Triple H wasn't even on the card, and I think it is highly underrated.

MITB was awesome.
ECW Originals vs ECW New Breed was good.
Undertaker/Batista was awesome.
Cena/HBK was awesome (in spite of Cena completely ruining the ending)
Battle of the Billionaires was memorable.
Benoit/MVP was awesome.
Melina vs Ashey was like 4 minutes long. PERFECT!
Khali/Kane was meh, but it served its purpose. (Break/Cool Bodyslam spot)

The set and all the pyro was just jaw-dropping. I really wish Triple H could have participated in the event. (Cena/HHH II was supposed to happen until his Quad injury at New Years' Revolution 2007 when DX faced Rated RKO). I truly felt like a mark during the show, and I remember believing with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING that Shawn Michaels was going to beat John Cena for the WWE Championship. Of course, he tapped to the STFU like HHH the year prior and I felt raped. Luckily, the show has held up very well over 4 years. This was also the first Stadium WrestleMania since WrestleMania XIX and it really was the first WrestleMania to have that supercard megashow feel to it since WrestleMania XIX. WrestleMania XX was more of a historical appreciation thing and the emotional ending. WrestleMania 21 and 22 were in arenas RAW had been in often and didn't have that "showcase of the immortals" feel to it despite being awesome fucking shows. Angle/HBK is something I could watch every day.
