Night 1 of Wrestlemania deserves a C+

I’ll say C as I’ve not seen my guy Fatu v Drew yet as I thought this started at 12am not 11pm GMT

 

[Jacob Fox]

I am happy that Cody won. Never really liked Orton

I am not huge on either guy. I have never understood the Orton obsession. I don't think he is nearly as good as everyone says.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Well I have to admit I had a crush on Phil... I liked the blonde spikey hair and the "Chick Magnet" personality. But I was really into backyard wrestling back then. I almost got involved in actually but decided watching it was better

You got the YouTube channel which is pretty cool .

 

[Sha-J Lee]

I’ll give it a questionable B-

He doesn't have the same drive that other people in his spot have had in the past. He doesn't have that same passion, motivation and drive that AJ Styles, Chris Benoit, Stone Cold and Bret Hart had. Plus, he's never really been the most well rounded wrestler

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I’ll catch you all tomorrow. Is it 11pm for British fans ? Just so I don’t miss the first hour like earlier ?

YES! Thank you man! You explained clearly what I thought

 

[Tommy Shelby]

It’s ran for 3hours 55mins

Yeah I really don't know. He is a good technician but doesnt have that WOW factor for me

 

[Jacob Fox]

But yeah, this was just the warm up

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Yeah I really don't know. He is a good technician but doesnt have that WOW factor for me

Get what you mean . Just think for me personally he’s the last of the originals who still do this each week and it adds a nostalgia feeling for one personally. We all have our own tastes mate and that’s what makes it more fun , when we all chat as there’s a plethora of contrasting tastes.

 

[Sha-J Lee]

Orton is a mixed bag. He can be amazing when he wants to but has been criticized for being lazy at points.

 

[Deadd2009]

Paige just said WWE was her home on the post show...she didn't mind shitting on them while in AEW lol

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I’m not watching yeet bros and LA v The Vision or is a good match @Jacob Fox ?
