Genuinely hardpressed to think of a worse Mania main event.

[Deleted]

At least Orton / Triple H had a decent build behind it and started off hot with the immediate RKO. At least Bam Bam / Taylor was fairly short and a decent match, just a bad main event. At least Cena / Miz didn't feel the need to mute the damn mics and had an ending that made the crowd happy.

Like, holy hell that match sucked. You'd have figured it'd be a fast, hard-hitting brawl instead of the boring resthold-filled slog it actually was.

WM9? Powder? Old guy getting the belt that no-one wanted?

[MGH]

Such a perfect storm of crap. Very few people actually wanted these two to wrestle to begin with. The crowd hates the challenger. They cheer the champion a little but at some point gave up on that as well. They had to mute the mics to cover for Reigns getting shit all over live, and then when the match is mercifully over they cut the crowd mics entirely and run off to a highlight package.

To top it all off, the match was a boring slog that dragged on and on and on and ON.

Just a disaster.

Vince in the end got what he deserved

His ideas being booed out of the building

Everything about this showed why he isn't made for this company anymore, anything good was completely floored by horrible booking decisions.

It's time for Vince to go, or this company will never improve, and shit will never be done right.

NXT feels like a different god damn company at this point.

Hogan/Sid

Orton/HHH
Bam Bam/LT
Bret/Yoko/Hogan

That's 5 off the top of my head at least.

Orton/Triple H is a pretty close competition. It's a case of indifference vs. rejection, I couldn't tell you what's worse but neither are good. Miz/Cena was worse than both I think.

[Arthur Digby Stamp]

There's been others that I've enjoyed less, but overall it was just kinda boring. The only moments that stood out for me was Triple H's Warrior Skull Army Entrance w/ Dominatrix Queen Stephanie, and that spear that Steph took like a champ.

It was basically a Raw main event with production value.

[MrElijah]

Roman truly had a 50/50 crowd: half of them hated him and the other half wanted him to lose.

Terrible ending but honestly don't think the match is that bad.

Cena/Miz
Orton/HHH
Bam Bam/LT

Stated I think all three are better.

Bret/Yoko/Hogan

At least the crowd was into that and it was short.

Another Stinker from HHH

Pretty much this. Orton/HHH was a worse match AND the wrong guy won.

[Chiral]

Triple H being in a third awful Wrestlemania main event... dude isn't a quarter as good as he thinks he is. I think this was even worse than the Orton one.

[kidkamikaze10]

Funny, Triple H has been in three of the worst WM main event matches, but also the best opener.

HHH vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE title

Long match ending with Reigns using two Superman punches and then ducked a sledge hammer spot and hit a spear for the pin. They did a big celebration like you had face winner even though the crowd wasn't cheering him although they didn't boo him as bad at the finish as they did in most of the match. There was no hint of a turn at the end of the match although early in the match Reigns, with his new outfit, kind of felt heelish. It was a good match, but not great. HHH did a lot more wrestling than usual using submission moves like a Fujiwara armbar and armbar to set up a one arm power bomb spot by Reigns. At times the crowd was cheering for Sami Zayn, Nakamura and Bayley. Reigns used a spear on him through the barricade for one big spot. Stephanie was at ringside in an outfit like she was a backup singer in an 80s band. Reigns hit the spear the first time but Stephanie pulled the ref out of the ring. Stephanie got in the ring to argue with the ref. Reigns went to spear HHH, who moved and nailed Stephanie good. HHH hit the pedigree but Reigns kicked out. Stephanie sold it on the floor but handed him the sledge hammer but Reigns used the Superman punches before the ducking the sledge hammer spot and hitting the spear for the pin.

[cabbageboy]

The context of the show here was worse though. This show was already agonizingly too long, well past the 11:00 hour when these guys hit the ring. So instead of any sort of intense brawl we get a HHH snoozer of him working the friggin shoulder for 15 minutes...and it was the wrong shoulder. Reigns uses his right arm/shoulder for the spear and HHH worked the left. Cerebral assassin? Ha.

And the fans in attendance actually liked it.

[darkjourney]

Hogan was still over in '93. So him getting the title wasn't bad booking. Reigns/HHH on the other hand.. And people commenting on Hogna's age? HHH is older now than Hogan was then

[lookout]

wow..caldwell gave it 1/1/2 stars and called reigns in this role an embarrassment.
