John Cena vs Austin Theory was the first time I was actually sad watching a match. Like you said Cena showed his age and it was first time I could tell he couldn't go anymore and it was just uncomfortable and sad to watch someone you grew up watch become human for lack of a better phrase
@@gaurav7142 nah I liked WrestleMania 34 but was disappointed of WrestleMania 38 even their SummerSlam match was much better which supposed to be WrestleMania mania match that year
Yeah Taker could've went 40 mins but Cena and Vince said no which again was the wrong decision like ok Taker is older and can't go like he used to so they probably was watching for his health but if you look at his matches in that year after he definitely deserved his 40 min match against Cena because he went longer with Rusev at Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia then longer in that sub par match with Triple H at SupershowDown in Australia and right after that to close it off in 2018 again in Saudi Arabia he had that super long horrible reunion tag match between Bros of Destruction vs DX but damn he trained for 40 mins and they just spat in his face. So if he could literally have longer matches that are sub par and horrible than him having a 40 min super good Wrestlemania match for one more time should've been the result
It should have been at least 5-10 mins. Anything longer than 15 probably would have gone downhill quickly, but I feel both of them could make a compelling match in 10.

I definitely didn't feel the same way about AJ vs. Nakamura, expecting it to be a classic. I feel like Nakamura came into NXT, had a classic with Sami Zayn, and then has coasted along in second gear ever since. I can't think of any NXT/WWE matches from Nakamura that I would consider truly great, they kinda peak at "good/okay" for me.
As much as we wanted Cena v Undertake in their prime, who would win? Cena being the face of the company can’t lose at WM considering his WM record isn’t that good and Cena can’t beat the streak
Unpopular opinion: I liked the Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan match. Granted, I was maybe 11, hated Bryan, and loved Sheamus and I was just happy that he won the gold. Also, that's the same Wrestlemania where Kelly Kelly fought, so I was EXTREMELY happy that night. In my mind, that was the best WM ever and possibly one of the happiest days I had that year.
Fun fact: when the undertaker win the royal rumble in 2007, the main event of wrestle mania was John h cena vs Shawn Michaels. When John cena won the royal rumble in 2008, the main event was edge vs the undertaker. They stole each others main event.
Right batista vs taker should have main évent WrestleMania 23 but i think edge vs taker was thé right choice to main évent WrestleMania 24 not cena vs orton vs hhh
I just think that the Royal Rumble winner should always Main Event WrestleMania. That's what the Ring announcers say at the beginning of the Royal Rumble Match. They ruined it with all these exceptions
My family travelled to Mania32 from Australia, and the match I was looking forward to the most was Ambrose v Lesnar. I agree with everything you said, Santi. Every spot that Ambrose tried setting up, the crowd was hyped for, but then it was shut down by Lesnar quickly...

Triple H v Randy was almost a replay on Triple H vs Jericho at Mania X8. Rock and Hogan just totally took the crowd on a ride that they were wrecked at the end of and just didn't give that match anything cos had nothing to give. I like the titles to either open or end the shows. This one opening the show so you can start hot then build back to Taker and Shawn. If you put the title on immediately before Shawn vs Taker same problem. Scheduling not easy but on these two occasions they got it tragically wrong.
AJ vs Nakamura is one of the most disappointing ones of all time. AJ vs Edge was pretty disappointing too honestly. Can't believe I just used AJ as a negative example twice, but it's just what it is.
lowkey Aj styles at wrestlemania has been underwhelming. Aj vs jericho had the wrong winner win Aj vs shinsuke was mid Aj vs edge was mid too and Aj vs Randy Orton was forgettable. Honestly his best mania match was probably with Shane McMahon 😭
The reason Nakamura/Styles match was so hated, was because AJ and Shinsuke had previously wrestled an all-time classic in New Japan at Wrestle Kingdom in 2016. WWE fans who weren't familiar with their NJPW work wouldn't have been too bothered by this match, but to those that knew the magic they could've created, this was really disappointing.
