Review of WWE WrestleMania 32 (2016) by Ethan C — 18 Sep 2017

A lack of star power to be quite honest, this Wrestlemania, as most know, was plagued by injuries. Not a bad show, but a mediocre one, the Shane hell in a cell spot was pretty much the only memorable moment of the night, that and Roman Reigns reaching his peak of hatred by WWE fans (and he still hasn't recovered as of September 2017).

The ladder match, we had that last year at 31 (an event that I attended) this one was good, however, Sami Zayn should have won, because look where he is now. Spots were good, not as good as last years ladder match where Dbry won. Aj Styles Vs Chris Jericho, now, nothing to memorable from this match except AJ STYLES LOST! HUH?! Why would you do that? I mean he turned out fine, but he needed all the momentum and you wasted an opportunity. But he is AJ Styles and he recovered easily. New Day vs League of Nations, it was ok I mean the only memorable thing was the legends angle afterward but two of the people that were in the LON left the company so this match didn't really matter in the long run. Well, Sheamus and Rusev didnt have a good year after that so after the league was done they had nowhere to go. Women's triple threat, best match of the night, good back and forth action, good spots and they were all fighting to be the new Women's Champion. What more can you ask for in a wrestling match? Good performers, high stakes and at the grandest stage of them all that's perfection. Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar, look this had all the potential and when Brock likes a feud he is amazing. But he got lazy and all we got was a few kendo sticks and chair shots. It was bad, but what's most upsetting was it could've been better. Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker Hell in a Cell. Now compared to previous Hell in a Cell matches, it wasn't to good. I mean the few spots they had ( except the jumping one of course) were ok. There was a choke slam on the steps and something with an announce table and a choke hold. But those are the only extreme things about this match. There were some false finishes and some surprise submissions by Shane but not all that impressive. The only thing saving this match from being one of the more lackluster Hell in a Cell matches was when he jumped off the cell but was semi ruined by Michael Cole screaming "For the love of man kind!" Still a crazy moment, and the moment that people will mostly associate with this Wrestlemania. The main event: Triple H vs Roman Reigns oh boy. This match was just the icing on the cake. Booking decisions were all strange and it was a mediocre show. But this match took this show from decent to kinda bad. All you had to do was listen to that crowd because holy crap. The most memorable part of this match was the bump Stephanie took from Roman. But that's it, The Game vs the Big Dog, for the WWE Chanpionship at WRESTLEMANIA! And it was just ok? This should've been a classic match a mania worthy match. Trips and Roman can put on fantastic matches and we know that, so why did they have to make this match so mediocre. I'm not even going to say that anymore, it was bad. Not even going to sugarcoat it. Roman became the most hated superstar possibly ever. It's just sad, he main evented mania 33 now and he's probably main eventing against Brock again at 34. So in conclusion, a mediocre show. I know we didn't have Rollins, Cesaro, John Cena and Daniel Bryan but the show had so much more potential.
