WrestleMania Rate Wrestlemania 33

[Grievous 3D]

Okay...from the top...

~ Neville defeated Austin Aries (15:40) a solid match with the result I wanted...

~ The ATGMBR (14:07) I honestly thought Strowman had this...but...Mojo winning was a nice surprise...
I'm Australian...so I have no idea who that guy was...and I don't really care...

~ Ambrose defeated Corbin (10:55) and Ambrose retains...Okay...I'm not happy about it...but I'll live...I just
hope Ambrose does something with the belt now. That was the first defense Ambrose has wrestled
since he won the belt.

~ A.J Styles defeated Shane McMahon (20:09) Styles won...I honestly didn't care about this match...I'm just
glad its over. I'm guessing Styes will more into a Championship program with Orton now...

~ Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho (16:20) KO will hopefully be booked better as the United States Champion...

~ Bayley defeated Charlotte, Sasha Banks & Nia Jax (12:08) Okay...so Charlotte looked amazing...reminded
me of that Katy Perry song "Peacock" I'm glad the 3 horsewomen triple teamed Nia...smart booking...the triple
powerbomb was great. I'm annoyed that Sasha didn't turn and was the second one eliminated. Seriously...
[HASHTAG]#sashadeservesbetter[/HASHTAG]

I have serious doubts that Sasha is even turning heel...she almost can't because of the way the RAW
women's division is structured at the moment.

Bayley is starting to annoy me with how she being booked...she is getting "everything"
given to her andI honestly think she doesn't deserve it. It doesn't feel like she has earned
any of this...especially when you compare what she has done on the main roster to what
Charlotte & Sasha have done in the last 12 months.

I could honestly see Sasha leaving the WWE when her contract is up...the way she has
been treated and booked is not right. Ever since she lost at Hell in a Cell its been all down
hill and its clear to me that the childish idiot Bayley has taken her spot.

Charlotte had an amazing 2016 and I understand that she can't win every match and be
Champion all the time...but Sasha never even had a decent run as Champion...

To put it in perspective...
Alexa Bliss has had 2 reigns as champion for a total of 111 days...
Sasha has had 3 reigns as champion for a total of 75 days...

WTF?! Now I love Alexa Bliss and I'm grateful she was given a run
with the title so early in her career...but...its just not right that she has
been a more successful champion than Sasha.

This match would have meant more if Charlotte was still the Champion and
undefeated on Pay Per Views...that way Bayley could have won the title, pinned
Charlotte clean and broken the streak in one magic moment...but no...she just
retained her title...wow...exciting...

I really hope the RAW women's division gets a reboot tomorrow night and Emma, Dana, Alicia and Summer
Rae all show up to end the repetitive nightmare on RAW.

~ Okay...the Hardyz showing up was great...I'm not sure of they are BROKEN...but its the shot in the arm the
RAW tag division needed...this match went for 11:05...which seems too short. I guess Enzo & Cass will have
to wait...the Club are a joke and hopefully this means Sheamus & Cesaro can go their separate ways.

~ John & Nikki defeated Miz & Maryse in 9:40...and I would have rather seen M&M win...but I'm glad Cena got
down on one knee...Congratulations John & Nikki...

~ Seth Rollins defeated Triple H in 25:30...and Stephanie looked great...not much to say...I'm glad its over...
Please let Rollins stay healthy...

~ Randy Orton defeated Bray Wyatt in 10:30...and I'm really shocked at this result...what was the point of
rebuilding Bray? All that build for a 10 minute match? No Harper or Rowan? Just...why? Its not like Orton
hasn't held enough titles in his career.

Well...so much for the Wyatt Era...

~ Brock Lesnar finally defeated Goldberg in 4:45...and it wasn't even the main event...I honestly don't care...Next!

~ Okay...so the SmackDown ladies were moved from the kickoff show to the main card and were the second last
match...which sounds great...but...the match lasted 5:35 and had the predictable ending of Naomi winning the title
for the second time.

I also hate the fact that Alexa was made to look weak again by screaming in agony and
tapping out so quickly.

Couldn't Carmella have been the one Naomi submitted? That way Alexa could demand a
rematch claiming Naomi never actually beat her...and then have Naomi defeat her in a
singles match?

Why is Alexa only booked strongly when she isn't carrying the title? I don't understand...

