WM37: The Reign WM38: Age of Lesnar WM39: Infinity war WM40: Endgame

[@ATVPokemonMaster_02]

This wasn't just Pro Wrestling! WrestleMania XL was pure CINEMA!!!

[@diamondkinggaming3203]

WM39 and WM40 both will be remembered as the most CINEMATIC CLASSIC Wrestlemanias of all time

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Stop saying cinema, little baby. It makes no sense, especially since it has no good storytelling, especially cody and his story "I want. At title to make by daddy proud". The feud was so Boring it needed the rock to save it

[@AlexBrown-ot2gv]

[@ssgzaytoven5305]

@@mihaimercenarul7467 you have to be very slow to say there was no story. this match was a culmination of 10 years starting with the betrayal of the shield. A rhodes never won the title, and he won it therefore completing that story that went on for decades. The rock did contribute to this feud but without cody and his supporters this story doesn't happen. Think next time.

[@Aftermath3210]

Correction to night 1 main event: Roman bled from his nose hard way, which for me added some drama as he descended from tribal chief into more of an animalistic style. I personally think a “blade job” would have softened this match. This was a great match!

[@Aftermath3210]

[@heywhtsupapple1]

This mania was the first mania I ever watched cause as a kid I never wanted to ask my parents to buy the ppv. I used to watch r Raw and SmackDown weekly, but then as I got older, I got bored of it. I then started seeing your TikToks and other wrestling creators tik tok and I got back into it. Now with WWE being on peacock I’m able to see all the PPV’s and I’m stoked. Insanely fun mania to watch. Cody finishing the story was cinema

[@hoyitsnaro]

Saaame! I never watched the PPV’s when I was a kid but havin access now is so dope!

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Kiddo, cody hâd no story. Wanting to win a title cuz of daddy îs not a story.

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

It isn't, little child. The main event was really overhyoed thanks to The rock, cena and undertaker for nostalgia bait. Roman vs cody really was mediocre, not ti mention how bad the feud would have been if it wasn't for The rock.

@@mihaimercenarul7467 "nostalgia bait" "how bad the feud would have been if it wasn't for the Rock" Okay, buddy. 🤣 Keep hating. I grew up in the Attitude and Ruthless Agression era's and started watching back in the New Generation era. Sting's my GOAT and until this weekend, Wrestlemania 17 was the best I'd ever seen. Just because you prefer the past, a rival company, just think new WWE is bad doesn't make it anything other than your own bias. Which I assure you, is much, much more wild than recency bias.

[@Daniel-bc5yq]

I understand it was Stone Cold who was supposed to be there instead of the Undertaker, but the Undertaker being the one to deliver that last blow was so meaningful to me that I wouldn't change it. Roman's Empire was so strong it took EVERYTHING to take it down. Including supernatural forces

[@tmac731]

Thankyou for posting this Santi even if you usually upload it 3 days later.

[@emfbat]

Man sancho and I think so much alike. I watched wrestlemania 38 accompanied with zero episodes of raw or smackdown the previous year. And the bloodline brought me back too. I began watching wrestling at the end of the golden era when my mom bought a hogan action figure. And despite leaving and coming back through the years here I am.

[@jordanalford2825]

The Panicked cries of the wiseman as Cody completes the Triple Crossroads Michael Cole’s FINISH. THE. STORY. in perfect sync with the 3 count. The massive pop mixed with Samantha Irvin’s emotional proclamation THIS WAS CINEMA!!!!!!!!

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Bad cinema since cody's story and The feud was pretty bad. Cody's story is just "I want to win a title to make daddy proud". And The feud between him and roman hâd no substance, he won The rumble twice so that's why roman has to fight him, nothing else. It needed the rock to add spice ot this boring feud.

[@marcuspowell4343]

Marcus here! Second biggest LA Knight glazer after our guy #sanchomania . I disagree that they nerf LA, and i think the match against Aj was a good showcase for him. When was the last time LA was pinned clean, he doesn’t his literally number 2 in the company if Roman doesn’t return. (Seth is this gens Randy Orton no matter who is number 1 he is still number 1) they will keep LA and Cody on separate shows after the draft to display that going forward thats their 1&2!

