Face the crowd
paudieconnolly3 April 2022
If the last few years has taught us anything. It's that In sport there is one element you need that you can't buy . In fact that element will pay to be there.

They are the fans and without them live sport is a very different underwhelming atmosphere lacking event.

No match results here or spoilers just a look at the night. Nakamura entrance is always magic on the biggest stage let's you know this is wrestlermania in a tag team title match opening good match. Mysterio father son team, tagging against the miz and YouTuber Logan Paul was surprising good . What the WWE did brilliantly tonight was hype the matches if you have not been present in the WWE universe for the last two years. It's does not matter. A very good back story for all matches. Drew McIntyre v Corbin feels like a wrestlermania match. Then Becky lynch Bianca Belair steal the show strongest match of day for me. Seth Rollins v mystery opponent is a return from wrestlings past. Flair Rousey adding more quality to the night. Finishing with Stone Cold on the kevin Owen show. I am not sure what I was expecting. Wrestling without fans was unwatchable for me, This felt like it was wrestling at it best stone cold might have returned home to Texas , but wrestling returned home to where it belongs in front a energy filled crowd. Well done WWE great first day.

Day 2 mark walberg. Warns at the show's beginning that sequels are not often not as good and this is true of these two nights not that the second night is bad just a high bar set from the first round. Triple H following resent announcement of retirement opens the show. The big surprises of night was the none wrestling involvement Johnny Knoxville involved in a very entertaining match. Pat McAfee not only delivered in the ring but on mic to. Shades of the late great Roddy piper's wildness where you feel anything could be said . With the cleverness of Bobby the brain I know this is very high praise. Then it not very often you hear someone on the mic at there beginning and think yes you perfect for the role. A fatal four way for the women tag team title was another strong match. The night would end with the biggest match in wrestling history both titles Reigns v Lesnar. I do wonder how far down the list of main events this could fall maybe over hype didn't help. When I think of the iconic face to faces The electricity in the room fan anticipation of matches like Andre v Hogan ,Rock v stone cold ,Lynch Flair Rousey ,Angle Lesner , warrior hogan. These where the reason you tuned in . I didn't feel it from the crowd and it all became a little bit of an anticlimax to an amazing two days.

Greatest event of WWE: True to its name!
MuviFan734 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I will discuss the matches of men according to their entertainment value from lowest to highest.

Corbin vs McIntyre: The better wrestler won, despite corbin getting all the unethical help from his partner.

Logan Paul & Miz vs The Mysterios: Even I wanted the father son duo to excel but I guess the better team won.

Seth Rollins & AJ Styles are quite underrated when it comes to WWE. Despite that both lost to Cody Rhodes and Edge. Its technical lost if to be discussed. First let them get frustrated then pin them they give up.

Tag team triple threat match: The Title was retained by Randy and Riddle. I however missed caterpillar move in action.

Austin Theory vs Pat McAfee: The thing is McAfee won despite being a wrestler not of that kind. McMahon charged him with second match where he lost.

Samy vs Jackass team: For a single contender Samy was enough but with the wrestling & items of jackass team Samy lost. Poor Samy!

The final match Roman vs Brock dint fare a clean play, witnessing the same technical issue as mentioned above, Brock lost!

Omas lost at the hands of Bobby. Go see for yourself. It was quite a site.

Kevin Owens and Steve's Austin clash was awesome. It was foolish on Kevin's side to underrate a wrestler because he returned after such time.

The biggest Wrestlemania match ever?!
profilmer13 June 2022
WrestleMania 38, it was divided into 2 nights. So basically the highlighted main event was held at the second night. This was a good show. The first night was everything, but the second night couldn't make up to the light that the first night made and the biggest wrestlemania match was not the biggest match, literally the entrance was longer than the match, at the end it's a sport and the FIRST NIGHT WAS INCREDIBLE!

STUPENDOUS !!!!!!!! Also Night 1 >> Night 2
saurabh-974 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This felt similar to last year in the sense that Night 2 had a better card going in but Night 1 was magical and Night 2 didn't live up, buuuuuut Night 2 had the triple threat main event which was easily one of the best matches and build last year which Night 2 did not.

The best build, 8 months with recurring Lesnar appearances, betrayals coupled with the fact this was the end of a feud which began 7 YEARS ago, this sure did disappoint, even more considering they had a great match in WrestleMania 31 when their personas were not beloved as well. Since then Lesnar became a major baby face and Reigns improved tons and then some, this disappointed. Night 1 left me on a high and feeling great this, considering the fact was the top feud needed a blood fight. Hey at least it was better than WrestleMania 34 encounter, a decent match in itself but didn't match up to the quality of the build.

Night 1 was a 9-9.5 show and Night 2 was 7-7.5 show hence settled on the screw it, I will watch the Zayn Knoxville match at least 10 more times. THIS EVENT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

Night 1 was great, Becky Vs Bianca may just be the greatest Women's match in MANIA history, Bianca has beaten two of the four horsemen at consecutive WrestleMania'as now. Cody vs Seth was magic and perfect. Great to see Stone Cold, KO bumped like a madman. Only Charlotte Vs Rhonda disappointed considering their Survivor Series match was sooo good, at least the finish was fine, Charlotte won in Flair fashion, her dad must be proud. Also hate to admit that Logan Paul gets it, he's a natural, the hard cam stares, raking in the heat, the athleticism.