The Rock denies the challenge. Cody comes out convinces/tricks the Rock into accepting the challenge. Then the feud between Cody and the Bloodline continues. Now at Wrestlemania. The Rock vs Cody, the Rock almost loses but the Bloodline gets involved and injures Cody. Then during Roman vs Cody, they have their match so at the end…….. Ending 1(Roman Wins): same thing as usual except with the Rock included in the Bloodline. After the match the Rock betrays Roman and that builds up their match for Summerslam. Ending 2(Cody Wins with the help from the Rock): Cody hits a finisher and goes to pin Roman Reigns but it gets stopped by Solo Sikoa, the Rock then comes out and takes out Solo Sikoa. Jey Uso comes out and takes out Jimmy. Roman has time to get ready for the Spear hits it but Cody kicks out. Everyone goes crazy, the commentator talks about how Cody wants to finish his story for his dad. Then Roman Reigns goes for another Spear, Cody reverses hits the Cross Rhodes and wins the match. Yeah this is just a random prediction 95% that neither happens but it’s fun to predict what happens.
aj styles vs chris jericho at wm 32, chris was still in his prime they could’ve easily had an instant classic and put on one of the best master classes of a match we had the chance to see in a long time, and they both just under delivered in every way they could and it’s such a shame because the build up was genuinely great

@@rodrigad1013 he became the #1 contender the next night but it would’ve made more sense for him to win at mania then become the contender. But yeah that is 100% Vince
Vince loves to screw over Taker whenever there's a mania in new orleans. Taker gets to the arena, finds out hes losing the streak. Taker gets to the arena, turns out it was gonna be a 40 min match and now its a squash
I agree, and it worked too, especially with the build up and the type of guys they were. I don't know what he was smoking when he included it in the list (or if it was just clickbait)
As good as Eddie vs. Angle at 'Mania 20 was, I, to this day, believe that Lesnar should have let Eddie go over at Mania as opposed to No Way Out the month before. Would've spared us the bad Goldberg match...
Lesnar/Goldberg and it's not even close. If you'd told people in late 2003 that we're gonna get Bork vs Bill everyone would have lost their minds. The two biggest unstoppable monsters of their generation, a legit fantasy match. But then word got out they were both leaving, both of them absolutely tuned out before doing so, and the match was a dog turd. The rematch 13 years later was ok I guess.
What made Drew and Brock worse was the fact that was all Strowman and Goldberg did the previous night. So 2 of the biggest titles were just finisher fests. You can forgive the lack of energy because of no crowd but the same match twice was unacceptable.
Edge vs Orton Edge vs Styles Edge vs Balor ...damn, Edge really had some disappointing WM matches in his new run, which is a shame because he did have bangers outside of WM. Though his Triple threat with Reigns and Bryan is a classic
@kevinuchiha6830 Hey Edge is one of my all time favorites but I felt like some of his WM matches in his last run were disappointing. Not bad, but just disappointing. Edge vs Orton was WAAYY too long.
Edge vs Orton could've been great if there was a crowd because the actual stipulation needed a crowd. They really should've changed the stipulation before the match actually happened
I think that Paul Heyman booked the McIntyre vs. Lesnar match hoping it would turn out to be the Goldberg vs. Lesnar SummerSlam shock value feud and no Paul, not every Lesnar match has to be a short shock value match to build up to something down the line, sometimes you need to give your beast a spank in the ass and send him to work the brutal matches he can deliver. This hurts even more because there was no rematch and now Lesnar is gone maybe forever.
I can’t believe they put Undertaker-John Cena match in the 2K showcase. How dare they make me play that and show live clips of it like it was a classic
I feel like Lesnar/McIntyre would have gone differently with a crowd. Lesnar probably just decided that with no fans, in a performance centre, he wasn't going to put much effort in.
WM 25: HHH vs Orton should have been a No Holds Barred Match. Either should have won. WM 34: Styles vs Nakamura should have been an Iron Man Match. Nakamura should have won.
The Drew-Brock one is harsh because of the no fans but that’s also what happened when Brock didn’t care he did the bare minimum to get through a match. If there were fans he would have cared and put on a good match
You see the common denominator is Brock Lesnar, which is what I've thought since 2016-18. Earlier on Brock was phenominal. But later in his career his matches just became finisher fests and any match that he didn't like or wasn't in to he would drag down.
