Chris King was live in Arlington, Texas for the most “stupendous” WrestleMania Night 2. These are the biggest takeaways and thoughts of the grand event. 

The Game Is Sadly Over

The moment Triple He’s music hit the whole stadium came unglued. A huge roar came from the crowd myself included. It was an awesome and somber moment when he left his boots in the ring. I believe HHH will be inducted into next year’s hall of fame.

RKBro Is Fantastic 

If anyone had told me two years ago that Randy Orton and Matt Riddle would be the Raw Tag Team Champions, I would have thought you were nuts. Somehow though this pairing works and it’s a well-oiled machine. Both superstars delivered the goods including a perfectly-timed RKO from the top rope. Man, it was so cool to see. WWE should keep them together until SummerSlam or longer and then Randy can be Randy again.

Bobby Lashley Is A True Masterpiece

When Omos vs. Bobby Lashley was announced I wasn’t interested at all, that was until I saw how freaking powerful he is. The Almighty truly impressed me and well my girlfriend too who I have to thank for this moment.

Celebrity Matches Are Fun Live

On paper or in an article everyone would give such a match as Johnny Knoxville vs. Sami Zayn a C grade, but when you’re there live it’s a whole other ballgame. The crowd erupts after every outrageous and hilarious stunt and it makes you think twice about WWE’s logic. This was a really fun match.

Pat McAfee Gets His Spotlight

Pat Mcafee has been such a highlight for Friday Night SmackDown for months now, and I was stoked for his match. I fondly remember his amazing match with Adam Cole in NXT so I was excited. What nobody was expecting was this turning into a match with the boss and Stone Cold Steve Austin ending it with a stunner.

Stone Cold Is Still Money 

It could be in the 90s or the 2000s or any freaking era and Stone Cold still delivers. The moment that glass breaks everyone goes completely nuts.  I remember watching Austin raise hell when I was a kid and he still can sell out arenas! What the hell kind of a sell do you call that Vince? Austin Theory sold it amazing though!

A Dream Come True

In 1999 I attended my very first live event for WWE and got to relish in The Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness theme. The deadman took on Stone Cold and it was a great night of wrestling. Fast forward to the 2003 Survivor Series when Taker was buried alive by his brother Kane and Vince McMahon, but I always dreamed of seeing The Deadman’s official Gong and pyro entrance. For the last time, I was there live to experience the grand entrance for one of if not the greatest to ever lace up the wrestling boots. Thank you, Taker.

Edge Is The King Of Trilogies 

I may be beginning to see a trend here when it comes to Edge, his greatness comes in threes. The first was with Orton although the third was halted due to an injury, The Rated-R Superstar did the same with Seth Rollins, and now it appears his next trilogy will include AJ Styles. While this dream match didn’t set the pace as I thought it would, the main focus was on Edge playing his foe like a damn fiddle.

Adding Damian Priest into his fold will set up their next match for WrestleMania Backlash, and the finale at SummerSlam. I’m all for these two veterans continuing this story and adding layers of creativity. Edge should always play the heel, he’s such a badass bad guy.

Brock And Roman’s Greatest Hits

Right during the promo videos me and my crew went to a standing section to see both of these superstars’ amazing entrances. I have never seen Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar’s entrance live and damn it was cool as hell. Whoever donned this the greatest main event ever was clearly on drugs. This match was more like both juggernauts delivering their greatest hits.

It honestly was more like Lesnar’s previous matches with Reigns before becoming “The Head of The Table”. Paul Heyman tricked “The Beast Incarnate” into eating a massive spear through the barricade. I was only rooting for Reigns for one reason only.

A Missed Opportunity 

There seemed to be a trend with Roman Reigns after defeating his challengers, to stand over them and chant “Acknowledge Me” but instead WWE decided he do this before the match began. The question heard around the world is who can stop “The Tribal Chief?” There’s only one superstar and that’s The Rock. Next year’s Mania is in Hollywood and what better way to set up than to have “The Great One” come out and confront his cousin? Unfortunately, for whatever reason WWE didn’t have The Rock come back. I felt this would have been the perfect time for him to come back but I guess we’ll have to wait patiently for The Rock. Until then we have no choice but to acknowledge our WWE Undisputed Universal Champion!

This was my first WrestleMania and it was such an awesome experience. I never would have been able to make this dream a reality, if it wasn’t for my girlfriend. If you’ve never gone I would encourage you to go and attend “The Showcase of the Immortals!”
