re: Official Wrestlemania XXX Thread - 6:00pm CST

Bourbon. In the back with justin labar. In the custom yellow shirt

He was taken by ambulance from the back of the stage when he left. Concussion symptoms.

Just got to our hotel, was it me or was the crowd dead pretty much?

Taker losing was a bigger shock than hogan joining the NWO,


Cesaro is a beast

Crowd got dead after Taker lost. I definitely lost interest afterward

It was.....the crowd was REALLY bad. It must have been because they partied early and started sobering up halfway thru the event.

I wound up getting free seats at 5pm.

Drove in, got a Crown double and took it all in. I've never seen the dome set up like that. That stage was amazing. They had to spend more than a million on that stage, and the lighting and all. It was nuts.

I was a in at the death WCW fan. From NWO to the buyout is the only real period that I watched it. I watched WWF as a kids but never got into RAW. I would always watch Nitro.
Heck, I even rocked the Wolfpack NWO shirt today.

So I was very behind on the wrestlers. The only ones I knew of where The Big Show, Golddust, Bautista, Rey Mysterio, The D-Generation X dude on the tag team, and I knew of John Cena but never watched him wrestle(didn't know finisher)

I noted the crowed really like the "We the People" group. I'm betting the tag team splitting in the pre-show event and the one guy winning the Royal Rumble will be some of the big news.
I really wanted the Big Show to Win, The Giant was on the nWo and left for the WWF and went as Paul Wight, then the Big Show(though after typing realize that everyone knew that, lol). But that ending was pretty unexpected for me.

I always looked at it as a soap opera. Not knowing the backstory sucked. Anyway, the Undertaker - Lesner match went too long and a I hated the outcome. I do get Lestner would slay Mean Mark Callous but still.. Dude was 21-0, what a record. And the four minute intro with the black lights and fog was awesome. I never got to see the Undertaker in Person so that was just awesome.
I like the return to the morbid dark look, last I saw him he was a biker.

My favorite part was the old wrestlers. Not seeing the TV feed, we didn't get much of Hulk, but in what we did see, especially with Roddy and Mr. T. That was childhood all over. Wretlemania 1, wow.
Then the intro, Hulk saying Silverdome twice. Second time booed, probably all scripted but it was a funny reaction, the Stone Cold comes out and makes fun of him as does the Rock when he comes out. When I heard that crash indicating Austins music, it brought me back to playing Wrestlemania 200 all over again. Then the Rock. Opening was the best part of the whole thing for me.

Got to scratch an item off the bucket list.

Loudest crowd I have ever seen. I have video of the Yes, Yes, Yes parts and the movement is crazy, it's like every single person is doing it. Participation levels you never see at sporting events.

Seriously the crowd was fantastic. The only time it was dead was during the dead man's match, because they were so damn slow. Everything else was the greatest event ever. When Batista tapped the reaction was off the charts. You must not have been there, you were watching ppv, know how I know?!

I am not really a fan anymore, but the crowd I thought was amazing. The take match and the chick wrestling were probably the two quietest parts.

No one has talked about what this mesns for BROCK LESNAR.

Will BROCK LESNAR come in fulltime? How did this further BROCK LESNARS persona?

By default it has too right?
