4. Most Shocking Moment: The Hardy Boyz Return

This was great for two reasons. 1) whilst the Hardyz' did seem imminent, an immediate return to action on WrestleMania itself seemed pure fantasy. 2) it prevented the tag team ladder match from being, well, a bit sh*t.

In fact, it was one of the most thrilling bouts on the card, the excitement of the Hardyz' unexpected return energising the crowd to a level rarely reached throughout the rest of the night. The difference actual heat makes to a match is alarming, and when a decidedly non-Broken Matt unhooked the titles from their little coat-hanger thing, the whole place went not just bananas, but pineapples too. It was as strikingly shocking as that streak of white hair on his head.

Runner-up: Mojo Rawley wins the Andre Memorial Trophy.

WrestleMania 33 was otherwise thin on the ground for surprises. Mojo claiming victory in the battle royal wasn't exactly seismic in its shock, but it was obviously loopy, so takes the silver medal here.

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.
