Wow, am I the only one who really liked this PPV?
There were some big flaws though. The biggest being the complete lack of promos... What the hell was with that? No interviews with superstars, and nothing happening backstage.
However, I have no complaints about the matches, or outcomes...
-MITB was pretty good. One noticeable botch, but the match made up for it. Better than I expected with Henry and Finlay in there. This match was good. enough for me. 3.5/5
-The divas battle royale was a clusterfuck, but they made it tollerable by making it fairly quick, and not to chaotic. Bad match, decent comedy 1.5/5
-The Jericho vs Legends was actually quite good. Steamboat was the best of all the legends, and did pretty damn good. The story of this match also helped it. 3/5
-Hardy vs Hardy was quite good. Some pretty impressive spots, especially the end twist of fate. That was sick. 4/5
-Michaels vs Taker was absolutely fuckin awesome. One of the best matches of the past 5 years at least. Not to mention, I didn't have a clue who would win. They actually made it convinving that Shawn had a chance to win. 5/5
-The Edge/Cena/Show match was better than expected. Nothing great. 3.5/5
-HHH vs Orton was actually very good IMO. I liked the pace, and the intensity. The crowd never gave it a chance, and was dead from the start. They kept looking to the right, and I started to think there was something like a fight or injury in the crowd. I liked this match. 4/5
The Austin and Rourke skits were well done too.
The only major flaws were the lack of interviews, and a few btoched spots. I'm pleased overall.
Let me also mention that I was impressed alot with the presentation. Cole, King, and JR made a great team, the set was great, the lighting was awesome, and overall easy on the eyes.
I was pretty pleased with the results. Cena winning was good IMO. I'm not a huge fan of his, but he's growing on me a bit, but either way (and this is comign from a massive Edge fan) I'm glad he won.... Matt beating Jeff is fine with me, Jericho beating the legends is the right move as well... Taker beating HBK was the best choice, Rey beating JBL I'm fine with, The Santino thing was for jokes,so no complaints, and now, finally, for the main event... I actually love that Punk won. People will say "His first reign sucked", well, that's probably why they let him win again. To now let him have arun where he isn't the underdog. Now that he's won MITB twice, they can book him properly, and let him have a good reign. I was hopign Christian would win, but I'm fine with Punk winning. I'm actually disappointed HHH won. I like him alot, but I would've prefered to see Orton trick him into losing his cool, and having him just beat down Orton, and Orton winning the title.
I'll give this WrestleMania a 4/5. I expected a bit more, but this was very well done IMO.
