WrestleMania 33: The Official Thread

[Droford]

Naomi briefly possessed by the demon that possesses finn balor

[DAMN iNATOR]

Can't see them NOT giving Naomi back her title. Would be cruel and unusual punishment to her and the Orlando fans...

[Theo Dious]

That match was 10x better than their WMXX match

Easily.

[Nicky Fives]

New Day out for another surprise?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Mickie also looking HAWT tonight.

[Droford]

6 Pack Challenge is code for

6 minute Challenge

[Triple A]

Samoa Joe... Nope. Ellsworth.... He gets in.

Ellsworth rules.......

[Triple A]

What is Alexa Bliss's "cosplay" that every1 kept talking about

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah I liked that it was just 2 big hosses spamming their big moves. I mean you'd love a bit more of a full on HOSS BRAWL but Goldberg would legit die of a heart attack. Gotta protect Billy.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Carmella, too...her gear looks a little Eve-esque.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Naomi just re-injure herself?

[Droford]

Becky got her hair done by whoever does Bray's

[Triple A]

Is this an elimination match or nah

[DAMN iNATOR]

What is Alexa Bliss's "cosplay" that every1 kept talking about

Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad.

[Droford]

CARMANIA

almost as good as KO MANIA

[Triple A]

I guess there are no surprise entrants...

[Emperor Smeat]

Ellsworth looks ridiculous.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is this an elimination match or nah

Nope, first pin/submission wins.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is this an elimination match or nah

Nope. 1st pin/sub ends the match.

[Triple A]

Isn't it racist if white people have dreads

[Maluco]

Becky Lynch for worst look of the night?

[Locke]

Cool fisherman suplex on James Elssworth

[DAMN iNATOR]

Isn't it racist if white people have dreads

LOL, what? No. Why would you think that? No judgment, just curious.

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks like Naomi really did tweak her knee again.

[Locke]

LOL, what? No. Why would you think that? No judgment, just curious.

lol

[Sepholio]

Becky Lynch for worst look of the night?

I dunno I find her oddly attractive tonight.

[Droford]

trainwreck of a match

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would be cool if Mickie did win #7 tonight. "Feel good moment" or whatever...

[Bad News Gertner]

Naomi's entrance is dope

[Theo Dious]

Aww dammit.

[Maluco]

I legit really like Naomi. Think she is really unique.

[Droford]

6 Pack Challenge is code for

6 minute Challenge

correctamundo

[Dark One]

Looks like Naomi really did tweak her knee again.

Would laugh uncontrollably if she had to relinquish it again on Tuesday, because I am a monster.

[Nicky Fives]

Meh. Never liked Naomi, hopefully just a transitional champion to Asuka....

[KIRA]

Isn't it racist if white people have dreads

No. Also,Kalisto and now Mickie why is Tatanka's gear so popular?

And what is Becky supposed to be here?

[Locke]

Don't they always humiliate people when they are in their hometown... why would she win

[Evil Vito]

As much as I love Alexa, I don't mind Naomi going over and getting the big hometown moment. Especially since it's pretty clear she was never meant to drop the belt in the first place.

[Droford]

That would have probably gotten 15 on the preshow but WOMENS POWER!!! GOTTA BE ON THE MAIN SHOW!! ugh

[Dark One]

2/5

[Emperor Smeat]

Match needed more time to find a groove but makes sense why it was short. At least it didn't get dropped like people were speculating online.

[Droford]

Camping World should send Vince a letter in the mail

[Dark One]

35,742 of which can actually see the ring.

[Emperor Smeat]

Real crowd number is probably like 15k-20k lower.

[DAMN iNATOR]

75,000+ Attendance. CALLED IT!

[Locke]

How do you watch the video of xavier woods' cock

[Droford]

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!

[Dark One]

Despite living in Oregon, I'm pretty sure if I opened my windows and muted my TV, I'm pretty sure I would hear Roman's reaction from here.

