I think the biggest thing this Mania did for me was remind me that wrestling is supposed to be fun. That main event was a crazy, silly, overbooked mess...but it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

I think this Wrestlemania certified Roman’s spot on the Mt. Rushmore of wrestling. He was just phenomenal all weekend and finally losing that title I think will put him in a different stratosphere star power wise.

I’m so excited for the future of wrestling (not just WWE) and am very grateful be living in this era 🙌🏽 PS. Simon, when you watch the PLE on Peacock one day you’ll learn why Bayley’s entrance was themed that way. Long story short, it’s based on a park from her childhood in San Jose and she was paying homage to her roots.

THE STORY IS FINALLY FINISHED! Will Cody Rhodes resurrect one of the older world championship belts? 🤷‍♂️ The Longest WWE World Championship Reigns: 1) Bruno Sammartino, 2) Bob Backlund, 3) Hulk Hogan, 4) ROMAN REIGNS, and 5) Pedro Morales. Congrats. Well-deserved. Roman Reigns’ entrance at WrestleMania 40- Night 2 was a great idea, but I would have executed it differently….using a CHOIR (similar to Bobby Roodes’ glorious entrance) with choir members lining both sides of the walkway all the way to the ring (similar to The Undertaker’s druids entrance), and have every CHOIR MEMBER hold up “the Ones” in the air to acknowledge him as he walked down to the ring plus the orchestra, but the orchestra alone was cool. We got the idea. 👀

[@ttm9227]

Not related to the video at all but I just wanted to show Simon some appreciation. Plus I’m slightly drunk so you know it’s real. I basically stopped watching wrestling after Lawler vs cole, the big dog Roman push was probably my last straw. watching whatculture (particularly simon) was my only interaction with wrestiling for years. Simon being so positive about both wwe and Aew got me to watch wrestiling again, and I honestly tried to get into Aew multiple times even though it’s not really what appeals to me (Aew is still great) which wouldn’t have happened without Simon. Seeing Simon be positive and happy on every video, for every promotion and for every wrestler just feels good and made it feel like the world of pro wrestling was a good place to be again, as opposed to (respectfully) 80% of wrestling KZbin that is just some white guy screaming obscenities into a microphone. I know it’s been said before but as I get older I’ve learned that happiness is a lot harder to come by, it’s something you have to make for yourself, and seeing Simon chase his dreams and creating happiness for us but also himself is really inspiring. I’m not sure if Simon will see this but if you do I want to genuinely thank you for being the happy internet wrestling man. We all have bad days but you never let it show and that’s very commendable, so thank you. You may not realize it but you’ve gotten a lot of people through bad days and you might not ever show it here (and that’s ok) but if you’re ever having a bad day I want you to know that there’s a lot of us here who care and support you as a human being. Thank you Simon Miller, you are very appreciated and goofy wrestiling for life, R-truth for tag team, intercontinental and universal championship.

[@andrewhernandez5332]

Yo Simon! So the whole Bayley Egyptian thing stems from an Egyptian Museum over here in San Jose that she apparently used to frequent often. They mentioned live that it was a park, but one doesn't exist like that around here. I used to go to the same high school (Independence) that she did around the same time and think I graduated a year before her, but we never met.

im still just recovering and processing everything that has happened these last few nights. i was at mania night 1. and it was everything i wanted it to be. im a philly native that has been watching wwe since the attitude era and mania was in my city? theres was no way i was missing it. and it was perfect. so yeah bias aside it was to me the best mania ever.

[@KingKeseGaming]

The biggest thing this Wrestlemania did for me was really getting my wife to enjoy the show as well. We share a lot of interests but wrestling has always been just a me thing. She saw how excited I was Saturday morning as I ran down the Stand and Deliver card and the cards for both night and decided to watch with me. I had to play a few video packages here and there and connect the dots on the stories but she was hooked. By the end of night 2, she was acknowledging the Tribal Chief, booing the Final Boss and being extremely happy for Cody finishing his story. This is easily in my top 3 favorite Wrestlemanias and I can’t wait to see where we go from here.

