Here we are for another great WWE 24 production looking behind the curtain of WrestleMania 32 week, so without any further delay, let’s get rolling..
The Boss’ Speech
The show kicks off with Vince McMahon giving a speech, talking about what Wrestlemania is about..The greatest live event ever, the spectacle, the production, the pyro, the fans, it is just absolutely special. McMahon goes on to say that fans from everywhere will be at the event. Every time Vince McMahon speaks, it is with absolute passion, you have to love it. From there it shows scenes from the set up of the arena, and various WWE stars talking about the sheer experience. The work that goes into what goes on, not just over Wrestlemania but over the entire week is just awesome.
Time To Play The Game
We move on to Triple H..As highlights from a Triple H workout is shown, H says that he would not have got to WWE if he hadn’t walked into a gym at 14 years old. He also tells of how busy he is, from production meetings to NXT, setting up and so on. Agree or not folks, but Triple H is a workhorse, absolutely no doubt about it. One thing I also love is the motivation and passion he speaks with when talking to the NXT wrestlers. Perfect example here is in the show when Triple H is talking to the roster both before and after the NXT Takeover Dallas show. It is awesome to watch. Brilliant by The Game. “You Do The Work In Life, And Everything Follows”-Triple H
Proud To Be A Part
This section is a bit of a mixture as the next while of the WWE 24 show featured a few stars talking about various subjects;;Kicking off with The New Day who talk about how proud they were to induct the legendary Freebirds into the Hall Of Fame that weekend. Xavier Woods spoke about The New Day faction, saying that the group is just so organic and natural,and that their bond is unrivalled, and you can’t argue with that, they just clicked right off the bat and are awesome together to this day. Next up was AJ Styles talking about finally making it to WWE and now Wrestlemania, and admitting to thinking that it may not happen. He says his move to WWE was all about timing and everything paid off. Again, no arguement there, Styles absolutely deserves where he is at and he has been (pun intended) phenomenal. Great stuff by AJ here. Finally, Zack Ryder speaks. Talking about how ‘Mania is his chance to have his Wrestlemania moment, he had worked and been a fan his entire life amd no one deserves it more than him. Ryder also spoke about overcoming tumors at a younger age, and being through so many highs and lows, but here he is and tonight was his chance to shine. I must say, as much as I wanted Sami Zayn to win the ladder match, Zack Ryder sure deserved his moment. “It’s Wrestlemania, It’s A Good Day”-Vince McMahon
The fans are starting to pack into AT&T Stadium!
Charlotte’s Emotion
Charlotte tells the story of Ric Flair wearing his blue robe for Wrestlmania 24, and she is wearing her own blue robe for Wrestlemania 32. The emotion sets is hard when Charlotte talks about her brother always wanting to follow in his Dad’s footsteps, and now she is livimg her brother’s dream, and how it has all stemmed from Ric’s lifetime of work. Very emotional but amazing stuff from the champion here. You can just tell how amazingly proud Charlotte is, and her brother would damn sure be proud too.
Showtime
Highlights of the ladder match were on first, with narration from Zack Ryder. The match features Zack Ryder VS Stardust VS Sin Cara VS Sami Zayn VS Kevin Owens VS The Miz VS Dolph Ziggler. The match itself was great and action packed. It was awesome to see Ryder achieve a lifelong dream, win the Intercontinental Championship and have his Wrestlamania moment. Ryder says ot himself, no one can take that away from him. “You Earned It Years Ago, And You Finally Got It”-Stone Cold Steve Austin.
AJ Styles VS Chris Jericho highlights followed..What a brilliant match it was. AJ was soaking in every second, finally getting to perform at Wrestlemania, saying that the experience you can’t describe, you have to be there. Post match Styles is backstage with his family, and despite losing to Y2J, Styles knows that really, he won. Great stuff once again here. “Boys Trust Me, Daddy Won Tonight”-AJ Styles
Next up were the highlights of New Day VS The League Of Nations. All three New Day members, especially Xavier Woods, says that he didn’t remember much about the match itself, it is what followed the match that was the highlight, and that can’t be argued. The segment involving Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley and Stone Cold laying out the LON and being around New Day was class. Woods goes onto to say that being Stunnered by Austin was one of the coolest things to happen to him. Awesome stuff..New Day are quite heavily featured in this show and I love it.
Onto the triple threat match for the brand new Womens Championship..All three ladies have worked their asses off to get to this moment, and it all paid off as each of them got their Wrestlemania moment, and to top it off, the match was superb to watch, great work by all women. Charlotte emerged victorious and was so proud to have made history. Emotions struck as she spoke a bit more about her brother, saying that she dedicated it all to him, while also saying that she has taken Ric Flair’s epic history and carried it on. Again, amazing story, emotional story, the genuine heartbreak Charlotte displays is surreal. It is heartwarming yet great to watch.
After a short recap of The Rock’s segment, where he announced the attendance record, we move on to Hell In A Cell, Shane McMahon VS The Undertaker. It would have been nice to see a bit more of The Rock segment, especially the paet involving The Wyatts and John Cena getting involved..But unfortunately it was very short lived. However, when the HIAC build up started, Shane McMahon is backstage with his family. The story is awesome because Shane has always wanted to perform in front of his children, and not only is he getting to do that now, but he is getting it at Wrestlemania! Having his kids be a part of his entrance just tops it off. Shane goes on to say that his family are his biggest supporters, which despite seeming obvious, is absolutely brilliant to hear. Onto the match itself. It was excellent stuff from both McMahon and Taker, for anyone who saw the show, but these highlights were obviously cut right down. The main highlight was something no one can ever forget..Shane McMahon risking life and jumping off the top of the cell and crashing through the announcers table, it was scary and unforgettable, and made for an epic moment in Wrestlemania history, it was absolutely spine chilling. Backstage came the sheer emotion..Shane being backstage with his family, hugging his wife and kids, was beautiful. In my opinion, even more so beautiful, was the moment between father and son, Vince and Shane. That moment when Vince hugs Shane, it is heartwarming to watch, the emotion on Vince’s face, knowing how proud of his son he was..That picture was priceless, it makes you think. I absolutely loved it.
Main event time, started with the usual awesome Triple H entrance, which also involved Stephanie. That’s one thing for sure, when it comes to the entrances at Wrestlemania, Triple H always brings it with a superb effort. This was the story of redemption for Roman Reigns. He wanted a piece of Triple H, and he wanted the WWE World Championship back, and when all was said and done, that is exactly what he got. It was a great contest. Reigns talks about the whole experience being mind blowing, being in there with Triple H at Wrestlemania and so on. Again a great package put together for this. To top it off, Reigns says he has two different kinds of joy. 1-Winning the WWE Title, being at Mania, and working with Triple H..2-For both his supporters and haters, because at the end of the day, love him or not, everyone was standing. “When You Become A Part Of Something Like This, It’s Mind Blowing”-Roman Reigns
The feature finished off with a final recap package..And seeing everyone be so close and bond together behind the scenes is just special, an amazing site..WWE truly is a huge family. All in all, I recommend this to anyone to watch, this was excellent and WWE 24 as a series in a superb show in general. This had everything;;Action, stories, spectacle, love, emotion, it had it all. Watch this feature folks, you will not regret a damn thing..Over and out!
