What's up with Trinity posing with Melina? Are they moving her to RAW? Because that'd be awesome to have another wrestler (and a heel) on RAW. |

Sounds like this Wrestlemania was pretty good. Undertaker winning the title is a nice touch, probably a gift for all the stuff he's done for WWE, and a means of sending him off before he retires soon. A bit disappointed John Cena retained, because Shawn Michaels would be a good champion right about now. Wasn't too surprised Vince got his head shaved, who honestly would expect a snooty billionaire like Trump to actually put himself out there for someone else? |

I find the fact that Undertaker was at the halfway mark. That happened last year as well with Rey vs. Orton vs. Angle. Whatever happened to winning the Royal Rumble ensuring that you would be the main event? |

Yeah, I also thought that was a bit wrong how Undertaker's match was in the middle of the card. At least have them go on before Cena and Michaels' match, geez. They really don't do the Smackdown brand's side any justice. They're definitely the B-rated show when it comes to WWE, and it's further proof with their main title not even being near the main-event. |

So... did anyone else think 'mania sucked this year? I missed half of MITB match but was disappointed when I remembered that Ric Flair wasn't in the match. I was glad a Smackdown guy won it, but disappointed it was Ken Kennedy (Which is too bad... I was a massive mark for the guy back when he had, y'know, a personality). Kane/Khali in a gimmick free match = Awful. I thought they would've made it a dog collar match or something that would involve the chain Kane's been carrying around. Khali's only watchable in gimmick matches as well. Benoit/MVP suprised me. One - Benoit won. Two - MVP worked pretty well on the mat. Now if MVP wrestled more like he did at WM23, I wouldn't change the channel/fast forward through one of his matches. MVP's just too bland in the ring & on the mic for me to really enjoy, but I did on 'mania. Batista/Taker... With all the build-up it was recieving, I would've figured it would have main evented. But that makes sense, and if it makes sense, WWE won't do it. I thoroughly enjoyed Taker's entrance (I see it every damn week but it never gets old to me), but the match itself was lackluster. The Powerslam spot through the table was cool, but gave away the ending in my mind (At WM20 HHH & HBK gave a double Vertical Suplex to Chris Benoit through the announcer's desk, but at the end Benoit was victorious... And it was for the WHC too). Glad to see Taker win & not retire (which is something all my Undertaker mark friends dispute every 'mania) which now that I think about it, if Taker retired, I wouldn't have much reason to tune into SD!, let alone WWE. Old ECW vs New ECW was a piss break match, so I did just that when it came on. Didn't miss much. Umaga/Lashley, well, sucked. It did nothing for me, though most of that had to do with knowing right from the get go Vince would lose his hair. The angle itself got Vince some ratings & buzz I imagine, but I would've preferred a Mick Foley revenge angle from when he joined Vince's Kiss My Ass Club & a Foley/Vince encounter of the No Holds Barred variety. But that makes sense & WWE's track record with angles that make sense isn't exactly the greatest. Women's title match... Yay! Softcore porn! Matches like that really make me long for Molly Holly. Though Melina winning was a pleasant suprise, as well as Trashley going quasi-heel after the match. And then Cena/HBK. I couldn't get into this either. Is it me, or is HBK milking the whole D-X thing really getting annoying? It's going to get to Eddie Guerrero depths before we know it (Course I have the D-X Cross t-shirt in my WWE Shopzone Wishlist, so I have no room to talk [It's a cool looking shirt, okay?!]). I really wanted HBK to win too, because, as mentioned by JR, Cena's had the belt for 20 of the last 24 months. And I thought Triple H's late 2002- early 2004 stranglehold on the WHC was bad. And it isn't so much that I'm sick of John Cena, it's that he has no one fresh to feud with (Of course, the same would apply with Michaels now that I think about it). The Cena/HBK match itself, though, was boring. No chemistry between them at all. Some of the reversals & move sequences were cool, but it couldn't save the match as a whole. So, I'd say Undertaker/Batista was match of the night. And when Batista/Undertaker is match of the night, that must've been one (and you'll have to pardon my french on this one) shitty PPV (Course I can't say that in good conscience - The dance party promo almost had me laughing to tears). And the wild part is, in my opinion, TNA is putting out a better product. And VINCE RUSSO is their booker for God's sakes! |

