So, anyone who grew up in Pakistan knows wrestling was a big frikken deal, if it isn’t STILL a part of your life. You loved the sport, you breathed the sport, you watched the theatrics with your dad. Hell, you still own one of those belts for show. And if you hated the sport because of all the drama, the nudity, the cruelty, the punchlines or the violence for stage, well, BOOHOO. You still had to be subjected to it because…democracy.
I’m going to throw some big names to pretend like I know all about wrestling and Wrestlemania and Smackdown etc. The Undertaker, John Cena, Raaaaandy Orton, Triple H…THE ROCK. Kane. Brock Lesnar. Yep, that’s about all.
But hey, you don’t need to be a fan to appreciate the 33rd installment of Wrestlemania.
First off, Undertaker AKA “Dead Man Walking” finally called it quits by officially retiring.
Yep, let that sink in.
It was a sentimental farewell, as he walked to the stage, jazzy as always.
Keep rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ whaaaat.
And the crowd cheered like mad cray.
After this face-off with Roman Reigns, The Undertaker was met with his second defeat in Wrestlemania which quickly resulted in him renouncing his throne and telling everyone, loud and clear, that he’s retiring.
When time came for the announcement, it was dead silent. And well, this video says it all:
Then the lights went out and well, it was quite a tear jerker.
But hey, there were also some happy tears. John Cena FINALLY popped the question to long time girlfriend and on-stage partner Nikki Bella and it was literally so perfect.
Look at those little cuties.
Here’s the proposal in live action:
So there you have it, folks. Drama. Suspense. Romance. And all the masala.
