Memes That Perfectly Sum Up WWE WrestleMania

We're little more than a month away from WrestleMania 34, and compared to how things were in previous years, there's still a lot we don't know about the card at this point. Of course, that may change after WWE's Fastlane pay-per-view for SmackDown Live ends the brand-exclusive PPV era for the moment, but for now, it's anybody's guess as to how the bulk of the event may be booked.

However, there are some things that don't seem to change from 'Mania to 'Mania, and with that in mind, we've shared a few memes that we believe are representative of how many WWE fans feel about the Grandest Stage of Them All, especially in recent years.

Sure, this meme might not feature any wrestlers – instead, you've got Woody and Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story series – but you don't need any wrestlers present to get the gist of this one. For years, WWE has insistently booked part-timers like Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and The Rock to wrestle marquee matches on the Grandest Stage of Them All, and while this helps draw casual fans to WrestleMania, it also takes away opportunities from deserving full-timers who are far more over with the hardcore fans.

One can say that depriving these younger fan favorites of their WrestleMania moments has been instrumental in driving away many a WWE fan from the product. But as far as Vince McMahon is concerned, it's all about the short-term boost that comes with casuals popping back in to root for their old favorites at the Show of Shows.

At the moment, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to WrestleMania 34's card, but if last year was any indication, WWE is going to use the pre-show for mid-card title matches, including the Cruiserweight Championship. The maker of the above meme must have created it before WrestleMania 33 actually started, as he included the SmackDown Women's Championship match as a pre-show affair (in reality, it wasn't), but you get the idea – mid-card, women's and/or cruiserweight matches will always take a back seat at the Show of Shows, regardless of how good they are, or how good they might be.

On the other hand, what takes place during the actual WrestleMania proper? Of course, that's where all the main event players show their stuff, but WrestleMania has always made room for celebrity appearances, no matter that most fans would rather watch some wrestling rather than a musical performance or a throwaway backstage skit. Last year, Pitbull and Flo Rida were among the celebrity guests at 'Mania, immediately causing lines to build up outside the rest rooms as their performance took place.

Now this appears to be another case of a meme created before the event, back when many were expecting Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg for the Universal Championship to main event WrestleMania 33, and end with a whimper, rather than a bang. As it turned out, that match was actually pretty good for what it was (though not great by any means), and not a "hold my beer" moment to represent the ultimate fail – something even worse than the Triple H vs. Roman Reigns main event at WrestleMania 32.

As years pass and the WrestleManias add up, this meme will certainly crop up in other ways, shapes, or forms. And the memories will likely be as short as that of those who might have forgotten that there were arguably worse 'Mania main events than HHH vs. Reigns. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania XI, anyone?

So we decided to wrap up with two straight memes featuring Sean Bean, who, aside from his many onscreen deaths, is well-known for his popularity in the meme making community. That too applies to the world of pro wrestling memes, where the old mainstay "One does not simply..." Lord of the Rings-inspired meme lends itself to something that was once seen as impossible at WrestleMania – beating The Undertaker.

As we've seen in 'Taker's two 'Mania losses so far, they've been pretty meaningful – Brock Lesnar breaking the streak and becoming the "1 in 21-and-1" at 'Mania XXX, and Roman Reigns seemingly, but probably not quite retiring the Deadman at 'Mania 33. Will we see The Undertaker return for one more match at WrestleMania 34, possibly against John Cena? The chances of that are quite solid, but for the sake of the soon-to-be 53-year-old Undertaker and his already deteriorated physical condition and wrestling skills, let's hope 'Mania 34, if ever, will truly be his "last ride" as an active wrestler.

Game of Thrones may not be returning for its eighth and final season until next year, but Ned Stark's words ring as true as ever for a lot of fans of the show – winter is coming. And just like winter came along with a massive White Walker invasion in the Season 7 finale, Roman Reigns' big 'Mania win is, with little doubt, coming at WrestleMania 34, with Vince McMahon not caring less that the WWE Universe still won't accept The Big Dog as the new face of the franchise.

As Reigns' Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar at 'Mania 34 and presumable win over The Beast had been rumored since last spring, those who aren't rooting for Roman to win can at least take solace in the fact that dirt sheets had reported about this booking decision for close to a year in advance. Don't say Dave Meltzer and co. didn't warn you.
