemania it’s shite.

Having watched a bit of Takeover on Wednesday & Thursday probably set me up for the fail, had takeover been last weekend I would have been fine.
I’m just doing a Mourinho and blaming others for my mistake.

Enjoyed the first night but the second was crap in my opinion.

I might be slightly biased because I couldn’t get over The Fiend getting beat in the first match. One of the best gimmicks in years, red hot with the fans and a amazing ‘match’ with Cena at Mania then since he’s done nothing but lose.

Insane I have no idea what they’re doing.

Watch along notes:



Watching the morning after has several benefits, but for me the biggest is being able to skip America the Beautiful.



Hogan calling Titus T is very hello fellow kids.



Nice nod to Brodie from Fiend. The match, as a match, wasn’t good. The stuff with Alexa is somewhat interesting though, the suggestion that she might be in control. The crowd booing after they vanished is hilarious. I’d cheer The Fiend disappearing.



I feel like I’d enjoy a Natalya/Shayna singles match a lot more. The highlight of the entire match is them censoring the second after Nia swore. Match was ok, but for Wrestlemania? Underwhelming.



Nice to see a BRAINBUSTAH from Zayn. Good match, not the best they’ve had, but still a lot of fun.



Sheamus vs Riddle was very good. Hard hitting stuff. Not a fan of Riddle as a character, but he can go in ring. The failed White Noise was disappointing, but the Brogue Kick more than made up for it. There’s something of a tradition of the next ppv having an even better rematch of one from WM, and I think it could be this one.
Genuinely thought Bad Bunny was entering MITB for a second there.
Oh, Big E gets the guest musician performance? Nice. And he’s the hometown guy? All signs point to Apollo winning then. Oh what an awful finish. The match felt like it was just getting going. Them acting like they don’t know who Dabba-Kato is is hilarious. Can’t wait for Crews vs AJ to decide who has the best big lad partner (and Omos is Nigerian too, so they’d have that to add to things).
Ooh, Shotzi Blackheart appears to be singing Rhea’s theme. Joking aside, I’m excited for this one. Oh god that ddt. That was some very good wrestling. Sudden finish though.

Excellent triple threat match. Not having an obvious winner really helped. Really enjoyed that one.

Oh haha. Ive enjoyed the way theyve done the week. Its been nice and a good way to give each match enough time, and not burn out the crowd.

If the main event had been about 5 minutes longer and with a better ending, we'd be talking an all time great main event. Thought it was electric until the finish.

I think a few matches needed at least 5 more minutes to be honest.

Loved the arrogance of covering them both at the same time, all in all, not an all time great wrest mania but good nonetheless. Glad I watched it.

There were a couple of decent matches and spots, but overall that was one of the worst Wrestlemanias of my lifetime.

Fair play to all that enjoyed it and it was great to see fans back. But both nights were bad.

I don't know about anyone else but I would love to see Walter and Sheamus beat ten shades of shit out of each other

It was good to have fans back and there were good moments and matches, but when you consider the build to most of the matches and the event as a whole, it was certainly one of the weaker mania’s.

I normally really enjoy RAW after mania too, but I’m not holding out much hope for that either. I’ve got a feeling Becky will return, but it’d be a shame to waste that return on the thunderdome

The main event was cool and I liked the big box Wyatt was in. Not a great show but it was better than the first night at least, not having to watch Boring Lashley wrestle is always a positive!

No Cena? :confused:

Edge's pop was artificial. People were cheering for his fireworks, not him...


That man is the leading voice for so many in wrestling, wrestlers and promoters (Well, one promoter) included. It's absolutely staggering.

Seemed an unusually high amount of botches all over the shop on Raw. Askua vs Ripley couldn’t work out what they were trying to do and I think they tried the move again and it still looked botched.
Drew grabbing Braun by the beard was top notch though.

Charlotte delivering the promo that Roman should have done years ago. It was awesome.

Bliss looking like she is free from the Fiend now So probably going to go back in to circulation. Overall a really poor show, except for the Charlotte promo and the playground by Bliss.

New commentator sucked as well.

:lol:

Ridiculous. I heard the whole review and that point stuck out to me as one of his more ridiculous takes
Even Bryan Alvarez said edge got the biggest pop of the weekend

You can hear how loud the crowd get for edge when the 'you think you know me' hits before the Pyro.

I want to see how somebody on here defends another ridiculous meltzer take

Thanks , will save me time from watching. Guess I'll go back to reading WWE especially raw

Raw was horrendous. They broke up the Hurt Business only to put MVP and Lashley with Mace and T-Bar?

So the storylines I'm still not a fan of at all, but I did find RAW easier to watch last night and I'm sure it was because I took my first wrestling lesson on Monday. When you're learning basic things and trying to remember them for yourself, these more rudimentary matches that arent so innovative and creative as the matches I like to watch still have a lot I can look at and take mental note of and put the storylines to the side. It also gives me a new respect for some of the wrestlers I wasnt a big fan of before as I watch each step they are taking for what they do.

That’s cool. Is it something youve been wanting to do for a while?

Are you better than Miz yet? :lol:

Id love to see sheamus retire and never darken my TV again :lol:
Sheamus has been brilliant for a good 3 or 4 months now. I used to find him boring, but he's really turned it up/on recently - especially in the matches vs. Drew & Riddle.

RAW is an absolute shitshow, so he's easily been one of the better bits of it along with Drew, Lashley (Hurt Business) and Asuka.

Nope he's far better than me :lol: And did really well with Bad Bunny

I was never physically fit or thought I could eat anything but junk food. Now I got physically fit it makes sense to me to give it a try and whatever happens happens

TBF I rarely catch raw anymore, I stick to NXT and the PPv events, plus watching old shows on the network. Ive never been a fan though

The guy is a joke at this point and doesn't realize he's embarassing himself every time he opens his mouth.

The weird comment about Edge isn't even a matter of opinion; it's factually wrong. Anyone who watched Wrestlemania saw Edge get the loudest cheers throughout the main event. When Meltzer says something so verifiably untrue, all it does is make him look like a moron.

I was looking forward to it after an intriguing SM in terms of what happens next and my god it was tumescent.

I sort of half watched it after a while cause it was so dull.
