Are you guys excited for wm 40?
Very much so. The most I’ve been excited for WrestleMania in legit ages. Should be a fun time.

WrestleMania 40 is likely going to live up to expectations just like Mania 10, 20, and 30. They always go all out for the anniversary shows.

That’s a great point. The ten anniversaries always deliver.

At this point I am too, I'm done being bitter I may not like the matches or the results of some matches but hopefully at least one match entertains me on both nights

Pro wrestling has been the only constant in my shitty life

It's time for me to accept the things I can't change

The business no longer caters to my type of wrestling and that's fine

I'll take what I can enjoy and leave the rest

30 was actually the first one I enjoyed in years at that point.

Makes me wonder just what the hell is in store for WrestleMania 50
I expect half that show to be people that haven’t even hit the PC yet, to be honest. Miracle so many people from 30 will perform on this show, but I doubt too many will make any ten years.

I can guarantee that in ten years' time, Roman and Seth and Cody will probably be retired, but what a ride it will be.

WrestleMania XX was my very first mania, and will always remain my favorite for nostalgic reasons.

What did you think of the undertaker's return with paul bearer that year?
Liked him returning, I always enjoy Paul Bearer, but I didn’t care for the gimmick coming back. For two reasons: the first being I don’t think characters should completely go backwards. You can go back a little, but it should mostly evolve. You can have stables and factions come back, but actual individual gimmicks should be moving forward. The second is I don’t think it was done particularly well. I loved every iteration of the Deadman before he went away in 1999, but something about his 2004-2021 version didn’t draw my interest. I don’t think it helped that he was much older at that point, but mainly he he didn’t even really bring back the original gloves, puffy shirts or anything. It was just a singlet tucked into leather pants and a cowboy hat for some reason. I just didn’t care for it. I’m probably the only person that didn’t.

I also LOVED the Big Evil Undertaker. His 2002-2003 run specifically. Not so much 2000.
