That would depress me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Roman Reigns joins Hulk Hogan as the only wrestler to main event four WrestleMania events in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; This doesn&#8217;t quite match the amazing atmosphere Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns captured together at WrestleMania 31. They had something truly special that night (and the ending made it an all time great match). This isn&#8217;t giving me those vibes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Roman Reigns is great at getting beat up. Like, when he gets tossed around, it&#8217;s really something. Reigns is good at professional wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Wasn&#8217;t the whole last year, including Lesnar easily rolling over Braun Strowman, all to set up Reigns kicking out of the F-5? He just kicked out of two. The crowd is silent. That&#8217;s depressing.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/bruiserbrady\/status\/983192434262855682<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Since his last match with Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar has had exactly one good match. It&#8217;s been years. Brock Lesnar is bad at professional wrestling. Roman Reigns is pretty good at it, and being dragged down tonight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Hour #6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What the hell was that? Brock Lesnar makes Roman Reigns bleed a gallon of blood and his awful title reign continues? This is really bad. Like, what a weird and awful ending to an otherwise great show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; This is the first year in a while that we&#8217;re getting the instant post-show video package of WrestleMania. I used to love these! I mean, listening to Kid Rock is depressing as hell and this show ended in a cavalcade of sadness, but still.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The show cut back to Roman walking out. That&#8217;s super awkward. Are we waiting for something to happen?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Pruett writes about wrestling and popular culture at prowrestling.net.