5:35? These 6 women deserve so much better than that...you could have taken 2 minutes from KO/Jericho,
Styles/McMahon & Rollins/Triple H and given this match an extra 6 minutes...but no...5:35 is all they were given.
They have had longer 1 on 1 matches on SmackDown.

This is Vince's way of saying "Fuck You" to the audience and those who "complained" about the match being on
the kick off show.

"Fine...you want the ladies of the Blue Brand on the main show...you got it! Enjoy your 6 minutes assholes!"

I'm happy for Naomi...but I only wish they didn't jump the gun at Elimination Chamber and had this be her first title
win. I just hope she can stay healthy...because another injury...and I'd guess that the WWE won't waste their time
and title on her again.

On a positive note...Becky looked stunning...seriously...she should stick with that hairstyle and the face paint.

So with Asuka retaining the NXT title and Nikki Bella taking some time off to recover from a neck injury flare up...
the SmackDown ladies also need some new faces to help strengthen the division and keep it interesting. I'd guess
Tamina will be showing up soon...but...she may not be enough.

Also...I'm sick of Ellsworth...he can be fired now...

~ [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

That is just my first glance opinion...and while some of the results annoyed me...some had me smiling...
but...
the 2 Women's matches had a combined time of 17:43...and frankly that isn't good enough...
(I'm not counting the mixed tag match)

This card was overbooked and Styles/McMahon & Rollins/Triple H took up too much time!

Still...it was a better event than Wrestlemania 32...but the women were treated better last year.

 

[Zardnaar]

+1 on Steph looking great. Sigh.

HHH and Rollins was a bit meh and was 10 minutes to long.

7 hour even (I was not planning on watching the preshow but did). I actually booked the day off work for it so I got paid to sit at home for 7 hours of WM.

Forgot to get suitable junk food for it and the cat abandoned me for a sun beam. 1st WM I have watched live (back in 80's and 90's I watched some several years out of date).

 

[Travs]

I'm gonna go with giving this show a 7/10. I'm glad that I watched the whole thing through from start to finish because it was a good show, but there were a lot of low points in it that kinda detracted from the experience.

Neville vs. Austin Aries - This was a great match. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. It's a shame that Aries didn't walk away with the belt but I can see why they're keeping it on Neville for the time being cos the dude is sky high atm. If this match hadn't been on the pre-show the actual main card would have been better imo and I think that these two deserved to have a main card spot, but whatever.

Andre the Giant Memorial - I had Braun down to win this match, so to see him not crush every single person in the match was actually quite surprising. I wasn't expecting Mojo to win if I'm honest, nor was I expecting my man Jinder Mahal to be the last man eliminated. If Jinder hadn't messed with the Gronk, then maybe my man Jinder wouldn't have been hindered like he always has been. Damn it Jinder, you stupid idiot.

Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin - Urgh, this match. It was slow and it was really boring for me. I don't see what the hype is behind Baron Corbin, because the only thing he seems to do for me is stomp around and shout at people. I was surprised at the ending, but kinda glad about it. Glad they put it on the pre-show.

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon - What a match. Honestly, if not for Rollins/HHH this would have been my match of the night. It had some great stuff in there and Shane sold like a boss. That shooting star press, in my opinion, was inch perfect for a man who's nearly 50 years old. I don't think they could have done anything more to make this match better, which is surprising when you consider how much hate this match was given. It just shows you how good AJ Styles truly is.

Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho: A good match, but quite forgettable to be honest. I always expected KO to win, especially since it's down in my mind that Jericho always puts people over at Mania. This match had some good spots, like the walls of KO, but in the end there was nothing truly stand-out to me to make the match memorable. Some people might disagree, but that's just what I think.

RAW Women: Ehhhh. Charlotte should have won, in my mind. It was good to see the three of them work together to defeat Nia Jax and the high-five thing from Charlotte did make me laugh, but the rest of the match was average for me. The whole turnbuckle thing seemed cliche, but was done rather well considering.

RAW Tag Team Match: What a match. Going into this match, I was not interested in it at all. But then, the New Day come out and make it a fatal four way. The fourth team? THE HARDY BOYZ. I was glad to be in that forum chat when that happened, because it was hilarious to see the marking out. I myself was trembling and in shock about it all, but it is good to see them back. They deserve the belts and they will make RAW DELIGHTFUL!

