The Great Khali won a dark match Battle Royal Edge D. Alberto Del Rio Cody Rhodes D. Rey Mysterio Big Show/Kane/Santino/Kofi D. The Corre Randy Orton D. CM Punk Michael Cole D. Jerry Lawler The Undertaker D. Triple H Trish/Snooki/Morrison D. Laycool/Ziggler The Miz D. John Cena Shocking that The IC/US titles werent defended. Gutted Del Rio didnt win, thought the title was defo changing hand's and a bit shocking being on at the start. And of course the crying over the car was a bit stupid. Glad Cody went over Rey, i heard that it was Rey that wanted that fued to put Cody over. CM Punk/Orton match was decent, although it was obviously SuperOrton to win, good finsh though. 8 Man tag waste of time. 6 person tag waste of time JoMo/Ziggler being there Cole/Lawler - ignore that Taker/HHH could've been better but was still good, think Taker is seriously ****ed, as he was holding his neck since the 2nd pedigree. Cena needs a kick up the arse, was shockingly bad Glad Miz retained, Although it wasnt clean, looked like a sore bump to the head before the double CO. Hopefully Cena moves away from the title scene and focuses on The Rock. Best match was Cody/Rey. And Zack Ryder was the best on the night, i think he got the biggest pop for singing that ****e.
i thought it was an awful ppv, i havent watched wrestling for about 9 months so i thought i would get wrestlemania, rather peed off that virgin media didnt provide it in HD. except for the taker-hhh match the others disapointing, cole vs lawler was just shocking,the only reason why they did this match was to get jr in the seat and keep him there for the rest of the ppv. i thought the taker-hhh match was the best match, taker was never going to lose thou. cena-miz was very poor,disapointing edge-del rio was good. i was looking forward to seeing the 8 man tag match, but it was over in about 30 seconds. pathetic, the 6 man one was just......well..... ****. lol i agree with the punk-orton match decent match. cody/rhodes was ok, it was a shame they scrapped the us title match, but they wanted to put the tag match on instead which lasted 30 seconds, rather strange.
Wasn't the tag team title on the line either? What the hell is the whole Michael Cole thing about anyway? He's always been an awful commentator and now we're subjected to watching him wrestle as well
It was a dreadful show. After the Rock fininshed his somewhat drawn out openning promo the PPV started off pretty well with a good match out of Del Rio and Edge - that the wrong man won at the time but probably right in hindsight now Edge has been forced to retire - followed by a good match between Mysterio and Rhodes but then the PPV took a down town with the squash of the Corre in less than two minutes. Orton and Punk had a good match but once more it came home to me that Orton is dreadfull at selling injuries and ruined the match somewhat in my opinion by not playing up the leg injury he was supposed to have. Cole vs Lawler should have been five minutes at most but dragged on for almost fourteen with Cole having far too much offense and the decision to award Cole a DQ victory made the lenght of the match pointless anyway (surprising Dean Malenko booked it though isn't it?). Undertaker vs Triple H was the best match on the card and kind of a throw back to the early 2000's - just without the blood - but the end was bad. The Undertaker should never end a match he wins on his back and he should always be able to walk away otherwise his entire image gets tarnished. It was an ego-stroke for Triple H, that he got to dominate the Undertaker at Wresltemania and lose due to carelessness. My main problem with it though was that there was no build up to it, no real feud, no reason for the fight and nothing riding on it except the streak. It had very little emotional involvement. Stratus, Snooki and Morrison vs Ziggler and Laycool was bad and pointless and the only good point about it was that it lasted only about four minutes. Cena vs the Miz was the worst Wrestlemania main-event I've ever seen. They didn't click inside the ring, the fans weren't into it, nobody cared who won or lost and the finish was dreadful and designed purely to build up a Cena/Rock match - by getting the Rock over at the expense of Cena and the Miz. If they wanted a Rock/Cena match they should have done all that stuff they did at Wrestlemania at Elimination Chamber instead and had the match this year, but no. We get a years cooling down time before the match happens. The biggest dissapointment for me was not only the decision to drop Sheamus vs Bryan for the US Title from the PPV to a Dark Match but to turn it into a battle royal that Khali won and then a squash match the next night. The vast majority of the Internet Wrestling Community were looking forward to this match because Sheamus and Bryan are two of the WWE's top young performers and given the chance to properly wrestle they could have stolen any show they were on but they were never given that chance.
