HBM really stappled his Mr.WrestleMania tag tonight. The is NO question now. Before tonight there was some small argument for Kurt angle, but now? Only taker has anything that resembles a claim. And something tells me that match is likely to happen next year good Lord willing.

Honestly, I never saw an argument with Angle or anyone else. But yea, this makes it from general consensus to academic.
Taker/HBK will kick all kinds of ass. It really needs to happen. |

Flair retired now?
You know in wrestling, nobody EVER stays retired. They might stay retarted, but not retired. And that would be hilarious if Raven Symone said "Quote the Raven, nevermore" |

Ric Flair will never wrestle a match again. I'll bet my TPWW career on it.

You know, awhile back, I said I wanted to see HHH vs Flair at Mania, in basically the same scenario, where HHH, against his own desires, ends his mentors career. While I really wanted it to be HBM, I didn't think it would be. I was thrilled when it was, and honestly, this match couldn't have played out any better, in any scenario. As far as matches that tell great stories, it's tied for first in my book. I'd say it's first, but being the huge HBM mark that I am (he's like Flair for Destor to me), I can't knock down his return match with HHH from Summerslam. Still, two high profile matches that told amazing stories in the ring.
Shawn Micheals is the man. After last night, Flair may just be a deity. |

Ok, sponsered by FRUITY FRUITY SKITTLES BAH GAWD, Inno's Mania Thoughts
-John Legend is good -Finlay/JBL was a decent brawl, it needed to be it and it was. JBL winning probably means the feud continues -MITB....awesome. Some innovative spots, with Punk and Carlito both slingshotting onto ladders to Shelton almost impaling himself tring to slingshot, the ladders in a V was cool, with Morrison trying to climb it. Matt's return was great, best way to get to MVP. Punk hits Kennedy in the face with a ladder like Kennedy did to him last year, the Punk keeps getting knocked down by won't stay down, wins MITB...awesome. -Batista/Umaga....next -Thanks for coming Chavo -If you didn't get a little emotional during the Flair/Michaels match...you shouldn't be a wrestling fan, and you aren't a wrestling fan. Emotionally the match of the night, and emotionally the best Mania match in quite some time. It was a culmination of all of Flair's matches, and it was epic. Shawn pulling back on SCM to wind up in the Figure Four, to the pause before he nails him. Flair crying while being pinned, to Shawn crying...amazing. -Snoop throws a better clothesline than JBL, thats the only thing I can say about this. That and God must be a wrestling fan, cutting the lights out. -Thank god Orton won -How fast can Big Show be turned face during a match? INSTANTLY. It was what it was, better than it could have been. -This should have been the main event for Mania if they didn't want Michaels/Flair to end. Taker's entrance, awesome. Edge's entrance, awesome. Match itself? Great. Started off slow but told a great story. Edge counters all of Taker's signatures moves, even old school twice, Edge screaming at Taker that "It ends Deadman". Taker got the gogoplata over on Smackdown to where the crowd popped when he locked it on. Great ending, and Taker deserves a good run |

Flair is even more of the man after reading this:
Many wrestling fans were hopeful that Ric Flair's match against Shawn Michaels would be the final match to close out last night's WrestleMania XXIV. It turns out that Flair was offered the main event spot but turned it down. There was a pitch made by a creative team member to have the final shot of WrestleMania be a spotlight on Flair's boots and robe. However, Flair strongly disagreed with those sentiments when the idea was brought up to him during a press conference held prior to the WWE Hall of Fame convention. Flair told reporters that nothing is more important than the title belts and insisted that his match with Michaels did not belong in the main event position. I agree with him completely, I would have loved for him to end the night and he more than deserved it, but his ability to keep the focus on the future and the promotion and not indulge his ego shows why he is a true class act and God in the business. |

It all went down perfectly I think. Also, kudos to Edge and Taker for going out there and putting on the match they did to end the night. They didn't steal the show, because that's impossible given the magnitude of Flair/HBM, but they gave it their all and did as well as anyone probably could have. Under any other circumstances they prob would have been match of the night. Great job by them keeping the main event special and not letting the show fizzle out. |

They really succeeded where others have failed in that position.
Triple H/Jericho, and even Brock/Angle and a handful of others have failed in this situation, as talented as they are. |

I was disappointed with the show overall. The triple threat wasn't very good and orton retaining was just... whatever. The show ending with Taker celebrating his win was not a "Wrestlemania ending" for me. Show losing to Mayweather in the fashion he did was TERRIBLE.
While HBK vs. Flair was an absolute CLASSIC match/moment and MITB was great as was the actual Taker-Edge match, the show overall just let me down. |

The main event was a great match. At first I didn't like that it started out a little slow, but the more the match progressed the better it got. So starting off slow was great. I believed Edge could have won that match... even knowing Taker's streak wasn't going to end.
It reminded me of X-Pac vs Rock for the title. I knew X-Pac wasn't going to win, but it sure seemed like he was going to. |
