WWE: WrestleMania 31

Wrestlemania 31 had perhaps one of the weakest build ups for a Wrestlemania ever - heading into it with low expectations, the show itself actually exceeded them for me. The impressive (if sometimes ridiculous) production values, the big show atmosphere and the hard work of most of the in ring performers made it a decent event. Not classic but decent.As is customary these days with the Blu Ray release, you get the full show on disc one and the Hall of Fame on disc two. Two matches from the kick off show are thrown in as usual but there's not much more of note. I've listed the card and the extras below with a few comments....Daniel Bryan v Bad News Barrett v Dolph Ziggler v Stardust v Luke Harper v R-Truth v Dean Ambrose - IC Title - Ladder Match - No messing about, straight to the good stuff. A typically energetic, big bumping, multi man ladder match with most getting their own little chance to shine. A fun and popular way to kick things off.Seth Rollins v Randy Orton - Enjoyable effort from these two, not exactly a show stealer but good solid stuff with an inspired ending.Sting v Triple H - Mixed feelings about this one. Not how I expected it to go down and I'm not convinced the result is exactly best for business (you won the Monday Night War boys, get over it). The run ins and add ons are kind of fun though so perhaps it's best not to overthink it. The less said about Trippers entrance, the better.Paige & AJ Lee v The Bella Twins - Pretty routine tag match, not much to see or say here.Rusev v John Cena - US Title - Just when you thought Triple H had tied up the award for most ridiculous entrance of the night, Rusev rolls up in a tank. Like with the IC strap earlier it's an interesting effort from WWE to try and make the secondary titles seem relevant again. The match itself is good enough despite the eye rolling predictability of it all.Next up is an in ring segment where Steph and Triple H come out for a bit of gloating before they're joined by The Rock (!) and then Ronda Rousey (!?). It's a bit of a laugh and gets a good reaction but it does run a bit long at over 20 minutes.Bray Wyatt v Undertaker - Maybe it's because the streaks no longer on the line, maybe it's because Bray isn't quite capturing the imagination like he was a year before or maybe it's the bright, broad daylight setting but this doesn't have quite the magic it may have had at a previous Wrestlemania. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, it has its moments and a strong finishing sequence.Roman Reigns v Brock Lesnar - WWE Title - They tried long and hard to get Roman over with the hardcore fans. Didn't work did it? He gets booed out of the arena here even though, to be fair, he enters a suitably spirited display as Brocks punching bag. It's one of the stranger Wrestlemania main events but I think it works - aided largely by the twist in the tale.Kick Off Show - The Usos v Los Matadores v Tyson Kidd & Cesaro v New Day - Tag Titles - A chaotic, fast paced slice of carnage. Almost everybody manages to squeeze in their big spots and it certainly warmed the crowd up. Job done.Kick Off Show - Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal - Some of the talent seems wasted here but despite it all, there's still a guilty pleasure element to Battle Royals somehow. Most notable here is the break up of The Miz and Mizdow which gets a huge pop from the crowd. Then there's the eventual, tiresome conclusion. Which doesn't.Hall of Fame - Kevin Nash, Tatsumi Fujinami, Alundra Blayze, The Bushwhackers, Larry Zbyszko, Connor The Crusher, Rikishi, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Randy Savage are the inductees this year. The induction of Macho (accepted on his behalf by brother Lanny) was the highlight for me in a show that runs for nearly four hours. He probably should have been the headline act but such is life - that honour went to Kevin Nash this time out.You also get four short promos on Cena, Rollins, Lesnar and Bryan. The Lesnar and Bryan ones are Blu Ray exclusive and represent the only Blu exclusive material on the set.And that's that. Roll on Wrestlemania 32........

Always get wrestling DVDs and happy this came, in good condition to which I was glad. Wrestlemania 31 was a good wm, enjoyable glad I have it on dvd. Its a 3 disc set and has good amount of hours to watch. Price was good as well .

one of the best manias of all time, certainly rivalling mania 17 which would be my fave. Great booking, great matches, the two extra matches which are on the dvd as extras are also great to watch, There was something about this one which just smacked of brilliance , a flawless enough mania in truth , yes the taker and bray could have had a better match and the odd run in of nwo didn't make sense but I loved it, aside from those small gripes and they are small I was entertained from the first minute to the last and that can be a rare thing in a four hour ppv.

Bought for my son to complete his collection. He is never disappointed
