To this day, I still don't get how they didn't pull the trigger on Dean not facing HHH at Mania & getting his moment. He was clearly the most overbaby face at that time.
Amen. You literally took the words out of my mouth. There was so many times where WWE could’ve pulled the trigger with Dean Ambrose considering the fact 2014 to early 2016 was over with the audience but always kept constantly making it clear to the fans that they were sticking with Roman Reigns and told us to shut up and deal with it. Those were very rough times.
@@BullyMaguire42069 used to like Ambrose, then I saw him in AEW and realized why he wasn't that big of a star in WWE. Dude's exposed himself badly in AEW lol
I remember reading dirt sheets back in 2016 and apparently the confusing booking was "to keep swerving the audience with negative outcomes so when Roman wins they'll cheer", the whole show was designed to get Roman over.
That makes so much sense as to why there were so many heel victories on the show. Only Zack Ryder and Roman Reigns (at least in the company's plans) won on the main card.
Vince is/was so nuts that even though this sounds insane, I can actually somewhat believe it. Vince sabotaging the rest of the show to get his main guy over sounds like something he'd try.
Bro to make this wrestlemania worse, getting in the stadium was a NIGHTMARE. We couldn’t get in because the ticket scanner was down so half the crowd missed the opening of Wrestlemania. Was a terrible experience
@@jakekallail1119it’s because they wanted him to be John Cena when that wasn’t suppose to be his character. He should have been the silent killer everybody cheered for but he ended up being a John Cena ripoff
Probably because Vince didn’t want TNA’s AJ Styles to go over on WWE’s Chris Jericho in his first match, he’s notoriously petty like that, Sting vs Triple H for example 😅
Crazy to think that apparently the original plan was Undertaker vs Sting, then after Sting got injured Plan B was Undertaker vs John Cena. Then Cena got injured so Shane was Plan C.

Thank you. I’ve been saying this for like the past eight years Ambrose should’ve been the one to walk out of ‘Mania as the WWE champion, but typical WWE stuck with their precious golden boy Roman Reigns being shoved down our throats as the corny babyface whom the fans heavily rejected.

@phonemovieclips1371 I stopped watching wrestling when jeff hardy left back in 09 and in my senior year of high school two of my friends were watching wwe little did I know they were watching nxt cause samoa Joe debuted in 2015 and asked them who he was and they gave me the run down of the brand and who he was and I said I will give it try but still I was on and off until takeover dallas that match alone made me realize wrestling can be fun again and discovered ROH, NJPW, PROGESS and more indie promotions around that time
@@patrick.6276 Rollins, Orton, Cena, Sting, Bryan, Wyatt. Rock was supposed to wrestle with Ronda Rousey against HHH and Stephanie but of course he made up excuses
@@patrick.6276 The Main Event was intended to be Rollins (c) vs Reigns vs Ambrose. We also had Orton, Cena, Bryan, Sting, Wyatt and Cesaro (who returned the following night on RAW) out.
The nice thing with Shane vs Taker was more of the ring psychology. Taker compensated his lack of physical ability by using logic and and psychology with every old man movement, selling, punch and facial expression makes sense. Taker is truly the GOAT and old Taker proves it cuz he really sold like someone his age and this strangely made his matches even more realistic.
This could have been the biggest WrestleMania of all time with the roster that they had and the record attendance. Unfortunately horrible booking and a massive amounts of injuries completely wasted This PPV's potential
People forget that, when Undertaker vs Shane was first announced, Shane only had to compete in the match. Vince, himself said, he'd give Shane what he wanted, so long as he had one match, one night. I feel that, not only the fans, but WWE themselves in the build up, forget that detail
@@FlareDope Edge won the WHC back from Cena which Cena had won from Edge at WrestleMania. Other than that, I don't know. Yeah Randy won the WWE title in that 6-man tag team match but HHH hadn't won the title at Mania from Orton, he had actually successfully defended it in a singles match so Randy winning it at Backlash can't be called 'undoing' it. So yeah... I don't know what OC means by 'undoing everything'.
Your Rebooking WrestleMania 32 video was one of my favorite videos of all time. I really wish you would bring that series back and rebook some different manias good or bad!
That was my first Wrestlemania attending. After it was over, my buddy and I heading back to our hotel. We both were like, being there was awesome, but if we watched it at home, it would've been buttcheeks.
