It's funny that their response to people being annoyed at wrestlemania being 8 hours long was to split it up into two 5 hour shows on different nights

erickman 04-02-2022 11:49 PM

wow he is taking bumps guess steve saw sting still doing it

Triple A 04-02-2022 11:50 PM

damn @ suplexing Stone Cold on the concrete floor

Sepholio 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

OMG

Jordan 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

Fucking amazing Austin just took a suplex on concrete are you kidding me, what a legend.

Evil Vito 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

Come on Austin, do a balcony dive through a table. You know you want to after you saw Sting do it!

Damian Rey 2.0 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

THIS MOTHER FUCKER AUSTIN BEEN HOLDING OUT ON US

DaveWadding 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

BAH GAWD

Sepholio 04-02-2022 11:51 PM

did not see SCSA taking bumps like that

Lock Jaw 04-02-2022 11:52 PM

Is Pat McAfee supposed to be a face... he seems way too annoying to be a face.....

Triple A 04-02-2022 11:52 PM

Love Stone Cold.....

Sepholio 04-02-2022 11:53 PM

Now this is what I want out of a beer drinking cowboy damnit!

Triple A 04-02-2022 11:54 PM

best WrestleMania in years

Damian Rey 2.0 04-02-2022 11:55 PM

This has been so much fun.

Sepholio 04-02-2022 11:55 PM

Why have we been cursed with years of Goldberg when Austin can still go as a special attraction!? >_<

Lock Jaw 04-02-2022 11:56 PM

Damn.... both women's titles are today? Damn also because I feel like I've been watching long enough and it should be almost over....

Jordan 04-02-2022 11:57 PM

I hope Austin doesn't throw up! This need to drink constantly is worrying!

Sepholio 04-02-2022 11:58 PM

LOLOL

Lock Jaw 04-02-2022 11:58 PM

Feel like having two nights they should have put the women's matches on different nights.... or at least put Becky/Bianca on after this one.... I guess Rhonda gets the top billing of course.... takes a bit away from a star making night for Bianca....

Triple A 04-02-2022 11:58 PM

hell yea

Amazing wow unreal. What a night!

AUSTIN! AUSTIN! AUSTIN!

Triple A 04-02-2022 11:59 PM

Perfect angle... massive heel heat by running down the home town... very simple and good

Damian Rey 2.0 04-02-2022 11:59 PM

That was a blast

OssMan 04-02-2022 11:59 PM

camera cut kinda ruined the chair bouncing off the rope and hitting him in the face...

erickman 04-02-2022 11:59 PM

steve played us wonder how long he trained

Fenix122 04-02-2022 11:59 PM

Really enjoyed the first night! Hope tomorrow can keep it going

Feels weird that they "did it right"... feels like they should have had Stone Cold lose just because it would make people mad and there are never any good moments in wrestling because they always just do what makes you mad and then forget about it

Nark Order 04-03-2022 12:00 AM

Austin probably didn't want this advertised as a match because he was unsure of how his performance would be but it was honestly fine. They could have just hyped this as a match.

Sepholio 04-03-2022 12:01 AM

omg once in a life time austin throws you a beer at mania and you drop it. press f for FAILURE

#1-norm-fan 04-03-2022 12:01 AM

Wait, Austin actually wrestled a full match?

Why would they not promote that? Lol

GD 04-03-2022 12:01 AM

I don’t want to see Austin wrestle ever again.

Jordan 04-03-2022 12:02 AM

Technically possibly the most Stupendous Wrestlemania of all time.

Fenix122 04-03-2022 12:03 AM

Poor Byron

GD 04-03-2022 12:04 AM

This was a fun WrestleMania

DaveWadding 04-03-2022 12:04 AM

WHO WANTS A BEER AND A STUNNER? GIMME A HELL YEAH

Jordan 04-03-2022 12:04 AM

Austin's brother went to RASSLIN.

Jordan 04-03-2022 12:04 AM

I can't imagine what they could do to top tonight.

Evil Vito 04-03-2022 12:04 AM

Kevin Owens just main-evented Wrestlemania against Stone Cold Steve Austin. In 2022.

Wrestling is still absolutely wild.

Sepholio 04-03-2022 12:05 AM

Kinda wild to think that we had Undertaker going into the HoF last night, Steve Austin wrestling his final match in front of the home crowd tonight after 19 years, and tomorrow night we could possibly have The Rock return to set up what could be his final match next year. Insane.

OssMan 04-03-2022 12:05 AM

Feels kinda "gay" that he's drinking his own craft lager instead of a shitty ass american gas station Budweiser

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:05 AM

I hope L'il Naitch turns heel and helps Charlotte win...

