WWE is now literally telling people not to purchase tickets for night 2 of wrestlemania. Truly astounding.

The only thing that could *possibly* make this Pat McAfee nonsense worth it is if Randy Orton wins #15. Then, as he and McAfee are celebrating in the ring, BAM, Randy drops him with an RKO... And then punts him for good measure because FUCK Pat McAfee for putting us through this bullshit build.

"You were a useful little tool, I got what I wanted. Now I don't need you anymore, so fuck you. BAM, RKO. And then I'll show you that I'm a better punter than you EVER were, and kick your head clean off your shoulders. Just to put that cherry on top of the "thank you" cake."

The point of that, you ask? To hammer home a simple message: Never trust a snake. Never trust Randy Orton.

That may be the least bad way to end it, but doesn't make it worth it.



Night One was better than I expected but not as good as one would hope for Mania.

Pretty much every match did what it needed to do aside from the Liv/Stephanie match which was just too short and the main event which was just kind of weird. It would have been fine for a main event of an average PPV but not as the main event of Mania.

It honestly could have worked if they had built it right. The idea at the core was solid. Basically Cody just showing that he learned from Orton and was willing to do what it took to win. Take out all the Macafee stuff and it would have been decent if not spectacular.

Nothing blew me away but a perfectly fine way to spend a few hours.



Love the transition from Brock retiring into a capital ome commercial XD

Holy shit!

So Brock is done?

Like, DONE-done?!?



But, man.

Brock just put over Oba Femi in the biggest way possible.

The sky is the limit for Oba now.
He should be wearing gold around his waste by the end of SummerSlam.

Just strap the rocket to him and let him TAKE OFF.



Two matches in and Night Two is already Head and Shoulders above Night One.



Damn. Jade vs Rhea really exceeded my expectation. Easily the best match Jade has put on. She looked crisp, timing was on point, and she played her part perfectly. Could have done without the shennanigans, but that's mostly cause I was really into the match.



The main event can make or break a show and this one made it. Pretty much the pinnacle of a WWE style main event.

I think I said something similar to last year, but I think the real problem here is that this was a two nights show. If you take the best 7 or 8 matches and put them on one card, you'd have a damn good wrestlemania. Spreading them out over two shows just didn't work.

On its own, night two was one of the better WWE PLEs of late, although maybe not one of the better Manias. But despite a truly awful build I'm ending the weekend looking forward to seeing Raw tomorrow, so I guess that's kind of a win.
