It’s pretty interesting how every 10 years (WM 10, 20, 30, 40) the main event featured a wrestler who was never viewed as a top guy and far from the company’s usual first pick to be in the main event of Wrestlemania, but was a such a huge fan favorite by many to the point where they had to pull the trigger and give them their moment in the sun. Bret Hart, Benoit, Daniel Bryan, and now Cody.

And each of those instances involved said wrestler having to overcome more than one obstacle on the WrestleMania show itself Bret had to fight his brother earlier in the night before fighting Yokozuna in the main event Benoit had to beat both Triple H and HBK Bryan had to beat Triple H in the opening match and then beat Orton and Batista in the main event And now Cody has a high stakes tag team match on Night One the night before his title match on Night 2 The years that end in the number 4 have this unspoken tradition it seems

The thing that really sticks with me about Daniel Bryan's victory in the main event is that one of the very first things he did after the match was over was walk over to Connor Michalek, the young boy suffering from cancer that for the previous year and a half had gotten himself familiar with the WWE roster and company brass, which all started because he wanted to meet Bryan, his favorite wrestler. Bryan, this child's personal hero, greeting Connor right after winning and telling him that he wouldn't have been able to do it without Connor's support, gets me in the heart every time I think about it, especially knowing Connor died only 19 days later. I will always respect Bryan for making his moment Connor's moment too.
@themightEmudEАй бұрын
Shows how big Bryan's heart is and it's what made his AEW win at Wembley even sweeter knowing his family was ringside, screaming "l love you so much" to them as he was hulking up while getting kicked to hell, and having his daughter be the one who got "his" last question at the press conference (of course by his request). Dude almost went into the Peace Corps but decided to continue wrestling ... a person with a big heart is easy to love

Lesnar proceeded to stay with the company for nine years, hold most of his world titles, and return to Wrestlemania main event four times after this PPV. He was used to crown Seth, Roman, Drew, and Cody as top guys, keeping all of his credibility after each loss. I don't think they would have kept the finish the same, knowing that Taker wouldn't retire for six years, but there was much more upside to giving the win to Brock than people thought at the time.

The way the Warrior died always gives me chills. You're right, he couldn't have timed his return any better. At the time, it really made me think that some supernatural force was controlling his fate. If you saw him on Raw the day before he died, he didn't look well and I think more than a few people noticed. And then what he said that night "Every man's heart beats it's final beat..." as if he really knew that the next day would be his last on Earth. How did he know? It's still a mystery to me today.

The sad thing with Batista's 2014 return is that pretty much nothing went the way he had hoped. He wanted to return & be a cocky heel, a la Hollywood Rock, but Vince McMahon told him to play a babyface, only for that idea to be rejected by the fans because he wasn't Daniel Bryan. Eventually Batista would turn heel, but it was solely to reunite Evolution with Triple H & Orton, but even that wasn't quite what Batista wanted, so it's no surprise he bounced after the 6-man tag against The Shield (though that match was absolutely awesome, so at least Dave ended that quick run on a good note).

Haha, "old". I was in the sixth row for Wrestlemania III, when I was six. That same year, the go-to-kindergarten substitute teacher for my class was the semi-retired 93-year-old Mrs. Webb, born in 1893. I knew elderly people who knew veterans of the Civil War well. And, to top it off, my great-grandmother Edna turned 100 in 1987, the same years I went to Wrestlemania. She always loved showing the family group photo from when she was three: of her parents, her maternal grandparents, and her great-grandmother, whose lap she was sitting on. I have a photo of me sitting on Edna's lap when I was two. Edna's great-grandmother was born in 1792. So, I have a photo of me sitting on the lap of a woman who, in turn, sat on the lap of a woman who was alive when George Washington was president. You are not old. I am not not. None of us are. We just don't live long enough to appreciate how recent seemngly "distant" events and people actually are to our time. EDITED TO REMOVE A DUPLICATED WORD FROM A SENTENCE.

