This and Zack Ryder in the IC match were the highlights of a very mediocre night.

You'd think they could have afforded some armor that looked decent and fit right...

Only main eventers like John Cena and Brock Lesnar make that kinds of money.

I don't know what Wrestlemania you both were watching because the only thing mediocre about last night was Triple H vs Roman Reigns. I agree the IC Title Match with Ryder winning was great. Chris Jericho vs AJ Styles was a entertaining technical match. The only reason you would say that sucked is if you are a Styles fan instead of a Jericho fan. I do not like Women Wrestling but even I can admit that match rocked with Banks, Charlotte, and Becky. The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon match started slow but it ended with a huge drop from the Hell in a Cell. It was crazy. You must be insane if you didn't get a kick out of Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and Stone Cold Steve Austin laying waste to The League of Nations and everyone getting a freaking Stunner left and right. That whole bit with The Rock having his wrestling gear underneath his clothes and beating Erick Rowan with a Rock Bottom in 6 seconds was hilarious.

It was a rock solid Wrestlemania in my opinion. It wasn't the best Wrestlemania obviously but it being mediocre was one thing it was not.

Taker Shane had the jump off the cell and the rest was a slow boring drag, the Undertake has to retire.

The Rock had no business being there and his segment was far too long and did nothing but bury the Wyets and kill their momentum. Ambrose Lesner was a "Street fight" that barely left the ring and consisted of Brock making Ambrose look super weak.

New blood Style ends up losing to old man Jericho in what should have been a passing of the torch match where Style gets over big time with the crowd.

But i will admit the Women's match was a good match, but the rest, including the pre-show was a huge let down

This Mania was just flat out bad, the crowd was DEAD at the Biggest show of the year, even going so far as to actively boo the Faces (Good Guys)

Outside of that skit and the triple threat Women's title match, this year's Wrestlemania sucked hard.

Ryder winning the IC belt even though he's done nothing for 5 years made no sense.

AJ Styles losing to over-the-hill Jericho on his WM debut sucked (so, Jericho loses to Fandango, but beats AJ Styles?!?)

Ambrose-Lesnar was underwhelming.

Shane-Taker, outside of Shane's big dive off the cell, dragged on for too long.

Wyatt's being buried by part timer Rock and a currently injured Cena was rage-inducing.

And WWE forcing Roman Reigns down our throats with him winning the title just proves that Vince & WWE Creative are completely out of touch with their audience.

Not to mention, NXT Takeover Dallas completely blew Wrestlemania out of the water and THAT was from the Developmental brand of WWE.

Seriously, go watch Takeover Dallas. Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the best matches of the year.

Hey, wrestlers dressing in Saiyan armor. This would have really been neat, you know, back in 1999. Razz

I dig the cereal box thing, though.

Their cosplay craziness levels just went over 9000.

I bet a lot of scouters will be broken.

I don't watch WWE at least not anymore but this DBZ skit was sure fun to watch. Smile

That would surprise nobody. Such a oversight comes, after all, from the same commentator who once made mention of the former Women's Champion, "Bull Nakona".
