Missing live sports? Want something to tide you over?
No prob. Pro Wrestling.
Already a wrestling fan? Sad you won& #39;t be at #WrestleMania?
Well, if you use that same suspension of disbelief inherit in all of us, you can pretend to be there!
That being said, let& #39;s get started.

Well, if you use that same suspension of disbelief inherit in all of us, you can pretend to be there!
That being said, let& #39;s get started.
First up, either sign up for WWE Network (free 1st month, cancel whenever if it& #39;s not your thing), or share with someone you know who has it.
Next, go to the PPV section, and either select year (2008), or #WrestleMania (XXIV = 24).
Best to start here. Easier to manage.

#WrestleMania 24 took place in Orlando in 2008. This was the first Mania during the company& #39;s transition into a somewhat family friendly product.
With all good Mania& #39;s, there is a sense of pageantry & spectacle. A changing of the guard.
Sports storytelling at it& #39;s best.

The 2 matches to watch (and make sure you watch their video packages & wrestler entrances. They get you up to speed & really set the stage), are:

&

After that, it& #39;s time for #WrestleMania XXV (2009), and arguably the greatest match of all time:
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
This one& #39;s 30 mins, folks. So, take your time. It& #39;s all you need.
Enjoy. #WM25

side note:
Edge had his (unbeknownst to him) last match at #WM27 but for more on that see Royal Rumble 2020
CM Punk vs. Randy Orton
&
Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio (before they went All-In)
are both very good matches, if you& #39;ve got the time :)

Noticeably absent: women& #39;s matches. Actual matches.
But that changes soon...
Also, Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan is worth a quick watch (if only to compare with #WMXXX) @ 0:06:21 after America the Beautiful.
Not my favorite Mania, but some great moments nonetheless.

Key matches:
The @Undertaker vs. @CMPunk @ 1:43:52
@TheRock vs. @JohnCena "Twice in a Lifetime" @ 3:10:03
The Taker/Punk match steals the show, and Rock/Cena is MUCH better this time around.

Arguably the strongest Mania in recent times, it would be followed by the over-indulgence of #WrestleMania 32.
That being said, the first true women& #39;s co-main event was just upon the horizon.
Until then, please enjoy #WMXXXIhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▶️" title="Right-pointing triangle" aria-label="Emoji: Right-pointing triangle">

Alright. This is the most valuable tweet in this thread.
#WrestleMania 32 is the most boring Mania of the modern area.
That being said, it does contain the greatest Women& #39;s match in Mania history to date.
Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs.Charlotte Flair @ 1:52:30
