WWE: WrestleMania 37

[DAMN iNATOR]

I can't imagine them not sending the crowd home happy. Edge is the babyface right?

Bryan is. Edge is acting like much more of a heel lately. Even recently tried to Con-chair-to both Roman and Bryan on SmackDown!.

[GD]

Bryan looking mighty foine :yes:

[Jordan]

Edge and Roman are both heels

Okay then I got Bryan.

[tman220]

So does the Wrestlemania Backlash give away the ending to the main event?

[keeper2k]

Weird way to think of it, but with their previous medical conditions none of these 3 dudes should be wresting, let alone at the highest level in the Wrestlemania main event. Props to all 3

[Evil Vito]

Holy shit Edge outpopped Bryan and it wasn't piped in.

[OssMan]

Edge's theme sucks so bad.....

[Jordan]

Edge's outfit so fn cool.

[GD]

is Roman actually being booed :lol:

[slik]

Edge looks great in white gear too

[Emperor Smeat]

Universal title match is going to top it but according to Wikipedia, the Women's Tag title match currently has been the longest match on tonight's show so far.

RAW Women's title match missed out being the longest by almost a minute.

Also Night 1 was a lot more balanced when it came to giving minutes to matches.

[GD]

Main event Jey in the house!

[Evil Vito]

Oh god I didn't realize Edge's retirement was 10 years ago today. I was there in Bridgeport. Totally out of left field retirement. I kept thinking/hoping it was gonna be a work but eventually could tell from his emotion that it wasn't. And when I got home the first thing I did was log in to see if there was any news on it.

[OssMan]

lol Paul Heyman

[OssMan]

All the pyro is the same at this stupid thing...

[GD]

This is the second time the Universal Championship has main-evented a WrestleMania.

[Fignuts]

Wonder how Roman reigns biggest fan is doing

[GD]

Bryan getting booed :lol:

[slik]

Edge being the same height as Roman surprises me

[Fignuts]

Reigns needs to just wear tights already.

[GD]

Edge being the same height as Roman surprises me

He's actually taller than BROman Reigns.

[slik]

Wonder how Roman reigns biggest fan is doing

Oh I will find out and update the thread post WM

[keeper2k]

YEP > YES > NO

[Triple A]

This match should be cool if it's laid out by Heyman...

[Emperor Smeat]

Kevin Dunn really sucks as a producer.

Edge does the implant DDT onto the steps. Instead of keeping the shot for the aftermath effect, it quickly cuts to an out of position cameraman so all you mostly see is just Jey Uso's lower end.

[slik]

Is the other Uso healed up from injury

[Evil Vito]

Jey Uso costing Roman the match but it's really Jimmy would be something really cool.

[Fignuts]

Double spear spot was cool.

[slik]

a double spear, that's a first

[Triple A]

Is the other Uso healed up from injury

He was injured in March 2020 and was supposed to be out for 6-9 months, so should be good by now...

[Fignuts]

Holy shit did they just promote snickers in the middle of the main event of wrestlemania?

[Triple A]

Cool to have fans back and have them be into a match...

[OssMan]

Yes Kicks are cooler than the Bro Kick

[Fignuts]

lol heyman

[slik]

Paul Heyman's expressions at ringside are great

[Fignuts]

Hey guys did you know mania is sponsored by snickers

[Evil Vito]

The god damn camera cuts every time somebody rains down punches.

[slik]

Kevin Dunn horrible camera work

[OssMan]

Imagining a wwe wrestler who doesnt throw multiple punches because he knows the insane camera cuts will give like 10% of viewers a seizure and cares about the health of the viewers but he starts getting bad reactions from the fans (whom he is actually prioritizing over himself) because he wont do certain moves

[Emperor Smeat]

Vince probably shedding a tear backstage in joy. He finally got the crowd to react the exact way he wanted for Reigns in a big match after all these years.

Sure it was mostly boos but boos that made sense for Reigns current heel persona.

[GD]

I fucking love this spot :rofl:

[OssMan]

Edge and Daniel Bryan have the exact same submission with different names

[Emperor Smeat]

That double crossface and head butt battle spot was awesome.

[Evil Vito]

Edge's crazy eyes are fucking great

[Evil Vito]

Edge really good facial expressions in this match

[Triple A]

Good facial expressions by everyone

[slik]

double submission spot was great

[GD]

Holy shit! That near fall was awesome!

[OssMan]

And seamus runs in and takes out edge and reins with a bro kick ! It's a triple threat so theres no disqualifications !

[OssMan]

Would be funny for someone to do a chair shot but it's with one of the computer chairs..

