 So, they had the opportunity to get Norman Smiley and Fandango on Mania doing The Big Wiggle and passed? I don't even understand. |

Having slept on it, with there being only one match on the card last night that I personally cared about, which was unceremoniously short compared to the standard we've recently grown accustomed to (like, we've definitely seen better and lengthier Diva matches on Raw these past few weeks), and sloppy thanks to AJ; last night was probably my least favorite WrestleMania ever.

Even AJ's hardcore Diva-Dirt stans are suggesting she spend a little time down at NXT to work off her ring rust.  |

How did I miss this last night?  I already mentioned the RKO, but some of my other favourite spots of the night: |

Just watched the pre-show. I don't even know what was going on with Fandango's pants, but you guys didn't tell me Nattie did this:  She wasn't supposed to triumph like that with her outfit. Honestly. |

WrestleMania 31 was so close to perfect for me. I obviously disagree with a few results, but I loved every single match.

J & J Security are the most useless henchmen since Be-Bop and Rocksteady. They just killed Donatello in the latest issue of TMNT, so this is a huge compliment. Be-Bop and Rocksteady, not J&J Security, that would be silly. |

Okay y'all, I haven't watched Raw yet cause I wanted fresh thoughts from Mania first. Holy fucking shit. That was amazing. Like, amazing. I'm never going to wrestling again because that can't be topped. Not only did I have great seats, but that was probably one of the best Mania's I've ever seen. I have zero negatives to say about it aside from being a bit pissed Triple H didn't put Sting over in his WWE debut. I'm just gonna start from the beginning. So we first get there, and I have been paranoid this whole time cause we bought $1500 seats on StubHub for $600 so I thought something had to be up and they were fake or something. So the lady scans our tickets, the light flashes blue instead of green, and she calls a guy in a suit over. He tells us to follow him and I'm just like fuck until he tells us that WWE closed our section for the camera crew so we were getting upgrades. He then took us to our seats, 6 rows behind the announcers, for Wrestle-fucking-Mania. So at this point I'm already screaming. Then, who sits in front of me? Maria Menounos  Vernon Davis and Michelle Beadle were next to her too. So yeah, this day was already going great. Then the show was just grade A fantastic. So the first match was the tag match, and of course I booed the shit out of everyone except Tyson and Cesaro, but I started rooting for Jimmy when Naomi became his partner. He should like, kill Jey. He'd be a much better solo act. The biggest thing about this match for me was how damn hot Tyson Kidd is in person. Like, maybe it's just cause he was first out the gate, but damn. There was a part after that big superplex spot when flipped and landed face down and was selling by twitching/humping/thrusting into the ring and I was just like... ..hello TJ. I was very happy they won. Nattie, Naomi and Torito were fun during this match too. Nattie's outfit was great. During the Battle Royal, I was the only person going for Miz. It was me & Miz vs Mizdow & 76,000 strong. I was as outraged as Miz when he was betrayed by that ungrateful miscreant, so I started cheering for Big Show and got the last laugh. And don't worry Burke, I was there for our boy Bo too, and even started a small chant for Hideo. You're welcome MC. A bigger one started after mine died down tho.. dicks. I don't think anyone really noticed he was in when I started mine. I was bummed Mania kinda just started and didn't have any opening pyros or the flyover jets after America the Beautiful, but it was probably because some idiot decided to build a football stadium right next to an airport and planes were flying over us very low every 5 minutes, loud as shit too. The ladder match was great cause I could watch almost all of it without having to stand up to see everything. OMG, Cody's outfit. I died. Btw, Stardust is like, insanely over. Everyone in my section loved him, and his cosmic ladder got one of the biggest laugh pops of the night (if you ignore Rocky). So good on Cody. I really hope he can go back to normal one day but shit if it's working keep with it. He looked like a Final Fantasy villain. Dolph looked like Chyna with that hair, but it was cute for him. He's so gay, I love it. Ambrose is awesome and easily in my top 5 right now. The match felt really short to me and I wasn't happy Bryan won, but I still chanted Yes because it's just too much damn fun. My arm is so sore from holding that 20lb belt up all night tho it's no wonder Bryan got injured last year yessing with two belts. Also, Barrett is super shredded, and shallow moment of this match, he and Cody have amazing asses.  Randy vs Seth was cool. That ending tho, holy crap that was awesome. I knew even more once Seth lost he was going home as champion. Sting vs Triple H was amazing. I couldn't believe it went on so early. They were setting up the stage and I was like who the fuck has an Asian theme? That was a cool little entrance for Sting, just completely out of character. But holy shit. Triple H. Damn. That entrance was amazing. Of course he had to show up Sting. I watched it again later on the Network and it seemed cheesy close up, but live it was unbelievably awesome. It almost made me want him to win right then and there. But what kind of asshole would Triple H be if he didn't let Sting win his first and possibly only match in WWE ever? As soon as DX came out I thought of the Wrestling Isn't Wrestling video and was just like, damn, he really is everything that guy said. An insecure, cheating, loser who sees himself as a barbaric warrior. Once Sting took out DX I figured Nash would come out cause he was there for the Hall of Fame and he could help his buddy, but I wasn't expecting THAT. When the music hit I was like, yep, here comes Nash. Wait is that Hogan? Holy crap it's the nWo. Wait a minute, DX is in the ring. Holy fucking