Same it was my first wrestlemania I ever attended live. I had fun being there but actually reflecting on the quality of matches, it's pretty damn weak. Watching this live in person is always a different beast. I've been 4 wrestlemanias now, and this is definitely the weakest of the four I went to
Just that they kept you kids out past 11 p.m. on a school night was a horrible decision! I attended as well, and my host was a teacher, so once the main event introductions started, I told her that I would meet her outside the stadium
I left this event right after the entrances of the main event, so watching the fireworks from outside the stadium was more entertaining than the Roman/HHH match
Brock probably wanted Ambrose to be dominated the first half and then Ambrose would dominate the second half with brock probably loosing the match. He used the same method on John Cena, Kurt Angle, HHH, Undertaker & C M Punk and a few years later Daniel Brian. But, Vince was like "it's a squash match" therefore the disappointing match.
Also, it was Brock's idea to film the attack on Ambrose on phone to add realism and Ambrose crawling bearly to the arena from hospital. The build-up was top notch because both Brock & Ambrose were invested in the story.
It doesn't get said enough but the Ambrose vs Lesnar build up for 32 was top notch and easily the best build feud heading into 32. It makes it all the more sad with how badly the match sucked.
I was at that show. People were booing the main event all the way through and tons of people were leaving before the match even ended. When my friends and I walked back to our hotel, we all felt so disappointed that we drove from Canada to see that travesty of a Wrestlemania.
I still think WM 27 was worse Unlike in 2016, back then you had no WWE Network (if you wanted to watch better Manias), no NXT as an alternative, and no injury excuses
True, I've watched both shows and I watched buildups as they were happening, and 32 is still a better show. Yeah neither shows were great, but I'd rather rewatch 32 over 27 anytime.
@@dwightyboy5324IDK man the build to 32 was pretty bad. I went back and watched the build for the Dean/Brock match and it literally was the most slap hazard booking Ive ever seen.
@@stanbrouillard2292 well I wasn't specifically talking about the buildup I was moreso referring to the actual shows but you're right, the buildup to WrestleMania 32 wasn't exactly great either

This mania had the perfect setting for Undertaker's last match. His hime state of Texas, 100,000 people. If he retired here, I don't think anyone would've complained.
@WrestleLuxuryWhy, just because you don't agree with it? You see how many stinkers Taker delivered after this one from his 3 minute debacle with Cena to the concussive nightmare with Goldberg and the senile old man's dance with the return of Shawn Michaels at Saudi? I honestly agree Taker should have retired somewhere around 2015-2016.
Mania 32 was the first Mania I'd seen live through the network and Mania 38 was the first Mania I attended in-person. Those two shows at AT&T Stadium were night and day.
I was there live and holy shit the fans crapped all over the main event match, a good portion of the fans walked out before the main event started and also fans were either cheering for triple h and of course booing Roman, chanting for NXT stars, and chanting for CM Punk. I will say Y2J and AJ styles stole the show.
Wrestlemania 32 should have been: Shield triple threat match (but Rollins was injured) Lesnar vs Austin Undertaker vs Cena (Cena was injured) Shane McMahon vs Triple H
This Wrestlemania is an interesting relic from a now bygone era. It was a time when Vince McMahon was at the peak of his narcissism against the fans, and it seemed like every decision made on this night was done out of spite, as if to throw both middle fingers at the viewers and say "I'll do whatever I want, and you will like it!". Fans couldn't even turn to the competition, as Impact was in an "it exists" era, NJPW was still quite niche outside of Japan and the hardcore fans, and AEW wouldn't debut for another three years. Thankfully in 2024, we seem to be on the long climb out of that darkness, but this event should always remind us of how bleak the final years of the McMahon regime were, and hopefully we'll never see a disaster like this again.
Seemingly their entire game plan was to have all the heels win so when Roman won, the crowd would finally have something to cheer for because a face finally won. (From my understanding, Zack Ryder's win originally wasn't supposed to happen.) And on top of that the show just seemed to drag on forever and ever. My favorite parts of that WrestleMania weekend were NXT Dallas and seeing Enzo and Cass show up the next night on Raw. To me, it felt like nothing on the PPV mattered and it felt like it would never end. (Edit: A PPV being long doesn't mean it's bad. If it's a good show, it can be a long show, but it won't feel long.)
