10 Biggest Holy Sh*t Moments From WrestleMania 36 Night One

No crowd, definitely didn't mean no bat sh*t crazy bumps!

With the first night of WrestleMania 36 now in the bank, what have we learned?

We'll never take a live audience for granted ever again.

JBL wasn't missed on commentary.

But, more importantly we learned that a lack of crowd didn't mean a lack of insane spots and moments that left us violently tweeting things like 'WTF! Mojo just screwed Gronk?!'

Instead, the absence of a rampant atmosphere in the Performance Center (and Boneyard) actually seemed to force the stars on show into going the extra mile in order to make those usual bumps and jaw-dropping moments look that little bit more brutal for the folks watching at home.

Either that or the empty arena just made everything sound 1000% more excruciating.

Whatever the reasons, 'Mania 36 Part I definitely didn't skimp on 'Holy Sh*t!' events and at the very least we'll have a few memorable spots to look back on in a typically well edited WWE highlight package in the future.

It may not have been a typical Show of Shows by any stretch of the imagination, but we were still spoilt with ladder savagery, suicide drops and burials a plenty (not that kind).

That being said, holy sh*t 'Mania 36 Part I was odd.

10. Elias Nails King Corbin With An Acoustic Set

Ladies and Gentleman, Elias...isn't dead.

After falling to his doom on SmackDown a few weeks back, Elias made his triumphant return last night at WrestleMania 36. What a moment, ey?

King Corbin was in the midst of demanding a forfeit victory due to Elias' obvious absence when the man, the myth, the legend himself shocked the world and strolled back into the PC with his trusty six string resting on his shoulder.

Not wasting time with niceties, Corbin attempted to rush his rival, only for Elias to evade his attack and nail him with a sickening acoustic guitar strike.

Now, we've all seen guitar bumps a thousand times before, so this was nothing new. However, the hideous sound of the instrument snapping over Corbin's back was amplified substantially in the echoey building, thus making this moment considerably more savage than expected.

Predictably, the rest of the match didn't live up to this early brutality, but that didn't matter.

We weren't anticipating a 5* classic between these two brawlers. In fact, all we needed was Corbin getting his ass thoroughly handed to him.

We got that piece of back breaking musical carnage, now let's move on and forget the ensuing match ever happened.
