All credit to the bunny man, he put the work in and went above and beyond what was required of him. Yep. And I'll hold my hands up and admit that I was NOT looking forward to this match (particularly with all the bunnies coming down the ramp) BUT the guy put on a very good performance and the match was a fun watch that I would actually watch again, so, well done Bunny.

I ain't mad at you for that. Really glad you had a great time. I got to see ECW in 2000, Raw the night the Invasion started, Rumble 2000, a bunch of NXT house shows, and some incredible ROH shows (Bryan/Morishima, Age of the Fall winning the titles, Homicide beating Bryan) but seeing a Mania live is on my bucket list. My 2nd straight Mania I think no matter how jaded a fan is, they should go to Mania once. Thatβs just wrestling fans having fun 1. Money 2. Time If I ever get the opportunity I'd LOVE to go one year P.S. Made up you got to go and glad you seemed to have a good/great time and your boy Damien Priest got a win at his Mania debut

Well, now I've finally caught up I can give my thoughts on the overall show now
- Improv they had to do due to rain delay - 2 thumbs up - Lashley vs. McIntyre - 2 thumbs up - Billie/Carmella vs. Lana/Naomi - 1 thumb down - Riott/Morgan vs. Billie/Carmella - Meh - Riott/Morgan vs. Rose/Brooke - 1 thumb down - Riott/Morgan vs. Natalya/Tamina - 2 thumbs down - Cesaro vs. Rollins - 3 thumbs up - Styles/Omos vs. New Day - 1 thumb up - Strowman vs. Shane - 1 thumb up - Bad Bunny/Priest vs. Miz/Morrison - 2 thumbs up - Banks vs. Belair - 3 thumbs up - If I HAD to nitpicky about it is that Sasha is now 0-6 at Mania which is kinda of a bummer but MEGA congrats to Bianca who killed it and showed why she's so highly thought of as a performer - Rose falling on her bum - 1 thumb up for hilarity - Crowds being back - 2 thumbs up - Wrestlers, Vince coming out at start of show - 2 thumbs up - Singer - 1 thumb up - Bayley segments - 1 thumb up - JBL, Lawler and Rosenberg on the pre-show panel - 2 thumbs down - Lawler doing commentary for some reason for Strowman/Shane match - 2 thumbs down
Overall, I'll give Night 1 a 9 out of 10. With the exception of the gauntlet match I recommend watching the matches. Also special shout-out to Bad Bunny for winning me over as I wasn't looking forward to that tag match but he performed really well. Also really pleased that one of my boys, AJ Styles is now a grand slam champion.

1. Money 2. Time If I ever get the opportunity I'd LOVE to go one year P.S. Made up you got to go and glad you seemed to have a good/great time and your boy Damien Priest got a win at his Mania debut It runs you a little pretty penny. My tickets cost me like $1100 Tickets alone don't seem to be TOO bad considering, it's the flights over and back, getting a passport (I've never ever had a passport cos I've never been abroad lol), obviously accommodations for my stay in the US and I'd obviously want to buy some merchandise, programming, food/drink and what not during the show. All of which would end up costing a bit LOL. And that's assuming I was on my lonesome

My headcanon is they taped a whole Wrestlemania taking place backstage and would have segued into that if the conditions worsened.

Merch isnβt cheap. Just a regular Tee going run you $40 but itβs def something you should look into when you get the time and funds to do so

Gus Richlen Was WrongWith all due respect to you, your opinions seem to go against what the rest of the board likes, more often than not. I would just like to ask, how would you have booked the show tonight? Without changing the card itself, what would have made this a great show, in your opinion? Not booking McIntyre to look like an idiot, having Tag Team Turmoil not be booked like it was the 2007 divas on Smackdown, and if I can't change the card then there's nothing I can do about the main event. Fair enough. I think we all agree that the tag team turmoil match was crap. I genuinely think Lashley winning was an audible, because Drew winning should have been the result, the way they talked up Drew missing his moment in front of the fans. But Lashley was over with the crowd. I don't think anyone gets why you dislike Bianca, but I understand the complaints about Sasha's character and booking. I actually thought the match was great, but to each their own.

Thatβs just wrestling fans having fun I've been to 2 WM's. 29 and 35. 35 was a lot of fun, because after that, we did MITB and Takeover 25. Funds are a huge role in that, but, I also like the feeling of being among friends and family.

Random Note: In the Fan Council Survey for Wrestlemania, they officially call it the Bunny Destroyer.
Was curious if that was going to stick or it was just what commentary was rolling with at the moment.
