We’re not going to sugarcoat things here, WrestleMania 32 was an incredibly disappointing show. It featured good and occasionally great wrestling that was, in every instance, immediately undercut by questionable and often nonsensical booking decisions. It had a main event where the crowd reactions were so poor that WWE resorted to actual technical trickery to silence the audience’s opinion. And in the end, it set attendance records and made WWE a bunch of money, so they probably didn’t learn a single thing. If you thought Batman v Superman was bad, well, strap in, because it certainly seemed like WWE saw the fan backlash to that movie and said to themselves “I bet we can beat that.” But while the immediate response has been to declare this the worst WrestleMania of all time, we have to step back and ask ourselves, was it really? Was WrestleMania 32 the absolute bottom of the barrel of WWE? Well, let’s take a closer look before we come to a decision…
10. But First, The Good News
Listen, we were as shocked as everyone when Zack Ryder, who probably wouldn’t even have been in the match if not for a series of unfortunate injuries, ended up as Intercontinental Champion. But if you had to give us an option that wasn’t Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens, we probably would have backed Ryder the whole way. Sure, it doesn’t make any real sense because Zack has been a non-factor since roughly 2011, but if the reaction he go was any indication, he still has the support of the fans. No one can say Ryder hasn’t waded through waist-high garbage in the last few years, and to say this title win was both well-deserved and far overdue would be understating it. Even if he gets killed tonight on Raw and loses the title right back to Kevin Owens (hopefully that won’t happen, but you’ll forgive us if we’re not feeling generous towards WWE today), he still has an incredible WrestleMania moment with a stadium full of people cheering his victory while he hugged his father in the middle of the ring. Of such things are WrestleMania moments made. Congratulations, WWE, of all the bone-headed decisions you made at WrestleMania, you at least got this one right.
