  1. First WrestleMania watched? It was probably 15, but I vividly remember the first since getting Sky was 16 and taping it to watch before school, and then being absolutely livid because the tape ran out just as the main event started. At the time I didn’t know Raw was shown on Mondays and thought Friday was the first UK showing, so waiting a full school week to find out what happened was excruciating. Absolutely no idea how I managed to avoid spoilers considering everyone and their mam watched wrestling back then. Favourite WrestleMania? Unsurprisingly, it’s 17, but for the sake of the conversation one of my favourites is 24. There’s something about the overall setting that I just absolutely loved, I think it being outdoors just gave it such a fresh feel that made it more enjoyable. I don’t think there’s a particularly stand out match, but also nothing I would consider outright bad. Aside from 17, it’s easily the one I go back to the most. Have you ever been to WrestleMania? I went to 32 in Dallas, the one where virtually everybody missed it due to injury so you ended up with completely bonkers matches such as Undertaker vs Shane. I know it’s not known as a good Wrestlemania, but I had a whale of a time to be honest and I’ve not watched it back on the Network at the risk of ruining it a bit. Plus, the NXT Takeover a few nights beforehand is the best they’ve ever done. I had tickets to 33 in Florida but didn’t end up going because money was too tight, and I think I ended up giving away my tickets to somebody on here because selling them was too complicated. Best/Worst WrestleMania matches. The best is easily Bret vs Austin. Nothing comes close. Shout outs to Rock vs Austin and TLC both from 17 too. There have been some right stinkers but the one that sticks in my memory the most is Undertaker vs Roman from a few years back. Absolute dud. Best/Worst WrestleMania moments. Bryan at 30, the end of Bret vs Austin, Edge’s spear from the ladder at 17 to name a few. Brock ending the streak was mental - I’d gone for a shit during the match because I wasn’t interested in such an obvious result and only came back into the room about a minute before it ended luckily. Also, an honourable mention goes to Linda McMahon standing up from the wheelchair. Say what you want about Austin’s pop when Foley won the title, but *this* is the biggest pop of all time. Worst Wrestlemania moment? Take your pick from the last 6 or 7 years. There have been far too many unfortunately. Undertaker/Roman, Brock/Roman, HHH/Roman, Roman/Cody. Poor Roman. Favourite WrestleMania theme and/or intro? 17 obviously. Peter Gabriel at 22 too. Favourite WrestleMania announcer call? ("The boyhood dream has come true" etc etc) The one that always sticks out to me is “it’s Vince McMahon’s saddest day!” from JR when Austin wins the title at 15. Not sure I’d necessarily say it’s the best, but certainly the one that I feel the most nostalgic about. Fuck it, I’m on the weekend shift alone in work, I’m sticking on 17.
  2. Not that it affected Garbisi making the kick, but France attempted to charge down that penalty twice. The clock should have been reset and he should have been given another go. I’d have been throwing hands if I were him in that moment.
  3. I don’t dislike Rollins half as much as some on here do, but him in that Grayson Waller segment was hands down one of the most embarrassing performances I’ve ever seen in wrestling. It’s almost impressive that Austin Theory wasn’t the worst thing about a segment.
