Cool for AJ Styles. Best performer of 2016. Dean Ambrose is one of the highest paid guys on the roster and was resorted to pre-show at Mania. He would benefit from some kind of character change. I don't know if he'll ever reach the overness he had in Summer 2014. Especially now with guys like Balor, Styles, Nakamura etc. I know "turn him heel" is like the #1 internet wrestling cliche, but I think he really needs it

I'm expecting a ing dumpster fire but it's still got me more interested than any of the rest of the feud.

Oh chit how did I forget that one? Steven Richards too with the chair shot. Obviously that didn't teach him anything though lol. For those interested:

Seen quite a lot of people suggest this. If it means they get used better I'm all for it

Way I see it, he's basically the top heel in the company. I'm fine with that, just like I'm fine with AJ Styles being one of the top babyfaces despite being a total dickbag. Truthfully the one real problem I have with WWE's "new" way of dealing with character alignment is the commentary. They're still firmly wedged in Reigns' and Cena's buttholes, and they still do that infuriating crap on the Raw after Mania where they just ing patronise and invalidate their core fans with this "bizarro world" stuff. Makes it hard to accept when Triple H or Vince comes out and says faces and heels aren't a thing anymore.

Nakamura's entrance was better than Wrestlemania

Fun Raw. Not much to speculate about since there's a draft type thing next week

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.

This is the one night a year when I genuinely believe WWE might be making a show with people like me in mind. I'm looking forward to it.

Shane vs Aj. I can't see anything there I'd even think of rewatching though.

Personally I thought it was a really bad show. Can't really say it was a bad Wrestlemania since most of them seem to be bad now. AJ vs Shane was good, Hardyz was a great moment, everything else was kinda terrible or pretty watchable, but the watchable stuff was dampened by the fact that the show seemed to last the entire month of April, and the crowd were really feeling it at times.
They won't do it, but imo they need to change just about everything about how they do Wrestlemania. The length has become completely ridiculous, putting too many people on the card dilutes the whole show, and the over-reliance on 50 year old men REALLY hurt them this year. The focus as shifted almost entirely away from actually providing a quality product, and I'd like to think they can't just keep relying on the "spectacle" and the part timers to sell tickets every year. They probably can though.
The grandeur of Wrestlemania has gone from a great addition and selling point, to literally the only selling point. It's completely style over substance now. The card was weak on paper, and delivered roughly to expectation. Crowd was flat, performances were flat, world class talent was either misused or not used at all, and 3 out of the 4 main eventers didn't have the gas to go longer than 10 minutes. The other guy was Roman Reigns. BOTH world titles changed and I don't think anyone even cares. Tomorrow night they're gonna tell us it was the greatest Wrestlemania of all time.
Raw might be dope though

All of those saying that the Undertaker needs to retire and go away. Hope y'all are finally happy... :/ All good things must come to an end. I don't want to see Undertaker wrestling when it's clear that he can't go anymore. I'm glad that he got a fantastic sendoff. It's a shame that the most loyal guy in the history of WWE, a guy who sacrificed his body for this company had to put over a guy who is being shoved down everybody's throats because the boss has a ing hard-on for him. I'd be willing to bet that this was Taker's call to make

I'm sadder that it ended the way it did than I am that it ended. Punk or Triple H probably should have been his last match. I don't think anybody is going to remember the last 4 years of his career fondly. Felt like a real downer, I wish he could have had a final match like Michaels or Flair got.
