9 Ups And 11 Downs From WrestleMania 32
Was WrestleMania 32 all smoke and mirrors?
WWEs hyperbole machine will be in full swing in the coming days and weeks, as the company will undoubtedly tell anyone who will listen repeatedly how WrestleMania XXXII was the biggest and best of all time. The company will cite the appearances of megastars like the Rock (including an impromptu match), Steve Austin, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels, as well as a surprise appearance by John Cena, a death-defying leap off Hell in a Cell, and tons of fireworks.
Oh, and WWE will almost certainly try to sell everyone on how much everyone loves Roman Reigns and that he persevered to dispatch of the hated Authority, making him the most popular guy on the roster, right? The Roman Empires renaissance is upon us, and WWE is confident that this not Shane McMahon will usher in change for the company moving forward.
