WrestleMania 35 ended on a bit of a bum note when, after a monstrous 50-hour show, the apex of Becky Lynch's arch seemingly came with a botched pin.

Fans didn't know how to react when referee Rod Zapata counted three despite the fact Ronda Rousey's shoulders weren't quite fully on the mat. The official was in a sticky situation; he obviously knew the moment was the planned finish, but like all refs, was working under the instruction to treat every bout 'as real'. As a result, he was left stuck twixt the proverbial rock/hard place.

After the fact, Vince McMahon was apparently furious, receiving a fine for counting the correct end to the contest. Job's a bad 'un.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
