33 Awesome GIFs Telling The Stories Of 33 WWE WrestleMania Pay-Per-Views

1. WrestleMania 33

WWE WrestleMania 33 The Undertaker Roman Reigns

Entertaining in patches but ultimately exhausting, it was difficult not to empathise with the Undertaker as he laboured to set up Roman's Tombstone: his plight mirrored that of a thoroughly shattered audience at the close of WrestleMania 33.

The GIF tells a layered story surely approaching its conclusion. A leaden ‘Taker had given his body to the fans for decades; it was little wonder that he could not give himself to Reigns for this botched Tombstone reversal spot.

Emblematic of a part-timer era fading in its power, we can only hope ‘Taker does what ‘Taker does on April 8: prove us wrong.
