WrestleMania Weekend Was Epic

Holy crap! I don't even know where to begin. WrestleMania weekend was just epic. NXT, Ring of Honor, WrestleMania...they were all amazing events. At one point, I was in the bathroom surrounded by Scott Hall and Sean Waltman aka X-Pac. I had a smoke break with Sabu. I ran into Ron Simmons while trying to catch a cab. I was living a wrestling fans wet dream. Now, I understand why people blow tons of money annually just to attend the event...because there is truly nothing like it in the world.

I guess for the sake of this blog, we'll start with Ring of Honor. I've been a huge ROH fan for years. The matches between CM Punk and Raven, Steen and Generico and others are legendary. While the current line up isn't quite as epic as that at the moment, they do have extremely talented guys that we'll probably see jump to the WWE in coming years.

Colt Cabana made his big ROH return this past weekend with a win over champ Jay Lethal. But the coolest moment in the ring was witnessing the power of the Young Bucks. I think they are one of the best tag teams on the planet, but TV do not do those guys justice. Not only did the crowd get behind them 100%, but they hit some amazing moves that I didn't even think were physically possible. They're performance was....wait for it, wait for it....TOO SWEET!

The main event of the weekend, of course, was WrestleMania 32 at Cowboys Stadium. Words cannot accurately describe the scene. It was like nothing I've ever seen or experienced. I've been to other wrestling events, I've been to huge music festivals...but in all honesty, everything pales in comparison.

When Greg and I were walking up, the mass of people was just mind blowing. 50 thousand fans waiting to get in. Random New Day chants and Ric Flair 'WOOOOOOOO's filled the air. There was an electricity in the air that made you excited to be there.

Now, as far as the matches go, it was an excellent minus the main event featuring Roman Reigns and Triple H. Zack Ryder winning the Intercontinental Championship was just awesome. The Hell in a Cell match moved at a slow pace but was still pretty awesome...for a guy that hasn't wrestled in a decade, Shane McMahon was awesome. Baron Corbin going over in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal was an amazing moment for a talent that deserved a push. Overall, the show gets a 7.75/10. It was far from perfect but with all the injuries, they still managed to put on one hell of a show.

All in all, I'm still just in awe. This was an experience that can't be matched. More than the money and the matches, I had experiences that money couldn't buy. Seriously...I was sandwiched between the NWO and you can't buy memories like those.
