WWE WrestleMania 32 - 5 things from the show that could have been better

2) Where was the hope?

Ambrose lost without much build up

While it was okay to not use the chainsaw. That would have been a lot. If you thought this was about Ambrose withstanding more pain than a normal wrestler, let alone a normal human being. But he did not even get the opportunity to match the 16 suplexes Lesnar gave to Cena. He only got 13.

There were kendo sticks used and Ambrose was pinned after an F-5 on the chairs. This match was over too quick, too soon. In retrospect, there may be something to it. Ambrose lost clean. There were sparks of awesomeness when Dean smiled at Lesnar, blocking the kendo stick before giving him a low blow.

This was a bad WrestleMania for Ambrose. Hopefully, it turns into what happened to Bryan after his 18-second loss to Sheamus. On the other hand, Shane vs Taker was everything that this match could and should have been. Ambrose was a Madman but Shane outclassed him in that sphere. There was a certain feeling of respect after all the things Shane did- something that was expected from Ambrose.

This match- despite all the hype and all the endearing hope for fan favourite Ambrose- was a major disappointment.
