Of the six guys who got a special spotlight last night in this regard:
1. Rusev (far and away)
2. Sting (maybe not what people thought, but still good)
3. Undertaker (helped a lot by not appearing on any build-up shows)
4. Bray Wyatt (meh)
5. Triple H (didn't think it could be worse until...)
6. John Cena (Fox News, eat your heart out)
Rusev is basically a babyface. He comes to the ring in a fucking tank. He loves his country. He is tough as nails and fights hard to win every match. You might say he "never gives up"
I can't believe how many people didn't understand the purpose of the Takio (sp?) drums... They're used as a call to war. (HINT, HINT).
Again, Cena's entrance wasn't really an "entrance" it was just the video and then Cena coming out. (I still say they should have used the John Wayne speech instead of Reagan's...)
Rusev was by far the best entrance
Considering what we are used to i thought Taker and Cenas were as lame as they could have been
Wyatts was awful .Pointless carrying a lantern when it wasn't one bit dark.The zombies would have been far more suited to Takers entrance but i am glad they wasn't as it was a awful idea
Sting and HHH were ok but nothing special
Cena's was the worst of the event, easily, including regular entrances. The Andre battle royal with 3/4s of the locker room just wandering out en masse was better, for each individual guy, than Cena's. Jingoistic, outdated bullshit, trying to appeal to the patriotism of the crowd in the stupidest way (doing it at the annual event with the most non-Americans, going up against Russia, the Russian in question actually being Bulgarian).
It really doesn't help that throughout the entire feud, and even before for that, you can point to numerous instances where Rusev is clearly in the right.
The fact that Vince McMahon decided this story was amazing for a face Cena to triumph in just shows how out of date he is in so many ways. He can't have realised that the world moved on since Rocky 4.
Rusev's was great, didn't you see the police pushing people back etc? Watch it again they have to shove people back and even a few people flipping off Reigns as he walks down the steps.

I don't get why people are making a bid deal out of this. Yeah I know Vince is a hardcore Republican and conservative, but 3 out of the 4 presidents that had quotes in Cena's package were Democrats (Truman, JFK, and Obama) and just 1 was a Republican (Reagan). Also, I thought Cena's video package was more patriotic than leaning one side or the other. Are people saying it had to be Republican just because it was patriotic?
I wasn't really thinking in terms of party lines. It was just more about the "Murica" vibe of it that is sync with Fox and their intellectually vacuous presentation.
And "patriotic" is a pretty loaded word. I wouldn't use it flippantly.
Sorry to double post, but I forgot George Bush Jr. Still 3/5 presidents in Cena's package were Democrats, that means it was hardly over the top Republican
1. Rusev
2. Rollins' second entrance
3. Brock Lesner
4. Paige
5. Undertaker
6. That guy during Undertaker's entrance
7. Roman Reigns
8. Bray Wyatt
9. Sting
10. HHH (Amlost on a level with Shockmaster and Robocop)
Not sure about rankings, but Rusev's was fucking immense, just like I knew it would be. A fucking TANK. Goddamn that was great.
Bray's was great but not a patch on last year. Being outdoors didn't really help. Taker's was standard for him. Didn't see Cena's...ha.
Sting's intro was fantastic, but of course he had to be introduced first, even though it's STING at Wrestlemania...which leads me to...
Triple H's entrance. It was some of the most overblown bullshit I've ever seen. This guy is such a fucking mark for himself it's untrue. When he and the other cyborgs were on those platforms I felt the cringe rise to astronomical levels. Awful.
I personally loved Wyatt's, the zombies/scarecrows were brilliant.
obviously Rusev's was the GOAT of the night.
didn't like Sting's at all.
Triple H's was pure corny, last years was so epic but this year was laughable.
Taker was Taker.
the fireworks for Reigns were actually pretty cool.
Brock doesn't need any special shit, he's just Brock.
Of all the cheesy things I've seen in the past couple of year. HHH's entrance made me feel so embarrassed to be a wrestling fan for the first time in my life. And I was watching WM alone mind you.
It made no sense and it was so damn cheesy. That was some Robocop type of bad, and even as a kid I knew that Robocop angle was stupid as hell lol.
