    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 37 Both openers on both nights really do a terrible job of setting expectations for the two night show (When did they go to two nights? I remember the nearly five hour WrestleMania XX felt like too much, nevermind two nights of it!). Orton/Fiend is genuinely laughable...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 26 Mania 26 is a real problem for me. It has a perfectly acceptable, albeit somewhat bland, MITB match (with an equally bland winner). It has a HHH/Sheamus match that is better than you'd expect. Chris Jericho and Edge put on a really good match for the World Heavyweight Title. The...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 20 This show is weird because at the time I was delighted with the ending of this show but now 20 years later it's a much different emotion watching Eddie and Benoit celebrate with the belts. Their matches on this show are outstanding, it felt like the perfect crowning moment of...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 28 You know you're off to a bad start when a very average six minute women's tag team match is the best match of the opening hour. The Sheamus title win was shocking but not in a good way, I'd rather have Orton/Kane get the shock if you need to save time for Taker/HHH - which is...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 7 I feel truly vindicated in my decision to not start FROM THE BEGINNING after watching this sprawling mess of a show. It's wild because the opener (Rockers vs Haku/Barbarian w/ Heenan) is solid enough and the crowd is absolutely amped up all night (they help a lot), but so many of...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 34 The production quality here is phenomenal. All three guys for the opener IC Title Match (Balor v Miz vs Seth) looked amazing coming down, and the visual of Balor's against the backdrop of the crowd was out of this world. The match was pretty good followed by one of my favourite...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 24 The first Mania I watched last year when deciding I'd give wrestling another chance. It certainly wasn't the best show to do it, but it was a middling show without too much bad, and with a lot of good, and two really good matches. Finlay/JBL is fine as an opener, the MITB is...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 13 There is something to be said for watching some of these storyline travesties out of context. Namely that I can just experience the match for what it is. Although the massive caveat there is that this show is full of poorly booked and poorly wrestled matches, with only two good...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania Rewatch! I was an ardent fan of the business from the mid 90's until the 2000's and then after the InVasion, the debacle that was NWATNA, and prioritising drinking over buying tapes from the indies (My sister actually saved them all from when my mum passed and surprised me with...