It was rumored had sting not gotten injured we were gunna get sting vs taker, then as a back up Cena was the next opponent til he got injured, vince was pretty much getting swerved with the injuries
I’ll always have a soft spot for this Mania since it was my first one live in attendance. I always consider this Mania a show of “moments” versus actual match quality. Great video analysis Pav, keep them coming!
Disappointing Cena match, Why book Brock vs Roman only to have Brock destory him sensibly if they wanted to make him big even if it was already too late for that As a matter a fact why not have Cena and Brock have it out at wrestlemania and have Cena finally defeat him or have Cena defeat Roman SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE GOT
@@EliRetroVHS642And giving AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura the freedom to repeat their Wrestle Kingdom match instead of being limited to give time to Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
@@EliRetroVHS642 Because they had already finished that storyline the year prior and had John Cena tie Ric Flair’s record. Nakamura was very over with the crowd in 2018 after coming up from NXT the year prior and AJ was putting up crazy matches too. The hype for their rematch was insane and they deserved in ring freedom and more time to go off. Their match was very limited hence why it was a huge disappointment.
On one hand, this show was cursed with injuries. On the other, the show is cursed with bad booking 😅 I actually really liked your rebooking you did of this show a while back, Pav. It saved the main event and would've been such a boss way to introduce AJ by immediately having him beef with Beast Mode Lesnar.
The worst part about the Women's Title match is that the fans actually LIKED Charlotte back then. They were excited about the Four Horsewoman changing the woman's division going forward. But her winning this match at Mania with the help of her dad followed by the hot potato title rivalry she would have with Sasha afterwards really was the catalyst that made fans start to turn on her.
i'd argue she was always over with the crowd even after the hot potato feud. getting booed doesn't mean the fans dont like her. she was a heel throughout this time. the first time she got actual go-away heat was February 2019 when Vince announced she'd replace Becky as Ronda's opponent. that's when the fans started getting sick of her. but they still respect her as a talent. her babyface run in 2023 was proof of that
From what I've read the Miz was supposed to win at WM32 but he persuaded them to give it to Ryder so be could have a WM moment. To keep their plans on track they just had Miz win it the next night.
To be fair, Corbin winning the battle royal was a pleasant surprise at the time. An NXT guy with an unexpected victory was cool, but then he became the Main roster Corbin that everyone hated in the late 2010’s
Shanes 2016 return was top 20 returns of all time. A blast of the attitude era with control of the company on the line. Hell in a cell. The best match from WM32
In India my class 10 exams were running and I missed this show and afterwards when I watched this 16 years old me was so disappointed I changed the channel and watched 3 hrs of Man vs Wild
This Wrestlemania suffered from 3 things 1.) A lot of talent was hurt 2.) There were questionable outcomes to many matches 3.) The doubling down of Roman Reigns
Say whatever i loved Jericho vs styles feud , that amazing ladder match and of course taker vs shane was so good, and the theme of the show was one of the greatest of all time
I was busy at the start of the show so I started watching immediately after the ladder match. I thought "man, I hate everything about this show." Then I watched the ladder match and thought "Well at least that was great."
Ironically, 2016 is the best year for WWE in the 2010s and their Wrestlemania sucked. Like I think this and 27 are so close together as lesser but not terrible Mania's. Also I still personally feel like the headline main event should've been Triple H vs Dean Ambrose as Dean was hot at this point.
AJ Styles and Shane McMahon shouldn't have lost their matches, Bayley should have been in that triple threat so we can have a fatal four way between the 4 Horsewomen, and Dean Ambrose should have beaten Triple H for the WWE Championship or Roman Reigns should have beaten Brock Lesnar for the WWE.
2:46 I’m not saying this is gonna happen but what if at the Raw after WrestleMania 40 Matt Cardonna comes back to WWE ? I mean is is a free agent and he wrestle on independent Show.
Imagine if they did Shane(w. Foley) vs HHH (w. Vince & Steph) no holds barred for the authority of Raw where Shane is just getting screwed by Vince's and HHH's tactics for the crowd to give a gigantic pop to Stone Cold's music who walks down as a saviour!!!

It was a time when Vince McMahon was at the peak of his narcissism against the fans, and it seemed like every decision made on this night was done out of spite, as if to throw both middle fingers at the viewers and say "I'll do whatever I want, and you will like it!". Fans couldn't even turn to the competition, as Impact was in an "it exists" era, NJPW was still quite niche outside of Japan and the hardcore fans, and AEW wouldn't debut for another three years.
