I was trying to explain it to the casuals and I couldn't. 'Reigns wants the title and hates triple H, who runs the company' was the best I could do.
I kept saying 'hold on, something good is going to happen' but it just didn't. I honestly thought they would swerve us somehow but it just .. went on. It was so, so, so bad. Taker Shane was okay, if slow. But that main event, man. That's two grade-A 'Mania stinkers for HHH in a row.”
At least his Mania 31 match had some entertainment with the random interferences. He's had a mixed bag at Mania recently really.
Mania 27 and 28 - Split opinion but I think very watchable matches with Taker.
Mania 29 - Yawntastic match with Lesnar with a nonsensical 'If HHH loses, he retires' stipulation.
Mania 30 - Great match with Bryan
Mania 31 - Interesting match with Sting
Mania 32 - Disaster of a main event.