[OssMan]

Some 1 near the ring put 2 more chairs in the ring

[GD]

Holy fucking shit! Roman Reigns :eek: :roll: :wavesad:

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don't like that result, but I understand it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Universal title match was amazing.

Right choice for Reigns retaining as well.

That supplanted Cesaro vs. Rollins from Night 1 as my favorite match not only from Mania 37 but from all of WWE's Mania week shows.

[Evil Vito]

God damn, that was a hot main event.

[Fignuts]

Did not expect that

[Loose Cannon]

good call on this. no offense to Bryan or Edge, but save the Reigns Mania loss for someone else

[OssMan]

why did he pin both guys

they should say edge won because he technically pinned daniel bryan

[slik]

That was good

[tman220]

that's where the Backlash will come from

[xrodmuc316]

Roman Reigns should be Universal Champion forever!

[Fignuts]

Big E should take the belt off reigns at summerslam imo

[ozzman6669]

Technically it's a draw, edge pinned Bryan and Roman pinned Edge at the same time, he still the champ but Roman didn't win !

[DAMN iNATOR]

why did he pin both guys

they should say edge won because he technically pinned daniel bryan

Makes the champ look stronger, at least in theory.

[Jordan]

Great main event, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would say it saved the show from being a bad show. The right guy won for sure.

[tman220]

Do you think they intentionally did the pin spot for a rematch?

[Evil Vito]

WrestleMania on the whole was totally watchable both nights. Would've been unbearable to try to have all of this on one night.

Do I have faith this momentum will carry into TV? No. But these shows were pretty good.

[slik]

It IS kind of funny Cole was talking about how happy they were to have fans back while fans in the stadium booed to close the show.

[Jordan]

Do you think they intentionally did the pin spot for a rematch?

I don't know. I think at Wrestlemania Backlash I'd like to see a gimmick tag match with Jey & Roman vs Edge & Bryan.

[Evil Vito]

yo what's this Watch Along shit, bring on Broken Skull Sessions

[Jordan]

WrestleMania on the whole was totally watchable both nights. Would've been unbearable to try to have all of this on one night.

Do I have faith this momentum will carry into TV? No. But these shows were pretty good.

It's kind of a travesty that they have to go back to no fans after this.

[Jordan]

yo what's this Watch Along shit, bring on Broken Skull Sessions

It's already available I watched it earlier.

[Emperor Smeat]

Night 2 was very entertaining overall but leaning towards Night 1 being the better of the two shows.

Night 2's main event was better than Night 1's main event but was missing that one big special feel Night 1 had with Bianca's title win. Night 1 also felt more balanced in terms of entertainment than Night 2. Night 2 had some very good moments but also some pretty big downers, especially the first two matches.

[Evil Vito]

It's already available I watched it earlier.

Cheers! Gonna go check it out.

[Evil Vito]

It's kind of a travesty that they have to go back to no fans after this.

Seriously. Even if they do a mix of Thunderdome with a limited live crowd it would be better than nothing.

As it is it seems like the Thunderdome will be around til August. Sucks to go back to that.

[BigCrippyZ]

So glad I chose to spend the first night of this shit show with my in-laws and only watched the second night of Mania instead. The only 2 matches I actually wanted to see were on the second night anyway. The main event was good. Won’t be paying for Peacock until they have all of the old stuff I used to watch on it though.

[slik]

Is Bianca the only face champion in WWE?

[slik]

I can't watch RAW each week since it's...usually not the best...I'll still be here for PPVs. Much more enjoyable for me to stick to the PPVs at this time.

[GD]

Is Bianca the only face champion in WWE?

R-Truth

[GD]

I'm just looking forward to Noid going through the results and highlights on /r/squaredcircle and writing paragraphs like he has the greatest insights ever.

[slik]

damn I received ZERO REP during all of WM, that has never happened to me in a ppv before

Skeletor please green me up

I enjoyed both nights. I haven't watched a full Raw or Smackdown is about a year or two honestly as the shows have just been god awful. But i enjoy tuning into some of the PPV's. Mania just doesn't have the "big match" feel like it did in years past anymore, but that's what happens when you don't create big time players. Taker not being on the show leaves a huge void. And obviously no Rock, Cena, HHH etc... but probably not a bad idea to leave them off. they need to get these new guys over without those guys hogging the card.

Hopefully next year will have a bigger feel and they actually have decent builds going

[Jordan]

Night 1 was a great show, Night 2 was a good show. The whole experience was really good for me, I think I'll get back into watching WWE PPV's because of this. I may not watch then Battleground shows but when they go back to in person audience I will for sure.

