WrestleMania (2018 TV Special)
2/10
Very disappointing...
7 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Wrestlemania 34 will go down as one of the most bizarre wrestling events ever. The card was incredible (probably the best card of all time), but the event didn't meet expectations. The first match (triple threat for the IC title) was the best match; after that it started falling apart. There were way too many things ruining the show...
  • Jinder Mahal becoming US champion, only to lose the title to Jeff Hardy two weeks later (Rusev was the most popular guy involved in the match, but the WWE hates the idea of giving the fans what they want).
  • The Undertaker returning to the ring for a squash match against Cena (2:46 seconds). What was the point of all this? Didn't Taker retire at Wrestlemania 33? What was the point of him leaving his coat / hat in the middle of the ring the year before?
  • Braun Strowman making a joke of the whole tag team division (specially The Bar, The Revival and Gallows&Anderson, who weren't even book for the show), after chosing a 10 year old to be his tag team partner. Probably one of the most stupid things I've seen.
  • Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar in the worst Wrestlemania main event EVER (fans chanting "this is awful" the whole time).


In sum: this was the Wrestlemania where nothing made sense, where they decided to insult the intelligence of the fans and where they proved to the world they are at least a decade behind the times. The level of stupidity and laziness was so high that not a single chair / ladder / table was used in any match; not a single backstage moment / interview took place. On top of all that, it lasted 7 hours (2 hours on the pre-show + 5 of the main show), which made it very hard for the European audience to watch live.
