Mediocre ‘Mania (Travis Scott in the main event the year after Finish The Story? Really?) but that pop for Joe Hendry made my day. So great to see a guy living his dream have 60,000 people cheering for him, and that RKO out of the camera zoom was an all-timer.

Night 2 might have been even worse than Night 1. The main event was significantly worse for Night 2 than it was for Night 1 that is for sure. From bad matches like the Street Fight (weird that this 'Mania was completely bloodless, I thought blood was back again in WWE?) just find it hard to care about hardcore matches without colour, especially given some of the ludicrous stuff Wade was saying on commentary. I found its absence was felt in the main event, too. Two exposed turnbuckle shots, and a title to the face, and not a drop of colour? Yet Cody got busted open to set all this up? Weird. Everything else on the card felt like an endless collection of glorified bathroom breaks. The only thing that saved this show from being just a complete waste of time was the Woman’s Triple, and the Intercontinental Fourway.
I'm surprised The Rock didn't show up for the main event. With him being involved in Cena's heel turn, I was sorta expecting him to make an appearance. Not that I watched it anyway as I was asleep.
It's difficult to enjoy it when idiots like Speed (at RR) and Logan Paul are on the screen. Immediate switch off.
@Tasuki I'm probably in the minority here, but at least Logan Paul is talented in the ring. I was more annoyed with Travis Scott showing up in the main event. He really has no place. At least Logan Paul can wrestle.
Dirty Dom's win, and the IC match, were the best part of Night 2 for me. Crowd LOVED him. He couldn't quite believe that part. He didn't change a thing about him, just like Eddie, and he can be heel or face it seems. I agree, Travis Scott and his 'Hardcore' (???) title was just....so deflating. It is depressing how hung up they are for non-wrestling celebs to be involved in such a big way. Cardi B to host Summerslam? Yeesh. Night 1's main event was far more interesting and left me wanting to see what happens next though. Lol. The custody of Paul Heyman broke my heart to see Roman Reign's face so sad. I can't believe 5 years of having his wiseman.....over...
Cody losing the title to Cena. I feel very little about just now :/.
R.I.P. to the hard-core legend Sabu. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time. He had so many incredible matches. Definitely going to be watching some old ECW matches tonight.

Damn another legend of my childhood gone, first Ozzy now Hulk Hogan. This one hurts as much as Ozzy. The same way Ozzy got me into metal Hulk got me into wrestling. I was one of the little Hulksters their in the eighties eating my vitamins and saying my prayers. I know later on in life he was exposed for the kind of man he was, but that doest change what he did for the wrestling business. Without him there wouldn't have been a Rock, Stone Cold or even Cena. There wouldn't have been a Wrestlemania. Rest easy sir. Thoughts go out to your family, friend and millions of Hulkamanics.

WWE has to do a 10-bell salute on Smackdown, right? It is sad his last moment with the company was what it was with the boos.
I am sure not just WWE will do something but AEW, TNA, NWA, and many others will do something for him. Despite what kind of person he was, he did alot for the business and there wouldn't be much of one weren't for him.

@Tasuki For sure. He WAS the business for some in the mid 80s to early 90s. For years after, even non-wrestling fans knew wrestling was 'that thing Hulk Hogan did' and was their main association of it.

Please look into what Hulk Hogan has done in the past. He deserved that treatment and more. Legend or not. I hope they boo him again. You reap what you sow.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Not sure how to feel about this. He was very important to the wrestling industry, for many he was the face of wrestling. But over the years stories of him killing other people's pushes and careers, including Jesse Ventura who wanted to unionize, definitely caught up to him, and that's before you bring up the racism
@NintendoByNature I am going to watch Smackdown's tribute to him tonight. I haven't watched any current WWE product since Wrestlemania but I want to see the tribute.

Damn I couldnt do it last night. I watched the opening of Smackdow and saw the tribute to Hogan, but after that I couldnt watch no more. The opening after tbe tribute consisted of Paul Logan and some fat ***** named Jelly Roll??? What the hell was I watching. Seriously who was next a guy name Cream Puff??? They couldnt even start with two wrestlers just two guys who have no business in a wrestling ring. This is what WWE has become?
