Kevin Owens or Dean Amrbose going corporate?

WrestleMania 32 was underwhelming for a few reasons. But my god, that fucking stadium is a MONSTER. Did you see the size of those fucking screens surrounding the ring itself? Fuck, it's like Super Bowl.
I love how they designed the entrance section of WrestleMania. It works for many superstars, like Roman Reigns' entrance - when he punches the floor, they made an effect that he was stomping the floor and a crater crashes.
As strange as New Day's entrance was - it was unique for a few reasons. When's the last time you seen a full-blown (albeit fake) cereal take center stage, and the whole point of the cereal is to come OUT of the cereal box? No many. Then the costumes, New Day sported the Super Saiyan suits with a nod to Metal fucking Gear. Immediately went like "Metal Gear!" when I saw the logos on the back and on the heart sleeve.
So, back to underwhelming: Both Street Fight and Hell in the Cell did not deliver in my opinion. Let me talk about the Hell in the Cell first: The commentators need to stop the overhyping of matches. That was not the first time someone jumped off the Hell in the Cell structure with the intent of slamming the person below - Mankind jumped off Hell in the Cell twice - one by himself, the other by The Undertaker's chokeslam. Shane missed, and the match was cut short on Taker's call. When you hear Hell in the Cell, you think you're getting a bloody match that tests the will of either one competitor. It looked like Taker could do more in there, but chose to give Shane O'Mac a rest.
Now, Street Fight was even more disappointing. Blood. Blood needs to be shed in a
Street Fight, especially when you're armed with a barb wired bat. It was a stupid, useless match. WWE needs to stop worrying about "content not suitable" stuff, by making the whole show PG or PG13. It's a fucking PAY. PER. VIEW. Damnit.
Honestly, I'd feel ripped off if I was going to Wrestlemania for those to matches alone. Or, I'd be ripped off if I paid $50 for PPV in the current model, glad I paid only $9.99 to be able to watch WrestleMania.
But I will give the event this: Awesome performances by the Intercontinental contenders, and with a shocker ending seeing Zack Ryder finally getting his first WWE championship win with the IC title. Color me surprised by the Women's Championship match, too. Lita said it best: The bar has been raised by those three women. That was a fantastic match. Hopefully other Divas take notice and step up their game.
There were other surprises, like Shaq and Corbin in the Battle Royal. Then Corbin winning? Nice. Social Outcasts were flatout stupid in that match. They said they'd win this match, but nooo... yet another example of why Jobbers get a bad rap!