Cena/Nikki vs. Miz/Maryse: Meh. Not really interested in this match. Miz and Maryse should've won. Proposal was alright, I guess.

Seth Rollins vs. Triple H: This match was MOTN for me. Such great storytelling between the King of Kings and Crossfit Jesus. The entrances were on point and the actual story of the match had me glued to my seat. It was good that they relied on the knee a lot because that's what the whole feud relied on for a bit, so to see that wasn't ignored was a giant tick in my box. One downside for me is that Senor Joe didn't make an appearance, but I'll take Stephanie through a table over that any day of the week. She sold that like a boss.

Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt: This match was just...weird. From the sperm cell following Randy to the maggots and the bugs in the ring, I kinda got lost in what the hell was going on. Orton deserved the win, but he battered Wyatt into the ground unnecessarily to do so. If this was Wyatt's career highlight, well, let's just say it won't be a very good career, will it? Hopefully they'll do more with him, though. I have my reservations on that.

Bork Laser vs. Oldberg: I had no faith in this match. I was tired of this feud and it lost all heat and momentum for me when they put the title on the line. However, I was surprised about the match. The barricade spot and Lesnar leapfrogging the spear were the coolest moments and it was good to see Bork Laser send Oldberg packing to Suplex City, without a doubt. Thanks for coming, Oldberg, see you later.

SD Women: What a clusterfuck, lol. Glad Naomi won, but there was just too much in this match for such a short time. Natalya botched that sharpshooter all the way to hell, which was pretty funny.

Roman Reigns vs. Undertaker: Oh boy, this match. You know, Roman Reigns never really took off in my book. Bad booking, that's the reason why and this is another example of it. There is no way that Roman Reigns can carry a match and we all know Undertaker cannot, so that's what happened in this match. The first half of the match was alright, with Reigns just dropkicking Undertaker a lot. The spot with the announce table was brutal and the whole sitting up thing was pretty cool, but it just went down from there. You could visibly see how tired Undertaker was and that he couldn't carry this match, which led to some pretty hilarious botches. But the most important thing in this match, for me, was seeing how destroyed Undertaker was. This match stopped being Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns and turned into Roman Reigns destroys an old man who won't fight back at the end. It was crushing to see, especially the part where Undertaker sat up and then fell back down. If this is the Deadman's last hurrah, then it was a pretty shit one. He should have left his last match with his head held high and his hand raised, but he left this one limping down the ramp after lying comatose for five minutes. Like I said, it was pretty depressing to see.

It was a good 'Mania, don't get me wrong, but there were a lot of things that were questionable in my eyes.

 

[t4terrific]

7/10.

I would have given it an 8, but Reigns botched The Undertaker's retirement match.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

I just find it hilarious that the matches everyone talked shit about (Goldberg vs Brock, Shane vs AJ) ended up being the most exciting ones lol.

I thought WWE fucked up by putting Shane vs AJ on first. They should of of swapped that match with Triple H vs Seth Rollins or Bray vs Randy, which both matches were a let down. Bray and Randy felt like it got cut 10-15 minutes right before they went out backstage, same with Charlotte vs Sasha vs Nia vs Bayley.

Triple H vs Seth was a dissapointment cuz the "non sanctioned" stipulation was built up as it was gonna be this insane thing but it really wasnt. And then top it off with no Joe, no Finn, wtf?

Shane vs Aj, Goldberg vs Brock, and The Ladder Match were definitely matches of the night. The Hardys returning was easily THE WrestleMania moment. Fuck John Cena and Nikki. I was pleasantly surprised just how over the Miz was with the fans!

And WWE put on a true soap opera ending yo close out the show. Taker vs Reigns was very sad. It made it realize that Taker just can't do it anymore and his time is up. He looked like shit lol but he put up the good fight and will definitely be missed!

 

[Gembo]

Fuck it, I'm gonna be the unpopular one and say 10/10.
Aside from one or two dull matches, it kept me excited all the way through, there were some huge shocks, some good matches, I honestly couldn't say enough good about it. I'll maybe post a match-through-match thing later, but I can't be bothered right now

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

7/10

Shane and AJ was dope and AJ won, atta Boy creative!

Cena's proposal was nice to see

I had a major mindfuck when the Hardyz returned

Orton vs Wyatt was too short, however I did like those worms, brings back the nostalgia fear, and Orton won, I actually called that a while back

Goldberg vs Lesnar was all it needed to be for those several minutes. Though now you can say the sum of both title matches equal to under 20 minutes, this is also the first wresltmania since 21 where both world championships changed hands.

