Technico Support Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 @Dolfan in NYC, I don't know if you covered it your excellent 'Mania thread, but the "Trump Plaza" Wrestlemanias were technically held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall but were promoted as taking place at "Trump Plaza" because the casino was the event sponsor. Regardless, thanks so much for a very satisfying video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But consider this: Maybe Charlotte should have won two more WrestleMania matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 To be honest - of the three matches Natural mentions - I think the only egregious one is her beating Rhea Yeah - it could be argued that in the other two (the triple threat for the new title and ending Asuka's streak) should have gone to someone else but you can at least see the reasoning behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flair-Ripley is absolutely the worst of those. It's not even competitive... it's a 20 minute squash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking into consideration his other leanings that may or may not have been implied with his character at the time . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Asuka should have lost to Ember Moon. if not then... then she needed to lose the streak to someone that could use that as a feather in their cap. Charlotte being the one to beat Asuka was a lot like Lesnar being the one to beat Undertaker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels hard to pay that off in a way where both wrestlers come out looking good. I mean, I might be in the minority, but I thought the end to Undertaker's WrestleMania streak was pretty great. On that same note, but the other side of it - it kind of sucks that Mr. Perfect's undefeated streak ended at the hands of fucking Brutus Beefcake (unless you count untelevised house shows, but the TV didn't, so...). And apparently the Hogan vs Perfect/Genius handicap match aired on MSG Network after WrestleMania, but taped before it (?), so even that doesn't count technically if we're following just what aired on TV in chronological order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
