... View MoreWith a year of frustration with The Authority, Daniel Bryan seeks to win it all on the grandest stage of them all, Bray Wyatt looks to get into John Cena's head and Brock Lesnar does the unthinkable. The only entertaining match of that night was the one between Cena and Wyatt but the absolute worst mistake and abomination of all time was the dumb match between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker with the unthinkable happening since the Deadman was defeated and the face of the fans still haunts me to this day everyone was shocked and everyone basically hated the hell out of it it had dumb matches and even the big match with Bautista and Orton i just felt tricked after what basically happened that night this is the absolute worst Mania ever!!!
... View MoreDiary of an insane wrestling nerd: Rock/Austin/Hogan's opening segment was pretty cheesy and lame; worst of all running far longer than it should have. I weep for when they took their characters seriously. Probably took time out of the other matches if that's how it works, even though it doesn't make any sense for ppv's to have a strict run time, especially 'Mania. I will ponder this by my pond; shall we continue?Triple H/Daniel Bryan was great. Might go down as one of my favorites. The main event hit all the right notes as well. It's a shame that Bryan's injuries have finally caught up with him; I don't know why they let him use the diving head-butt after the Benoit tragedy.'Taker and/or Vince wanted the sad "broken-down-warrior-dies-fighting" ending, but it just came off as anti climactic. Lesnar was as gassed as 'Taker; pretty mundane affair. The shock ending was a great moment just on fan/Heyman/Lesnar reactions alone.I liked Cena/Wyatt though the way they booked who won at each ppv over the course of the feud was completely off & made the whole thing pointless(Cena should've only beaten him in the Last Man Standing match).The Shield match was pointless and almost killed Billy Gunn(oh the humanity!). They had to immediately hit the rewind on Kane afterwords to make up for it.Everyone else was thrown into a decent battle royal; kiss any solid under-card matches goodbye.I either skipped or blocked the opening tag match out of my mind, I'll let you decide, though the wrestlers involved are good so I might have to go with the former if I were you.AJ destroyed the other divas; at least the right girl won.All in all, this ppv proves that filler matches matter on the Grandest Stage of the all, as most of the marquee matches delivered, yet a feeling of emptiness pervades once its all said and done.
... View More* This year marked the 30th Anniversary of WrestleMania! I give my thoughts in parenthesis after the match result.1. Daniel Bryan b. Triple H to advance to the main event. (Great opening match.) 2. The Shield b. Kane and The New Age Outlaws. (The Shield won another match at Mania. While the match was nothing to ride home about The Shield brings it and are so fun to watch. As for the Outlaws, I had been very interested in seeing where they were going but after dropping the tag titles they have seemingly gone nowhere. I just am not interested in seeing them anymore especially considering the direction the WWE is now moving into.3. Cesaro b. 30 Superstars to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. (Nice win for Cesaro and even more impressive was how he lifted Big Show and got him over the top rope!) 4. John Cena b. Bray Wyatt. (I like most figured Cena would win, but Bray and the family have lost nothing here.) 5. Brock Lesnar b. The Undertaker to end his undefeated streak. (What a move! In no way what so ever should this have ended this way. If Undertaker was ready to retire he should have retired undefeated at WrestleMania. How this all went down will never be forgotten and as sad as it is its truly the end of an era. The biggest match of the year we all looked so forward to will now be no more. This match was why I gave the show 8/10 this year.) 6. A.J. Lee b. The Divas Division to retain the Divas Championship. (Not much to say as AJ was never in doubt of losing her title.) 7. Daniel Bryan b. Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat match to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. (What an awesome moment and something that Bryan truly deserved. YES! YES! YES! YES!!)