The downfall of Night 2 was ...
A relatively uneventful and or forgettable Fiend/Orton conclusion

Nothing special going with the women's tag

Owens & Zayn was good but not on the level of Cesaro/Rollins

Riddle/Sheamus was very good but not that important.

Big E/Apollo was above average but not that memorable but had a nice finish angle.

Ripley/Auska was very good but could've been longer with more focus.

Main event was great and saved the show from being a bad show.

[slik]

TY to all for the rep I just received

this was my WrestleMania moment!

[slik]

Would be great if DAMN iNATOR could attend WM next year and he gave OssMan a powerbomb thru the hood of a car

[BigCrippyZ]

Also doesn't help that Mania in recent years have just felt too bloated in terms of show length and cards.

Last year had 19 matches split up over two nights while the Manias before it were hitting the 6+ hour marks with the pre-shows included. Even NXT TakeOvers prior to the pandemic were starting to suffer from becoming bloated for show time legnth.

[Evil Vito]

the Manias before it were hitting the 6+ hour marks with the pre-shows included.

Buddy Murphy's theme hit for the first WM35 pre-show match at about 5:20 PM. The main event ended at almost 12:30 AM.

One of the longest nights of my life. Not to say I regretted going - it's live WrestleMania, it's an experience. But Kofi vs. Bryan like 3 hours into the main card peaked the crowd and there was no way to recover, not even with 6 more matches to go. Exhausting.

[Triple A]

Wasn't it also a nightmare to get home after WM 35 because of some transportation issue (forgot what)

[Evil Vito]

Wasn't it also a nightmare to get home after WM 35 because of some transportation issue (forgot what)

Yah NJ Transit fucked up and only sent like one train to MetLife because the show ended later than they expected and they hadn't scheduled workers for overtime.

Had no idea that would happen but I was determined to GTFO ASAP anyway. The second Becky won I rushed to the bathroom under my section, pissed, and power walked out to the train and got on that first one.

Got back to Manhattan and my hotel was like a 7 or 8 block walk from Penn Station. Think I physically walked into my hotel at 2 AM on the nose.

Even though I was tired I had to jump in the shower real quick cause I was in a stadium all day and felt gross, got out, checked the WM Planning subreddit and found there were thousands of people stranded outside in the pouring rain and some of them didn't get out of the stadium lot until well after 3 AM. Thank fuck I rushed out of there.

[Evil Vito]

If Mania's back to one night after this I probably won't be going next time it's NYC/NJ. I'll just load up on even more events that weekend. Went to Takeover, ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard, and one of the WrestleCon shows. For the cost of my Mania ticket I probably could've gone to like 3 more shows and stayed an extra night at the hotel.

If the card is more than 4.5 hours, and you sit through that, you’re an absolutely pathetic and desperately sad fan, you’ve also been played by a piece of shit promoter and the performers who are participating in that. If you wonder why Vince was never accepted by the “Hollywood elites”, it’s not just because he’s an amateur who wishes and falsely believed he was as good as the best in Hollywood were, it’s because he’s also a piece of shit who thinks his “genius” is worth the cost to those who sacrifice and work for him, and especially those who pay him.

[Triple A]

Calm down man...

[Evil Vito]

LMAO

[#1-norm-fan]

Lol PREACH, CRIPPY!

[GD]

lol wow

[RaginRonic]

You guys should consider yourselves lucky, because with Mania now seemingly not travelling outside the U.S. anymore, and even though I live a 90-minute train ride away from Toronto, I likely will never see Mania live.

The UnderTaker now being retired is another reason why I'll never get to go to that event, because with him being my top favorite overall talent, there's now no point for me to bother getting a ticket.

Plus, I see the U.S. as being too dangerous to be in, and also not able/willing to board a plane, and I guess I'm relegated to watching it on TV for the rest of eternity.

=S

[OssMan]

Why can't you board a plane?

[RaginRonic]

Why can't you board a plane?

A] Extreme fear of heights(severe anxiety).

B] The way that the airline industry has de-evolved since 9-11.

=S

[Volare]

Read everything first and am watching videos (along with the forum commentary lol) now to see what's up.


Only thing I got so far is Alexa is melting cause she sacrificed herself to bring back Bray.

[Volare]

That or they're ripping off the ending to Doctor Strange.

That main event was fucking ace. The right guy won. Assuming the boos were authentic, that’s exactly the kind of response you want for your bad ass top heel.

[erickman]

Also doesn't help that Mania in recent years have just felt too bloated in terms of show length and cards.