Feel pretty bad for Reigns having to do that, he's probably upset himself knowing how much people would hate him, but aye he can go full heel maybe.

And finally... thank you Undertaker

 

[Rosie]

Also, might I say how satisfying it is to see Triple H get hit with a Pedigree...

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

This show was actually a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I marked, I complained, I complained some more and I cried...this was a good mania. Aside from a few shitty booking choices I really enjoyed the show, 7/10.

The Good:



AJ/Shane was surprising.

HHH/Rollins was probably MOTN.

Undertaker/Reigns was...interesting. Good in its own way.

The Meh:

Both Women's Championship matches

Owens/Jericho was very underwhelming.

The Bad:

Ambrose/Corbin, I kinda feel bad for these guys.

Pretty much the last half of the show...aside from the main event.

Wyatt/Orton really sucked more than it should of. I guess it was held back because of time constraints gotta make time for a pit-bull mini-concert !! Wyatt's character is dead now, nothing will make him legitimate now.

 

[Eva Maryse]

Everything after the Hardys won was so terrible. Drags the whole show down to a 1/10. Cant believe I was stupid enough to get excited for Maryse's return and Miz getting a "big" match when they just got buried to hell. You could have replaced Miz and Maryse with a pair of local random jobbers and it would have been the same. They were just props for that cringe post match.

 

[Randy Borton]

Loved the show, enjoyed almost every match on the card. Choked up a bit seeing Taker put his hat, gloves, jacket in the middle of the ring. But good to see the Hardy Boyz back where they belong.

 

[edge4ever]

A 8 out of 10 for me. The matches were all all good in their own right, the ones on the main show.

Styles vs Shane: much better than anyone thought it would be. Tore the house down. Great opener.

KO vs Jericho: good US title match. Nice back and forth.

Tag titles ladder match: return of the Hardys and the spots. Awesome. Made mania better.

Raw women's title: diff than last years and not too bad. Adding nia jax made it not as repetitive as last year.

WWE title: I liked the fact that this match was diff and explosive from the start. Bray demonstrating his new powers was nice twist. The pace felt off, but it wasn't bad cause it was supposed to be diff. Randy winnning was the dumbest fucking thing that could've happened. But whatever. Vince clearly owed Randy.

Universal title: better than I thought. Just a brawl. Goldberg took Brock's moves and then finally lost, meanwhile Brock proved he can do what no one else can and take goldbergs spears and jackhammer.

Seth and triple h: hard to get into at first. Then towards the end it picked up and had a great spots. Something about Rollins though kind of annoys me at times. Like he's beyond talented but he also seems like he's just too bland and times and not emotional. No investment. All feels fake. Triple h is so good he makes it feel real and personal. Rollins doesn't.

Taker vs Roman: I wanted Roman to win this. And he did, even though there wasn't a heel turn, it was still good. I knew right when this match was moved to the main event and JR was called to commentate it. Roman was winning and taker was done. Great match because it was takers last and he gave it his all. The legend may be done, but he's never forgotten. Good passing of the torch.

 

[Chicken McDouble]

I'm going 8 out of 10, this mania was great.

Good:
- AJ and Shane was a brilliant opener and probably MOTN.
- The Hardyz returned and won the Tag Team Championships. (I went fucking insane, just check my Twitter.)
- Brock and Goldberg was good and surprised all of us.
- Rolins and Triple H was pretty good, best storyline going into Mania.
- Taker and Roman was a solid main event, JR commentating, and a passing of the torch that was done well. I'm still hoping for that Heel turn from Ramen Noodles.

Bad:
- Jericho and Owens was underwhelming and should've been a lot better considering it had one of the best storylines going in.
- Wyatt and Randy just felt meh, the worms and shit kinda surprised me, but Bray needed to win.
- Cena/Nikki and Miz/Maryse was again, meh. The proposal was a nice touch but the match itself wasn't that great.
- RAW Women's title match disappointed, the only real highlight was that Corkscrew Moonsault by Charlotte which was awshum.

 

[Chicken McDouble]

Forgot the pre-show stuff

- Aries vs Neville was good,
- Mojo winning is kind of 50/50 for me.
- Corbin and Ambrose nearly put me to sleep.
