HBK Upset About 'Mania Match

As fot the no-selling of the leg, it has happened way too many times in matches (believe it or not, but HBK also does that himself in his matches). It's amazing how people can blame that for the reason why the match wasn't a classic.

Heck, for those who said HBK was going to get a MOTY out of Cena (I think it was Jeritron who said that somewhere) all you needed to do was watch the first 3 mins of the elimination chamber match at NYR 2006 to realise that HBK-Cena was never going to be a classic.

And whilst I'm on the subject, HBK was booed quite a lot during his entrance (more than Cena was, and way more than anybody could have guessed) even if that wasn't picked up much on tv... no doubt that would have pissed him off more than he let on.

What could have made the match even better would be if both wrestlers made the cover on each other straight after hitting their finishers on one another. I don't see why they would wait so long other than they wanted to protect how good their finishers are in front of the fanboys. It was the main event of Wrestlemania, the perfect opportunity to add more drama to the match by making a quick cover and then a kickout (a la Angle-HBK WM21 and Rock-Hogan WM18).

Man, Batista/Taker should have been the main event. That was the match that had the crowds eating out of their hands (metaphorically speaking)
