Live WrestleMania Night 1 Discussion Thread - Saturday April 6th 2024

Jade is such a star, I hope she takes the belt off Iyo if Bayley doesn't.

Remember when Wrestlemanias had Limp Bizkit or Rev Theory as their theme song and not some mainstream pop music? At least we still have NXT.

Bruh hate to tell you, but this is what mainstream is......I'm an old man too.

Damn Roman's entrance was as bland as they come compared to Rocky's.

Only negative I have is the whole Uso/Uso match, what an absolute hot load of garbage that was. For a match that was built well and I thought had the potential to the best match of the weekend, this was straight up garbage.

Slightly puzzled on them having Rhea retain, not sure I get the thinking behind it. Has me intrigued but also a little worried on whether this might be it for Bex.

Loved the main event though with Rock being the egotistical boss making it so we had all the shenanigans. One little gripe, thought they might done blood with Cody to play on the whole thing with The Rock in the buildup. I guess technically they can still do it Night 2 but part me of thinks they won't want anything to do with that when they hopefully make him champ and want all the videos and pics. I like that Cody took the fall too as to not make Seth look like a massive chump losing back to back matches.

Quite the hot first night. I wouldn't put this Mania in the Top 5 of all time yet, but it was a very strong show. ...but this also scares me, that they once again will drop a lot in momentum and quality over the following weeks, as it's almost the usual with them, especially when they had a good Mania.

See I didn't think it was great at all minus Tag ladder, and Sami vs. Gunther (which was alright not my fav) and rock match did what it needed) rest was sort of meh. I think s & d was much better. Dale said it on s&d page show reminded me of nxt b&g days.

 

[Loochblade]

Well I didn't see NXT, but I believe you guys.

I was just enjoying the show overall and had nothing but minor gripes with it... and for me and a WWE PPV these days, that's rare, so I might have overrated it a bit.

Having two Philadelphia eagles support at ringside would have made sense of we'd seen them already and earlier in the match there was some face off at ring side between Dom and them . Instead we got two giant luchadors, which was kind of exciting at first until McAfee started saying they look like legends. I'm not a big NFL follower so I had no idea who they were but for commentary. I guess for some fans in the arena they wouldn't have the commentary, so any non NFL following fans from outside US may have been like "who the hell is this?" Honestly feel like Escobar and Dom deserved a little better after such a strong year. 3/10

The only thing I'd have done differently is maybe have them front row and have Dom get in their face first.

Live most of us had an idea who it was pretty quick. The masks made sense as Jason Kelce wore a lucha mask when he was celebrating his brother (the guy dating Taylor Swift) winning the Super Bowl. And he is arguably the most famous person to play his position in NFL history.

I think you don't understand what pop music was like in the early 2000s.

 

[Hosferatu]

Imagine this was the theme song for WrestleMania X8

 

[Cwalker]

I love that Hollywood theme remix

Which is fine since I'm talking about the current one. We went from Nu Metal / Alternative songs to the weeknd.

Yeah the NXT PPV was definitely better than Night 1 overall. The NA Championship match was amazing.

 

[Sha-J Lee]

I hope you get to see Cody finish the story.

Yeah that’s what I’m fuckin hoping for


And I’m also hoping there’s a chill in the air tonight. Maybe a little… Stone Cold

I had no idea GUNTHERs reign ended at 666 days lol. Thats creepy.
