WrestleMania 37 - Night One: Discussion Thread

Fantastic match thus far

[Deathstroke]

These two girls are hoping to have the first real 5 star women’s match in the us .

Think they just did it or came damn close!

[Hardknock]

Lol sounded like a gunshot. Damn Banks looks like she was slit open lol

[BallGameFan]

That hair whip!!! Ouch!!!! Big ole mark on sashas midsection.

That deserved to be the main event all the way!! Dead srs.

[BallGameFan]

Solid solid show minus the womens turmoil. Tomorrow will be just as good!

Inb4 all the haters.

[topcop8p7]

Great main event, better than I thought it would be. It’s just too bad WWE couldn’t build the storyline better going into it, because going into the match, I didn’t care about it at all. Fortunately, the match delivered

[BuckNakedinBama]

fuark

I was prepared to piss & moan that this was the worst WM ever and barely ppv quality at all, but the last two matches completely saved the show. The Bad Bunny tag match is an absolute testament to how good Miz & Morrison can be carrying someone, as well as how good of a job Drew Gulak and Adam Pearce did training BB. For the womens main event, my expectations were in the toilet, and Belair & Botcha Banks really surprised me.

Kinda funny - the overall crappyness of the first 3/4 of WM had basically corpsed the audience and they were all out of gas. Then we get these two stellar matches to close out the show and everyone can finally let out their pent up energy.

Absolutely blew away the last womens wrestlemania main even with Honda Charlotte and Becky

[LurkoLantern]

Forgot to mention: Bad Bunny was better at selling than like 90% of the NXT or AEW roster. Seriously, he was as natural as Ziggler.

[stayhomeneet]

What is just so strikingly obvious to me is the complete and utter lack of star power the WWE has now,

Forget 2 nights of wrestlemania over 10 hours or whatever with pre shows, they don't have enough talent on the roster to put on one 3 hour show of quality.

I find it unfathomable that they used to have Austin, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Foley, Angle and then about 20 upper midcard guys who would all be the most recognizable person in the company if they were around now, and they used to have one brand, one world title, 3 hour PPV's with no pre shows, no NXT no NXT UK, no network, no reality shows, no online exclusives, no mae young classic no total divas no anything else.

And the product was TEN TIMES BETTER.

Sweet trolling.

only watched the highlites and this looks like one of the most underwhelming Manias of all time, even with a crowd. hate to be that guy, but I don't give a dman about Sasha vs. Bianca or Bad Bunny. seems like there is nothing really to look forward to except Drew vs. Lashley but wasn't that the opener?

They were going on about "fans back after a year" and how they were going to blow the roof off the place (if it had one) and that crowd was DED (fkn srs) because they were served up drek worthy of an in your house PPV.

I saw 500 fans make more noise at the dillian Whyte boxing match 2 weeks ago.

Wrestlemania standards are so low these days.

[Nacured]

Thought McIntyre was gonna win, but going with Lashley was a good decision.
Should build towards The Almighty vs. The Beast at SummerSlam.
Heard that bugs bunny did a pretty good job as well.

For night 2, I think Orton should win and Edge should win the universal title

Lashley vs lesnar should have happened years ago but I'm still happy to see it now, if its built correctly its one of very few "event" matches they have left.

Drew is as bland as a bowl of plain oats.

[KernelBluegrass]

lol at everyone enjoying Bad Bunny. I hope Miz and Morrison got paid a chit ton extra for putting over and carrying that little twerp. Wrestling and wrestlers are supposed to be tough and PROFESSIONAL. So if some random 100lb assclown can come do your job as good as you, then YOU are terrible at your job. Dont give me this "He'S bEeN TrainInG, DERp DerP" bullchit. He still shouldn't be able to hang with GAWD DAMN 15 YEAR CAREER PROFESSIONALS! I can practice basketball for a year but I fully expect to get my ass handed to me by even the worst NBA player. It makes wrestling look phony and dumb.

Agreed, hate it when celebs go over talent.

[Deathstroke]

The only celebrity debut that outdid Badass Bunny was Ronda rousey imo

[marinevet63031]

I absolutely enjoyed "This week in WWE". Raw, Stand & Deliver nights 1 & 2, Smackdown, WM 37 night 1. I am anticipating night 2 to be good as well. They spared no expense on production.

It was all very enjoyable top to bottom all week long!!

Come on in to the 2nd night thread!! Share your thoughts during the show!

[I3igAl]

Show was much better than it looked on paper. Aside of the Tag Team turmoil I enjoyed everything. Even Bad Bunny won me over, despite me being oposed to having such a match.

I was also interesting to see all these people cut unscripted promos for a change thanks to the delay.

Srs I don't know how anyone can't appreciate bad bunny performing as he did or the Bianca/Sasha match.. It was all very entertaining. Guess smarks will smark though.

[Land Shark]

Drew vs. Lashley and Cesaro vs. Seth were both great matches. The women put on a great match too for two characters that I can’t stand

This is also how I felt. Enjoyable show despite Drew not winning.

Why are some of you surprised that BB won? Whenever Mania get a celebrity guest, they always win. As unbelievable as it is, it is about the feel good moment for casuals. Plus they added Damien to make it a bit believable.
