Folks we the round of 32 is now over and done with. We have 16 WrestleMania’s that will move onto the “Sweet 16” and 16 that will fade into mediocrity. Which Mania’s have moved on? Let’s get into the final results for Round of 32!

Round 2-WM 35 vs WM 36
Ok, I’m starting with this one because my brilliant self forgot to change the time on this one, and it ended early. So WrestleMania 35 and 36 faced off, and it ended in a tie. The tiebreaker is the Wrestling with Emotion podcast voting. With three of them responding WM 35, that will move onto the next round.
Round 2- WM 31 vs WM 11
Another matchup that I forgot to extend the time for. This one, though, was easy as 31 shut out 11 for the win. I mean, to me, this was easy I don’t remember much from 11, but 31 was fantastic from beginning to end.
Round 2- WM X7 vs WM 2000
By one vote WM X7, the favorite to win (to me), is going to squeak by. WM 2000 put up a good fight, but X7 is going to be a tough beat. Maybe there was some trolling going on from some people, but we will never know. This matchup had the most votes of any of the matchups.
Round 2- WM 10 vs WM XIX
WM 10 takes this one and moves onto the next round to face X7. XIX was kind of a let down as Triple H retained the World Heavyweight Championship and Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship. On the other hand WM 10 had the first ladder match in WWE history.
Round 2- WM 8 vs WM 21
WM 21 will take down WM 8. I don’t remember anything from WM 8, while WM 21 had my favorite superstar in John Cena win his first WWE Championship. 21 was also the first time we saw the Money in the Bank ladder match. Another reason why WM 21 should have won.
Round 2- WM 23 vs WM 24
This matchup ended in another tie. Going back to Wrestling With Emotion they said that WM 23 would take the win, though they both were good. Mr. Kennedy’s winning of the MITB must have been that much better than CM Punk’s.
Round 2- WM vs WM 2
The original WM takes the cake here and moves into the Sweet 16. This wasn’t a surprise to me as I have heard that WM 2 was pretty bad (hence why it was put in the First Four). WM was the start so it had to get at least one win in the tournament right?
Round 2- WM 13 vs WM 22
WM 22 shutsout WM 13 to get the oppurtunity to face WM in the sweet 16. Kind of surprising as 13 was when Stone Cold Steve Austin made his emergence and the Undertaker won the WWE title. However 22 did have Cena retaining his WWE Championship and Rey Mysterio winning the World Heavyweight Championship in honor of Eddie Guerrero.
Round 2- WM XIV vs WM 34
WM 34 beats WM XIV 3-1 for the win. Not a good showing from Stone Cold Steve Austin headlined Manias in these last two matchups. Besides his match though what was there in that card? 34 had a great opener in the triple threat match with Finn Balor-Miz- Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura turning heel was fantastic. 34 could be a dark horse going forward.
Round 2- WM 26 vs WM 5
By a 2-1 final WM 26 takes the win. What helps 26 prevail was the MITB ladder match and HBK vs Undertaker part two, while WM 5 had super short matches until Hogan-Savage. The super short matches couldn’t keep up with that.
Round 2- WM 3 vs WM 28
In what I think is an upset WM 28 beats WM 3. Maybe the Hogan-Andre and Steamboat-Savage matches weren’t as memorable as I thought. 28 did have Cena-Rock I and Triple H- Undertaker hell in a cell to help make it better
Round 2- WM XXX vs WM 27
WM XXX will move into the sweet 16 with the win over 27. All I have to say is Daniel Bryan’s night and that is enough right?
Round 2-WM 29 vs WM X8
Rock-Cena twice in a lifetime were enough to push 29 past Rock-Hogan and X8. Yeah I don’t know how this happened in all honesty. X8 was a it of a let down, but I didn’t think people enjoyed 29 as much as I did.
Round 2- WM 33 vs WM 12
WM 33 takes down WM 12. I maybe noticing a pattern in that the older Manias are losing to newer ones. Why I don’t know, but maybe I am wrong and people really think the new ones are better. Maybe people liked Reigns “ending” Taker’s career and the Fatal-4-way Tag team title match.
Round 2- WM 4 vs WM XX
WM XX takes down the WWE title tournament that was WM 4. I agree with this, Eddie Guerrero and [REDACTED’s] embrace is one of the best WWE moments of all time. Surely it had to move on.
Round 2- WM 7- WM 6
WM 7 defeats WM 6. Maybe people didn’t like Hogan taking the L in the Skydome. Maybe they thought Sargent Slaughter- Hogan was a good match. Does it matter? Nope WM 7 moves on, that is what matters.
