5 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 34
2. Kid 'N Play
As evidenced by certain supershows away from the 'Grandest Stage', modern-era WWE will do anything for money, and will go almost as far just to generate buzz, numbers and hype. Hoying a kid in the ring to win a title on the biggest show of the year was a moment to be ranked not with stars or in reviews such as these, but by the thousands of likes, shares and retweets images such as the one above generated on their various social media feeds.
To this end, it could broadly be considered a success. But watched out of context, the entire ordeal is an artless, humourless contravention of character development.
Braun Strowman battered The Bar with ease, but the entire match was undermined by the preposterous visual created by poor Nicholas' over-awed expression. There are times and places to do this mad sh*te, but WrestleMania and WWE in general were neither of those things.
