I dunno boys, Mania isn’t hitting for me. Priest winning was a wet fart for the pals and I. Hopefully this main event sticks the landing.

Sad the Iyo era is over, but awesome match regardless.

Yeah, very bland and predictable at almost every match. Only real surprise so far was zayn beating Gunther. They better have a ton of surprises and appearances in Main event. I also think partially that philly is a very blah crowd too

They're kissing the Eagles' ass a little too much for my liking. I say that not just because I don't give a crap about sports, but because you know probably 90% of that crowd is not from Philadelphia, hell a large chunk aren't even from the US, so they probably don't care either.

As far as the in-ring part of the show itself, I've not been disappointed at all.

Great match, satisfied with the outcome. Hopefully he makes a better champion than his old man (Dusty was one of those guys that was always better at chasing the title imo). I wish Dustin was one of the people he called out to celebrate in the ring. ZThe only thing that could have made this victory even sweeter is if it happened in MSG, but there's always title run #2.

I liked the Cody/Reigns WM39 match more (Taker showing up was forced as hell, at least Cena has history with the Bloodline) but can't debate that ending being top notch. Never been a guy who deserves the WWE title more than Cody Rhodes. I fudging love that dude, from the first time I realized the Zelda Trifroce on his boots. Give that man his flowers.

Damn good Night 2. Drew and Seth was real good but probably too many finishing moves. Money in the Bank was done perfectly. Street Profits and Final Testament was decent but we all knew the outcome. Paul and KO and Randy was pretty good too but it fell into the same trap most triple threats do. LA Knight and AJ Styles was really good. Bayley and Iyo started slow and got real good at the end. Cody and Roman was overbooked AF but it was great drama and theater. We’ll see where it goes.

Looking over my predictions, I'm disappointed in myself for thinking anyone but Logan was winning that triple threat match. SummerSlam is in Cleveland this year, if he's going to drop the title, that's where it'll happen. Duh. He's going into it like he's the hometown hero, but he drops the title and that's what sends the crowd home happy because even they can't stand him.

It's possible that I missed it, but is this the first WrestleMania in a long time where they didn't announce the city that will be hosting next year's event?

BucketofJustice

You’re right. They didn’t announce next years location. I’m sure it’ll come out before too long so they have the time to move tickets.

Besides the winner of the Smackdown tag titles, it's funny that the only prediction I got wrong was the Usos match. I'm probably the only one who picked Jimmy. (I was thinking it would be like the Hardy Boys feud.)

Missed some of the bonus questions, of course, including Priest cashing in.

Looks like I won! What do I win?

I wish stone cold would have come out but heard undertaker was his replacement due to SSSA or his wife being sick.

I thought there would be waaay more interference esp. early one with the way the rock kept about bloodline rules being anyone or anything goes.

Glad Cody won tho. I wonder who he will defend his title against now?

Also I hated Drew lost the title in that cash in.

That's what you get for not putting me in the Rumble, sir! Lol...but yeah, I think I've won once or twice before in your prediction games.
