PUNK! I have a feeling the results of this one aren't going to be lose but they probably should be.

 

[PHX]

As I said before not voting against Punk's title win.

 

[Tapout]

Was anyone actually suprised that it was Rock? Was pretty freaking predictable.

Punks win was just...historic. The crowd. The match. The story. Everything came together to make a very rare Magic moment in wrestling.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

Went with Rock's return, but am perfectly happy with either winning

 

[The Cork]

Punk winning the strap was the low point in 2011.

Rock FIIIINNNNALLLLLLY coming back after so long was the high point.

 

[Dale]

Rock's return was predictable, seriously? 7+ years away from the business and it was predictable? Hell, I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure the dirtsheets weren't even reporting Rock as being the host.

Could quite easily vote for the Punk winning the title given the whole buildup was great as was the night of the PPV, the crowd, the match etc but I just have to go with The Rock returning. Just seemed like that with each passing year, he was never going to return home but the night he did was just surreal and while the two hiatuses were completely different ends of the scale, it was just as surreal as Bret Hart's return. Seeing Rock back in a WWE ring cutting a promo like he'd never missed a beat, the fans going wild and being locked in like only he does was just mark out worthy.

 

[PHX]

It was rumored in the dirtsheets but I still wouldn't call it predictable.

 

[Tapout]

As soon as they mentioned that they were announcing the WrestleMania host, I knew it was Rock. All the websites I go to were reporting it as being the Rock. It wasn't even a shock. When he music hit, I was like "Yep, its The Rock." Then changed the channel.

 

[Troy]

Both quality moments but I had to go for The Rock. One of the greatest of all time returning after so many years away when it seemed like he would never return has to get my vote.

 

[rawisrey]

The Rock return wasn't very big to me, all things considered when it happened I thought "Oh cool" and then when he got a mic in his hand it sunk in that Rock was just going to be in some backstage segments at mania and I didn't really care. CM Punk winning the title was something I wanted to happen ad yet had fully expected not to happen in some way or another, marked out and thus it is the better mark out moment for me at least.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Punk to put this baby kid to sleep. Really, I just mark more for amazing matches than amazing moments.

 

[Chris Dresdon]

Rock returning to host Wrestlemania wasn't predictable for me, so I legitimately marked out for that entire segment, I still love watching it. However, the Punk title win is a bigger moment in my opinion.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I think the thing about CM Punk winning the title for me was his face. He looked extremely happy like he had just won the lottery. Truly a great moment for wrestling at that time where it just seemed like you were being fed the same baby food. This was the steak to our salad so to speak.

The Rock being revealed as the host or whatever was great, the crowd went nuts, but if you look back at Punk's history, it just made a bigger impact for me.

 

[Keith]

I was suprised at the Rock returning, but him hosting Mania wasn't really that special, the whole story and emotion surrounding Punk's title win was special.