Thankfully in 2024, we seem to be on the long climb out of that darkness, but this event should always remind us of how bleak the final years of the McMahon regime were, and hopefully we'll never see a disaster like this again.
Seemingly their entire game plan was to have all the heels win so when Roman won, the crowd would finally have something to cheer for because a face finally won. (From my understanding, Zack Ryder's win originally wasn't supposed to happen.) And on top of that the show just seemed to drag on forever and ever. My favorite parts of that WrestleMania weekend were NXT Dallas and seeing Enzo and Cass show up the next night on Raw. To me, it felt like nothing on the PPV mattered and it felt like it would never end. (Edit: A PPV being long doesn't mean it's bad. If it's a good show, it can be a long show, but it won't feel long.)
Yeah well... Roman won and got boo... So... No one cheer except Vince
It was rumored had sting not gotten injured we were gunna get sting vs taker, then as a back up Cena was the next opponent til he got injured, vince was pretty much getting swerved with the injuries
It’s a beautiful day every time this guy posts
Barely in 2024 and bro is putting nothing but straight banger after banger like prime cena
I’ll always have a soft spot for this Mania since it was my first one live in attendance. I always consider this Mania a show of “moments” versus actual match quality. Great video analysis Pav, keep them coming!
You should make a "How Bad was WrestleMania 34" video. I'll put it as my top 10 worst WrestleManias.
The beach ball main event 🤣
Disappointing Cena match, Why book Brock vs Roman only to have Brock destory him sensibly if they wanted to make him big even if it was already too late for that
As a matter a fact why not have Cena and Brock have it out at wrestlemania and have Cena finally defeat him or have Cena defeat Roman SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE GOT
@@EliRetroVHS642And giving AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura the freedom to repeat their Wrestle Kingdom match instead of being limited to give time to Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
@@momelendez9691 Or why not AJ Styles vs John Cena or like I said anything other than what we got
@@EliRetroVHS642 Because they had already finished that storyline the year prior and had John Cena tie Ric Flair’s record. Nakamura was very over with the crowd in 2018 after coming up from NXT the year prior and AJ was putting up crazy matches too. The hype for their rematch was insane and they deserved in ring freedom and more time to go off. Their match was very limited hence why it was a huge disappointment.
On one hand, this show was cursed with injuries. On the other, the show is cursed with bad booking 😅
I actually really liked your rebooking you did of this show a while back, Pav. It saved the main event and would've been such a boss way to introduce AJ by immediately having him beef with Beast Mode Lesnar.
Technically that Shane & Taker match didn't say Shane had to win he just had to compete against The Undertaker not necessarily did he have to win.
Bro just be consistent for like 2 years I will guarantee you will get to million
The worst part about the Women's Title match is that the fans actually LIKED Charlotte back then. They were excited about the Four Horsewoman changing the woman's division going forward. But her winning this match at Mania with the help of her dad followed by the hot potato title rivalry she would have with Sasha afterwards really was the catalyst that made fans start to turn on her.
i'd argue she was always over with the crowd even after the hot potato feud. getting booed doesn't mean the fans dont like her. she was a heel throughout this time. the first time she got actual go-away heat was February 2019 when Vince announced she'd replace Becky as Ronda's opponent. that's when the fans started getting sick of her. but they still respect her as a talent. her babyface run in 2023 was proof of that
These are the matches that that we should have gotten.
Shane McMahon vs Triple H
Brock vs The Wyatt family
Dean vs Roman Reigns
The only I thing I remembered was obviously your obligatory Kick ass Triple H entrance
24th birthday today and watching a video from WrestlinGifs 👌🏻
Happy birthday!
This Wrestlemania got completely retconned right away,it's insane
We were in the trenches during this time. But it was out of WWE’s control given the injuries
If you watch the video, it was definitely in their control bro😪
@@WrestlinGifsnah looking back at the video. You were right like how did WWE just mess up this Mania so bad 😭😭😭
Pav Really Dropping Consistently Now 😂✔️
I still don’t understand why they would have Ryder lose the belt the next night
From what I've read the Miz was supposed to win at WM32 but he persuaded them to give it to Ryder so be could have a WM moment. To keep their plans on track they just had Miz win it the next night.
Shane winning that night would’ve made his “greatest in the world” title a tad bit more believable
I remember being 17 turning off my tv after watching the main event cause I knew who was gonna win anyway 😂😂
I was there live. People chanted “this is boring” and were walking out during the main event. My first live WM. But still had a great time.
