God damn that was special. Longest sustained ovation since Hogan in Montreal. Amazing

 

This free-flowing acceptance speech is AMAZING.

 

It may have put Hillbilly Jim to shame with its length, but that was absolutely wonderful.

I know it's easy to miss things, but I was a little sad to not see any mention of Mick Foley -- especially when he singled out Kane, Triple H and HBK.

 

“Never … say never!”

Hmmmm!!

Seriously, that was incredible. The standing ovation was unreal, and the 40+ minutes that he spoke felt like 4.

Yeah, he didn’t mention Foley. He mentioned people that were there, old legends, and people who’ve passed. Maybe he couldn’t figure out a way to get Foley in there?

 

Oh shit. Never say never?

Is it going to be him against Seth?

 

Over/Under on number of matches before he gets hurt again is 4.

 

I've assumed that they'll work him into the Stone Cold/Owens segment, especially if it's the main event as has been mentioned. I could see them bringing out Austin, along with some other Texas legends (JBL, Booker T, hell maybe even Terry Funk if he's not busy) and they all hit their finishers on him and leave to an ovation. As Owens comes to, the lights go out and the gong hits for one last time ...

 

Quality trolling by WWE and Peacock playing the Seth Rollins match promo right after Undertaker walks off after saying, “Never say never.”

 

I can see that, as Owens has mentioned them all. But I doubt Funk would show as, sadly, he’s in a nursing home now.

 

One thing that leads to belief on Taker is the haircut…..how often does he get the mo hawk buzz and not work? He didnt have that look in the Last Ride interviews…..

Anyway it totally blows my mind that this is “KO Mania 6” It feels like 5 minutes ago he put out the KO Mania 2 t-shirt. Happy Wrestlemania fellas enjoy it

 

That ladder match for the North American title was pretty good. Some solid bumps.

 

It had to come at some point, but if Ciampa had to bid farewell and do the job for someone, I wish it was for someone better than D'Angelo.

Waller would've been great if he wasn't in the ladder match. The same guy taking out Gargano and Ciampa would've been great heel stuff.