An older one since i have started the process of watching every wrestlemania that i havent seen... Hogan vs Andre at Mania 4 Hyped of being a legendary rematch of a match I kind of found slow but it ending in a sloppy double DQ that made zero sense killed it. Hogan and Andre trade hitting each other with a chair and under any other circumstance Andre would have won because Hogan hit Andre with the chair first because those are the rules. Instead this was used as a way to get both men out of the tournament which itself was a disaster
I mean I think all of them have certain reasons why they are bad Brock vs Goldberg sucked because everyone knew that they were leaving the company at the time in 2004. Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar wasn’t honestly the worse Mania match I’ve seen. Brock clearly didn’t want to do anything creative and also what the main build up/purpose of the match was suppose to be. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar may have been a bad match but I feel that for this match, the whole purpose (no matter what people believed happened behind the scenes compared to the ring and what not) was for the streak to end and Taker taking a beating was a great way for Brock to show how dominant he could if he beat the streak… which he clearly showed afterwards with Cena, Rollins, Reigns and etc. it had it’s purpose. John Cena vs Austin Theory really wasn’t a terrible match, it’s just the ending felt lazy and poorly booked tbh. The ending of the match felt like such a typical Vince McMahon creative decision. John Cena vs Undertaker was all around. Cena talked some smack about taker and the WWE couldn’t even had a proper build up to this match not even a promo or a longer match at the least. It was just bad all around. AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura was distant for greatness in WWE. The fans wanted it, the people behind the scenes wanted it, the other wrestlers wanted it, it’s just that the WWE didn’t let AJ and Shinsuke have a longer match like they did in NJPW in 2014. Imagine if they could’ve had the match even longer. Not the wrestlers fault, the company should’ve let these guys competed longer and maybe even had more creative control for them to put on a banger like they did in NJPW. Triple H. vs Randy Orton had an awesome build up feud in 2009. It’s just when they put in the stipulation of if Triple H. gets DQ or Counted Out then Randy would win the title, ruined the whole purpose of what this match was suppose to be. These two people hated each other with how a personal it got throughout their rivalry. Disrespecting their families, invading each other’s homes, kissing their wives, etc. if anything there should’ve been a stipulation added in to make sure there was a true winner at the end of this match. Again, not the talent’s fault, just the company’s terrible booking decision. Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds might have been a bad decision to effect one of their careers on paper but WWE tried it and it didn’t really hurt his career, because it lead to a great match they had at the next paperview. The build up honestly wasn’t good either but I think this moment made the audience at home care about what was next for the Bryan/Sheamus feud. It was a chance the company took and for once it surprisingly worked. Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre was a bad match but it was during the pandemic era. It was obvious that Brock wanted to take a break for a while depending on how the pandemic was going to affect the WWE for a while which would possibly lead to him retiring maybe?!?!? They needed someone to step up in the company. Drew deserved the moment and clearly wasn’t going to get a better moment at the time to be the WWE champion, so I think it was the best decision at the time. Could the match been any longer? Sure. Was it going to chance what it was going to happen in the end? No. Again it’s another one of those situations where it’s honestly not about the match, it’s about the moment. It is what it is for this match especially when Brock is wrestling in it and Vince is booking it.
Another Hot Take here. Just hear me out. I love this whole Damage CTRL Vs Bayley. But what if it doesn’t end at Wrestlemania and Damage CRTL destroys Bayley forcing Bayley to take time off only to comeback a few weeks or more later with a returning Charlotte, and the roaring return of AJ Lee.
@@BillTyrrell2345 no tf it Isn’t Bayley has been second fiddle in damage control constantly losing, it’s no reason for her to lose at mania, for what to have Charlotte help her when their literally no reason for why Charlotte would help Bayley plus this does nothing for Bayley no point in having her wait to become champion no need to drag out this story especially with Charlotte who have nothing to do with it
Taker was concussed half way through that match at XXX. If anyone can wrestle a half decent match concussed I'd be shocked but yes it was pretty garbage and I'm not going to go through all the reasons the result was bad or this will be an essay but no one can perform anything concussed.
I definitely hyped myself up way too much for AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura and was totally disappointed but it doesnt help that the show was towards the end and the crowd was too tired to care
A finisher fest in front of Fans is fine but when it's in front of no one it just doesn't work. And that's what was the bad part of Lesnar vs McIntyre at Mania 36. Also after an interview Lesnar has stated that he first started his career in front of no one and Mania 36 was basically full circle and he actually retired for a whole year until Summerslam 2021. So Drew did retire Lesnar which is weird to think about because there was no news of retirement either. So I guess that's why the match was short because of covid, the whole full circle thing which made probably influenced Lesnar for a short match. I wish they could redo it in front of Fans whether it be a short match or an amazing Clash for 20 mins
Dont know how anyone expected aj and shinsuke to replicate their match like wrestle kingdom. Its wwe. Obviously it wasnt gonna be nowhere near as good.
