The Big WWE Wrestling Thread

Had to call it a night after the Taker match, will watch the last match tonight when I get home, was worth the price of a month of 'network just for Bray doing his upside down spider walkie thing and Taker sits up :D

Enjoyed the event all in all, IC Title match was the usual brutal spotfest WM ladder matches have become, not really a bad match! DX/NWO was a nice flashback but would have preferred to see Sting win!
 
Man, I'm tired this morning!

Awesome Mania, best for a very long time. Didn't like the ending but that's mostly because I'm a Brock mark :p
 
One of the best manias and ppvs that Wwe have put in ages!

Top to bottom great booking and so many outcomes.

Tag match was really fun

Battle royal, only bad I can say is mizdow not winning but I'm glad they waited till now to do the turn. Only thing was itami not being made into a bigger deal.

Opener was fantastic! The ziggler Bryan, new japan style headbutts were painful to watch, esp the welt on bryans head.

Seth Orton was excellently executed Wrestling. They are just the best workers and brought their a game. Really impeccable timing and work together like warm butter and hot toast.

BEST RKO EVER!

and Seth loosing made perfect sense with him winning later, opening a Seth Orton title program.

Hhh sting, needed smoke and mirrors, and it was done perfectly minus one thing. PS the hhh entrance was amazing, don't understand the dislike it got. Dx /nwo was fitting, Sting not winning was fine, but a baby face gets beaten by the heel who has 4 man helping vs the 3 on the face team. And then gets beaten by a weapon, but then shakes the heel's hand after. Strange booking after the fact.

Divas match was fine. Nowt on nxt but still decent.

Rusev entire entrance was great, including being announced first. Really good match considering both the people there. Glad lana was back. You know their act is special when an 80s act works in 2015. The loss made sense, he needed to be beaten at one point, didn't look weak, and in the bigger picture the title needed cena, as did the ic need Bryan to elevate the titles. Now they get two top stars to have good fueds help build new stars and make the upper mid card mean something. People see it as yawn, cena, but think of the possibilities. Rusev has come off a bigger star due to cena, others can too.

Taker bray had an odd build up, but passable match. Taker winning was needed, bray isn't hurt by a loss to taker, but more importantly they can set a trajectory for taker lesnar 2 next year in dallas as a retirement and taker wanting his only loss at mania avenged. Goading brock over the year, possibly costing him the rumble. Would be huge along side hhh rock.

Stephenie is the best heel ever. Yep ever. Absolutely superb. Ronda and rock were perfect. Sets up the match next year brillaint and even a mixed tag instead which would be massive if Ronda is allowed. The whole angle was excellent as was Rondas tee-shirt. Best thing on the show was her attire. And this was a great show.

Finally they booked the perfect title match. I would watch lesnar suplex a broom and it would be superb. Heyman outstanding. Reigns played his part great. Hardway blood was the icing. They were looking to give each other potatoes, and it helped get the match over as two tough SOBs fighting. The change the MITB rule was excellent. I'm sure everyone clocked he would cash in. No one thought like that. Brock doesn't get pinned, Reigns looked strong being pinned and wasn't booed out of the building for pinning lesnar. Seth sneaks it, opens up so many avenues for matches down the line.

Great mania, esp when's expectations were a dud. Overall I'm really happy
