The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal needs to END.
Is there anything more pathetic every year than that match? How does a match full of jobbers and low-mid carders who weren't big enough names to get an actual match at WrestleMania do ANYTHING to honor the legacy of Andre The Giant? Not to mention I think in 4 years that the damn match has only ever been on the actual PPV one time?
-Cesaro won it. Almost ruined his career.
-Big Show won. Didn't need it, didn't do a damn thing for him.
-Barron Corbin won and people were like WTF? It took like 10 months for him to get any important matches and they didn't even give him the IC Title last night!
And last night....the final turd on the top of sh*t mountain....Mojo Rawley....probably the most useless guy on the roster besides James Ellsworth. The whole thing was just designed so Rob Gronkowski should get in the ring and tackle somebody. I honestly think it would have been better if Gronk had just entered and won it HIMSELF.
-Could have used to to try and build back up Braun Strowman after feeding him to Roman Reigns the last month.
-Could have given it to Sami Zayn to try and make a new ultimate underdog. Stephanie is always yelling at him and trying to screw him, he could be the new Daniel Bryan type character.
-Finn Balor has been back at house shows for like 5 weeks.....would have been an awesome way to re-introduce him and make the trophy seem to mean something.
Nope...let's let Rob Gronkowski get his drunk ass in the ring and run into Jinder Mahal...they'll show the replay on ESPN.
Bottom line, the match is a good idea in THEORY, but like many of the things WWE does, it is very poorly executed.
Thoughts?

No. It should stay. The inter-company battle royal has been taking place way before they ever named it after Andre The Giant. It doesn't hurt anyone and battle royals are always fun. And these are not predictable. I'm sure mostly everyone thought for sure Strowman was going to win but he didn't.
The workers in the battle royal don't honor Andre, it's the match that does since Andre won more battle royals then anyone else. (So they say.) So let it stay.

Is there anything you don't complain about?

Thoughts? Stop complaining about every little thing.
It's a battle royal. It's just a way to get people on the card. If someone good wins, then it's served a purpose that year. If not, then it doesn't really matter anyway.
I would rather Mojo didn't win last night, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. It really doesn't matter.

It's fine. Winning battle royals usually haven't meant anything in the past. It just gives someone a moment and everyone a Wrestlemania payday.

They should just have a pre show battle royal, there's no need to have Andre the Giant in the name

I disagree. Make it even bigger. Put the women on it too. Have Pitbull perform at the same time. 100 man and woman intergender battle royal/concert, anything to stop them cramming so many people on the main card.

I think it's fun. It's also an accomplishment that the winner can have under their belt. Mojo is fine, too. Don't get the hate.

It's a way to give everybody on the roster a payday.
I would like to see it booked to be more important as well, but if they did that then people would be bitching because (so-and-so) was in a meaningless battle royal instead of a match.
I guarantee people would have been saying "how can you waste Finn's first match back on a battle royal?"

Okay, I get exactly what the OP is saying.
The battle royal is designed to put the jobbers or lower card guys in a match at Wrestlemania. I get annoyed when the announcers say how important this battle royal is. Then why didn't AJ Styles go in it when he didn't have a match at Mania?? Or why didn't Samoa Joe go in it?? The battle royal looked the strongest the first year it happened, and everything after that has just made it suck.
But on the other end.... it's just a battle royal. I mean, Jimmy Hart has won a battle royal before at MSG!!

"If I complain in lots of detail, it makes my point more valid".
No. If not for the Andre battle royal on the pre show, that's 20+ guys who don't get a WrestleMania payday..
Prevent all these dudes an opportunity to perform on the pre show, just because it doesn't line up with the fantasy booking ideas you've surrounded yourself with?..
No mate.
99% of wrestlers started as fans. As a fan yourself, would YOU really turn down a quick cameo in a battle royal with a nice pay bonus at Mania if you weren't booked on the main card?

Being from the UK, the ending just confused the hell out of me. Gronkowski is clearly a big name as I saw he has an episode of Family Guy based around him as well, but as soon as Show and Strowman were gone I switched off.

I agree with Lorenzo. Screw ya'll. It was an embarrassment last night and it needs to go.

I think it's fun. Gives the crowd a little warm up if its on the pre show as well.
Its good for locker room morale too, it gets everyone involved.

They always have a battle royal at WrestleMania - usually before the main show - it should stay.

I dont mind the battle royal. It did suck that Mojo won, but it is what it is. The battle royal gets people that nornally wouldn't have a chance in Mania, get a nice payday. The Andre the Giant part of the battle royal just makes the battle royal seem more important than what it really is to the casuals. If us hardcore fans see it as a fun little match to get everyone a place on the card, there would not be any issue. If it bothers you that much, then stop wasting your time watching a show or shows you dont like so you have no reason to complain
