If the last few years has taught us anything. It's that In sport there is one element you need that you can't buy . In fact that element will pay to be there.
They are the fans and without them live sport is a very different underwhelming atmosphere lacking event.
No match results here or spoilers just a look at the night. Nakamura entrance is always magic on the biggest stage let's you know this is wrestlermania in a tag team title match opening good match. Mysterio father son team, tagging against the miz and YouTuber Logan Paul was surprising good . What the WWE did brilliantly tonight was hype the matches if you have not been present in the WWE universe for the last two years. It's does not matter. A very good back story for all matches. Drew McIntyre v Corbin feels like a wrestlermania match. Then Becky lynch Bianca Belair steal the show strongest match of day for me. Seth Rollins v mystery opponent is a return from wrestlings past. Flair Rousey adding more quality to the night. Finishing with Stone Cold on the kevin Owen show. I am not sure what I was expecting. Wrestling without fans was unwatchable for me, This felt like it was wrestling at it best stone cold might have returned home to Texas , but wrestling returned home to where it belongs in front a energy filled crowd. Well done WWE great first day.
Day 2 mark walberg. Warns at the show's beginning that sequels are not often not as good and this is true of these two nights not that the second night is bad just a high bar set from the first round. Triple H following resent announcement of retirement opens the show. The big surprises of night was the none wrestling involvement Johnny Knoxville involved in a very entertaining match. Pat McAfee not only delivered in the ring but on mic to. Shades of the late great Roddy piper's wildness where you feel anything could be said . With the cleverness of Bobby the brain I know this is very high praise. Then it not very often you hear someone on the mic at there beginning and think yes you perfect for the role. A fatal four way for the women tag team title was another strong match. The night would end with the biggest match in wrestling history both titles Reigns v Lesnar. I do wonder how far down the list of main events this could fall maybe over hype didn't help. When I think of the iconic face to faces The electricity in the room fan anticipation of matches like Andre v Hogan ,Rock v stone cold ,Lynch Flair Rousey ,Angle Lesner , warrior hogan. These where the reason you tuned in . I didn't feel it from the crowd and it all became a little bit of an anticlimax to an amazing two days.
