Cody losing made very little sense, imo.

Congrats Big Show on your WrestleMania moment, which was winning a second-rate title for the first time ever after winning six world titles!

other than the Intercontinental Title match I was 100% satisfied with Wrestlemania


Don't know why everyone is upset about the Sheamus match though. I was watching it with 15 people and everyone loved it. I feud that had as little buildup as that deserved a match as short as that.

The only real problem I have with it is that a potentially great match was never given time.

Well at least Taker/HHH did everything I wanted it to!

Punk/Y2J was decent, I liked the psychology going in different directions each time the last one didn't work out, don't see much of that, not the way they do it anyway.

Rock/Cena was dumb. They did the right thing there but the wrong way of going about it. Time for a new direction with Cena or it's even worse.

Most everything else was serviceable. The Funkasaurus, live acts and DB match were insulting. I split this show with a friend and they continually find ways to make a paying customer feel stupid for being such. If that's it for Taker, that might be my last WM purchase ever.

Bah, Rock/Cena was freaking stupid. The match was so good but that ending is leaving me so sour that it ruined the whole event for me.

Good thing that other than Punk/Jericho (arguably) there was nothing to ruin.

Gonna go out on a limb and rank it UNDER last years mania,.

Rock beating Cena the greatest thing ever to ever happen ever. Of a lifetime.

Show beating Cody sucks but annoyingly I totally saw it coming, because in-storyline Cody absolutely deserved it. I had Show by DQ out of hope, but yeah... it sucks the feud and story was written that way. Bryan/Sheamus I didn't see coming and that sucked. I can SORT of buy that it made sense character-wise but it's insulting to people who wanted a good match there, even if it had only been 7 or 8 minutes. I don't like that SD's main-event gets such little respect and Bryan was clearly over with the crowd. A real shame.

Every other match ranged from "eh" to great, and Punk/Jericho seems better in hindsight because I was disappointed with it at first, but the second half was pretty outstanding and it was just generally very polished and told a decent story.

Taker/HHH was more theatre than wrestling and I loved that. It seemed to have more energy than last year's, as well, in the early stages.

But yeah entire show's flaws are totally and completely papered over by Rock winning. Amazing.

So glad I'm not the only one that noticed this.

Yes, Rock made his jokes and smiled and all that s***... when Cena wasn't around.

But every time they were in the ring, Rock never broke character. Never smiled. Always looked focus and ready.

Cena SAID all the right things, but when he was in the ring with Rock he'd make that stupid s***-eating grin and spend more time playing with the audience than addressing The Rock. Sure, he'd get fired up and intense at times, but there was one image that seemed pretty important to me: as RAW is going off the air, you have Cena and Rock face to face. Rock is staring intensely. Cena is smirking.

Maybe creative will run with this. Doubtful, but I'm just glad Cena losing keeps us from returning to the status quo.

Punk/Jericho was disappointing only because there were reports that both Punk and Jericho were saying they were going to steal the show, and I'm sure many (me included) expected a real classic performance. It was still a very good wrestling match though.

could have had it happen after 8 minutes of token wrestling, though - I didn't expect they'd give the match much of a chance, but even what they did shocked me.

Youre a bloody fool if you think that Cenas no going to be pursuing the world title after or at ER. This changes nothing. Cena will be the same and nothing will change, except now all of us are confirmed kayfabe morons for still liking wrestling and Cena.

So where does the Smackdown main event scene go now anyway? It's all so irrelevant. Christian was proven to be incompetent last year, Show is in the mid card and he and Henry are proven to be inept because they couldn't get the title from Bryan. Orton presumably will continue with Kane, plus he lost to Kane so he's clearly not that great anymore. Sheamus is a pretty empty champion because he didn't earn the title at all since his opponent was so worthless; Bryan shouldn't even get a rematch because it's a plot hole if he isn't immediately fired since he's objectively an atrocious, talentless idiot in kayfabe. What happens from here? The only people who have any credibility are Orton and Sheamus, and one is busy and the other is already champion. There are no challengers that look like they have a better chance than any random drunken hobo picked up off the street.

The last-minute stip killed it a little, because the start was slow. Even when Jericho stopped trying to make it work there was hardly any real pace to it.

But yeah, I would say it was very good - but not omg the best wrestling match ever, which is what I wanted.

Then it literally 100% does not matter who won. If either option leads to a return to the status quo then there was no point in winning.

If Cena beat Rock, there'd be Attitude fans who will be pissed off and further turned off to the product. You weren't suddenly going to see an uptick in ratings and fans with Cena going over Rock because Cena is such a divisive figure. Fans of Cena are still going to be fans of Cena, and non-fans of Cena are still going to be non-fans, and Cena going over Rock would just alienate them more.

This ending forces the WWE to have to try and change the status quo. If they don't, then they have no one to blame but themselves if they take a hit from it. They have a change to experiment with Cena, and if they blow it then all that means is the WWE is going down not because "OMG Rock went over Cena" and more "creative sucks."