[DAMN iNATOR]

35,742 of which can actually see the ring.

Wonder which of those categories Shisen falls into...

[Droford]

the changing of the big dog?

his diaper?

[Dark One]

"Tonight could be the changing... of the big dog!"

What the fuck does that even mean.

[slik]

I think overall this has been one of the better WM's this decade

[Dark One]

"Tonight could be the changing... of the big dog!"

What the fuck does that even mean.

Did Cole accidentally read Byron's line?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Despite living in Oregon, I'm pretty sure if I opened my windows and muted my TV, I'm pretty sure I would hear Roman's reaction from here.

I just did and I already can.

[Emperor Smeat]

This match and tomorrow is pretty much going to make or break Reigns status as a mega star.

Reigns wins and doesn't turn heel is going to kill off what he has left while a Taker win will flat out kill it.

[Emperor Smeat]

"Tonight could be the changing... of the big dog!"

What the fuck does that even mean.

Cole just warning everyone ahead of time this match will end right before midnight.

[Evil Vito]

Reigns will win. The million dollar question is if they will do that fucking horrible handshake bit at the end.

[KIRA]

My only solice is that my grandchildren will actually get to see Undertaker get in the ring.

[Dark One]

I think overall this has been one of the better WM's this decade

Yeah. Pretty solid.

I'd say Wrestlemania 30 was significantly better, but this has been better than the last couple of years, at least.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I think overall this has been one of the better WM's this decade

Let the main event happen before being so hasty. I agree it's been about a B/B+, but this match will make or break perception of it after tonight.

[Dark One]

Reigns will win. The million dollar question is if they will do that fucking horrible handshake bit at the end.

"You're the real phenom now, Roman. Thank you for letting me Rest... In... Peace."

[DAMN iNATOR]

ROMAN GOING FOR THE SPEAR AND MAHGAHD IT'S STING! WE'RE OUT OF TIME, GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

[Frank Drebin]

Can't wait to hear Cole scream "SUPERMAN PUNCH" 50 times in 15 minutes.

[Dark One]

Can't wait to hear Cole scream "SUPERMAN PUNCH" 50 times in 15 minutes.

"SUPERMAN PUNCH AT THE ULTIMATE THRILL RIDE"

[Droford]

Cena should have wrestled Taker, won and then proposed to Nikki

would have been super awesome

[Nicky Fives]

BOOMER SOONER!

[Dark One]

If anyone could make this match amazing, it's Jim Ross.

[Theo Dious]

GOOD OL' JR

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well, either JR is back to introduce new Barbecue Skittles or ready to call this match.

[Theo Dious]

Though... with his recent loss... calling the Undertaker's match?

[Evil Vito]

JR, the toughest guy in the arena.

[Droford]

REMEMBER WHEN THESE TWO HATED EACH OTHER

[RP]

my favorite Michael Cole line tonight was when Owens put a finger on the rope and Cole says " That wasnt a finger... that was uhhhh knuckle ". But it was literally a finger tip. Like the motherfucker dont know what a knuckle is apparently.

[Frank Drebin]

"I know it's been a rough couple of weeks" he says.

[Gerard]

75k, so yet again wwe set another bullshit record. 65k is max official capacity. I bet they​ could hold wrestlemania in a shitter and manage to get 100k into it.

[Dark One]

Warms my heart to see JR calling the main event after all he's been through the past couple of weeks. That and Angle makes me feel like WWE really does care about their employees--or at least some of them. Some times.

[Droford]

NO DQ..

hmm

[Locke]

they fucked up roman reigns' pyro

[Nicky Fives]

No DQ stip calls for some sort of shenanigans....

[KIRA]

"I know it's been a rough couple of weeks" he says.

Was hoping they wouldnt even allude to it

[slik]

Here we go!

[Dark One]

Jesus Christ.

JR talking about Roman Reigns for 30 seconds has legitimized him more than the last two years combined.

