I'm glad I ordered this Mania.I just had a feeling it would be worth it, and I was right.I think the crowd really made the show though, they were into it more than any other crowd i've seen in a while.Now onto what I think about the matches..

Big Show/Kane V Carlito/Masters

I was expecting like many others, for the titles to go to Carlito/Masters, but that wasn't a big deal.It's good that the titles remain where they're for now, as it keeps us guessing.It was a decent opening match.

Good MITB match, expected it to be longer.Anyone know if Flairs injury was real?If it was, then that just makes me want to go to WWE and say 'i told you so'.Shelton is made for this kind of match.Hopefully he'll win it next year.RVD was always meant to win this time.Can't wait for RVD to win the title.

I was moved by the HOF stuff when Vicki/Chavo came out,made me wish I was there so i could chant Eddie's name.I kinda feel like Eddie should've been there and be facing Angle for the title.

JBL/Benoit

I'm annoyed that JBL won the title, Benoit needs a long title reign and the WWE had a good chance to give him one here but i knew it wouldn't happen.1 month title reigns really don't interest me, especially after he went through a lot to get it.Oh and i hate Jillian, her 'come oooonnnn' chants are so fucking fake its not funny.She makes me want to turn the volume down.You don't have to react to every damn move.This is what some women don't understand about wretsling and being at ringside.

Edge/Foley

Was a great match, watching it now on the repeat on Box office.Loved the bit its showing now when Foley revealed the barbwire he had guarding his chest after Edge did the spear.And Foley got his mania moment.Edge really took a sick bump to.

LOL@the freaks with Booker T/sharmell bit.I think were seeing why the boogeyman has this worms gimmick though, because its meant to cover up the fact that he's a shit wrestler.Was still an entertaining match.

Trish/Mickie James

Great match despite the botched finish, but the quality of the match made you not care about that.The crowd really made this match, and hopefully WWE will book feuds with this much attention to detail in future.

Taker/Henry could've been a piss-break match but the last ride/tombstone on Henry made it worth watching.

Vince/Shawn

Loved the bit where the Mcmahon family were praying to God and Vince goes 'Hey God, I don't like you and you don't like me'

..the match was everything i expected it to be to.Had a great finish to it with Shawn jumping of the high ladder.

Triple threat match should've been longer, i don't think i can buy Rey as champ until he beats Angle in a classic match.It was great though.Loved the fast paced action.Angle should've retained and this match should've been on last, but then it was stupid of me to think WWE would follow there own logic of the show that wins the rumble gets to main event at WM

HHH/Cena

This was a match the crowd made and they really showed up the WWE's poor ability to book a face.If this doesn't make Vince take notice then nothing will.Was a bit of a weak/rushed finish i feel.HHH should've won though.Oh and I liked the entrances.They gave the match a special mania feel.

Overall this was a good Mania, it had that feel to it.I think it was the crowd that did that.Can't wait till Mania gets held in Chicago again.
