Triple H and Undertaker did what 98% of the roster...including your precious fucking Sheamus and Barrett CAN'T DO...sell a moment and a match off pure emotion and intensity. There are no words that can describe the goosebumps I felt when Triple H and Undertaker locked eyes. There are no words that can describe the feeling that overtook my body when two of the absolute biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling set the stage for an epic encounter on the grandest stage of them all. You people bitch about poor midcarders and stifled pushes. You stay bitter, angry, and constantly bitching about what could have been. Accept this gift Vince McMahon has chosen to give us this year. I along with millions around the world will enjoy this epic encounter between two immortals of the wrestling world. Triple H vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII. Vince, here is $60 may I please have another!

Well given you have HHH's logo as your avatar here, I'm going to assume you kinda sorta love H. So your opinion of the matter might be just a tad bit biased.

Now you raise good points about selling a moment. These two have done it before. But how did they do that last night? They stared at each other, they looked at some logo, and then proceeded to take two minutes to use all their non-verbal taunts and wow we have a match!

I'll admit too my point is a bit biased too. I was totally sold on the youth movement going on in the WWE as they were in a desperate need to have one. With HBK retiring, Y2J, Batista leaving and HHH and Taker being hurt every other PPV the roster was depleted.

And the writers for a period of about five-seven months did a superb job of elevating wrestlers into credible main eventers. And now, on the one show a fan will buy merely because of its name, they had a chance for these guys to showcase WHY they were in these spots.

Instead we get a recycled match that will do neither wrestler any good, AND stunts the growth of the future.

I love HHH and Taker, but I totally disagree with you that there was a good build to this match last night. You want a good build with the heat of him losing his friend? Have HHH try to superkick him to end the segment. THAT would have gotten a lot of people such as myself pretty happy.
