At some point I need watch XIV again to know exactly how much I did or didn't like it but I do know I thought the match at XXVIII was overbooked as his matches have been lately. TBH even worse than the HBK ones. Just my opinion though.

The symbol for 15 is XV not XIV. How was it overbooked. It had awesome build up. Much better than I thought wwe capable of.

Forgive me, I put an "I" up by mistake, it's not like I didn't properly put XV in the first post...

IDK maybe it was all the chair shots and sledgehammers or perhaps the biased ref interfering. Or maybe all the finisher kick-outs. Like you know, when he kicked out of a SCM/Pedigree combination. I checked out right there, that was beyond ridiculous to me.

I don't see that as overbooking.

Kip James and Syxx Pac making run in's? A cello so you won't lose the belt for hitting someone with a guitar?

THAT'S overbooking. :

That's also overbooking but of a different nature though. When you're supposed to believe a single finisher can put you out, it's incredibly dumb to see someone kick out of nearly ten finishers in one match, especially when hit with both a SCM and a Pedigree. They basically made UT look like a god or made HHH and HBK look super weak. One or the other IMHO. IDK I just couldn't look past that stuff anymore. I just remember when UT would put on a good match that told a real story and involved at max two finisher kick outs. And back then, you didn't actually know he'd go over. I just miss the magic! :

I let go of the magic a long time ago, now I just watch for the spectacle. Regardless of my dislike of the streak and the fact that he only wrestles once a year, there's just something about watching The Undertaker's entrance. That alone makes 'Mania feel like 'Mania, which I guess is partially what they're going for with it these days.

He can have his entrance AND put someone over...

 

[Hoss]

All entrances from that point on would be obsolete though.

I doubt that. But honestly he only needs one more. After that he needs to retire.

 

[Hoss]

He could retire now and I wouldn't mine. Methinks it's time to forge a new 'Mania tradition.

I'd say the ending to his last match could serve as a fantastic image of his retirement. I don't know if he'll ever get another moment quite like that.

 

[The Viper]

I'm sorry but The Undertaker just needs to face Cena at Wrestlemania. I think that one match will draw more than the last 4 'Taker 'Mania matches combined (or at least the last 2). I think if it never happens, the WWE will regret it in the long run.

he still has John Cena

 

[Smart Marx]

I honestly do not want to see another notch in the streak, especially not John Cena.

I just got through watching Impact, and it was a decent enough show.

I enjoyed Aries/Xion, great match.

The stuff with Joseph Park and Bully Ray was interesting, and thank goodness for Bully Ray. He saved us from having to watch Crimson/Morgan.

Although, I am far from being a fan, it is interesting that Abyss is back.
