I don't if anyone else is a wrestling fan (this board doesn't seem to have an active wrestling thread, which is a little weird for a Costumed Fighting fandom) or watched Wrestlemania, but HOLY SHIT. The whole thing was a bit of a wash, more bad than good, but on Night 2 I got to see Bray Wyatt in metaphysical conflict with the concept of John Cena, and it blew my goddamn mind. Easily one of the most original, audacious things I've ever seen from a wrestling promotion. If Christopher Nolan and Charlie Kaufman booked a wrestling match, it'd probably play out like this one. If you want to see what can be done with wrestling narratives, track it down.

I absolutely HATED WrestleMania this year, primarily because a majority of wrestlers I liked and wanted to win didn’t, not least of all Brock Lesnar. I wanted him to retain due to an ongoing grudge I have against Drew McIntyre.

Yeah, it was not a great event. (I honestly just watch AEW, but ended up watching this since my roommate had it on.) A couple good matches, though. The ladder match from Night 1 was great, the Women's 5-Way from Night 2 was pretty fun, and I liked some of the Edge/Orton match. (The first few and last few minutes, not the four hours of the middle section.)

But the filmed segments were, I thought, the best parts. If the whole thing was going to be pretaped, I wish they'd been as innovative across the board. As it was, the Boneyard and Firefly Fun House matches were easily worth my time.

And man, I hate Drew McIntyre so much. Him and Strowman, they're just the most boring wrestlers to me.

Thank you! Someone who agrees with me!

Its been a weird day. Also hi old friends, back again maybe for more than a few days this time lol. Been rediscovering my love of Kamen Rider again and toku in general, watched all of Build and working on Ex-Aid now.

Whoa! Welcome back! This going to be your first time with Ex-Aid, or is it a rewatch?

First time with Ex-Aid and about half-way through, its really enjoyable! Liking it more than Build honestly which wasn't bad but felt samey sometimes

Ex-Aid's how I got into Kamen Rider. I really love it. Glad to hear you're digging it!

Build, yeah, I think by the time you get to the third phase of the war, the third Touto Versus Someone arc, it can start to wear on you. Super clever show, though, with some great acting and writing.

Build had a great villain, good suits, and strong themes but I thought it was lacking in fight scenes sometimes. They weren't bad but they didn't pop which a big thing for me personally

Well, shit, good news: Ex-Aid is basically ALL POP!
