Wrestlemania 32 Weekend Meetup Thread

Of course, the other negative about the packages is that you pay for things you don’t want to do. I might be the only wrestling fan in the world that thinks this – but I’m quite cynical about the WWE’s treatment of the HOF as a real thing. It’d be cool, but there’s so much that happens around WM, I don’t know if it’s something I’d preplan a VIP ticket for given the choice.

This was the last time Vince McMahon would wrestle at WrestleMania and allegedly he wanted this to be the end of the Mr. McMahon character on television. The undercard was really good too, with matches like Punk-Mysterio, the Money in the Bank match, Triple H-Sheamus and Randy Orton facing off against his two former Legacy proteges, Ted Dibase Jr and Cody Rhodes. I really enjoyed this WrestleMania then and still do to this day.

Lashley was the first person to knock Omos off his feet by himself, and as a result, the crowd ate up this Clash of the Titans. My wife and I have the dumb travel package, so we’re in town for everything from NXT to Raw. My one wrestling friend bailed on our agreement to go this year due to financial reasons, so today is a bit of a bummer.

The McMahons clashed in an extremely entertaining match when Shane defeated Vince in a street fight, featuring Mick Foley as the special referee. There were so many stories from the past 12 months that were paid off why are the reaction centers of photosystems composed of several structurally different pigments? in this one match. The famous TLC match between The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian took place at WrestleMania 17 too. These three teams really set the standard for TLC matches moving forward.

The rest of the card is filled with 80s nostalgia, popular legends and memorable moments. The match I remember the most from this show was the hardcore match between Edge and Mick Foley. This was a brutal affair that ended with Edge spearing Mick Foley through a flaming table, officially giving Foley a WrestleMania moment that will live on forever.

It was such a special moment seeing Kofi finally win the WWE Championship with all the fans behind him. Kofi Kingston was the first African born WWE Champion and someone who had been with the company for a long time up to this point, consistently delivering with whatever he was doing. I feel like a lot of us were drained after that match so everything that followed it suffered. There were some good matches that followed, such as Drew McIntyre-Roman Reigns, which was Roman’s first singles match back after battling leukemia, and the Triple H-Batista match, which was Batista’s retirement match that he wanted for years. Triple H finally got a win over Batista with the help of Ric Flair and Batista got to retire on his terms before leaving for Hollywood full time.