To be fair Brock decided he was done about a few days prior. So they didn’t have time to plan out him facing someone else. He was most likely going to beat Goldberg who was on his way out. To the point that I missed out, I didn’t even know the Brock news until the night of wm when I saw the reaction
Ambrose/Moxley came on abit to strong to Lesnar with the pitch for the match apparently wanting to over the top hardcore match stuff and I think Brock thought he was a bit of a goof after that so he just wanted to do the minimum and leave.
I don’t really get why, people are hating the fact that Brock Lesnar beat the Undertakers streak. Brock Lesnar had still returned over 2 years before from being In the UFC becoming a real fighter. Anyone else ending the Undertakers steak would have Been good but, but people would still have the same feeling as they do for Brock Lesnar doing it, The WWE should have just left the streak alone.
I understand keeping taker a surprise (or kind of surprise) so i can forgive the lack of feud a little bit. BUT I am with the idea that the match shouldn’t have been a squash. It’s JOHN CENA and UNDERTAKER. No matter how old or young, this should’ve been more than what it was
Thing with Brock is that they didn't know he was done until like 2 or 3 weeks before 'Mania. They had already been promoting and building that match, so they were kinda stuck
I think it was more of COVID situation. Brock probably didn't want to sign a new contract to wrestle in front of 0 crowds. And the fact that he started wrestling in front of no one and ended up wrestling his last match in front of no one, it was like a full cycle so he retired. Andddd 2021 happened.
@@Cattail4546 I was referring to WM20 in 2004. Only a few weeks before the match with Goldberg (who WWE already knew was going to leave after mania), Brock informed them he was done, too.
Cena and Taker a couple years ago was a bummer because it was 2 retired SuperSuperStars in the mid card because it needed time consuming moments Cena and Taker at Wrestlemania 24 would’ve been a banger that was the last couple years of their respective primes taker was old but Cena and taker coulda walked each other the whole match at that time
Brock v Goldberg shouldn't have been Brock vs Goldberg. Goldberg cost Lesnar WWE title. So Lesnar should have got his rematch. So Eddie minimum should have been there with Kurt Angle who was eventually added. A Fatal 4 way with those 4 would have been so much better than what it was.
IMO that Theory Cena match wouldn’t have elevated him even if it was good. I’m down for younger stars getting wins over legends but if the fans don’t want to see the younger guy win, they’re not going to care if he does
Nah Brock’s Wrestlemania matches either went way too long or way too short. His only good match at mania was with angle. Lesnars summerslam matches are among the best
Realise how brock lesner is another “that doesn’t work for me brother” many matches over the years where didn’t want to drop the title or put a young talent over
@@ProdigyEraNetworkit was a Bad call so he beat cena and that should take him to the next lavel where is he now jobbing to every one if am cena i would have been so mad why have him put thoery over only to see him turning in to a jobber is like cana putting him over was pointless
AJ Styles vs Edge is probably the most disappointing and underwhelming match/feud that I have ever seen. And at the time that was on my list for dream matches😤
He should have ended the streak but he should have either had a banger or if taker has to be injured brock should have squashed him with a few Germans and 1 5F for shock I know taker kicked out of the pedigree and sweet chin music but if he can’t even kick out of 1 F5 then brock looks like a fucking killer even more

Edge vs Orton
Edge vs Styles
Edge vs Balor
...damn, Edge really had some disappointing WM matches in his new run, which is a shame because he did have bangers outside of WM.
Though his Triple threat with Reigns and Bryan is a classic
Edge vs Demon Bálor HIAC was good. Only Orton and Styles was the bad matches he had well same with Cena and Big Show in that triple threat at Mania 25
Nah leave my boy Edge outta here
@kevinuchiha6830 Hey Edge is one of my all time favorites but I felt like some of his WM matches in his last run were disappointing. Not bad, but just disappointing.
Edge vs Orton was WAAYY too long.
Edge vs Orton could've been great if there was a crowd because the actual stipulation needed a crowd. They really should've changed the stipulation before the match actually happened
@@josh043p6Edge vs Bálor was good but Bálor should've won
I guess you can add Jimmy & Jey to this lol
I’m really shocked Roman Brock 34 wasn’t on here. But then I realized we were prepared for a disappointing match
That's why most roman matches pre2021(with a few exceptions ofc) weren't on here.
