WrestleMania Did the youth movement gain any momentum last night?

[Stopspot]

I do now,I just looked it up on wiki now but wouldn't it mean like everything we watch on WWE is all kayfabe, just gimmicks to please.

In a way yes. Every wrestler portrays a character. Some just take parts of themselves and enhance it (Guys like Cena, Daniel Bryan, Punk and such) and some play out more out there characters (Kane, Undertaker, Fandango).

The ends of matches are pre determined and done for entertainment value. What happens from start to finish of the match is mostly freestyled though.

It's like a drama show in a sports universe.

I actually feel bad for Jericho though. Out of all the part timers in Wrestlemania, Jericho is the only one who returned and wrestled every week, and did house shows. As his reward he got to job and one of the few veterans that lost at Wrestlemania to a debuting wrestling :dafuq:

Cena won
Taker won
Trips won
Henry won
Kane won

Shield won
Fandago won

Yeah, movement alright!

Bryan got the pin in the tag match. Ryback went over Henry in the end by shellshocking him after the match.

that equals 3 "old timers" going over and 4 younglings (Bryan, Shield, Ryback, Fandango). So yes, the youth movement did gain some but not that much, since they were not given that much time.

That's because Jericho is old school. He's doing what most old wrestlers did back in the day. Just job to younglings. He was never that up the card so he could be in a taker like position or with Rock' mainstream appeal to justify the protection he has.

I'll give you Shield and 2/3 chents of Fandango, but Bryan and Back... No.

There's no youth movement if that youth movement isn't happening in the main event scene or at least uppercard.

Midcarders getting some wins is OK, but not even close enough. Rock came, made nobody. Lesnar came, made nobody. Cena is 10 yrs at the top, he made nobody except Punk. HHH made Batista and that was 8 yrs ago. Miz went from main eventing to a pre-show.

Shield is the only TRUE youth movement going on right now in 'E.

He's still the first undisputed World champion and could have that position if they booked him stronger a year ago.

That does make sense in the matches and what I said above about Daniel does fit. If Team Hell No was predetermined then it was Kane's freestyle choice to let Daniel finish it.

Who gets the pin is usually determined beforehand. There is more story between Bryan and Ziggler than Ziggler and Kane so it made sense to have Bryan do it.
