WWE WrestleMania XXIX - The Undertaker vs. CM Punk
As much as I loved the Living Colour playing Punk to the ring, Taker’s entrance is just phenomenal with the zombie arms grabbing at him from heel, that was a sign that this will be the MOTN and boy did they deliver. The opening 3 maybe 4 minutes were brilliant with Punk showing he’s not scared so he would mock him and slap him twice in the face. I did mark for so much in this like Punk’s sinister smiley every time he was offense, him doing “old school” twice but the second time FAIL’ing. The counter and near falls off the chokeslam and top rope elbow drop in the middle were great. Also I loved the elbow on the announce table but I couldn't help but laugh that the table didn't break just to have BROCK! Break it on a simple suplex. OH! And Taker sitting up after the vice just to have Punk hit him with the GTS just for Taker to bounce off the ropes and hit the tombstone! FUCK! ME! Them paying homage to the WM X-Seven spot with the urn instead the hammer was another great moment then we get to the finish with the back and forth counters with the GTS & Tombstone but Taker used his bigger frame and power the end it with a hilarious tombstone. The only slight problem I had with it was Taker missing the big boot but went shin first into the top turn buckle but they that in the match and everyone knows Taker’s weakness is his knees. ****1/4

You wanna to watch a mess of a match well here ya go. You got an elimination match during a time that a lot of elimination matches don't happen just to mock that whatever Football can do, WWE can do better. In this case it's not better at all. The first thing the wrestlers do is expose the rules of the match like they always did in multi-man like this at this time. You know when you get tagged in to face your partner and you have to have some contact with them before you are even allowed to tag out. It's like all the wrestlers know this rule is stupid so they are like "HEY LET'S DO IT ANYWAYS!" So that's what you get to start off this massacre. Also you have to remember each team gets one time out. Well the time out rules leads to a confusing and utterly lame looking closeline by SID to either Razor or Vega to the back of the head to get them outta of the match after a pinfall. It took forever to get to this first fall or at least it felt like it since most of the exchanges just suck. No idea why Razor tagged with Savio either. If you watch WWE's last PPV before this IYH: Season Beatings he teams with Marty Jannetty as Savio plays a gullible babyface during some shitty ass Santa segment. Well Razor/Jannetty's opponents on that faithful night were SID & THE KID. I'm just upset because the best parts of that match were the exchanges between Jannetty and Pac. Of course this match has Owen Hart though so that makes up for that at least when he's in the ring yet he takes the next fall all while Yokozuna who can barely get around is screaming for a time out outside the ring because he can't make the save. UGHUGHUGH! We finally get down to the last two teams and you think the Smoking Guns are just gonna lose to SID. Right? Naw they pull it out somehow so at least this match proves that teamwork should matter not just in Football but in wrestling. YAY! I'm probably being too generous with my rating here but it was still a novel idea and nobody in their mind should have ever thought this would be great by any means.
