WrestleMania 29 is in the books as is our yearly Beeramid. Full recap and pics of THAT event coming shortly. For now, I want to take a look at the PPV itself and give some thoughts and feedback. The pre-event build was actually pretty piss poor this year. The WWE really didn’t do anything all the special to build to their biggest show of the year and it showed.
