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

[The Rainmaker]

-Cruiserweight match: Very good, albeit a little too long

-Battle Royal: Mojo Rawley vs Jinder Mahal would be a main event outside of a Walmart

-Ambrose vs Corbin: Boring ass boring match

-Shane vs AJ: Amazing match, but what else can you expect from the current Best in the World

-Owens vs Jericho: See cruiserweight match

-Raw women's match: It was OK

-Ladder match: Very good, mark out moment of the night

-Cena&Bella vs Miz&Maryse: A complete stunt from the beginning of the feud #GMB

-Rollins vs HHH: How can a man be on the best unsanctioned match ever and the most boring ever is beyond me.

-Orton vs Wyatt: Wyatt stole the Undertaker and Kane's powers to project GIFs into the canvas.

-Lesnar vs Goldberg: I was entertained

-SD women's match: GET YOUR SHYT IN AND GOGOGOGOGO

-UT vs Reigns: It was sad to see UT broken down and going out with a feud that barely got any reason to exist.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

This is where I'm at after last night. It just feels like a beating as a fan, to not be able to get behind the top guy.

Your top guy should NOT be boo'd like Cena or Reigns. The fact Cena has been boo'd since 2005 says everything about how stubborn and lazy Vince has gotten.

I could get behind Reigns or Cena if they were a heel...amd then they could turn face and I'd still support them.

But right now the future looks bleak for adult fans who actually PAY money.

Not to mention the shytty stream last night. Someone needs to be fired for that

I tapped out after 2-3 years of being force fed cena as the top guy while they kneecapped the rest of the roster to help him shine more. Even punk couldn't get me fully invested again because :flabbyvince: had burned so much good will and I knew they'd ultimately prove me right. Cena has legit never put over anyone at the end of their feud from 2004 onward. That was my freshman year of high school. I'm at the point now where me and my girl have our degrees and we're trying to get a home and within a year or two start a family. That is a long time to pass and grow as people. Cena as a character has not grown in any way at all and hasn't helped anyone else look good except maybe edge. According to the review @mrken12 wrote, the crowd was definitively behind the miz last night. If you can't get the crowd behind you against him, you're a complete failure as a face. He couldn't get the crowd behind him against triple h when he was still the top heel in the sport. You can't just suddenly appoint another top face and then just go and make the same push yet again if "beat everyone in every important match and accomplish everything in as little time as possible" and expect the crowd to not only tune in, but to like the guy too. There's nothing to like about either of them and it's been 13 straight years with another 7-10 to go of them demanding the crowd love Cena and Roman while ignoring everything else. I said it earlier, but if you can't get the crowd behind you against the guy who ended the streak just a year after ending it, you'll never have the crowd behind you. The worst part is that he goes on last no matter if he's champion or not, same as Cena. How can we get invested as fans when this guy the overwhelming majority of the crowd doesn't just hate, but wants to go away entirely is presented as both the top face and more important than the top title? This makes everything else feel irrelevant and worthless by comparison. It's a big reason why the only good answer for Cena's best rival is edge. He was his first big feud as the top guy and came before they sabotaged everything else to protect him. Both guys felt important instead of edge just being a guy for Cena to run over.

I haven't really watched wrestling in some years but why was everybody moving so slow? The match pacing was horrible, hit a move, soak in the crowd stand there for 30 seconds. Repeat. Is that the new style now? Or did that outside heat and humidity get to them?

 

[Spyro]

Where was The Rock? Any dirt sheets mention why he didn't show up last night?

Sat there for 5 hours waiting for The GOAT One to show up and he never did

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Thinking about it, for over a year now right they've pushed about how this is a Women's revolution, about how they're breaking down the barriers, about how they're making a change and about how the Women are now finally being given equal opportunity and blah blah.

Then at Wrestlemania on Raw all four available women are thrown into one match and on Smackdown on six available women are thrown into one match. On a SEVEN hour show for Wrestlemania.

Total time on this 7 hour show for the Women? A little more than 20 minutes.

But this is a revolution y'all

I haven't really watched wrestling in some years

I noticed a large # of people on here and in real life, watched last night who don't usually watch wrestling.

What a shytty show with such a large audience tuning in.

Not to mention however many ppl signed up for the Network and the stream was god-awful.

WWE dropped the ball in so many ways last night.

What do you use to stream the network?

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

That was an ASS WHIPPING. Undertaker will feel that for a few weeks. Roman carried that match from start to finish.

ehhh, thats not something to be proud of
they put him in such a shytty situation

What do you use to stream the network?

bro, I've used Roku(wifi) since 2014. In fact I went and bought 2 extra devices for my bedroom and another room b/c it's the only platform that streamed WWE network flawlessly.

But lately, the past 2 ppvs going back to the Royal Rumble, it's been acting weird. Dropping out of HD badly, timing out, etc.

And then WWE added Chromecast support, so i tried it b/c Chromecast is the GOAT streamer overall, and still had issues. I was switching back n forth all night. But during the day yesterday, I watched NXT Takeover and it was PERFECT, no issues.

Maybe I should've just left my live stream playing all day long and maybe it would've just flowed into WM with no issues.

Roku always works for me

I have noticed sometimes when you jump on the stream later in the show it sometimes has issues but clears up pretty quick

Tonight's match and a match doing 100+ moves has no correlation though

Taker really hung on too long, and Reigns wasn't the guy to try to walk him through a match at this stage of his career. It basically made them both look bad. Terrible booking for awhile now though. Taker should have hung up the boots in style after either of the HHH or HBK matches, or the Punk or Brock one where he took his first WM L. Taker looked bad, and no favors was done for Roman, as the WWE is deadset on pushing him as a 100% face.

Nah man, I was refering to ones who have to so much over the top shyt to get people into their matches.

 

[Skyjacker]

Becky was rocking celtic braids tonight and honestly I liked it. The match was rushed as hell. I hope the face paint stays though.

Mickie's gear was inspired by her lineage and heritage.
