WrestleMania 30: What you missed and what were the High's and Low's
The Road to
WrestleMania's final destination has led us all to the biggest wrestling
extravaganza of 2014 - WWE WrestleMania XXX! The 30th anniversary celebration
of WWE's past, present and future will feature a wide array of great matches
and unforgettable moments.
The results of
WWE's WrestleMania 30 are in, so it's time for us to look back on the evening
and break down the highlights and low points that made the event what it was.
The Biggest Highlight of the night was undoubtedly - Hulk Hogan, Austin and The Rock in one ring. However, this was truly an epic moment to showcase the legacy of WrestleMania.
Both older fans who have followed WWE for the past 30 years
and newer ones who appreciate the history giggled and cheered at this sight.
Whether it was Hulk Hogan's flub, where
he mixed up the Silverdome and Superdome, the bevy of catchphrases that the
crowd could get behind or the atmosphere itself, this was an amazing way to
start off the night.
Low point can be a disappointing match of John Cena vs Bray Wyatt: The slow pace
of the match was tough to swallow since everything before it was packed with
action.
Even worse, the fans appeared to be supportive of Bray Wyatt
instead of John Cena, but the way it was booked was clearly designed to create
the opposite feeling.
If the whole point of the match was for the audience to feel
Cena's struggle, but the crowd couldn't have cared less, then the contest fell
flat.
Another low point was Divas Championship invitation: Any fan with
their head on straight knew that this match would turn out to be a giant mess,
and it surely didn't shock anyone when that actually happened.
Having all of these women in the ring at the same time was a
recipe for disaster, considering how only a few of them can be trusted to
wrestle a decent match.
While the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal had rules
that allow for some leeway with a large quantity of performers, this was a
one-fall disaster.
And we come to the lowest point and one of the biggest shock of the night: The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar - This was yet
another match that was far too slow for its own good. Having to follow John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt meant that momentum
was already not on their side.
Lesnar's entrance felt long, and The Undertaker's naturally
was, but there was nothing special this year that we haven't seen before to
liven that up.
Then, instead of starting off with a bang, this match almost
literally limped on. Lesnar attacked Undertaker's legs, which went on longer
than anyone would have wanted it to go. This match was already facing an uphill
battle with a poor build, and the in-ring action didn't save it.
After a disappointing setup and match, ending The Streak was
a perfect way to finish a giant low point.
Highlight finally towards the end: Daniel Bryan Wins
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - The one big thing
that WrestleMania 30 was about this year, above all else, was the story of
Daniel Bryan's triumph over The Authority. Accomplishing this was an epic tale
from start to finish, going all the way back to SummerSlam 2013.
With such a long build and so many different ups and downs
along the road, anything short of Bryan winning the WWE World Heavyweight
Championship would have been a travesty.
This is going to be one of those moments in WWE history that
is referred to for years to come and used in constant video packages.
