WrestleMania 30 Reactions

Without a doubt, WrestleMania 30 will go down in history as one of the most surprising WrestleMania's in history. This event will always have a love hate relationship and was the first time in a long time that I was left with my mouth gaped open in shock. So it's only right that I write some of my reactions. Now I missed the preshow so I'll just start off and say that I'm glad the Usos retained and I hope to see more from them in the future. Now let's look at the matches.

Daniel Bryan vs Triple H
-As a huge Mortal Kombat fan I was a big supporter of Triple H entering as Shao Kahn. This is a match, however, that I need to rewatch. It was solid but it didn't really blow me away so I think a rewatch will do me good. Triple H definitely felt out of practice and at this point I prefer him in a suit, but still a solid match and an explosive win that left me excited for the main event.


The Shield vs Kane and the New Age Outlaws
- This match was incredibly abrupt and therefore pointless, especially since everyone knew The Shield was going to win anyway. However te Shield always gives 110% so even though the match was short, their domination was well performed.


Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale
- I love a good over the top rope match. If not entertaining it's always a good oppurtunity for Kofi Kingston to perform a miraculous save and this one was pretty epic and looked incredibly painful. A launch over the rope onto the steps with a foot save, nice job! Now was there any doubt Cesaro was going to win? Cesaro is amazing and deserved the win but I didn't see him body slamming Big Show coming at all and that was just as legendary as when Hogan did it to Andre. That mans strength is impressive!


John Cena vs Bray Wyatt
- You know, if the WWE really wants to surprise us then John Cena should lose at Wrestlemania. I think everyone wanted to see Bray take this one. The match was good but predictable. Bray is definitely a highlight among the new roster and I hope to see him continue his great gimmick.


Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker
- I will probably write a whole post in this at some point, but there is no way that ANYONE saw this coming. 21-1 (while sounding really lame) is never something I expected to see. I was always on the side of Undertaker should retire undefeated but it's the kind of situation where after it's happened you dwell on it until you realize its okay. This will easily go down in history as one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history, and we will forever have one of the greatest reaction memes of all time.


Vickie Guerrero Diva Invitational
- I love a good mess of a match where there are too many people in the ring at once. This one was actually decently worked. There are really only two standout moments for me. When AJ and Tamina got pused to the center and surrounded and when the Bella twins faced off against each other. Other than that I was just mostly surprised AJ won but losing to Paige on RAW the next night was so much sweeter!


Batista vs Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan
- An amazing main event that lead to the end of one of the greatest underdog stories in wrestling history. Daniel Bryan HAD to win this match, especially after Taker lost. It was a great match and that Batista Bomb to RKO through the table was epic. This will be a moment to rewatch for years to come and ended one of the most influential WrestleMania's ever. Love it or hate, WrestleMania 30 made history and was one hell of a show.


Post Wrestlemania RAW
- We are clearly in a new era. Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Rusev, and Paige all making their debuts, a young and worth champion, and The Shield standing against the authority (surrounding Triple H was amazing) proves that the WWE is heading in a new direction and I'm behind it 100%. So what did you think of WrestleMania and the post RAW? Leave your thoughts in the comments and as always you can find me on Twitter @advent_crash.

Quick Wrestlemania 30 Predictions

So Wrestlemania 30 is this Sunday and I thought I'd run down some quick predictions for each match on the card. Not a lot of talk here, just some quick predictions.


The Tag Team Title match
- This match was moved to the preshow which is a bummer but I think/hope the Usos retain their titles. They're a great and entertaining tag team and with their presence as part of Total Divas (or at least one of them) I think they will want to keep the attention on the Usos for a little longer.


The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale
- This is a 30 man match with only 27 announced spots so I think we will have some surprise entrants (probably at least 1 legend) and one of the surprise entrants will probably take it. No I don't think Cm Punk will be one of them!


Diva's Championship Invitational
- I think we are all curious as to what this match will actually be but I'm betting AJ Lee will lose the title to one of the Total Divas. My money is on Brie Bella but if not then I would say Snooka's daughter since she's been AJ's muscle.


The Shield vs Kane and the New Age Outlaws
- The Shield, win or lose, will begin their split here. It's been teased for months and something will happen during this match to officially plant that seed. However I could see Reigns pulling out the win despite any mishaps.


Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar
- 22-0.


Triple H vs Daniel Bryan
- If Daniel Bryan loses this match then the  WWE should probably lock all of the doors to keep the rioting as contained as possible. The audience can't burn down the building they are trapped inside! This may be the show stealer match.


John Cena vs Bray Wyatt
- Oh how I want Cena to lose this match! Cena has won a lot of times in his career. Just once I'd like to see him put someone else over for once. Unfortunately I think Cena will win.


Randy Orton vs Batista vs TBD
- Bryan will be in this match, hands down. Do I think he will win? Absolutely not. Do I think he should win? Absolutely. The Yes Movement is very powerful. The WWE would be foolish to miss a chance to have thousands of people cheering their most popular superstar at a landmark Wrestlemania. Unfortunately I have a sick feeling that Batista will win since he originally came in as a face and was probably planned to win from the start. The WWE rearranged their plans to get Bryan in the event, but I'm. It sure they will change their planned outcome. It would be a great surprise if they did though. Either way, Orton is losing.

So those are my predictions. Do you share my opinions or feel another way? Sound off your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to follow me on Twitter @advent_crash.
