Official WrestleMania 33 thread [4/2/17 from Orlando, Florida]

[DoubleJ13]

Orton winning

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

That genius booking taking the strap off AJ so that Orton could go over Wyatt in 10 minutes

Their 2016 MVP and the best in the world drops the title so he can open wrestlemania and for Randy Orton to win title number 13 or 14 in short match nobody will remember by 2020

The Hardy Boyz was easily the best moment of WM33.

Aside from that there wasn't many surprises like I thought there would be. And no Hogan thank god.

Anyways...aside from this shyt being like 5 hours long...i enjoyed the show for the most part. I thought Bray should have went over since Taker leaving he's already doing mystic shyt. Orton doesn't need the win there. I guess I'm one of the few not really mad about Roman. Most people don't even have a legit reason to boo the dude other. They haven't even force him on the title in a while. I feel like we got our grand entrance quota filled. Cena got engaged...lmao.Kind of sucks that they used Miz and Maryse for that though. Would like to have seen Miz get the win there and go on a Mega heel run but I guess they got AJ and Bray still in the mix. Hardys are back and leap frogged everybody. Raw seems really stacked right now with Finn returning, Seth looks like he's back, Joe, Roman, Braun, maybe they'll split up Cesaro and Sheamus, Sami, KO, Y2J, etc... plus call ups...they have alot of different ways to go i guess. SD seems like they gonna have a lot of shuffling around to do with feuds.

Out here throwing around "Wonderful!' and 'Delete!' like Fukk that Owl

People aren't tuning in to see Roman lose though. They don't want him as a top face and if he gets force fed to them, they tune out. The same thing happened with cena. Ratings have been dropping for 16 straight years because of booking in this manner of "I don't care what you want, it's about what I want" from :flabbyvince:. I've had no desire to watch the last three wrestlemania events and didn't watch any of them, largely because I just don't care to watch a show where this guy is presented in the manner he is. They blatantly make everyone else look bad to prop him up to an even more extreme length than they did with John cena.

Not everybody is tuning out tho lol they just had like their two biggest Manias with Roman headlining. Ratings are dropping but thats a combination of things

 

[FooFighters]

Orton winning

Bray looked weak.

 

[El Guapo]

I enjoyed most of the show. The only matches that felt real down to me were Triple H vs. Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton and Roman Reigns vs. Undertaker. Everything else was acceptable/passable or even really good.

Match(es) of the night: AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon and Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg. Two different type of matches, but both worked in their different ways.
Moment of the night: Hardys returning

 

[Golayitdown]

But the beards are gonna whine forever about this, already they're blaming the botches on Roman hell they're blaming everything on him, its pathetic

How? the bigger guy couldn't flip over into the spot.

Exactly. I liked the idea of the match but the execution was lacking. To be fair though, I think AJ and Cena are the only ones that could have a legit good match against Taker in his current state. He couldn't do much in the ring, and the crowd DOES NOT buy into any his signature moves. Since WM 30 fans just don't believe in Taker's nearfalls and are just waiting for the 3rd Tombstone. And after watching 7 hours of live wrestling is even harder to have a crowd engaged.

In retrospect, the match had zero chance of being good or satisfying. The "old legend runs out of gas, gets overwhelmed and retires" story was a good choice, but they just couldn't pull it off.

Yep. if he was in WM 29 or 31 shape, this could have been a great match.

Really enjoyed this Mania, knew it was gon deliver. Way better than 32

Their 2016 MVP and the best in he world drops the title so he can open wrestlemania and for Randy Orton to win title number 13 or 14 in short match nobody will remember by 2020

That is terrible

 

[Skyjacker]

That Goldberg/Lesnar match is clear proof that doing 100 + different moves doesn't make a great match.

 

[qnsfinest]

I can't compare this to the past 2 or 3 manias because I missed them but this show could of been a bit more enjoyable had it been shorter.

Crowd was dead dead and it brought the Overall excitement of the show down. Can't blame them one bit. Damn near 8hrs

Best match on the show was clearly the ladder match and the match I'm most disappointed in was owens and jericho, i really thought it had potential to be MOTN.

AJ vs Shane- 3.5 stars
Owens vs jericho- 3.5 stars
Womens 4 way- 3 stars
Ladder match- 4 stars
Cena/bella vs miz/wife- 2 stars
Rollins vs HHH- 2.5 stars
Orton vs wyatt- fukkin trash
Goldberg vs lesnar- 3 stars
Womens match- 2 stars
Taker vs reigns- 1 star

Overall- 6 out of 10, I was gonna give it 5, but I marked out when the hardyz returned, truly the only legit wrestlemania moment tonight

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

So, the Hardyz have been TNA, ROH and WWE tag-team champions in the span of a month

And they fought the Bullet Club twice in one weekend in two different companies

They're on Award Tour with King Maxell, my man - going each and every place with fireworks in the hand...
