I'm one of the most critical of the writing and production around here, but overall I'm glad I went ahead and paid for this Mania. Was it perfect or as good/better than other past Mania's? No, but I really didn't expect it to be. I honestly expected to be disappointed and get a worse Mania than what we got. Sure there were flaws, no doubt, but I enjoyed it overall.
The thing that made me want to buy it was not just the card or any quality matches by themselves, but the writing and the build up to the matches on the card. I loved the writing, promos and build up to Lawler vs Cole, Cena vs Miz and Taker vs HHH. The other matches on the card like Edge vs Del Rio, the mixed tag, and Orton vs Punk I wasn't necessarily looking forward to from a writing/build up perspective, but from a quality/entertaining match perspective. |

ugh..I don't know I feel about this Mania. Hit or Miss.
Some good decisions and some bad ones. Weird pacing. Some stuff was not necessary like making the 8 man tag so fucking short. Def. liked the ending. Pissed that Del Rio did not win because I am a fucking mark. |

That HHH/Taker match was pretty terrible. Did not "have" me until pretty much the end of the match with HHH doing the tombstone.
Match of the night was by far Cody Rhodes/Rey Mysterio. Cody Rhodes put in the performance of the night in m opinion... which is astounding. Edge/Del Rio was a good match too, but I give Cody/Rey the honors over it. |

All Taker has to do is beat Waltman and Hall at another Wrestlemania and he will have defeated the Kliq.

If you detest it so much, then how is it forgettable? You will surely remember it, if only for the wrong reasons in your case anyway
You either liked it or you didn't, I don't feel there is any point discussing this anymore. |

Pretty average Wrestlemania that felt more like an extra long RAW episode or regular ppv instead of being the main ppv for the year but mostly due to pacing problems similar to last year's Mania.
Not counting the IC title match not being televised, the 8-man tag match shouldn't have ended up as the shortest match of the night and felt like a throw-away match. I did like the title matches, the ending to Mania, and most of Lawler vs Cole. The ending to Taker-HHH was also good considering the transition of Taker barely avoiding a loss with HBK to tonight barely able to move after his brutal fight with Triple H. |

Quite disappointed with the midcard, to be honest, but the start and finish were fun as hell to be a part of. Had no real quarrels with Cole v Lawler, but I was too far away to see any botches Cole may have made, didn't seem too long; and the reversed finish was just so dumb I found it funny. No way Cole should have "won".

I think your taker sign made it to TV, but it could well have been a dozen other people. Take a look when you can.

Anyone that says they expected Snooki to even perform half as well as she did, even given the little she was involved in the match, is completely full of shit. I was actually impressed with her and really expected much worse from her.

She performed better tonight than what LayCool has the past year. If she ever sticks around as a Diva, I think she could actually do well.

its the fact that she isnt a "superstar" and she pulled that handspring thing off pretty damn flawlessly. everyone expected her to be a fat sack of chud but she showed she was athletic to some point. after seeing that, i would deff let her show me her athleticism in the bedroom, but lights would still be off.

About the reversed finish, and relating to The Rock ignoring the GM in the end: I think they are going to reveal the GM pretty soon. Hence the increased "heelish" activity and interaction.

I'm not one to bitch that often but it's Mania.
First off. Why the hell change the end of Lawler-Cole? What does Cole get by getting that decision reversed? Give Lawler the moment he earned. The hell. I know some will disagree but I hated the end of that. It should have been left with Miz standing in the ring. Puts him over ever more as a Heel Champion. Unless the Rock is staying for a long period of time it was pointless. Also pissed they took Sheamus/Bryan off basically due to the long boring Rock promo at the start. That could have been a great, a solid at the very least match. |

Um, maybe to further the storyline with Cole, the RAW GM, etc. Hmm... maybe if you turn into RAW they might actually make something out of it. Jesus Christ. Fucking dumbass.

By the way, I probably did cross the line with the name calling earlier and I'm big enough to admit that and apologize for it. I just felt like they gave Lawler a cool WM moment and a true victory and then went on to further the storyline with a reverse decision by the GM. |

How am I caricature, I layed out what I liked and what I didn't. The fact is for a WrestleMania, for the so called show case of the immortals, for the Granddaddy of them all, it blew.
It started off great Edge/ADR and Rey/Cody were great matches, it just dropped off a mountain after that with the exception of Punk/Orton being decent and HHH/Taker having some solid moments spread out over 30 mins of rest and spot fest but all in all nothing was a classic and it didn't have a single honest to god Wrestlemania moment Last edited by Lara Emily; 04-04-2011 at 01:31 AM. |

I really don't see how this card could have delivered anymore than it did. Card order was perfect, each match was given time (except for an 8-man tag that no one cares about), and every match was enjoyable.