I think that Paul Heyman booked the McIntyre vs. Lesnar match hoping it would turn out to be the Goldberg vs. Lesnar SummerSlam shock value feud and no Paul, not every Lesnar match has to be a short shock value match to build up to something down the line, sometimes you need to give your beast a spank in the ass and send him to work the brutal matches he can deliver. This hurts even more because there was no rematch and now Lesnar is gone maybe forever.
cant wait for smackdown tonight!
Same
I can’t believe they put Undertaker-John Cena match in the 2K showcase. How dare they make me play that and show live clips of it like it was a classic
And cena vs triple h at noc
Cena getting squashed was hilarious
I feel like Lesnar/McIntyre would have gone differently with a crowd. Lesnar probably just decided that with no fans, in a performance centre, he wasn't going to put much effort in.
Ultmate Warrior vs Triple H and Undertaker/ Jones vs Big Show/ A-Train
WM 25: HHH vs Orton should have been a No Holds Barred Match. Either should have won.
WM 34: Styles vs Nakamura should have been an Iron Man Match. Nakamura should have won.
Cena vs Undertaker was perfectly booked
The Drew-Brock one is harsh because of the no fans but that’s also what happened when Brock didn’t care he did the bare minimum to get through a match. If there were fans he would have cared and put on a good match
I'm disappointed with Roman vs Brock at mania 38
You see the common denominator is Brock Lesnar, which is what I've thought since 2016-18. Earlier on Brock was phenominal. But later in his career his matches just became finisher fests and any match that he didn't like or wasn't in to he would drag down.
It was John Cena call for a 5 minute match The Undertaker wanted 15-20 minutes and it was going to happen until Cena spoke with Vince
Video idea : tier ranking every wrestlemania main event
An older one since i have started the process of watching every wrestlemania that i havent seen... Hogan vs Andre at Mania 4
Hyped of being a legendary rematch of a match I kind of found slow but it ending in a sloppy double DQ that made zero sense killed it. Hogan and Andre trade hitting each other with a chair and under any other circumstance Andre would have won because Hogan hit Andre with the chair first because those are the rules. Instead this was used as a way to get both men out of the tournament which itself was a disaster
Calling it now, They are setting The Rock vs Roman Reigns for next year's Wrestlemania 41
I mean I think all of them have certain reasons why they are bad
Brock vs Goldberg sucked because everyone knew that they were leaving the company at the time in 2004.
Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar wasn’t honestly the worse Mania match I’ve seen. Brock clearly didn’t want to do anything creative and also what the main build up/purpose of the match was suppose to be.
Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar may have been a bad match but I feel that for this match, the whole purpose (no matter what people believed happened behind the scenes compared to the ring and what not) was for the streak to end and Taker taking a beating was a great way for Brock to show how dominant he could if he beat the streak… which he clearly showed afterwards with Cena, Rollins, Reigns and etc. it had it’s purpose.
John Cena vs Austin Theory really wasn’t a terrible match, it’s just the ending felt lazy and poorly booked tbh. The ending of the match felt like such a typical Vince McMahon creative decision.
John Cena vs Undertaker was all around. Cena talked some smack about taker and the WWE couldn’t even had a proper build up to this match not even a promo or a longer match at the least. It was just bad all around.
AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura was distant for greatness in WWE. The fans wanted it, the people behind the scenes wanted it, the other wrestlers wanted it, it’s just that the WWE didn’t let AJ and Shinsuke have a longer match like they did in NJPW in 2014. Imagine if they could’ve had the match even longer. Not the wrestlers fault, the company should’ve let these guys competed longer and maybe even had more creative control for them to put on a banger like they did in NJPW.
Triple H. vs Randy Orton had an awesome build up feud in 2009. It’s just when they put in the stipulation of if Triple H. gets DQ or Counted Out then Randy would win the title, ruined the whole purpose of what this match was suppose to be. These two people hated each other with how a personal it got throughout their rivalry. Disrespecting their families, invading each other’s homes, kissing their wives, etc. if anything there should’ve been a stipulation added in to make sure there was a true winner at the end of this match. Again, not the talent’s fault, just the company’s terrible booking decision.
Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds might have been a bad decision to effect one of their careers on paper but WWE tried it and it didn’t really hurt his career, because it lead to a great match they had at the next paperview. The build up honestly wasn’t good either but I think this moment made the audience at home care about what was next for the Bryan/Sheamus feud. It was a chance the company took and for once it surprisingly worked.
Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre was a bad match but it was during the pandemic era. It was obvious that Brock wanted to take a break for a while depending on how the pandemic was going to affect the WWE for a while which would possibly lead to him retiring maybe?!?!? They needed someone to step up in the company. Drew deserved the moment and clearly wasn’t going to get a better moment at the time to be the WWE champion, so I think it was the best decision at the time. Could the match been any longer? Sure. Was it going to chance what it was going to happen in the end? No. Again it’s another one of those situations where it’s honestly not about the match, it’s about the moment. It is what it is for this match especially when Brock is wrestling in it and Vince is booking it.
Another Hot Take here. Just hear me out. I love this whole Damage CTRL Vs Bayley. But what if it doesn’t end at Wrestlemania and Damage CRTL destroys Bayley forcing Bayley to take time off only to comeback a few weeks or more later with a returning Charlotte, and the roaring return of AJ Lee.
Aj lee not coming back also why would Charlotte help Bayley
@@Wrestle_Kingdom I know AJ isn’t coming back. And charlotte helping bayley is way better than her immediately winning the title.
@@BillTyrrell2345 no tf it Isn’t Bayley has been second fiddle in damage control constantly losing, it’s no reason for her to lose at mania, for what to have Charlotte help her when their literally no reason for why Charlotte would help Bayley plus this does nothing for Bayley no point in having her wait to become champion no need to drag out this story especially with Charlotte who have nothing to do with it
Taker was concussed half way through that match at XXX. If anyone can wrestle a half decent match concussed I'd be shocked but yes it was pretty garbage and I'm not going to go through all the reasons the result was bad or this will be an essay but no one can perform anything concussed.
Wrestlemania 34 is the most forgettable Wrestlemania ever for me😂 Completely dropped the ball on many occasions
Santi always comes through for my workout gym video
I definitely hyped myself up way too much for AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura and was totally disappointed but it doesnt help that the show was towards the end and the crowd was too tired to care
A finisher fest in front of Fans is fine but when it's in front of no one it just doesn't work. And that's what was the bad part of Lesnar vs McIntyre at Mania 36. Also after an interview Lesnar has stated that he first started his career in front of no one and Mania 36 was basically full circle and he actually retired for a whole year until Summerslam 2021. So Drew did retire Lesnar which is weird to think about because there was no news of retirement either. So I guess that's why the match was short because of covid, the whole full circle thing which made probably influenced Lesnar for a short match. I wish they could redo it in front of Fans whether it be a short match or an amazing Clash for 20 mins
The only problem is brock might not be back for long time because of the alligations which could not be true as well
Dont know how anyone expected aj and shinsuke to replicate their match like wrestle kingdom. Its wwe. Obviously it wasnt gonna be nowhere near as good.
He says it’s not the ending. However, let’s be honest. If The Undertaker had kept the streak at XXX, this match would not be on the list.
Have gotta disagree with you on Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan match
That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen 😂
He squashed him, that was disappointing😂
Whenever Shanti: Do you want even more wrestling content??
Me: ⏩️
To be fair Brock decided he was done about a few days prior. So they didn’t have time to plan out him facing someone else. He was most likely going to beat Goldberg who was on his way out. To the point that I missed out, I didn’t even know the Brock news until the night of wm when I saw the reaction
The Fiend vs. Randy Orton. Wasnt expecting a 5 star classic or anything but that match was terrible
Even though Sheamus is my favorite wrestler, that WM 28 match is inexcusable. As a kid, I did like the match though because Sheamus won
0:55 he said doodoo😭
Ambrose/Moxley came on abit to strong to Lesnar with the pitch for the match apparently wanting to over the top hardcore match stuff and I think Brock thought he was a bit of a goof after that so he just wanted to do the minimum and leave.
Its actually the Big Dog Roman Reigns who broke the street and last time I saw it was 24-1
8:12 wait Paul heyman not break Undertaker streak .
Roman Break. Undertaker's Streak not Wise man paul heyman
So Drew McIntyre can be BROCK LESNAR IN 5 minutes, but can’t be Seth Rollins in 15 minutes??, I really don’t get it sometimes
I don’t really get why, people are hating the fact that Brock Lesnar beat the Undertakers streak. Brock Lesnar had still returned over 2 years before from being In the UFC becoming a real fighter. Anyone else ending the Undertakers steak would have Been good but, but people would still have the same feeling as they do for Brock Lesnar doing it, The WWE should have just left the streak alone.
