    But he should be making other wrestlers look good, not celebrities.

    They trying to set a record for number of frog splashes in one match?

    That emotion at the end and those camera shots on Sami ... total brilliance.

    KO and El Generico just made it to the top of the ladder.

    Great storytelling but not the greatest match overall but ended pretty much how we thought it would.

    The great thing about him is that if they really needed to, they could heat him back up as a serious contender with very little effort. He’s that good with his character.

    The storytelling is what sells this. The great match overall with very little storytelling was Rhea/Charlotte.

    Fun match and the right team won. Great show overall.

    This was the first Wrestlemania since the first one to have a tag team match as the main event.

    Is it crazy to say that Logan Paul is the best celebrity wrestler ever?
    His whole persona is douche-riffic, but damn if he doesn't look like he belongs when he gets in the ring.

    Listening to the WM press conference, they're really pushing the envelope on modern kayfabe with this Mysterio vs. Mysterio angle. The questions to Rhea, and now to Rey would make the "It's still real to me, dammit!" guy cringe.

    I don’t know. Bad Bunny and McAfee were both pretty dang good too. McAfee may not count any more since he was announcing for a while, but when he was working in NXT vs. Cole, he was stellar. It feels like the last few years instead of throwing random celebrity into a match and teaching them a few basics to get by, they’ve found people who really want to learn some wrestling and put on a good show.

    It could also be I can’t bring myself to day Logan Paul is the best. Can’t stand him. And that was way before WWE.