Evil Vito 04-03-2022 12:06 AM

Austin consumed approximately 2 full beers whilst spilling about 4 cases worth on himself. Just like old times!

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:14 AM

Damn at Charlotte trying to do Andrade's double moonsault thing and missing terribly....

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:21 AM

Michael Cole claiming no one has ever survived the Figure 8.....

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:25 AM

This women's match def not as good... was ok I guess but super sloppy with a weird finish....

xrodmuc316 04-03-2022 12:30 AM

Night 1 of Wrestlemania was great!

Charlotte Flair is the worst, why would they book her to win, like seriously??
Seth Rollins is a treasure
Cody > AEW
Miz is also a treasure
Becky & Bianca was perfect
Drew cutting the ropes was the best part of that whole match
Boogz injury seems like a work, just based on how quickly they made a diagnosis.
Did New Day get bumped to night 2, or did I just completely miss something?
K.O. can kill it in any role
Austin took some impressive bumps, and holy hell did he drink A LOT of beers :rofl:

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:33 AM

Oh, women's tag match tomorrow, so I guess they get some women.... should have left Charlotte and Ronda for tomorrow..... and Becky/Bianca should have closed tonight instead of this upcoming interview segment....

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:41 AM

So freaking bizarre ending a WM with an interview segment, even if it will turn into a brawl....

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:48 AM

Wish Austin dyed his beard... can barely see it and it looks weird...

ron the dial 04-03-2022 12:49 AM

honestly had fun with the whole night, but becky/bianca was easily match of the night, probably year so far, and is gonna be hard to top.

stone cold throwing down in a brawl was just about as surreal as seeing cody show up and win.

Triple A 04-03-2022 12:53 AM

Cody vs. Rollins was my fav match of the night! Austin thing was #2 just cause of how fun it was. Really the best WWE PPV in years...

Triple A 04-03-2022 12:54 AM

Glad they cut the New Day filler match... should just put it on the pre show tomorrow instead

Jordan 04-03-2022 12:55 AM

Becky and Bianca for MOTN and potential MOTY contender, a true classic. I absolutely loved it.

Austin and KO totally over delivered and was an hour of pure joy.

Cody and Seth was really great, brutal match very intense and it turned out really good in the end.

The Miz & Logan Paul vs The Mysterio's was also awesome and a ton of fun.

Ronda & Charlotte was also very well done just had some longer sections that dragged and pretty unsatisfying finish.

Drew and Corbin was pretty good and served it's purpose in keeping your eye on McIntyre as a perennial contender.

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 12:55 AM

Oh so now he is challenging Austin to an actual match.... so freaking weird....

James Steele 04-03-2022 12:56 AM

Cody got a bigger reaction than I thought he would. Still seems surreal. Poetic his last WM was as Stardust at WM32 in Dallas. They have to treat him like a big deal after that sorta return/debut right?

Jordan 04-03-2022 01:01 AM

Tomorrow's card is good, it could be really good but there is a lack of surprise unless they have some big surprise planned.

Triple A 04-03-2022 01:03 AM

I gotta say I'm very impressed! Good show...they actually got me pumped for tomorrow night

Triple A 04-03-2022 01:06 AM

Actually pretty interested in every match tomorrow besides the women's one and the New Day match if it happens

Juan 04-03-2022 01:18 AM

Kinda disappointed Austin didn’t give his brother the Stunner

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 01:49 AM

Becky/Bianca match and moment of the night and probably should have gone on last..... even with Austin actually wrestling.

Speaking of, so freaking weird that they announce that it is going to Steve Austin as a guest on the KO Show.... and then do the build like it is actually just going to be a fight... and then get to the event to have the KO Show and have him challenge him to an actual match instead of announcing it beforehand....

I guess maybe Austin didn't know/couldn't decide until the last minute how much he wanted to do... whether it was gonna be just give KO the stunner and that's that or if he could do more....

Lock Jaw 04-03-2022 01:49 AM

That show was entirely too long.... feeling lightheaded now...

GD 04-03-2022 01:51 AM

Only 19 pages for a WrestleMania? Fucking pathetic!

The Fraze 04-03-2022 02:08 AM

The crowd moronically counting each stomp in the corner was dumb as hell. If there's ever a time for the "WHAT?" chant, it's for Austin while he's stomping a mudhole and walking it dry.

Un-fricking-believable

GD 04-03-2022 02:15 AM

They had Charlotte Flair end Asuka's streak and pin Rousey with a running boot at WrestleMania. I am not sure how to feel about it.

The Fraze 04-03-2022 02:20 AM

The ending was weird but Charlotte vs. Ronda was good and stiff as hell. It would have felt a lot better if the build was better and the crowd actually cared.

It was a bit sloppy at times but Rousey worked her behind off.