Something that might be worth thinking about here. Regarding very few people recognizing the streamer; it's still okay because the people that do know and are into it are gonna enjoy it. The same logic applies to Kelce and Johnson coming in. For those who care, that was an awesome moment. The same thought applies to Seth's mummer entrance which was one of the top 5 highlights for someone like me who is from Philly and really felt how WWE was making such a big deal about throwing such an awesome event in my city

[@colbygreene1110]

my grandpa has watched wrestling for 60 years almost and he is what got me into wrestling 13-14 years ago and he said that old times were the best because of nostalgia but this wrestlemania and this era is the best and levels above and that's what I also think story lines and wrestling ability wow moments are way above the nostalgia now wrestlemania 40 was definitely the best wrestlemania you can say the 2 nights but also flip that and you can say they have to put on 2 great nights to have the best wrestlemania now and they did that

[@malachicampbell4125]

I was ready for that glass to shatter

[@DarthCrizzy]

Definitely top 3 wrestlemania for me but 17 will always hold that special number 1 spot for me personally but 40 was definitely amazing and the best in recent memory I’ll even admit as silly as it sounds , if Austin would of came out , it probably would of gave 17 a run for number 1 for me , Austin was just to special to the core and start of my fandom back then

[@tippystir]

Idk 100% about “saving,” wrestling (though I totally see where that sentiment comes from and how it was well supported by your explanation), but I think Roman absolutely played a major role in “keeping it afloat.”

[@SanchoWest]

Without Roman, I don't think TKO buys WWE

Honestly, the only moment I enjoyed was when Jey Uso ran out during the night 2 main event because it looked like he was going to start dancing like Jeff Hardy did for his AEW debut.

The only thing that was disappointing about RAW after Mania was the lack of Bloodline progression. But maybe they're saving that for Smackdown since they're technically on that show. Who knows.

[@Dre384]

Rock and Roman is not gonna be around for a while what more can they progress right now😂

As a major LA Knight fan Im super happy with that match and dont agree with Sancho one bit. The fact LA Knight avoided every single one of Styles major moves shows how smart he is. Avoiding and reversing will always be cooler to me than kicking out 3+ times

[@SanchoWest]

Sure it's cooler but it won't make highlight packages, the only thing is the suplex off the top and the bft hitting. It wasn't a back and forth. LA Knight fought from underneath and didn't embarrass AJ on a mic. LA Knight at house shows is far more entertaining than on TV.

[@JPathakMUSIC]

Thank u roman🥺

[@clarkspacewayne2672]

Keep The Big Three (Jade, Bianca and Noami) as a faction for now, build to a huge triple threat next year for the title. Jade gets more cocky over time.

[@25Dzone]

WWE has just signed Jacob Fatu, if they could steal someone like Tama Tonga too - The Rock could literally take out Roman, leave the Bloodline with one of his family and both Roman & The Rock can take some time off. I know The Rock basically needs to but I think Roman wouldn't mind being off TV for a bit and focus on family & health.

1:11:41 "tell me if i'm wrong" Uhm yeah sadly you're wrong Sancho. We have too many reference to LA Knight's capabilities as a wrestler way back in TNA. He's a good wrestler, not a great wrestler. I love LA Knight but just like his predecessor The Rock, he's an OK wrestler carried by his generational charisma and mic work. WWE isn't nerfing the guy, they're actually doing him a favor by giving him AJ this match to make him look good.

I don't really understand what Sancho is trying to argue about with him not saying this is the greatest Wrestlemania, I understand like the idea of a full show being better than 40 but you don't base a Mania just off of 1 significant moment almost every Mania has a very iconic Moment so that argument makes no sense to me it's based on the entirety of the show. Match Quality Production Crowd Reaction Celebrities Performances Entrances Character Work Promos All of that should take factor into what you view as the Greatest Mania not just one moment.