I’m currently at the beginning of the video but all I know that WM32 better not be Roman vs HHH and it better be Brock vs Ambrose
it is brock and ambrose
Sheamus v Daniel Bryan is a pure shit.
I understand keeping taker a surprise (or kind of surprise) so i can forgive the lack of feud a little bit. BUT I am with the idea that the match shouldn’t have been a squash. It’s JOHN CENA and UNDERTAKER. No matter how old or young, this should’ve been more than what it was
Thing with Brock is that they didn't know he was done until like 2 or 3 weeks before 'Mania. They had already been promoting and building that match, so they were kinda stuck
I think it was more of COVID situation. Brock probably didn't want to sign a new contract to wrestle in front of 0 crowds. And the fact that he started wrestling in front of no one and ended up wrestling his last match in front of no one, it was like a full cycle so he retired.
Andddd 2021 happened.
@@Cattail4546 I was referring to WM20 in 2004. Only a few weeks before the match with Goldberg (who WWE already knew was going to leave after mania), Brock informed them he was done, too.
Brock only shows up to work on SummerSlam & Survivor Series
Day 64 SANTI MAKE A VID ABOUT THE BESR STIPULATION MATCH FROM 2020-2023 EXAMPLES BEST HIAC,BEST MITB BEST ONE ON ONE
Cena and Taker a couple years ago was a bummer because it was 2 retired SuperSuperStars in the mid card because it needed time consuming moments Cena and Taker at Wrestlemania 24 would’ve been a banger that was the last couple years of their respective primes taker was old but Cena and taker coulda walked each other the whole match at that time
Hey man what hoodie is that?
Brock v Goldberg shouldn't have been Brock vs Goldberg. Goldberg cost Lesnar WWE title. So Lesnar should have got his rematch. So Eddie minimum should have been there with Kurt Angle who was eventually added. A Fatal 4 way with those 4 would have been so much better than what it was.
IMO that Theory Cena match wouldn’t have elevated him even if it was good. I’m down for younger stars getting wins over legends but if the fans don’t want to see the younger guy win, they’re not going to care if he does
To be honest it shouldnt have taken accusations to realise Brock was a beast but never really had a good match.
Nah Brock’s Wrestlemania matches either went way too long or way too short. His only good match at mania was with angle. Lesnars summerslam matches are among the best
Realise how brock lesner is another “that doesn’t work for me brother” many matches over the years where didn’t want to drop the title or put a young talent over
I keep forgetting that John Cena vs. Austin Theory was a actual match that happened
Yeah
I mean it could’ve been a good match, Austin theory winning wasn’t a terrible decision, the match was just booked terribly
@@ProdigyEraNetworkit was a Bad call so he beat cena and that should take him to the next lavel where is he now jobbing to every one if am cena i would have been so mad why have him put thoery over only to see him turning in to a jobber is like cana putting him over was pointless
I think that these days MOST fans are a lot smarter about the business. The crowd reactions prove it all the time.
True and what's the worst part is that Manias 32, 33, 34, and 35 were all way too long! Dead crowds really killed a lot of matches
@@zanethind Agreed. I sure am glad they have two nights now.
@@HeelSection3825 yeah
AJ styles vs Nakamura at WrestleMania 34 is a terrible match one of the most boring WWE Championship matches I’ve ever seen
First thing I thought of was Cena vs Undertaker. Honestly it shouldnt have even happened if thats what we were going to get imo.
AJ Styles vs Edge is probably the most disappointing and underwhelming match/feud that I have ever seen. And at the time that was on my list for dream matches😤
Need to do a top 10 promos best and worst
He should have ended the streak but he should have either had a banger or if taker has to be injured brock should have squashed him with a few Germans and 1 5F for shock I know taker kicked out of the pedigree and sweet chin music but if he can’t even kick out of 1 F5 then brock looks like a fucking killer even more
I know Brock was here a lot but it wouldn’t have hurt to have Roman vs Brock WM34 on here
Edge vs Aj Styles wm 38
Aj styles vs nakamara was so disappointing
One of these days can you rank every Raw women’s champion or/ and smackdown women’s championship. Since the title are now gone?