[@tompatchak8706]

As a whole wrestlemania was a really good show 8.5 almost 9 out of 10. There was a few things that I was disappointed in mainly the Uso match and Dawson Rhodes, not being able to be there to be in the ring with his brother. I did like how the two nights float into each other like consequences from one night into the other but I thought that there was more shenanigans in the tag match then there was in the bloodline rules match . It just seems like there was a few were run-ins or whatever or you were cheating in the second night. By the way, Simon, my friend Cole lives in Athens Georgia. He’s got a wrestling group called, classic wrestling, and when they do wrestling shows they call local rock ‘n’ roll band to play with them. You should check them guys out if you can while you’re in the United States.

[@troybannish2656]

I'm NOT the Biggest Sheamus Fan out there, I'm sure. However, Sheamus is Under Appreciated by Us Fans, but he really is stupendous with his story telling. That said, I'm sorry to Disagree with another Bald Brother Simon Miller, but, Sheamus cannot go after the US Title. LA Knight gets that One. Sheamus goes after the IC Title, taking it off Sami, then Losing it to Chad Gable.

[@dcap79]

So cool that I ran into Simon Wrestlemania week.

[@jaymememmel9462]

Great commentGreat comments and thank you for all of them. I am surprised with a lot of these videos and how disappointed many people were to see the undertaker instead of stone cold. I never thought I'd hear people say they are disappointed with having the undertaker. Either way, thank you so much for your analysis and opinions very respected.s

[@Senrabekim]

Something I havent heard a lot of people talk about is that this wrestlemania had a through line that really connected most of the championship matches. It wasnt really rhere for Rhea v Becky but all of the others had a moment where their emotions outside of their match interfered and cost them the match. It was a bit silly with Paul, KO, Viper but when they both went for the pin and realized that only one could win. But their focus on each other as the true threat and letting paul off the hook cost them both. Seth his hatred for Roman, his blind willingness to do whatever it takes to stop the Bloodline, he gets destroyed in the Tag team, and isnt really able to go at Drew. Drew's hatred of CM Punk cost him the title mere moments later. Iyo lost to Bayley, because of the disrespect and desire to hurt Bayley, to embarass Bayley, she kept not going for the win, but to injure her old friend. Then in the main evnt, that was the entire story, getting revenge costing people their champonshjns

[@StephenStepz]

I might be in the minority here, but I wish WrestleMania had more backstage segments and in ring appearances by legends and other members of the roster. Having match after match is awesome, but for WrestleMania, it's good to have a fun spectacle.

[@Geneticlyinsane1]

What I did really enjoy about this Mania was that it left us with open endings , planted seeds for the future and lit the fire under new feuds, where as it used to be very much the full stop ending of stories , really looking forward to where the era of HHH takes us, My only criticism for the 2 nights was that it just didnt have enough crazy entrances , as expected the 2 live "singing" acts were terrible but just HHH style riding in on a lion craziness seemed to be missing , we got a hard to hear orchestra for Roman , nothing at all for Cody ?? and 4 dudes randomly carrying in Bayley for the 1st 10 feet

IC and US titles should be considered “alternative” titles opposed to the world titles, not just mid card titles, even though that’s what they are but with the prestige of both belts I think each title should have its own sorta uniqueness

[@generalmcterror2718]

Yeah I think the Stone Cold stuff was a really well played bait and switch. After all everyone was expecting Austin to show up stun every bloodline member and beer bash afterwards. Anyone that says they knew it would be Undertaker is lying.

[@PESCHARLIE1]

What if we get Rock come back in time to fight Cody for the title at Summerslam (is that too soon?) in a No DQ match, then we see Roman for the first time since Mania as he interferes in their match and beats up Rock. His motives for doing this are that he wants his title back, and wants to take it back from Cody, the man who ended his legendary reign. This sets up Rock vs Roman at WM41

[@ThatAlienGamer936]

Sheamus needs a character similar to Drew McIntyre when he returns

[@thedefeatedpurpose9772]

I don't think there were any instant classic matches outside of the main event. The triple threat was good, and Sami and Gunther could've gone longer but was still really good. The overall reception of the show seems a bit exaggerated from a match quality standpoint imo.

[@bfg5291]

He gave Cody Dusty's hof ring. That's what it'll end up being, but I'm not sure why Cody didn't have it to begin with.

[@richborn6700]

Its such a little thing for me but I like that they're seemingly phasing out the word Universal. They often call him the Undisputed WWE champion, or just WWE champion. The lower third occasionally has the mouthful of a moniker however
