So wait. Where are the hosts of Wrestlemania during all of this? Did they get scrapped?

Titus and Hogan should have done some improv for 30 minutes. Total dereliction of duty imo.

Is this Hogan's "I cant be racist, I cohosted with a black guy!" Moment?

Ha, it did hit my ear different when he called Titus "brother."

MVP cannot exist on my TV screen without me having traumatic flashbacks to him doing the "ballin'!" thing during matches.

Hey if Titus can get over it we all should. /s

But also we’ve all said really shitty shitty things in private.

Meh, Hogan has long seemed like a pretty bad guy for a number of reasons not related to the racial stuff.

But character stuff aside, he's also just not an entertaining presence anymore, even just to cut a few quick promos. If you want to trot out a legend for this role, go with someone like Mick Foley IMO.

I couldn't get into that opener. Nothing really wrong with it, but it didn't grab me at all.

Have no idea about betting odds or anything, but I’m stunned by that result.

Cool with it though, they better keep the belt on him for a while now

I disagree. It's very rare you see two physical specimen like those two fight a match that doesn't turn into nothing but finishers and kickouts. They showed a diverse moveset (Drew's flip over the top rope got a pop from me), and Lashley going over was a huge surprise to me.

I mean, I know it's not Daniel Bryan kicking his opponent 67 times in twenty minutes but it was still pretty great.

Do not put Kevin Nash on my screen unless you have hired someone to dive at his knees.

AEW has made me really appreciate the hoss fight so I liked it a lot. I'm really surprised Lashley won and kind of think it's the wrong call given how into Drew the crowd was. Still feels like Drew eventually beats him, maybe at Summerslam?

I'd have much rather seen Naomi continue.

Just wanna say how hilarious (and pathetic for wwe) that they broke up the IIconics (who were awesome) because they ‘wanted to push Peyton Royce’.

Flash forward X months later: 10 women in a single mania match. Billie Kay in (and featured prominently on SD), Royce way way out

Tamina particularly shouldn't want to live off her family name.

Gotta say, that corkscrew splash was one of the rare times that additional acrobatics in a move didn't just seem like masturbation. The corkscrew actually made it look more effective.