[Nicky Fives]

75k, so yet again wwe set another bullshit record. 65k is max official capacity. I bet they​ could hold wrestlemania in a shitter and manage to get 100k into it.

That doesn't account for all the seats on the floor or all the extra people in all the luxury/press boxes....

[RP]

Did Samoa Joe have sex with someones mom?

[slik]

I think even if Taker loses he will get "called out" next year and WM and come out with his big entrance and hit a chokeslam on someone

I could see Vince McMahon calling that a "happy ending" to his career tbh

[Locke]

tired, why am i watching this, i dont care about it

[DAMN iNATOR]

JR, the toughest guy in the arena.

It's his yard.

[RP]

This has to be a Samoa Joe interference.

[Evil Vito]

ROMAN REIGNS

THE GUY WITH THE COOL TATTOOS!

ROMAN REIGNS

THE GUY WHO GETS ALL THE BOOS!

[Dark One]

There's your answer, have him appear halfway down the ramp.

[Droford]

TAker gets to walk half the ramp lol

[Dark One]

Moment of the weekend is Aleister Black's entrance.

[Frank Drebin]

So Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens is closing out the show?

[Gerard]

That doesn't account for all the seats on the floor or all the extra people in all the luxury/press boxes....

Still an obviously bs number regardless.

[Nicky Fives]

No Under-carter tonight....

[KIRA]

I don't think they'll ever top Takers "Damned souls" entrance

[Evil Vito]

It's a WrestleMania tradition for me to to turn off the lights for Undertaker's entrance to try to achieve maximum blueness.

[Dark One]

No Under-carter tonight....

Smart money was on druids wheeling him down in a casket, for sure.

[RP]

I'm still trying to figure out why Sasha took a cart ride

[Nicky Fives]

Still an obviously bs number regardless.

I always assumed that the number was right, only it included all the crew backstage, concessions workers, security, literally every single human being in the arena.... It inflates the numbers, but could be argued that all were "in attendance" despite not having paid a ticket to the show....

[Frank Drebin]

The dry cleaners did a terrible job pressing Taker ' s jacket.

[Gerard]

I'm still trying to figure out why Sasha took a cart ride

She was originally gonna do a drive by but lost the gun just beforehand.

[Locke]

Who is the money in the bank briefcase owner

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Taker taking a shortcut for the entrance walk.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Still an obviously bs number regardless.

Nah, floor seats and the press boxes and suites easily adds 10k to max capacity. Maybe they even sold standing room only tix...doubtful, but maybe...I honestly don't think they fudged the numbers by more than ~250 if at all.

[Dark One]

Jim Ross is a national treasure.

[Frank Drebin]

Taker looks like his bedtime is usually an hour ago.

[Droford]

GET OFF MY YARD

[KIRA]

Why are you letting JBL talk when JR is right there?

[Locke]

Why are these two feuding

[Dark One]

Undertaker should probably get a larger hat.

[Evil Vito]

Christ, how tight was Undertaker's hat? He has a Peyton Manning-esque red mark on his forehead.

[GD]

No Samoa Joe or Finn Balor at Mania this year.

[Dark One]

Holy shit.

"Roman is a holocaust denier" sign in the background.

Wow.

[Triple A]

this match is going to have a lot of punches

[DAMN iNATOR]

Over/under 30 minutes?

[Gerard]

Undertaker should probably get a larger hat.

Would help with the larger forehead that's developed over the years.:-\

[Droford]

Why are these two feuding

WHOS YARD IS IT?

[Frank Drebin]

Who's body will give out first? The 30 year old in peak physical condition or the 60 year old who's hat bruised his forehead?

[Locke]

Does anyone know who any wrestlers voted for

Vince and Linda McMahon voted for Trump obviously

[Triple A]

Why are these two feuding

I guess cause Roman Reigns eliminated the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble (Michael Cole just said just now)

[KIRA]

lol Roman not even winning crowd still mocking him

[Droford]

Holy shit.

"Roman is a holocaust denier" sign in the background.