Night 2 opened with a banger all the men involved did great, Lashley had a decent entry, Zayn vs KnoxVille was a lot of fun, my match of Night 2. PEAK SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT . Edge vs Styles was a dream match of mine that didn't live up to my expectations but was still good. Preist Edge is a good team but needs a third guy. Malakkai would have been great. I am guessing Ali or Dijakovic joins them. Hope we get Preist and Edge vs Finn and Styles.. Butch was the highlight of the other tag team match. Pat Mcafee is a bloody star, it's a case of an engaging personality overshadowing the match itself and well the one match that I was most hyped for sort of disappointed.

Overall definitely Stupendous and in my top 5 manias that I have seen in my 20 years of watching annually.

Night 2... RK BRO vs The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy (3/5) Bobby Lashley vs OMOS (1/5) Johnny Knoxville vs Sami Zayn (3.5/5) Sasha Banks and Naomi vs Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley vs Nataylia and Shayna Baszler vs Queen Zelina and Carmella (1.5) Edge Vs AJ Styles (4.5/5) Sheamus and Ridge Holland vs The New Day (Pointless/5) complete waste.

Decent
Kingslaay1 May 2022
I thought 2 days would be a waste and full of pomp but it was quite good. Very entertaining with certain matches and segments. Great to see Stone Cold return and they just got straight on with it. Before I knew it WrestleMania was over. Nice one.

ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL SOMETHING SOMETHING CODY RHODES
Save_Us_Y2J5 April 2022
This had no right to be this good, after a below average first half in the XXX's after an amazing WrestleMania 31 , 37 was a bounce back and 38 is just perfection especially being there live. Both nights left me on such a high that live events have been ruined for me.

This was never about wrestling itself but the atmosphere, energy and doing stuff right to garner it. I went and watched it again and it didn't bore me a bit unlike 32-35 which were a snooze fest.

Highs - Bianca and Becky had the best women's match in Mania History. Zayn Vs Knoxville may just be one of the greatest WrestleMania matches, this is garbage wrestling, but garbage wrestling done right to the T. Growing up and watching Heat and Jackass on MTV this blend was great.

McAffee used to annoy me in watch along but dude is a charisma machine. ALSO GOT TO WITNESS STONE COLD'S LAST MATCH IN PERSON AND A TAKER ENTRANCE AT MANIA.

Anyways - ratings for some matches Bianca vs Becky - 4.75 Cody vs Seth - 4.75.

Flair vs Rhonda - 3.0 ( Their first match was so much better man ) Austin Vs Owens - 4.

Raw Tag Team Match - 3.75 ( great opener for the crowd though ) Knoxville VS Zayn - 4.25 ( 7 stars tbh ) Edge vs AJ - 3.5 ( both can do better ) Pat Vs Austin Theory - 3.75.

Reigns Vs Lensar - 3.5.

WrestleMania 38

Warning: Spoilers
It was not as good as past WrestleManias, but not as bad as I expected either.

The main event was a train wreck though. How can you have celebrities that perform better than your World Champions.

Now This Is What WrestleMania Should Be
jeremycrimsonfox13 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
WrestleMania 38 took place in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and basically proved how WrestleMania should have been. It was so star packed, in fact, that World Wrestling Entertainment made it a two-night event.

Night one begins with Brantly Gilbert doing an awesome rendition of American The Beatiful (and showing what country music should be like, even if it has elements of rock music put in), this installment of WWE's long-running PPV is a good example of how the Showcase Of The Immortals should be done. The first match of the night being The Usos going up against the team of Shinuske Nakamura and Rick Boogs for the Smackdown TagTeam Championship, the WWE proved they put some effort into making this like the Super Bowl (if Rick Boogs playing electric guitar for the entrance of him and Nakamura is any indication of). The match I hate from night one is the tag team match where Rey and Dominik Mysterio face off against The Miz and Logan Paul (yes, WWE had the audacity to allow Logan Paul, who is considered a piece of trash to anyone watching YouTube due to his controversial antics, especially that suicide forest video from New Year's Eve 2017 that caused a lot of backlash, and even got YouTube into hot water for not responding quick enough to complaints, to wrestle in their events). However, it does have some best matches, like Seth Rollins in a match against a mystery opponent, who reveals himself to be none other than the American Nightmare himself, Cody Rhodes, who makes his official return to WWE in this match after six years away from the company, having left AEW in February, and the final match of the night, a No Hold Barred match between Kevin Owens and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Night 2 starts with a triple threat match for the RAW Tag Team Championships betweem RK-Bro, The Street Profits, and Alpha Academy, and also has some good matches like Bobby Lashley Vs. Omos (which counts as a David Vs. Goliath battle), Johnny Knoxville Vs. Sami Zayn in an anything goes match (the better celebrity vs. Superstar bout, as the match type fits Johnny Knoxville, who is infamous for doing dangerous stunts on TV shows and movies),and the main event, Brock Lesnar Vs Roman Reigns in a championship unification match where winner takes all (in this match's case, winner claims both the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship).

Undoing lesnar

Warning: Spoilers
I cant believe how much time i waste for this childish facade.

What a naive pageant. A few suplexes few superman punches and spears and it's done?

There weren't fans calling it 'the greatest match in history' ir was the company itself. Who the hell sits down writes this and gets paid?

Pathetic play.
