Official WrestleMania 36 Thread - 4/4-5/2020

Like I said earlier, it was pure laziness. Yes, the Performance Center isn’t a 80,000-100,000 seat stadium, nor is it 18,000-20,000 seat arena, but they could have used their imagination, and spiced things up a little.

Wrestlemania 36 is pirate themed. Could’ve had some palm trees, sand, water, and lit fire torches for props, like Summerslam 2007. Then, a couple of mini pirate ships by the staging, or in the audience area. As for the LED’s they use, they could’ve simulated water splashing, and crashing through an ocean, while raining during a thunderstorm.

There’s a ton of cool crap they could have done to dress up the place. Instead, it looked like a Nitro and Thunder set from 2000. Very cheap, and budget like.

I honestly was asleep for most of Mania. I managed to watch the last 2 matches, plus I was in and out of consciousness between matches. The Universal title match was what it was. I loved the Boneyard match. Super entertaining. I got to hear of two matches I missed the winners to listening to Wrestling Soup. Ugh Becky retained.

That and Mysterio-Rhodes (best match of the night) were highlights but didn't have much behind them. The rest all sucked. Troll Cole didn't help things either.

26, 27, and 31 rank in the bottom three of modern day. Honorable mention for 32.

Good show, great main event!

That was probably the best women's tag title match so far. Nikki Cross' enthusiasm was a lot of fun, I wish she'd got that moment in front of a huge crowd.

Only thing I didn't like was Corbin vs Elias, which really should never have been on a WrestleMania card anyway.

I was hoping/expecting the Shayna-Becky thing to be like Lesnar-Cena at SummerSlam 2014.

Ladder match was solid. There was a kid on here a couple of days ago saying Kofi didn't have a match this year lol.

Sami Zayn is great in his role. I hope he cheats his way to a really long title reign.

I wish Goldberg had done an open challenge thing, and that Big E had answered it. But still, finally Braun wins the big one!

I didn't have much interest in Owens vs Rollins because they've done it so much on TV, but their promos building the match were really good. And they put on a really good bout, too. Was shocking to see KO do the big fatboi drop for real rather than through camera trickery - big commitment to the show.

Main event is my match of the year so far. Undertaker looked so much better here than he has in a decade. And AJ brought the fight to him! The trash talk made it, and the music. Fantastic match, easily better than any previous Buried Alive match.

Next Manufactured’s Sweater Kofi wasn't mentioned in any news I was reading, and made mention of it once I saw it was officially announced.

Good to see you still paying attention bud lol

29 and 34 say hello.

That Boneyard match was probably the greatest thing they have done so far in the year 2020.

We could have had a boring Styles vs. Taker match in a ring in front of 80,000 fans, but instead we got a horror style movie from the 80s in a grave yard with so much randomness that it made it seem awesome.

Plus we got Metallica!!!!

The boneyard match was one of the best things WWE has done. I wasn’t expecting that at all! AJ was great in his role and that is by far the best thing Undertaker has done in years. Loved it!

I was totally surprised by the show, I went in not expecting much but I loved it. Owens/Rollins was phenomenal in my opinion and the ladder match ending was absolutely perfect!

Honestly, giving McIntyre vs. Undertaker for next year would be the best way to redeem McIntyre losing his special moment this year. He could easily be Undertaker's final WM opponent and perhaps beat him. The only other person I can see Undertaker facing is Bray/Fiend.
