I liked it, except for Barrett beating Taker.
Yes, I am a massive Undertaker mark and feel he should not be beaten at Mania.
The way I would book the ending to that match, just like you have it, Barrett has Taker up for the Wasteland, and delays it, then executes it, goes for the pin, but Taker kicks out. Barrett delivers Wasteland again, Taker kicks out. Undertaker gets a little bit of offense in, maybe a big boot, knocking them both over, but Taker manages to roll out of the ring. Barrett recovers, goes out to get Taker, rolls him in, and delivers Wasteland again. Undertaker kicks out again, which sends Barrett into a rage, he mounts Taker and is just raining down punches until the referee DQs him. Barrett doesn't let up, he continues the beating. Three or four refs come down to get Barrett off of Taker and force him to the outside. The refs are kneeling around Taker, but Barrett grabs his ankles and pulls Taker outside the ring. Barrett delivers Wasteland on the outside, hauls Taker back into the ring, covers him and counts the 3 himself.