Fascinating conclusion there. I would argue that Wyatt vs Cena at WM30 going the way it did is vital for their Firefly Funhouse match years later. Without that one-sided match, we don't get Wyatt's magnum opus. Taker vs Lesnar was sad to watch at the time, and the moment when Taker becomes concussed is so easy to spot too. You could tell that Lesnar hadn't really a plan and they were just hurtling towards the finish.

I think the main issue with Cena vs Wyatt is the fact at this point the crowd was resigned about Cena's character. They knew he would never change and he would win even if it doesn't make sense. Also the story with Wyatt pushing Cena to the "dark side" was already tried with Kane in 2012 ("Embrace the hate") and we all know how it turned out... So of course they weren't as invested as WWE wanted to. Which is too bad because Bray's character at the time was a breath of fresh air and Cena actually sold fear and concern pretty well during the build-up of this match (and great promo package too). At the time I really enjoyed the match (minus the finish of course) because it was more storytelling than wrestling moves and Bray was so captivating to watch. Maybe I should rewatch it, I didn't expect you would reject it ^^
@DasNordlicht917 ай бұрын
I think if the result had Bray taking advantage of Cena's indecision and pulling off the win, forcing Cena to re-evaluate himself to a point where we do briefly see "The Dark Side of the Cenation" for like a couple of weeks or so until Cena inevitably rises above it to blow off the feud with Bray.

To think that this Wrestlemania is now 10 years old is mind blowing, to see where I was at 13 years old versus now at 23 years old is mind blowing and little did I realize that at the point this would be my peak of being a WWE fan before taking a break for a couple of years and then returning around 2016 and now being a bigger fan and now having friends who love WWE just like me, it’s truly crazy to look back at this WM and not just how amazing it was but where I was in my life

Remember when TNA tried to ride off this event by repackaging Eric Young as an underdog babyface, and having him become number one contender and win the world title all within a day?

Lesnar and Vince went to the Hospital after the Taker match apparently. The Streak ending so meekly was sad.....it deserved a better ending than Taker barely able to work.

Being the match right after the end of the Streak was the ultimate Wrestlemania death spot.

It’s crazy how this is now considered classic. I remember watching this when I was 8 with an older family friend and remembering when the streak ended how shocked me and her both were when it ended and seeing the look on people’s faces after the 3 count. It’s crazy to think about how 10 years ago I was still in elementary school, now I’m about to graduate high school. Time flies huh.

I can always say I was there when the streak ended, bad match but amazing moment after the match. Stunned silence. I was also at WM 34, and remember meeting you at the wrestlecon before hand. I was star struck lol

Crazy to look at the Shield from 10 years ago, they have damn near a dozen World titles between them since then, a plethora of US and Intercontinental Championships (including an IWGP US one). And not to mention they've been at the top or just beneath it no matter the US Promotion they wrestle for.

HBK on the zip line above the crowd reminds me of Spider-Man just throwing his webbing up and catching something unseen.

I have been to WM 25, 30, and 34 and enjoyed this the most of the three. Saw the Undertaker fan in New Orleans at the Raw afterwards and people offered money to put his face on a shirt.

Brian: If WWE doesn't listen to fans for the main event, what would that even look like? Me: WM 32, basically.

A personal favorite moment in this show was Jerry yelling "Special Moment" during the Hogan, Austin, Rock segment. Just felt very funny how he delivered it.

16:00 I've gotta ask Brian, was your voice change, during the Tilt a Whirl , a reference to one of our shared, favorite moments?? 'Get ready for the Big Swing!!!' -Ivory LOL There something so, out of left field about it. It's hilarious and a bit sad, because she gets no reaction! Poor Tina Moriartti. Maybe She thought she was back at the Riviera: Hotel and casino, filming a G.L.O.W. Match. Regardless. I appreciate her effort. Cheers 'Ivory' & Godspeed.

I'm with Blip Brian, this was a really good Wrestlemania (beating out versions either side for many a year).
