18 WWE WrestleMania 36 Impulse Reactions
10. The Undertaker Vs. AJ Styles
This was an experience.
Your writer was not manipulated to orgasmic issue over the predictably campy Boneyard Match, though the majority of the online response suggested this was an overwhelming success. In the interest of supporting consensus, let's look at the massive positives.
It was, at least, a main event that felt like a headline attraction. The prospect of Braun Strowman circling that empty ring in that empty gym with the empty sentiment of his Universal Title win wouldn't have been on par with The Undertaker speeding away on his bike, AJ Styles left behind (almost) dead and buried.
It was entirely botch-free, thanks to the gift of the edit. 'Taker looked and felt timeless again, rather than the polar opposite as he had during their live interactions with one another.
Folk also really like the American Bad *ss or lean on the nostalgia of it or some sh*t too, so there's that.
Ultimately, this was, for some, an escape. On a show where the reminder of what could have been was all too apparent, this must have been an extremely welcome feeling. It was, subsequently, quite an achievement. Good for them, and if you enjoyed it, good for you. It was House Of Horrors but with wrestlers you like, but good for you.
