20 Reasons Why WWE WrestleMania 37 Was An Absolute BLAST

16. Omos Rules!

The modern pro wrestling big man is a multi-tool player with athleticism belying their size, allowing them to pull off the kind of eyeball-popping feats typically associated with wrestlers half their size.

Omos isn't that. This is a good thing.

Much love to Keith Lee and Lance Archer, who are excellent at what they do (and amongst the most impressive wrestlers in the world), but Omos fills a niche that they cannot. He practices an older style - and practices it well.

Omos is a traditional wrestling monster. A hulking 7'3" brute, he didn't stand out for his athleticism at WrestleMania 37, but because he's a beast. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods bounced off him in a high-effort defensive performance that saw Omos clean house before scoring a dominant pinfall, his foot planted on Kofi's chest. He couldn't have hoped for a better introduction heading into the event.

There's an art to booking around a wrestler's limitations and if WWE can keep presenting Omos as effectively as they did at 'Mania, they have a fun prospect on their hands.