shit, it's DX vs the nWo !!!!! Granted, all of them except Billy are old, fat and out of shape to hell, but still. Better late than never. And Hogan finally took a bump instead of just promoting the damn WWE Network. Which btw, is only $9.99 a month. Shawn I didn't see at all until after the superkick. How do people sneak past the fans like that? idgi. I was so mad Sting lost tho, and the handshake made no sense to me. Why would Sting shake his hand? He just cheated like crazy and spit on his WCW legacy. Whatever. How great would it have been if Goldberg had come out and Speared Triple H to hell giving Sting the win. We get it WWE, you won the Monday Night Wars, but damn, you let ECW get a little retribution. Why can't WCW win one little battle? I usually hate the musical performances during shows, but after that match this was a godsend. I needed the break. I wouldn't have minded them going another song tbh cause I was already losing my voice during the pre-show and I really needed to rest up. The girls match was great. Probably one of the better diva matches we've had at Mania in years, and all the girls were over. The girl behind me only came to see the Bellas cause she became a fan through Total Divas and was screaming during their entrance. AJ is so tiny in person. Like, I knew she was small, but she is literally the size of a damn munchkin. I was distracted by Brie on the apron for most of this match. I know people say Nikki has the ass but I was looking at Brie like damn girl, you got one too.  Not the best picture to represent that but still. I was cheering all of them so I was happy with the result either way. Paige hugging her mom at ringside after the match while crying was really cute so I was happy she won. AJ coulda gave her the pin tho. These jackasses in CM Punk shirts tried starting a chant and everyone told the to shut the fuck up while I slipped my jacket on over my shirt. I was really shocked and happy the girls got a long midcard match instead of the usualy pre-main event spot they usually get shoved in to "kill the crowd." Maybe the divas really are starting to get some more respect again finally. And yay, Diva Search. One of the biggest shockers of the night. As soon as I seen Ashley and heard "The search is on" I thought "whelp, B has a boner right now."
Okay, Rusev vs Cena.. Burke, I owe you an apology. All this time, you've been trying to open my eyes to the greatness of this person, and I've fought it cause I thought they were phony as hell, and they annoyed me, but the patriotism finally won me over. Lana slays, tbh. That entrance was great. And holy shit, Rusev came out on a fucking TANK. I felt like getting on my chair and saluting like the guy in front of me did. I think you're right about me automatically liking anyone who goes against Cena. I was ready to get dual citizenship. I didn't give two shits about this match tho and was checking Facebook the whole time, but I always jumped in on the Let's Go Lana chants. I also yelled at her that her name backwards isn't very PG, cause I'm classy like that, y'know? Of course she's leaving now that I finally like her tho. Smh.
Triple H and Stephanie are really funny someti.... HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S THE ROCK!!! My checklist of people to see is finally complete. I seen Stephanie and The Rock at the same time for the first time ever. It was amazing. When Triple H first walked down the ramp everyone was like, great, here comes a 20 minute promo to kill time so the sun can go down for Undertaker. Then the Rock came out and everyone wanted a 40 minute promo lol. He got the biggest pop of the night just standing there. For like 5 minutes. I thought Stephanie was gonna get a Rock Bottom when she was getting too close, but Ronda Rousey was great. This is when I knew Burke was getting his boner. Tbh, I felt like we were all just fucking around chanting for her cause they had just shown us she was there, but then it actually happened and it was great. I really wish she would've knocked Steph out tho. Steph keeps getting off light. She has to get her ass kicked at some point. It needs to happen. Where's Stone Cold when you need him? And damn Rock, those were some tight ass pants.
Undertaker looked really good. A hell of a lot healthier than last year. He actually seems like he can go a couple more Manias tbh. Bray's entrance with the scarecrows was awesome and really creepy. This match was all about the entrances and they delivered, sunlight or no sunlight.
The main event made me happy. So very very happy. Not only did Roman not win, but he got his ass handed to him just like Cena at Summer Slam and I loved every bit of it. When Seth came out early I'm not gonna lie, I was scared. I thought Roman was gonna pin him as a way to keep Brock looking strong. Thank god he won. It was the cherry on top of my night. My only hope is he hasn't already lost the belt on Raw as I type this, lol.
But yeah, in conclusion, amazing night, amazing show, amazing WrestleMania. The best in a long damn time. There were very little slow parts and I was happy with every decision except Sting losing. Like I said, I don't think I can ever go to a wrestling show again, cause nothing will ever top that shy of another WrestleMania with even better seats. |

Remember during the Cena/Michaels WM main event when a fan ran in the ring at the beginning and was escorted out by referees. I want to see a repeat of that with Jayzero right now. tbh, this actually crossed my mind. But then I remembered Brock Lesnar is an MMA fighter and probably would've punched my head clean off my shoulders. |

Lana slays, tbh.  Getting B on board has been proving more difficult than I imagined though... I'm glad you had a good time! |

So disappointed in you right now. He was clearly Mr. Sinister. I'd expect something like that from Burke.

Maria Menounos would have taken your ass down before you even got to JBL. Oh and excuse you for not even mentioning the great Fandango. You were blessed by his presence and can't form words to describe it, I assume. |