All I have to say is that I laughed at the show's end. Cena parading around with the belt, not a sound from the crowd. People were actually leaving. It was seriously to the point that anyone could record the song in the arena and have no disturbance. Face facts WWE, no one is taking Cena in. Have him turn hell for crying out loud! At least let him do the Rock bit and not force him onto us as a face anymore. Man. Party on, Joe. ~eat snacky smores~ |

I missed the first hour of the show because webcasts are imposible to tune into right off the hop, so I consiquently missed the Money in the Bank match, Kane versus Khali, and the first few minutes of Benoit versus MVP. Ah well... I read somewhere that Cena is McMahons new golden boy backstage, and because of that, Cena has heat with most of the main-event talent. That may explain why HBK uncharacteristicly walked away from Cena after the match was through. I'm curious to see who's going to challenge Cena next. Is it going to be a Wrestlemania-rematch seeing HBK and Cena again, or are they going to throw in another superstar... or have Cena square off against someone new entirely?! The Battle of the Billionaires results didn't surprise me at all, I even called Vinnie Mac getting stunned, but I was entertained none the less. WWE's really pushing Lashley these days, and it would most certainly be counter-productive to have Lashley lose at the biggest event of the year.
In defense of "The Donald", he did take a Stunner. All in all, as a wrestling fan, I enjoyed Wrestlemania! I was happy to see 'Taker earn the World Heavyweight Championship and keep his Wrestlemania undefeated streak alive. The ECW Originals versus the New Breed was missing that ECW feel. More "OH MY GAWD!" action would have made it a way more ECW'y match. But that's just one Birthday Boys opinion. |

This just stuck out to me after I saw the PPV through "various means"... I agree, I have DVDs of MVP back in FIP (florida promotion, where he's from) right before he got signed to the WWE. He had some good matches with CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and the like there. He also had a decent move set to him (mainly brawling and technical stuff). I was amazed to see how washed down and dull he was when first showed up in the WWE. (Mainly since he was like a bigger and slightly better in the ring version of the Rock of what I saw of him pre-WWE.) |

Yeah, but a lot of the reports from his demeanor backstage and the way he acted when asked about it was really negative. From reports he acted really above wrestling and didn't even promote it when he was on a talkshow two days before the event. |

Just finished watching WM via... well sources, and I can safely say worse WM in a while, don't know bout any of you but their was no WM excitement that usually arising when watching. Was routing for Punk in the bank match but glad if anyone it was Kennedy that won. Other than that, show was quite piss poor top to bottom. Bring back a heel HHH and have him beat Cena... please! |

I disagree. While it lacked the "crackle" of the mid-90s, it was still a far and better improvement than last years. |

Careful what you wish for, or it'll be 2003 all over again. But if that's the case, at least Smackdown would be watchable again. |

Yeah, I'll be the first to say that I actually enjoy watching HHH ever since he stepped away from the World Heavyweight title. I wouldn't mind seeing him come back and take it from Cena. At least it'd put a fresh face in the scene. |

I was verily unimpressed. To me, the MITB match was awful. It wasn't even much of a spot-fest, especially after Edge and Jeff's so-called elimination left the others in confusion for a couple of minutes. I really hated the fact that, every so often, one wrestler would break out and hit the same move on everybody else. Even the finish was disappointing. Granted, there wasn't exactly anyone left to challenge Kennedy, but it would've been nice to not see him stand up there for ages before grabbing the belt.. I enjoyed the 'Taker match, but only wish it had been higher up the card, if not the main event itself. My match of the night had to be Cena versus Michaels. Whilst the result left me unhappy and Cena's entrance had me questioning whether or not I should go to bed, the match itself was quite good. Lots of false finishes to get the adrenaline going for the fans. My only wish is that it ended with something other than a submission.. Other than that, my biggest annoyance was the MVP against Benoit match. I was thoroughly impressed with the way they let MVP dominate the match, not with cheating and brute force, but with pure wrestling. And then, suddenly, Benoit pulls out a trio of Germans and hits the headbutt for the win. I don't think anyone expected that and, for me at least, it was a real buzz kill. What could've been good was a disappointment. I can't remember the last 'Mania that I enjoyed. It may be as far back as 2000. |

I can tell you the last Wrestlemania I enjoyed. It was Austin vs. Rock where Austin turned heel and aligned himself with McMahon to win the championship. |
