I thought the IC title match was fine. JBL comes out and cuts a fantastic promo hyping himself to be this amazing wrestler then gets humiliated on the biggest stage in wrestling and so he quits. Now he can go back to the booth where he instantly makes the whole product more enjoyable.

TPWW's HHH Mark Since '04

WrestleMania 25 was "booking 101" with a few fuck ups (mainly time: Kid Rock, Mickey Rourke).
MONEY IN THE BANK --> An over babyface wins, and it so happens he won it last year. COOL KID ROCK --> REALLY REALLY LONG CROWD-KILLER DIVAS BATTLE ROYAL --> UNDERWHELMING CLUSTERFUCK OF SHIT MATT VS JEFF --> Good match with typical hardy spots, HEEL WINS! (Interesting to see where that goes) JBL VS REY --> Retiring heel is made a fool out of by babyface. TAKER VS MICHAELS--> Instant Classic. 2 of the best in the world just do what they do best. CENA/SHOW/EDGE --> Cena wins! (Poor Edge.) HHH/ORTON --> Babyface gets payback on the heel (even though he had to use a sledgehammer to beat him) Last edited by James Steele; 04-06-2009 at 03:30 AM. |

My thoughts:
- Money in the Bank was okay. A lot of blown spots, but as someone said, this kinda match isn't easy, so it's fine. Kofi Kingston was great in this match. - Kid Rock sucked, and went on for AGES! - Diva Battle Royal was absolutely shit! Not only a total waste of time, but they didn't even do individual entrances so people can mark out for old-school divas (which in all fairness, no one cared about anyway). Santino dancing was hilarious, but overall it's sad to think they took the Tag Team title match off the card for this! - I felt Jericho's match was a waste of a potential five star Jericho match anyway, BUT a nice surprise was seeing Steamboat pulling off the stuff he was doing. I think WWE fans are use to seeing Piper and Snuka "one more time", but with Steamboat it was totally new and a pleasent surprise. - The Rouke section went on for too long IMO. - The Hardys match was good but I feel could have been better. How long has Matt been wearing tights? I think it totally didn't suit him and make his gut stick out. However I was very pleased that Matt won, sadly I doubt anything will come out of this (like a main event push). - Rey Mysterio VS JBL is the same as the Diva match, only without Santino's dancing. The whole "quick win" was done last year and isn't that clever anymore. JBL's announcement was shit. - 'Taker VS HBK. I think the voting results above speak for themselves. AMAZING! - Triple Threat match was going good but ended too soon I feel. Pretty good match, ending was a shame though, but Cena picking up Big Show and Edge was cool. It was cool hearing Cena's old music coz that suited him so much better, but then the other one played and it all went gay again. - Main event sucked balls. Terrible match, worse finish. I was sat there thinking "25 years of Wrestlemania, all comes down to this one main event..." and the match was god awful. Mental note I realised during this match: the last seven WM appearances by HHH have all been Title matches. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let that be it! Overall this was a shit WM. Good PPV but a huge dissapointment for such a milestone event. With every landmark edition (IE: 15, 20, 25 etc) they have to make it feel like "the biggest WM of all time", but god this one was just plain horrible. The stage was really cool though. Worth seeing for: 'Taker VS HBK, Triple Threat, Hardys match, Steamboat VS Jericho. |

I thought it was a pretty good show. Not as good as the Rumble but not bad. Too much fluff and filler to be a great show though. I expected an all time great match from Taker and HBK and my expectations were met and then exceeded. Steamboat was amazing and made the legends match enjoyable. I became a big Kofi Kingston fan tonight as he really impressed me. I will never complain about CM Punk getting a push, although I'd prefer it was as a heel. Cena/Big Show/Edge was a lot better than I was expecting. Decent pace and a nice finish. Hardys were as good as I expected and I was very happy that Matt won. JBL's segment (that's really all it was) was enjoyable. HHH/Orton was disappointing overall but not because HHH won. It shouldn't have main evented. The battle royal was a pile of shit but Santino is the man so whatever. Still super pissed that they bumped the tag match for that Kid Rock bullshit. I guess this is proof that they still don't see Morrison as a star yet.
A lot about this PPV annoyed me, but there were more positives than negatives. Here's hoping Kid Rock gets cancer. |

Thinking about some more now:
6. Orton got hardly any 'heel time' which meant there was no heat for a comeback, in fact HHH controlled too much of it for me, he never looked like he was in trouble |

Having Orton/HHH with that whole "DQ and you lose the belt" stipulation kinda killed it. After that feud, their match should have been a bloodbath with weapons and the like.
Anyway...still amazed at Taker/Michaels. I can't remember the last time I had my disbelief suspended like that. Deep down I felt Taker would win, but so many times I thought "it's over!" I gasped when HBK kicked out of the first Tombstone. And even though I KNEW the match wouldn't end in countout, Taker fell on his ass at like the count of 9 and I was like NOOOOOO. |

Bellfast Bomber has some great points. I think that we were punished by not seeing Orton get some credible offense in. This could still be a good feud, but I don't know if all the parties has what it takes to take this fued to the next level.

Nothing beats Piper's language. It was like he was pissed.
Nah, seriously, I missed out on loads due to my event going down the pan halfway through. They have said they have refunded to my next bill though. so if anyone knows where I can find the last 2 hours, please let me know!!! I only saw half of The Hardy's and it all went fucked and finally off. |

You guys are acting like Rey and JBL should've gone 15 minutes and put on a 5 star classic. What else did you want? You got a great promo from JBL, you got Rey in and out of the ring in under 5 minutes, and you got a segway into JBL's return to commentary where he excels and instantly makes whatever show he's on watchable.
And don't tell me it's because they disrespected the IC title. The IC title hasn't meant a thing in years. |

If Taker/HBK ended the show then people might have thought the streak could end which would have had people on the edge of their seats (even though they probably were) but everything after Taker/HBK was disapointing it was one of the best all time

Edge, Cena and Show was alright, some funny moments in it like when Edge kicked the steel steps into Show's legs.
