Post Game Talk - The 40 hour WrestleMANia is over!

[Deen]

Triple H putting himself over was humorous.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Good match, bad finish. Caught the crowd by surprise instead of building to the coronation.

Oh well, off to bed.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

The ending was horrific

[TNT87]

I enjoyed WM despite it being so damn long. I would have liked a much better ending than what we saw in the main event though. I figured Becky would make Charlotte tap out so I didn't expect that. The fans didn't even expect it it seemed.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

The table got the biggest push of the night, honestly.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

That main event finish was bad.

You shouldn't be ending your biggest show of the year on a dusty finish. You shouldn't be using your biggest show of the year to build for a potential rematch on a lesser show later on down the line.

Five years from now, people are going to remember the Kofi match because it was an entertaining and satisfying blow-off to a feud that's been building for months. Are people going to remember the main event in the same light?

It's a shame, because it was a fine match excusing the rushed finish.

 

[Alex Jones]

There was only one match that wouldn't have been the worst match at Takeover.

 

[Jussi]

Crowd will be bonkers for Becky on Raw.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[WingsMJN2965]

If they were gonna end the match that way I would've preferred Kofi finished.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Well, that's equality. The women were dealt as shitty a hand as the men in the mains the last two years at least.

 

[Machinehead]

Kofi vs Bryan was a masterpiece. Great story, built properly, right guys, well acted, good wrestling.

 

[Serac]

I never would have made it through that entire mania without this forum, so thank you guys

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Glad I turned it off. Heard Becky won. The tough chick thing is cringe and forced. Its like putting on a bad action movie with someone miscast as the tough chick. With someone who is miscast as the part.

According to ratings and attendance, the womens segments, focused on Lynch have huge quarter hour drops. She appeals to the niche part of the fanbase that will watch no matter what.

Not people like me who will watch what they want when they want.
The quarter hours are proof she does not have appeal to the broader audience.

The only woman star in UFC or WWE is Rousey...otherwise men are the draw, outside of a few exceptions.

Rousey is the exception because shes a legit ass kicker, everyone knows it, and has a pretty enough face to go along with it. but she is 100% legit which makes her playing the part very believable.

Becky Lynch comes out to this hokey woooooooah music, tries to talk tough or whatever and it's cringe.

It's just cringe.

Honda will never lose clean, Look what they do with Brock. Vince likes the realism they bring.

Like the Kofi match.

I'm not quite sure it was meant to look like that since the ref began to count too early. Like I said, a second later and it would have looked better.

 

[BonMorrison]

Best Mania since 31 but yeah too long. Glad more of the faces went over, it works even if it’s predictable. The girls killed it in the main event - too bad the crowd was dead and the finish sucked.

 

[GarbageGoal]

If they were gonna end the match that way I would've preferred Kofi finished.

Do you think Kofi vs Bryan going on at midnight would have done much better?

Those guys went on at the perfect time. Kudos to them. The main event is a curse.

Plus goddamn that match was so good. Danielson hits the knee and Kofi sells it like a shotgun blast for the near fall. Best moment of the night for me.

 

[Cor]

****S TOO LONG YO

that was a freaking work shift

They need to go to 2 days.

6 matches one day, 6 the other. 2 pre-show matches both days.

4.5 hours each day max including pre-shows

[NewAgeOutlaw]

How are you supposed to pop the crowd in the main event after nearly half a day and numerous big matches?

I went to a three hour raw 5 years ago and was desperate to leave 2 hours in.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I'm too lazy to get up and grab the remote. Replay is going. Alexa is as gorgeous of a human being as Hulk is a fake one.
