I forgot to mention, although I feel Charlotte was the right person to end the streak. Asuka tapping out was the worst fucking way to do it. Asuka shouldn't be tapping to anybody, Charlotte should have beaten her with a couple Natural Selections.
Asuka lost. What did she do? She smiled and laughed. Its clear it meant nothing to her. I don't know why anyone cared about her streak in the first place.

Or some kind of suicidal moonsault that took them both
out & Charlotte just happened to land on top of Asuka.
The tapping was strange...like when Charlotte locked
in the Figure 8 I was like "Asuka will break out of this"
& then she tapped & I was like:
WHAT?!?!
Like I literally yelled that loud my neighbor texted me to
see if I was okay.
Hey! I'm "the Negative One" around here...
But seriously...I thought Asuka would snap &
fly into a rage, choking Charlotte out only to
then hear Carmella's theme music...but instead
they had Shinsuke react that way towards A.J.
For real tho. Asuka lost and she looked like she didnt give a fuck.
Shouldnt the story be Asuka goes crazy with rage and now we have a even more aggressive scary Asuka. But no. Just more taint licking between Charlotte and Asuka.
Those pancake people were great tho
They might have it build to this. Maybe she will go on a losing streak for a few weeks and then become insane.

I agree with you 110%...
Asuka should have choked Charlotte out & Carmella should have cashed in...
but instead we got Cena running to the back.
STOP SAYING THAT!!!
*Thinks for a few seconds*
And now I need a few minutes...
Looks like thats the plan. Could main event Mania
I dont what Charlotte is going to do next in the meantime. Continue being the queen and defending her title probably.
Every mania weekend I think to myself, " damn this could be a great WrestleMania." Then takeover happens and I get really hyped thinking maybe this is the year they out do NXT...then the show happens and it has it's moments in-between the odd and down right stupid booking that ruins it for me.
Asuka's streak? Fuck it, can't wait a year to let it build on the main roster we gotta end it now.
AJ/Naka? Yeah give them only 20 minutes and don't let them wrestle the way we know they can because we don't want them stealing the show from DA BIG DAWG.
Speaking if the big dog fuck him keep it on Brock.

If this is a legit fact and they did indeed tell these two to "tone down" their match, I would lose all respect for this company.
I said this before that I don't think it is logical to have some wrestlers do this to favor others, but after tonight, I know nothing.
Asuka lost, DA BIG DAWG lost, and Nicholas became a pants wetting legend. Are we all on drugs?
This is me reading your weak ass posts critiquing WrestleMania
Wrestling fans, talking about Wrestlemania exchanging their opinions, on a wrestling forum...
What did you expect? No need to act all smug and try to be cute with a lame cena reaction gif.

I actually loved Asuka's reaction. It's like one punch man, no matter who he fought, he won, and he got incredibly bored. Hell, that story was less OPM vs the villians and more OPM vs his boredom. That's why Asuka challenged Charlotte, she knew she could be Bliss, and she was getting bored of always winning. Charlotte beat her clean, and by submission even! Now Asuka has a reason to train, she has a reason to want to earn a title match, because there is finally someone better than her that she can strive to beat
Compare that to Shinsuke, who lost his third WWE title match in a row, and lost his first Wrestlemania moment. He lost and lost and lost, and he finally snapped. Asuka isn't on that level of losing yet, since her loss gave her a purpose while Shinsuke's loss ripped away his last hope of greatness
That also goes into why she was thankful and made a big deal about it. Like, at first, "Nobody is ready for Asuka!" was her basking in her glory, but you can argue it's become, "Sigh... Nobody is ready for Asuka." Which is why when Charlotte won, she was excited, because "Finally, FINALLY, someone IS ready for Asuka!"

