2019 Pro Wrestling thread

Great brawl with Triple H and Batista. I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Really a shame the crowd was dead for it, but at the six-hour mark fatigue might be setting in. They might have been well-served to swap that match and Kofi-Bryan on the card.

 

Blecch.

 

Probably a good thing I don't work on Mondays. #MidnightMania

 

In honor of Angle, I’m tapping out.

 

Is it just me, or does it seem like the entrances have been dialed down a couple of notches this year? Or at least a bit lacking in production values compared to past Wrestlemanias?
For Triple H's entrance they just showed the video board instead of going fullscreen with the clip, and then they had a Teamster in a polo shirt driving the wasteland hot rod instead of a guy in costume. Having the slow-opening garage door in the LED board didn't help. Kind of ruined the surprise that might have come from it roaring through another opening.
Balor's entrance was impressive but still lacking a little something.
Some of the others were just ... normal, rather than mind-blowing and unique like we've seen in the past.
I don't know if it's a tighter budget or the way the venue is set up that they had to do it this way, but it's made this Wrestlemania feel a little generic.

 

You suck.

 

The first Undertaker-less WrestleMania since 1990? Did he miss any during the streak to injury?

 

So, was that a botched finish, or are they going to try to screw Becky out of the belts?

 

I'm wondering myself; that finish was kind of abrupt. It also seemed like a lukewarm reaction from the crowd, caused by the finish and probably the length of the entire card.

 

I think they really do need to pare down the show next year. I was lucky to be on the West Coast, where it's not too late yet, but man that main event started at midnight EDT.

 

And elsewhere in Cryme Time...

 

Wound up 2 hours behind between work and the app on my tv crashing a lot.

If that was the finish of the 3way they really shouldve gone off the air with Kofi.

That was the best moment of the night, and the best match of the night, by a mile.

Cena was second best for me, that was good shit. The rest, Id say good but not great.

The end dragged, as is tradition. Didnt need an Angle match at all if thats what it was gonna be. Certainly didnt need 45 mins of HHH.

The womens finish needed to be cleaner, better and more triumphant. It was a dud. I’m glad Becky won but if she’d won the way Kofi won this Mania would be talked about among the best of the modern era for those 2 moments alone.