Last year had 19 matches split up over two nights while the Manias before it were hitting the 6+ hour marks with the pre-shows included. Even NXT TakeOvers prior to the pandemic were starting to suffer from becoming bloated for show time legnth.

they need to keep with 2 days. an they found there main events every year women rumble winner one night then the male the other.

[erickman]

That or they're ripping off the ending to Doctor Strange.

time for abyss to join them

[Volare]

Enoyed the rest of night 2 over all. Happy Roman won, let's get Big E to go after him next.

[Jordan]

I think it would be an interesting long term booking to have Bobby build to a big Summerslam main event against Brock, put Bobby over. Simmer on Drew/Bobby til Mania next year where Drew can get the belt back after winning the Rumble. I don't know that they will hold onto Bobby as champ that long but it's a story I'd like to see.

[Volare]

Thinking about it over coffee....one thing I would've changed that I think most of the forum was in agreeance on...

https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Ruby-Riott-and-Liv-Morgan-Riott-Squad.jpg

Should've at least won and gone on to night 2.

[drave]

Ruby Riott reminds me of an angry bird that would peck you. Something I saw in "Amadeus"

[OssMan]

Now that wm is over i can give an update on taxes, emailed my former employer during the Nigerian Drum Match last night about getting the w2 which they emailed this morning. Almost done now

[OssMan]

Finisht

Tax return seems abnormally high... o well

[drave]

What kinda match would you compare to doing your taxes.


Is it like Hell In a Cell - and the unknown participants are the tax boogeyman waiting for a countdown to come and audit you?

[OssMan]

Hmm... it's like a Money in the Bank cash-in with a RAW Anonymous GM watching over and knowing they could screw you over after, and Michael Cole is commentating from inside the glass box.

[Jordan]

Let us know what your expected return is if you are indeed expecting a return alright.

[Evil Vito]

Becky feels like an easy guess......but man, what a fucking waste to not do it last night if that's the case as she's someone that would've gotten an actual pop.

Part of me wonders if someone like Adam Cole might go up now that Undisputed Era is done and the blowoff match happened. Not that I think his main roster run will be great but not really sure what else there is for him to do there.

Oh. Fuck taxes. I did mine over a year ago.

I was thinking with Cole that's why they did the whole "rush a stretcher in and out" thing with him. Make up an excuse wait a month and bam.

[Jordan]

I didn't watch NXT but I think that Cole to the main roster would be great as well as Balor. I think Balor on Smackdown would present some great options. Cole would work well on Raw or Smackdown, perhaps Raw could use him more.

She is a bit odd looking to say the least, it's like her nose hooks in towards her mouth drastically.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah Ruby's got a bit of a weird look. Short green hair doesn't do her any favors, thought the long darker hair she used to have looked way better.

There was a time where the excessive ink would've been worth a lot of negative points for me too but I'm pretty numb to that stuff nowadays.

[Volare]

I got no problems with Ruby's look. Everyone knows Liv is the main attractor.

According to Triple H, that Unsanctioned match wasn't a blowoff for his feud and he's staying in NXT even longer now. Something about how that match was only meant to be the first chapter or so in a long feud NXT has planned for him and O'Reilly.

[Jordan]

I want to see Finn inserted into the title scene with Roman/Edge/Bryan... I just think that's money if they go about it well.

Emotional 40 minute match with weapons and callbacks...........first chapter in a long feud

NXT has jumped the shark

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching Wrestlemania.... watched the Rumble and now Mania.... only rassling I have watched in over a year....

Shows were alright... best on the men's side was the Universal Title Match, Sheamus/Riddle (though can't stand Riddle as a character), and McIntyre/Lashley (though find both incredibly uninteresting characters) in that order....

Felt "let down" by Cesaro/Rollins and KO/Sami and felt that they weren't as good as I would have expected..... both felt just "meh".... Cesaro/Rollins better than KO/Sami...

I liked Omos manhandling New Day.... LOL at following up the big man dominating "one of the greatest tag teams in history" with the big man Braun Strowman having to sell so much of Shane McMahon's offence... cage ripping spot was cool...

Felt my fav matches of the two nights were Sasha/Belair and Asuka/Rhea..... Good to see the young fresh blood win... not that I don't like Sasha and Asuka... but def feel like they need to make more of an effort to make more "legit" people in the women's division for Becky/Rhonda/Charlotte's eventual returns....

Now I will return to not watching until prob next Royal Rumble. Peace out.

[Lock Jaw]

Will also say that the Intercontinental and US Title redesigns both look pretty ugly..... seems bad.....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I liked Sammy v Owens, and heel Sammy is great. But I felt the match was really short. Owens delivered some great stunners tho.
