WWE pay per views over the past few years have had the habit of being hugely mixed bags. They tend to be a royal crapfest with sprinklings of decency and Wrestlemania 34 was the same thing.
I usually break these things down but its 5am and the main event was so bad it's given me a migraine so I'll merely summarise.
Quality of wrestling, below par. And considering it included the in ring return of Daniel Bryan and a match between AJ & Nakamura that's pretty astounding.
Outcomes? A combination of logical, to stupid to mind blowingly moronic.
So what came out of the ppv that was actually good? Well Ronda Rousey proved her critics wrong and actually delivered a really good performance! The main event though dire had a very unexpected outcome that put a smile on my face and the whole thing wasn't as predictible as expected.
Regardless this was Wrestlemania, the showcase of the immortals and had absolutely no excuse for being quite as much of a mess as it was.
The Good:
Ronda Rousey
Unpredictible (For a change)
The Bad:
Bray Wyatts anti-climatic return
Cruiserweight finale embarassment
Constant John Cena reactions
Adverts during matches
Record number of announcer botches
Some of the booking decisions were bizzare and highly illogical
3D graphics were dumb
Pointless Elias section
Kid Rock couldn't even be bothered to show up
Brauns partner, really!?
Things I Learnt From This PPV:
When you do a tournament for a title and it culminates at the biggest show of the year and nobody cares about it.........you know you have problem
Saying that two wrestlers know one another intimately is maybe a bad call
Booker T saying Cedric Alexander may be the most talented person in the locker room is the dumbest thing he's said yet, and he talks a lot of crap
Future of music, really?!?!
If you want to know the state of the WWE just remember Kid Rock is in the WWE Hall Of Fame and THE Rock isn't
Shane needs to stop wrestling, he's an embarassment
I can't be the only one who wanted Braun Strowman to turn on his partner, right?
