piranesi Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 As HHH was finding yet another way to role-play a 13-year-olds study hall fantasy from 1988 in his awesome entrance, i was thinking: "Another example of how in WWE when the card looks great the show sucks and when the card looks bad the show is amazing." and then everything else happened and that theory is dead.

The Natural Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Legit LOLS at Triple H's entrance and the mat turning into Animal Farm between Wyatt and Orton. WTF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Can't believe more people aren't loving Brock/Goldberg. I had absolutely zero interest in watching that match. I think it was the MOTN. That was like The Hulk vs. The Thing or some sort of comic book/video game fight. They put in so much work in however long that match was. Great story, with a motivated Brock coming out strong, but Goldberg gets him a bit once he gets cocky, but then Brock survives Goldberg's run before murdering him. That was such a good match. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 8 minutes ago, JCM said: I started watching live right before Bray/Orton, and thought the last two hours was a boring pile of shit. Watching Taker like this was sad, but at least he didn't get hurt. Seeing him retire in the ring was quite a moment. Bray/Orton was one of the worst Mania matches I can recall. Brock/Goldberg was fun and didn't overstay it's welcome. Up to HHH entrance, the show was quite good, apart from Jericho/Owens. Miz is my MVP of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main event was dreadful - but still a far better way for Taker to go out than the Shane match would've been. At least he lost to an actual full-time main event star. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2017/04/wwe-wrestlemania-33-ultimate-thrill-ride.htmlhttp://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2017/04/wwe-wrestlemania-33-ultimate-thrill-ride.html I'm not sure how this utter shit show was better. Â At least with Brock Lesnar everyone was genuinely shocked and surprised, and Lesnar has the background of being a legit combat athlete.

piranesi Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I wold have paid them an extra $100 if they ended by having James Ellsworth scamper in the ring and put on Undertaker's hat only to melt into skeleton dust like that guy at the end of INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Man I've been a wrestling fan since I was a kid but I felt like tonight was almost a chore to get through. Lol Whoever called The Smackdown Women getting the time shaft, once they were moved to the main show, was right on the money. It was good to see Naomi regain the title though especially in her hometown. And I dug Mickie's attire. As for the actual match, it was what it was. I'm sure it was a throwback to the old school 3 minute Raw matches for some of them. The Raw Women's match fared a little better. It made sense for them to team up to eliminate Nia. I like smart wrestlers. What wasn't so smart was Sasha and Bayley going at one another when Charlotte left the ring, when they could have easily chased her down, tossed her back in, and eliminated her so that they could have the match that they'd been wanting to have. Either way, it was cool to see Bayley retain. Now there is no question on her legitimacy as champ. Cool to see Neville retain too. I really like him as a heel and Austin will gain a lot from the chase like Ember Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodzillaPerez Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Other than Mojo winning and Wyatt losing, I liked this show. I hoped that Rollins would use the torch as a weapon and try and light Triple H on fire. The match was unsanctioned, why not? When Taker started taking off his jacket, I thought he was going to pull a Bruce Dern in "Coming Home" This show would have been an hour shorter if they cut the ramp in half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Goldberg taking the three Germans then springing from off camera to spear Brock was a tremendous visual. That match seriously over performed and didn't overstay its welcome. Taker didn't have anything left, but the second half of that match being booked like a euthinization was appalling.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 The thing is if they had the balls to turn Roman for real, having him go full heel after taking the chair because he couldn't put Undertaker down and having that match be a turning point in his character where he's never "good" again would have been great. It would have meant something. It would have underscored that even at the end Taker was unbeatable. It would have let Roman take his natural course as a heel and provided a moment to look back on in his career. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Seriously, not to be "that guy" but is HHH going to have a Mania match every fucking year? Should have went out on that loss to Bryan, worked on NXT and stayed away from the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Roman is going to be pushed as Cena 2.0 until his merch stops selling, if he does turn heel anyway, he'll get more over and become a super face and turn into Cena 1.5 who will then be turned again and turn back into Cena 2.0 that he currently is. He may start playing a banjo instead of doing rap disses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw the match, but I can't see Tenryu being even as mobile as Taker at that point, it would kind of shock me if he could even do anything of note after the surgeries and injuries in his last few years. Plus he's a decade older and worked a very physical style for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Why didn't he just retire after losing to Lesnar? Â People actually believed in that stupid streak, but it ended. Â People were genuinely shocked and surprised when it ended. Â WrestleMania was his yard blah blah blah. Â So if he's not the biggest dog in the yard, that's the perfect time to hang 'em up. Â It was really sad to see him go on this long and much longer than he should've. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Every year I doubt Shane McMahon and every year he murders himself into pulp for my amusement. I don't know what I like more now HHH living out teenage fantasies as a 50 year old man or Shane being a middle aged Punk-rocker who still goes to hardcore shows even when everyone thinks he's a narc now.

Victator Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 7 minutes ago, TheVileOne said: The fans cheering Miz have good taste.  He's been one of WWE's best workers for like nine years. Are you drunk? Miz sucks, he is a third rate Honky Tonk Man. To his credit, he found a way to leech off of Daniel Bryan and saved Maryse from an Ogre's castle. Without either of those, he is the same old shitty Miz who was not over in 2011. This shit show of a company wasted one of Cena's Wrestlemania matches on this guy. Miz managed to game a shitty system. That makes him cunning, but not a talented ring performer. If Maryse was not on TV with him, I would not give him a second look. Ferret face looking son of a bitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It helped the Network buyrate or something, I don't know. I couldn't tell if he was legitimately selling at any point or just really that bad of shape physically that it looked like he was selling.
