I don't get Cena's character. Ultra-patriotic wigger who is obsessed with the military and wears throwback inspired clothing and jean shorts which no one has worn since 1994.

At this point, I dont think they can afford to go with Taker vs anyone that isn't an established Main Event level calibre guy. Cena vs Taker would sell the PPV probably just as much as Taker vs HBK did this year. It wouldnt even need to be for a title or anything which would open up the title match for someone else. They could even go as far as to make it Taker's last match Win, Lose or Draw.

People bitch about this shit every year. No matter how the show is, you can BANK on coming on here and hearing about how dissapointed people were.
24 was amazing and I heard the same complaints. Also, I think the rose colored glasses of nostalgia are set to full strength if you call this a "one match show", and then put over Wrestlemania 12, or 13. Or 3 and 6 for that matter. |

Bret vs Vince was the only match that was awful, and I don't know how high expectations could have been.

Honestly I think it was more the length of the match than anything. When Bret has to fucking sit down to catch his breath, you know you booked the match about 10 minutes too long.

It was a bad show, that's why I'm saying it was disappointing.

I don't think this was a "one match show" as much as people were hoping something on the undercard would be a great match. Everything on the undercard was, well, undercard material. Nothing made a moment for itself. The Vince/Bret match was painful to watch. Rey and Punk were solid, but not enough hype for a great one. Edge/Jericho were solid to good. Bats and Cena were solid. But nothing jumped out.
And of course everyone is going to be POed that Shawn lost. This streak is getting damn stupid. There is no one that can me me believe that Taker will ever lose at Mania. Ever. |

lol I don't know how many of you have watched old wrestlemanias anytime recently, but they're not full of great matches top to bottom.
Most have more meaningless shit than this one. Way more. |

What he said.
I mean, really. They've built no one to have the capability of making a real genuine "feel-good" moment. They had the chance to tonight with HBK and it was just a total repeat of last year except not as good. What purpose was served? |

Theres a handful of guys that would make a good match with Taker at WM right now. Cena, Jericho and HHH stand out as guys that would be options for ME calibre matches with Taker which the streak has gotten. They could also go with Kane again based on backstory but he is really nothing more than a glorified jobber at this point. |

I thought 4 matches on the card were pretty good. It wasn't "Oh my god best show ever", but it was better than a lot of Wrestlemanias. Not in the top group, but nowhere near the bottom. |

Jack Swangle wins MITB? Wow, pretty shocking considering his jobber-like status of recent times.
Perhaps this explains the upcoming Money in the Bank PPV. Swangle cashes in and loses tomorrow and Vince goes "Well Damn. That was a waste. Screw it. We're having ANOTHER Money in the Bank match!" |

I was thinking 8 was better but I guess that show only had one "great match" in Savage/Flair and Taker/HBK tonight was better. Piper/Hart was pretty good but tonight had Jericho/Edge. I don't know really..... all I can say is that I was let down but this Mania wasn't one of the worst ever. I think it is going to get harsher treatment because it had really high expectations going in, where as last year the card wasn't anything special so no one cared it was a one match show.

If he's really retiring (I doubt he is even if he believes he is. It's wrestling. Come on.), but if he was really looking at this as his last match, it being to Taker after already losing to Taker last year is pathetic.
Like I said going in, I hate the face that the man pulls a 5 star match out of Taker that makes the demand for a rematch so high and his reward for that is jobbing AGAIN to him, being made to look like the worse man, not someone on the same level. |

Cena vs Batista wasn't a bad match at all. I don't think it's fair to class it as such because you hate both guys no matter what.

Taker/HBK was amazing and booked REALLY well. |
