Just rewatched the finish of the Main Event on WWE's YouTube page. Samantha Irvin's announcement had me immediately tearing up. I couldn't hear it properly at a crowded bar.
She is awesome and this was awesome.

I don't mean to be snobby, but the difference between the scale of WrestleMania as an event, and the outlets that show up at these press conferences is enormous. I haven't watched the press conference yet (just finished the show unspoiled on a two hour delay) but in terms of the outlets' clothing were there almost no suits, barely any collared shirts and mostly people in merch and stained t-shirts again?

She is awesome and this was awesome. This is just me coming in to happily say "F*** Kevin Dunn and I'm very happy he's gone" again lol

The vibes between the end of WM40 night two versus WM39 night two are stark.

I want to go back in time and inform 2017 ROH fans that Punishment Martinez would one day win the World title at WrestleMania. As someone who was in Hopkins, Minnesota that year watching Punishment Martinez and a pre-Switchblade Jay White completely win over a crowd - I had a feeling then that both were going to go on to do absolutely huge things. So proud of him. I don't know if anyone else has seen QT Marshall's mid-2010s documentary 'The Wrestler' about his last attempt at trying to get to WWE, but a pre-ROH Martinez/Priest is in it and comes off as the most likable dude in the film. You just want the cameras to start following him and root for him.

The vibes between the end of WM40 night two versus WM39 night two are stark. Yeah, WWE got it the right way round this year lol. The last what? 2 or 3 Manias? The first night was better than the second night but this year the second night was better than the first one (and the first wasn't even that bad lol). But yeah, the vibes definitely seem a lot chiller and happier this year.

Yep. Although, tbf, I think Night 2 of WM 39 was nowhere near as good as Night 1 so that probably didn't help either. Along with what you've mentioned

I can't stand that mark in the ref shirt who's at every f***ing show. He's on the same tier as Brock Lesnar Guy. Just go away.

I used to be as active as anybody on this board, but I started losing interest about 8 years ago and have been a completely lapsed fan for about 7 years, only keeping up with what is going on through lurking this board. I have been watching highlights of WM since there has been so much hype on mainstream media this year, and my god, it is night and day how much more like a real sporting event it feels now that Kevin Dunn and VKM are gone. I am very interested in getting back it now. It feels like things are going the right way now.

Now that we've established that every 10th WrestleMania ends with a big babyface win, wonder who'll get the nod for WM50 in about ten years time?

Out of all the sponsors for the show Dude Wipes were shown the most. Jimmy vs Jey, Duirng Bayley vs Iyo, & during Roman vs Cody. I laughed the whole Bayley & Iyo match due to the Dude Wipes showing up on the Ring Poles throughout both matches.

Doing the math this show had about 3:41:55 worth of ring time across the two nights. Comparing it to Mania 38 as the last distinctly Vince show that one had 3:21:45, so decently notable rise in the amount of wrestling despite having 14 matches compared to 38 having 16.

Watched the opening match live last night and at 6:30am my time I woke up and watched the main event. I said I hoped that Michael Cole would get the call of the win right and I think he exceeded even my expectations.
Samantha Irvin I think was speaking for many of us, or struggling to speak for us if you will.
Wonderful ending and Cody getting the Wrestlemania X ending. I loved that orton was out there at the end.
Yeah of the two matches Iβve seen it looked more lively. Yeah good stuff WWE, and in closing, f*** you Kevin Dunn wherever you are, and I hope youβre seeing how things should be done.

Caught night one, only had a chance to catch results for night two so far. I am absolutely stunned that Triple H of all people booked so many babyface wins over the weekend.
It truly is a new era.

I think my only real problem with the main is that it wasnβt crazy enough.
Like, there should have been hooded figures beating up Cody when it looked like he was winning, Kevin Owens coming back in the cart towing down most of the people Roman beat across the reign who are still there, they take out the guys and brawl all over the arena. Then you do Jimmy/Jey/Solo/Cena/Rock/Austin (just pay the dude if money was an issue, goddamn)/Seth, where he sacrifices himself to get Cody the win. Make it a big Endgame style spectacle to suit the end of the reign, utter nonsense.