Wow.

security not doing their jobs

[Emperor Smeat]

this match is going to have a lot of punches

Maybe even one that would make Superman proud :shifty:

[Triple A]

Does anyone know who any wrestlers voted for

Vince and Linda McMahon voted for Trump obviously

JBL def voted for Trump... he was on Fox News talking about how "Trump is good for the economy" and @realDonaldTrump tweeted @ him thanking him yesterday

[Dark One]

Undertaker currently willing his body to stay together and not burst into a plume of dust.

[Evil Vito]

JR is loving this because he doesn't have to remember how to properly say Tanahashi or Naito

[Theo Dious]

Good pace for this match.

Triple A from the front page had a newz article about it.

Wait.....are you related to that Triple A or does he just have the same name?

[KIRA]

God I missed JR gonna be rough going back to hearing Saxton and Cole tomorrow

[Dark One]

Love JR pantomiming the goozle in the background.

[slik]

I am prob going to feel 'emotional' when Taker loses this

[slik]

JR is soooo good

[Emperor Smeat]

German Table too tired from tonight's show to do its job of being destroyed.

[Frank Drebin]

Triple A from the front page had a newz article about it.

Wait.....are you related to that Triple A or does he just have the same name?

If you do the newz, does this mean you know that scumbag, Kenton Lane? Tell that asshole he's not Ryan Clark and he never will be!

[Dark One]

Amazing Taker would take that bump at age 75.

[Theo Dious]

HOLY BALLS

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Reigns just RVD'd himself with that spear?

[Dark One]

Reigns nearly speared the shoe polish out of Taker's hair.

[Triple A]

Triple A from the front page had a newz article about it.

Wait.....are you related to that Triple A or does he just have the same name?

Yea same guy..

[DAMN iNATOR]

This might be the first WM ever to end after midnight (EDT) the following Monday...

[Droford]

Amazing Taker would take that bump at age 75.

Fastforward 20 years to WM 53

[Locke]

The last Ride

[DAMN iNATOR]

If you do the newz, does this mean you know that scumbag, Kenton Lane? Tell that asshole he's not Ryan Clark and he never will be!

Well, TBF, Ryan Clark is no Matt Boone.

[Bad News Gertner]

"Roman is a Holocaust denier" sign in the crowd

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Taker's lazy Last Ride powerbomb.

[Evil Vito]

aaaaaand the Hardyz are unbroken again :(

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ID3XxN0A7ds" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Locke]

JBL def voted for Trump... he was on Fox News talking about how "Trump is good for the economy" and @realDonaldTrump tweeted @ him thanking him yesterday

fuck JBL....

[Droford]

This should have been a buried alive match

[Sepholio]

That last ride looked like it broke down.

[Frank Drebin]

Yea same guy..

I don't believe you.

[slik]

Match is 12 minutes long so far, I thought i would be under 10 minutes

[Locke]

both players are so shitty

[Frank Drebin]

Taker signals it's time to exchange finishers for 20 minutes.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don't believe you.

I don't either. Front page guy definitely seems like a fraud.

[Dark One]

+1 star for "tougher than a two dollar steak" reference.

[Emperor Smeat]

Taker pretty much had his nuts on Reigns face with that pin.

[Gerard]

Takers getting a bald spot at the back, might want to work in some boot polish to fix it...

Ooh someone kicked out of a tombstone at wrestlemania, what a shocker!!!!!!

[Theo Dious]

The crowd is displeased.

[Dark One]

lol.

Roman Reigns master strategy finally revealed "Oh shit. Something's gone wrong. SUPERMAN PUNCH."

[Sepholio]

That was awful.....AWFUL.

[GD]

Those were some bad attempts at the tombstone. Taker is old.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the botched tombstone attempts.

Either Taker is too fat or Taker's pants have no grip.

[Maluco]

Taker past it and Reigns not good enough to carry match. Not good.

