I think I've just about recovered from this. I came back to this thread to expect a celebration of one of the grestest ever Mania's and instead I see some complaining at the booking?
Brehs this was magical from start to finish.
Hulkster, Austin & Rock kickin' it like some hombres, even clowning on Hulkster on that WWF Silverdome Botch. Haha! The Mount Rushmore of WWE starting it off.
Followed up by HHH/Bryan which tore the fukking house down. shyt was great. I coulda ended it all right there brehs. That entrance too!!
Yeah I'd have liked to have seen my dawg Reigns & Co come out and run a 20 minute killzone but they came in, whooped that ass, and kept the show moving.
Next up, check back on the posts brehs, I called my man Cesaro on that Battle Royal. He did his thing with that Andre/Hogan powerslam moment over the top rope
Cena had to go over, cos you know how Vince is. Bray is the kinda heel who won't be wounded bh that loss. He'll keep it moving like it ain't no thing. Incidently, I think he'll take Taker's spot. Big shows, big matches, big entrances. He's the new wave Taker.
What came next... I wasn't ready brehs. I was legit shocked. Vince, HHH, Taker, you got me. That was a booking masterclass. The shock at the three count, the silence, the jaws that dropped, the reactions, the tears, the hate, the anger, they fukking nailed it. I see that as Taker walking away, like a champ should do in the wrestling business... on your back. Take note Bret.
The main event, I gotta be honest, a small part of me thought Punk was going to make the save after the HHH, Steph run-in and then the legacy team-up. Never doubted D-Bry would take that strap. Glad he did, and a great moment to end the show on.