Some may consider this a rather harsh rating but I gave this a 3/10. Was it the worst Mania of all time? Certainly not and just to be clear, this low rating has very little to do with the perfomers themselves (for the most part almost everyone gave it there all) and is mostly a result of the pathetic, outrageous and in some cases simply rediculous booking throughout the evening. I know I have a tendancy of doing long posts when feeling the need to speak my mind but 7 hours was already long enough so keeping this very short and simple:
- The kick off part was fine. Between two Battle Royals that at the end of the day mean absolutely nothing and a very good Cruiserweight championship match (congrats Cedric Alexander), I guess it was ok. The most interesting part was obviously Brays involvement and the assist he gave Matt for the win and that was basically the only thing that left me curious as to what could be next for these two.
- Congratulations to Seth Rollins but even though I understand the importance of him becoming a grand slam winner, I still can't help but think that the IC title is beneath him at the moment and that he should be part of the main event scene. I personally figured Miz would retain and hold the belt for another month and after breaking Morales's record (which, by the way, the commentary team kept reminding us of) but, hey, at the end of the day this isn't something I'm going to complain about, nor the worst thing that happened throughout the night.
- Speaking of worse things, Charlotte winning is one of them. The match itself was fantastic and in my book easily match of the night but...the finish? I understand there are a lot of fans that don't necessarily like the idea of Asuka's undefeated streak however when it comes to storytelling, I feel it was one that had a lot of mileage left into it, at least for another year, whether it be building a match with Ronda Rousey or even a rematch with Charlotte. So, in other words, I don't disagree with the person that ended the streak, just the timing. I mean, why fix something that ain't broken?
- If the Smackdown Woman's Championship match was MOTN, the mixed tag was clearly the most entertaining and I'm sure most will agree that especially Ronda looked fantastic. If I had to nitpick, I think it may have gone a few minutes longer than it should and perhaps Stephanie shouldn't have that much offense in this but at the end of the day, it was a damn fun match so no serious issues here, plus the right team won and in the ideal fashion.
- So once again WWE have the chance with Rusev but not only does he not get the gold, they actually had him eat the pin too. In other words, WWE just gave us a big old middle finger, telling us to simply fuck off. No wonder Rusev wants out and, well, can you blame him? What a waste....
- Smackdown Tag Team Championship: This was up there on paper for MOTN but instead I almost fell asleep.
- I'm a mark for Taker so him showing up (as expected) was a great moment for me and there's no denial he looked great for the few minutes he competed. Granted, he only took one bump and worked a quick match but, hey, it worked just fine and the majority of the fans were happy so...well done. Perhaps the only negative thing is that I expected a bit more out of Elias but whatever...
- Don't know if this is going to be a "thing" now where Braun will be picking a "random" fan everynight to be his partner but can't say I am thrilled about the idea. It's quite different, I'll give them that, but don't really like this angle plus I don't really appreciate the way they are handling Braun overall. Given the events that occured by the end of the night, he should be instantly challenging (and winning, I might add) Brock for the Univeral Championship.
- I've already heard a few people bitching about Nakamura's heel turn but I'm actually fine with it. Not for nothing, it at least adds some intrigue plus it shows that WWE at least still care....that ought to be worth something...
- Last but not least the main event, which was the most rediculous booking I have ever seen in my 25+ years of following WWE or WWF back in the day. You mean to tell me that you have the F5 booked as the most devistating move for all this time, a move in which NO ONE EVER kicks out, including Braun Strowman if I'm not mistaken, yet Super(o)man kicks out of five of them in one night? Seriously? And on top of that they throw us the "swerve" with Brock winning because...shocking moment?
I feel WWE have lost the meaning of "shock value" and just do things for the sake of doing them, without any thinking behind it. They ended Takers Mania streak a few years back for no apparent reason, they ended Asuka's streak last night for no apparent reason and then they book Roman Reigns in the most pathetic way possible...only to lose? Seriously, what the fuck is this?
Furthermore, awful work on commentary in this match, no selling the fact that Roman kicked out of the first F5, let alone the second or third that followed.
And by the way, if by any chance someone thinks I'm overanalysing or overexaggerating, tell that to the 70000+ fans in New Orleans that got the beach balls out in THIS AND ONLY THIS match, while also chanting "boring" and "this is awful". If that ain't a hint already that something is wrong, WWE might as well just shut store first thing in the morning...
I guess the only interesting thing that I can take out of all this is...what's next in regards to the Universal Championship? I would imagine Brock is showing up on RAW tonight so interesting to see who challenges him next (you would think Roman is out the picture, right?). Perhaps a returning Samoe Joe? He'd be my guy...
