In this corner with Brian Campbell returns with the instant analysis edition of WrestleMania 34. the Brian Campbell, yes, the voice that you hear sitting across from the Silverstein, the Silver King, wow, Adam Silverstein and Silver King, I don't want to do any pleasantries, I don't want to do any lead-ins.