[Evil Vito]

This is just difficult to watch for a number of reasons, including the condition of Taker, the speed of the match, the time, and the inevitability of the result.

[Gerard]

Taker wrestles like old people fuck


Probably with painkillers....

[Maluco]

This isn't even a submission

[DAMN iNATOR]

Which will prove to have been longer, WM or YouTuber "Wrestling With Wregret"'s recording of his WrestleMania Wreview?

[Evil Vito]

Watching this match makes me realize that I totally took 2007-2009 Undertaker for granted

[Crimson]

Did the ref fall asleep there

[slik]

omg please no more matches for Undertaker, this is kind of upsetting, he can't "go" at all

[Sepholio]

Please retire....I'm starting to have good memories of Taker replaced by this shit.....

[Dark One]

Taker should have had some of that Five Hour Energy Extra Strength they were promoting last night at Takeover.

[Triple A]

Felt real bad for them re: botched tombstone reversal

[Gerard]

Someone break out the oxygen mask ffs. Same shit every years in takers match.

[Droford]

I want Roman to say "I LOVE YOU" right before he spears TAKER out of his depends

[DAMN iNATOR]

What Reigns has done to Taker in this match should be considered elder abuse.

[Emperor Smeat]

Taker should have invested in a vest for tonight. Worked for Reigns whenever he takes chair shots.

[Maluco]

After those HBK matches, for Taker to go out like this is awful.

Great show, but this is a real plodger of a main event

[DAMN iNATOR]

Taker should have had some of that Five Hour Energy Extra Strength they were promoting last night at Takeover.

MMMM, HEART ATTACKS...:drool:

[slik]

This match is emotional af

[Dark One]

I was 95% sure that was Undertaker's Ol Yeller moment.

[Sepholio]

Stop kicking out :(

[Droford]

This is almost like HBK Flair

[DAMN iNATOR]

T-Minus 5 minutes to midnight EDT...

[Dark One]

98% sure that was it.

[RP]

I'm waiting for someone to come out put a bullet in Takers head.

[Gerard]

After those HBK matches, for Taker to go out like this is awful.

Great show, but this is a real plodger of a main event

Michael's knew when to call it a day, undertaker in the past criticised Hogan for doing exactly what he's doing now.

[Sepholio]

uhg

[Dark One]

Vince McMahon going to come out and throw in the towel.

[Emperor Smeat]

This and Rollins/HHH should have been a lot shorter for time. Feel bad for Taker since hes struggling at times during this match.

:lol: Reigns can't even mimic doing a good sympathy spot to end Taker.

[Maluco]

Lol at falling over on sit up. Up there with Lesnar laugh!

[DAMN iNATOR]

3 MINUTES...

[Evil Vito]

We're minutes away from entering hour #8...

[Emperor Smeat]

Really feels like WWE won't turn Reigns heel at all after this. Should be way more cocky and less HBK/Taker when they had to retire others.

[Sepholio]

Heel Reigns for sure

[Gerard]

Wtf was that meant to be?

[Droford]

Thats it

[Dark One]

Not even JR could save that.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Replays etc. will carry it past 12AM.

[slik]

That was the most uncomfortable WM main-event I've ever watched. Please let Undertaker retire.

No more matches.

[Sepholio]

lol good lord WM loves ending on shit

[Gerard]

So reigns bounces off the ropes to do... nothing. Another fuck up.

[Droford]

TAKERS DEAD...MAN

[Maluco]

Roman is a great athlete, i agree, but he is one of the worst actors in the roster.

[Emperor Smeat]

Either crowd doesn't care at all or WWE doing some quality muting of the crowd.

[Dark One]

There was one really good, normal length Wrestlemania amidst this 8 hour sprawling epic.

[KIRA]

He defeted a shell of the Undertaker

[Droford]

ROMAN VS BROCK battle of the TAKER DEFEATERS

[GD]

My childhood.

[Evil Vito]

I didn't think there could be a WrestleMania main event I thoroughly disliked more than last year, but then that happened.