Triple A 04-03-2022 02:42 AM

Bryan Alvarez says that he heard from someone who knows Ronda Rousey that Rousey DID "walk out" on Friday and wasn't at the HOF but "cooler heads prevailed"... Says she was "furious" when she found out that her match wasn't going on last...

Quote:

Ronda thought that she was going on last. She wasn't. When she found out, she was furious, I was told. One person who knows her, so I presume that this is true, said that she was so mad yesterday, Friday, that she just walked out. She wasn't at the Hall of Fame. But cooler heads prevailed, I guess, and she showed up today. But she was angry that they did not go on last.

Feels like the sloppiness works when the girls work stiff and it's more of a brawl. I thought it was ok. Maybe because I'm a Charlotte mark and her tits popped out...again.

rez 04-03-2022 03:13 AM

I was always under the impression that Austin/KO was a match so the interview made me go, wtf. Who books months for an interview?

rez 04-03-2022 03:15 AM

Wrestlemania always delivers...but for how long? Summerslam and Royal Rumble aren't these days.

rez 04-03-2022 03:18 AM

Bash at the Beach and Halloween Havoc. I just want those PPVs used again. Let's go Cody

When Austin hit that suplex on Owens on the stage and popped right back up. You love to see it

Corporate CockSnogger 04-03-2022 05:58 AM

Damn just saw Cody’s entrance. Looked like a megastar, big loss for AEW. Probably the biggest blow WWE could land on AEW to be fair.

Ben Rodrigues 04-03-2022 06:41 AM

Side note: WWE needs to stop editing themes when wrestlers win. I get DX with the long intro, but when Steve Austin won editing out the initial glass break. They do they same with The Rock - editing out the "If Ya Smell".

Mr. Nerfect 04-03-2022 07:18 AM

I think they knew exactly what they were doing with Austin/Owens. It was supposed to under-promise. They overdrlivered. If there’s a next time it will be more obvious what they are doing.

XL 04-03-2022 08:29 AM

I didn’t catch the whole show as I was watching it in bed. Woke up in time for Cody/Seth. Pretty perfect.

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-03-2022 08:52 AM

have only watched Austin-Owens. Was fun. Honestly as good as (if not better than) a 1999 Austin match when he was super hurt and was just doing walk and brawls. At least Owens could bump for him. Happy he got to have his proper retirement moment.

Fignuts 04-03-2022 09:02 AM

So according to Bryan Alvarez, Ronda walked out on friday, when she found out she wasnt main eventing over Steve fucking Austin in fucking Dallas Texas.

I had hoped upon her return that perhaps time away to reflect, and becoming a mother would strengthen her mental countenance. But she still has the emotional sensitivity of a small child, and she does not belong in this business.

Ronda doesn't "understand" how the business works. She is good for marketing and is a star in her own right. But she never would have main evented the show if the show was anywhere in the world, especially since it was an Austin segment. But knowing that it was Austin's retirement match, WWE would have been CRUCIFIED if they put Austin's match on before Rousey's.

Bad News Gertner 04-03-2022 09:10 AM

Wow! 12/10 show.

That's how the Big Leagues do it AEW!

#1-norm-fan 04-03-2022 10:06 AM

Cody was a midcarder with a silly gimmick last time he was in WWE and then spent a few years in a totally irrelevant company with a bad booker and all of a sudden he’s a star. Weird.

No you've got it wrong. One night in WWE made him a star. Not any of the previous groundwork that was laid. Definitely not.

AEW feels irrelevant as fuck right now. This was the right thing to do with Cody. Think about what Tony Khan would want. He’d be hoping for a mid-carded to show up and eat humble pie. By making the presentation work on the big stage, Tony now has no leverage with anyone except the most discontented.

They were always bigger and were going to be due to the mark presentation of AEW, but by playing it bigger AND better, AEW are left holding their dick. Brilliant.

Mr. Nerfect 04-03-2022 11:47 AM

Don’t even buy the Ronda stuff. Maybe it turns out it’s true, but I’m just going to enjoy the ride with her and not let the out of touch dudes without contacts there anymore affect my interpretation. Love the idea of Charlotte beating her with a boot.

Charlotte needs something else besides just a lot of championships. It’s the quality of the reigns. That I can think of at least four people Charlotte has beaten at WrestleMania off the top of my head is…something. I think she might be the only other person besides Triple H to knock back multiple Royal Rumble winners too. It helps *her* feel like a big star, not just the title reigns.

And Ronda is more interesting losing too. She’s now got somewhere to go and something to climb. Shaking off the rust when she’s already champ is whatever it is. Now she can get into it with Natalya, Shayna or even Becky over on Raw and it’s interesting because she is in it.
