Then again, I didn't pick the show because I thought it would be good. Rather, I wanted to see how the readers would react to it, and I wanted to throw some weird stimuli at them, not the least of which included Jesse "the Body" Ventura's hat. After the jump is a curation of the best tweets from last night. Enjoy!
Vince McMahon's suit looks like someone spilled a lot of glue on it. #TWBManiaII
— Crimson Mask (@ACrimsonMask) March 13, 2014Vince McMahon and Susan St James have no chemistry together, but they're still better than the current Raw commentary team. #TWBManiaII

— Joe OToole (@BitterOldJoe) March 13, 2014I wish this was the Animal we were getting in WM30's main event. #TWBManiaII

— Crimson Mask (@ACrimsonMask) March 13, 2014I'm sure glad Vince went and got this mix of shooting and booking right 12 years later with the Brawl for All. Oh wait... #TWBManiaII
— KMB (@KMB2476) March 13, 2014Who would have imagined that Clubber Lang would be such a terrible boxer? #TWBManiaII
— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) March 13, 2014Basically, Wrestemania 2 is three hours of throwing shit at the wall, and watching almost none of it stick. #TWBManiaII

— Star of Savage (@StarOfSavage) March 13, 2014How about a 30 years of Wrestlemania match between Ricky Schroeder and Jonathan Taylor Thomas? #TWBManiaII
— KMB (@KMB2476) March 13, 2014The tweets petered out by the end of the night, and again, I blame the quality of the card. However, I think the response was enough to do this again next month. I'll try to pick a better event, I promise! But thanks to everyone who came out and participated though. I had a good time, even if Mania II was kind of a dud.