[Gerard]

Next year undertaker Vs social security.

[Maluco]

Worse than boos is tired apathy.

That was a wet fart

[Locke]

Glad i'm not going to watch wrestling again for 6 months

[DAMN iNATOR]

"Here are some fireworks...PLEASE LOVE ROMAN!"

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well he sat up...secret vampire rumors confirmed.

[Droford]

Im convinced he wrestled one more match cause he didnt want to go out vs Shane fucking McMahon

[Blue Demon]

Still not going to like Roman

[RP]

That was like watching a 600 pound man try to wipe his butt.

[Maluco]

It's like Roman Reigns came into your house and beat your dog to death with a chair.

[Dark One]

Poor match to finish on... but I'm not sure which of the "main events" they could have finished with that wouldn't have been painful.

Turns out that maybe shuffling cards and resetting the deck up until the last four weeks before Wrestlemania doesn't lead to quality main events...

[Evil Vito]

I have no Idea how this is supposed to get Roman over. He beat an out of shape, pathetic old-timer in need of hip surgery. It would have made him totally unbelievable if he lost.

[slik]

Roman Reigns is actually a really good wrestler. Whether he is booked in a way people like, he is a good wrestler!

[slik]

Taker getting the big send off

[Emperor Smeat]

Better main event and Mania overall compared to last year but still meh quality endings to the event. First half of the show was a lot better than the second half.

WWE needs to stop with the ridiculous amount of overtime for Manias since its not really working at all.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

i give taker credit for really trying hard but really wtf was he going to be able to do at this point

[Dark One]

Goodbye Deadman, and thanks for everything.

[Gerard]

Got the hat and coat on after the match, must be saying goodbye.

[Evil Vito]

I guess in retrospect the cool thing about being at WM29 was that I was there live for Undertaker's last really good WrestleMania match.

[GD]

Taker is retiring :eek:

[Maluco]

How many times has he left gloves/hats now?

Getting expensive...

[Sepholio]

Biker Taker next year.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Taker putting on a striptease for all the fat, lazy, pathetic Orlando sweathogs out there.

[Dark One]

Super emotional right now.

There goes the last larger than life superstar.

[Evil Vito]

Thank you Undertaker.

[GD]

I'm going to miss the deadman <3

[Savio]

OBSOLETE!

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor match to finish on... but I'm not sure which of the "main events" they could have finished with that wouldn't have been painful.

Turns out that maybe shuffling cards and resetting the deck up until the last four weeks before Wrestlemania doesn't lead to quality main events...

Should have staid with Lesnar-Goldberg as the main event since that was surprisingly good.

The build to Taker-Reigns was pretty bad since the WWE was never sure on wanting it to be Taker's actual retirement. Pretty much has to be after how bad Taker was tonight.

[Droford]

Retirement home Taker

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

And yeah I'd say this ME was better than last year. Crowd was more into it tbh

[rob11]

As bad as the match was this is one of the most emotional moments in a long time.

[Dark One]

Fully expect Vince McMahon to be crying like a baby on WWE 24

[Droford]

Orlando the Retirement home of Flair and Taker

they can go back in a few years for Cena

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I dunno. I thought the match was actually pretty good. It wasn't a classic or anything but considering the age and health of Taker, I'd have to say I was actually surprised he pulled that match out.

The botches kinda killed it near the end. But nonetheless, I thought it was a solid last match.

Wish they'd have turned Reigns heel but I feel like that ship's gonna sail.

[Maluco]

Just hate to see him finish on that. Lots of mistakes and not befitting of the man.

I think he will be disappointed looking back. The story is, at the end of the day, retiring because he is not physically capable of performing anymore.

[Dark One]

Fucking lost it on the arm raise.

[Evil Vito]

The last larger than life superstar in the company has retired. Feels surreal even if it is needed.

[Emperor Smeat]

This send off for Taker was great.

[Dark One]

Going to cry like a baby at the retrospective tomorrow with this theme...