4:24 this is the perfect way to describe the League of Nations lol
4:20 bro thought that he can sneak r.i.p akira toriyama without anyone noticing
To be fair, Corbin winning the battle royal was a pleasant surprise at the time. An NXT guy with an unexpected victory was cool, but then he became the Main roster Corbin that everyone hated in the late 2010’s
Ofc not an issue, but it just adds to HEEL HEEL HEEL GOES OVER
take a shot every time bro says "vince mcmahon revenge tour"
Saying Taker should have lost to Shane is wild though!
18:53 AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door 2022 actually got this type of story right 💀
34 is the worst. Taker was washed in a 5 min match that even he didn’t want, and the fans saw their hero lose.
I’m convinced that Vince was drunk while booking this
I’ll give WWE credit for trying to put on a good card with all the injuries even though I felt like it could’ve been a little better
27 to me is still worse. 32 had the injury excuse and still somewhat FELT like a Mania
RIP AKIRA TORIYAMA
thanks for making my childhood happy
This Wrestlemania was saved for me because it was the only one I attended 😅
16:00 you can change your plans for Triple H's match, but that part tbh was okay
Never usually make it this early but seeing the notification was definitely a good surprise
Mania 32 was the last WWE show I ever watched. You put it in words better than I ever could.
The Card itself was on that Joe Rogan DMT type of shiii. But the Soundtrack to mania 32 was pretty hype and nostalgic.
Shanes 2016 return was top 20 returns of all time. A blast of the attitude era with control of the company on the line. Hell in a cell. The best match from WM32
Love these videos
In India my class 10 exams were running and I missed this show and afterwards when I watched this 16 years old me was so disappointed I changed the channel and watched 3 hrs of Man vs Wild
You should make a video on what you thought about bray Wyatt’s full career
This Wrestlemania suffered from 3 things
1.) A lot of talent was hurt
2.) There were questionable outcomes to many matches
3.) The doubling down of Roman Reigns
Roman was always so fucking good and entertaining I never understood the hate he got back then
Because he did not deserve to be in the main event
Also Being entertaining is not enough to be in the mainevent two times in a row
@@amrabdalnasser4691 he deserves everything. mans a legend
@@idobrom as tribal chief he is great, that big dog character was very bad
“It’s fake you control the outcome of the show” is the funniest thing in this video
Say whatever i loved Jericho vs styles feud , that amazing ladder match and of course taker vs shane was so good, and the theme of the show was one of the greatest of all time
Love these vids bro keep going
AJ styles we have big plans for you but you still got that TNA and Japanese stench on you 😂 😂😂
I was busy at the start of the show so I started watching immediately after the ladder match. I thought "man, I hate everything about this show."
Then I watched the ladder match and thought "Well at least that was great."
Ironically, 2016 is the best year for WWE in the 2010s and their Wrestlemania sucked.
Like I think this and 27 are so close together as lesser but not terrible Mania's.
Also I still personally feel like the headline main event should've been Triple H vs Dean Ambrose as Dean was hot at this point.
After wrestlemania following brand split
Vince McMahon Revenge Tour is a perfect way to describe this! And that describes a lot of Vince’s booking decisions.
I do wonder what the original card would be
AJ Styles and Shane McMahon shouldn't have lost their matches, Bayley should have been in that triple threat so we can have a fatal four way between the 4 Horsewomen, and Dean Ambrose should have beaten Triple H for the WWE Championship or Roman Reigns should have beaten Brock Lesnar for the WWE.
2:46 I’m not saying this is gonna happen but what if at the Raw after WrestleMania 40 Matt Cardonna comes back to WWE ? I mean is is a free agent and he wrestle on independent Show.
The first Mania I watched live………omg I still hate it 😂 And then the next Mania I watched live was 34……I was cursed
You could also see nick khan sitting in the crowd during hell in a cell match😮😮😮
Vince M : DAM IT PAV, this is the greatest wrestlemania of all time
No way bro wanted shane to win over Undertaker 💀
I love ur vids man
Imagine if they did Shane(w. Foley) vs HHH (w. Vince & Steph) no holds barred for the authority of Raw where Shane is just getting screwed by Vince's and HHH's tactics for the crowd to give a gigantic pop to Stone Cold's music who walks down as a saviour!!!
But don't lie that theme was hype😭
