Throwing It Down: Post Your Wrestlemania 24 Reviews/Grade The Show

[kingovkings]

Really good ppv IMO.I didn't think there was really any bad matches, some were not great but still OK to watch. I loved the hbk/Flair match it was awesome the emotional element was of the hook. I have mixed feelings bout triple threat match i enjoyed it but thought it could have done with been longer, I also thought that trips would have been a bit more intense than he came across.
Plus i thought that they would have made Cena go through bit more punishment than he did before Orton took the win.
Taker/Edge was the better match for me. Edge n taker giving there all. The countering from edge was wicked. Overall a pretty good mania

How the hell does the Triple Threat get four stars when it was 15 minutes long and had a shitty ending? No way it was as good as MitB or almost as good as Taker vs Edge.

Just an opinion don't get your panties in a bunch.and thanks for posting in the topic and still not giving your ratings.

 

[the dark knight]

before i go on, montana and cenamark, WTF are you two smoking? and i dunno why are we posting these here lol. we had an OFFICIAL thread...

Do you smell what wrestlemania's cookin?​

JBL vs Finlay
it kinda surprised me when they opened up the show with this, thought it'd be somewhere in teh middle. great starter with lots of fun spots. JBL throwing the trash can at hornswoggle was hilarious and finlay's dive got me...well, at first i was kinda pissed cuz it's taker's move but then i said screw it, its still good to watch from someone else. and WOW, JBL won......i didn't see it coming. that really came out of no where...

rating: ***

MITB Match
Well..............................i had high expectations for this match. dont get me wrong, it delivered. but i think half of my excitement came from the thought of jeff coming back..i was itching. great new spots but...the match was kinda weak, dunno why. CM punk's win wasn't completely unpredictable, but it still got me all :shock:. props for WWE....the only reason i hated/hate punk is cuz of ROH fans....ok nevermind. lookin forward to see the guy as champ..

rating: ****

HBK vs Flair
so here we are, best 2 in-ring superstars i've ever seen go at it in a wrestlemania match. i really dont know what to say other than it was GREAT!! it had a lot of ring psychology, HBK busted his ass with all the spots, flair tried to sell as much as he can and get work the match and the ending was just........beautiful. seriously, almost CRIED when i saw hbk's lips saying "im sorry...i love you". thats a wrestlemania moment right there...probably one of the best ever too..and this is why shawn michaels is SHAWN MICHAELS.

rating: ****3/4

Umaga vs Batsita
i was really excited to i heard the entrance music. i really needed to take a piss and go get something to drink. anyway i came back, tried to stare at the screen for 3 seconds, kept drinking until i saw the replay for the finish. LOL at batista, he cant even powerbomb the guy. the match was pretty short too...looks like WWE are really trying hard to disappoint me. remember when i said "wwe cant be that stupid and it wont be a squash match"? well....i was wrong. no:

rating: :shit:

Kane vs Chavo
Where should i begin? first off, kane ACTUALLY WON A MATCH. 2007's jobber of the year WON A MATCH. and not only did he win a match, IT WAS A WRESTLEMANIA MATCH. and not only was it a WRESTLEMANIA match, HE WON A SINGLES TITLE!!!!!! when was the last time we've seen kane with a single's title? 4-5 years ago? and not only did he win the ecw title, but he OWNED CHAVO in under 10 seconds. that was just ridiculous, it should've taken less...so KANE is back to beating up people and pinning them in less than a minute. KANE'S BACK!!! oh and i forgot to mention...kane happens to be my fav wrestler (along with rocky, hbk and triple h).....so yea, that really put a smile on my face

rating: *****

Bunnymania
booooooooooring. fuck maria and her flat tits, fuck santino, fuck snopp dog, fuck the rest of the divas who were in the match and fuck them for wasting precious time on this crap. i LOVE the divas and the divas division but this is really stupid, i didn't like it one bit. maybe with the exception of the part when king got off his seat...i still like the guy. but ya know what? it was more entertaining than batista's "match".

rating: *1/4

Cena vs Triple H vs Orton
well, as soon as i realized its not the last match, i knew it was gonna be orton. which upset me. but ya know what? like i said before, WWE's build up was so good it really didnt make me upset when i was thinking about orton and the title. so props for WWE. as much as it DID kinda..bother me that triple h didn't win, the ending made me happy. CENA GOT PINNED AT WRESTLEMANIA HAHAHHAAHHAHHA. the match itself wasn't really that good though..

rating: ***1/8

Bigshow vs Floyd
I thought it was gonna flop. but then again, i really wanted to see what'll happen. floyed busted his ass, tried to look as "heel" as possible and bigshow pretty much made the match. it was nice..i actually enjoyed this. no idea why people are complaining...

rating: ***

Undertaker vs Edge
ok so that was the main event. i swear to god i thought for a while about going to sleep and turning off teh TV but...thought i'd just watch it. it was ok...edge refusing to lose at the end was good but we all knew what was coming next. and the ending kinda bothered me.....i dunno, it just didnt look right.

rating: ***1/4

OVERALL: waaaaay better than last year's as a whole. it was worth staying up all night for (from 2 am to to 6 am). it could've been a little better but....i honestly didn't think it was gonna be THIS good so its ok. from "ill just order this cuz its wrestlemania" to "this might be good" and now "it was GREAT"...im happy.

from the [not so] recent wrestelemania's, i'd put this....right after 18, 17, 19 and 20.

 

[MoKuJoN]

i gave it a solid B. i wasn't blown out of my mind but it was better than i expected.

i gave it a solid B. i wasn't blown out of my mind but it was better than i expected.

Much the same for me... B.

Thoroughly enjoyed WM (First live WM PPV for a VERY long time!). Some of the matches could have been better, but I thought the entertainment value was through the roof!

Few comments...

Finlay/JBL - IMO a streetfight is an odd way to start things off. Not a bad effort but coulda done with getting nastier. (Incidentally is it just me that thinks Finlay needed to lose for putting his son in such jeopardy just to wind Vince up?)
MITB - Wicked stuff, but aside from the 'Oooh, I forgot about them'-factor I think less participants would make for a better match on the whole. Re: The Shelton/Kennedy/Carlito(?) sunsetflip/superplex from the ladder... HOLY SHIT!!!! :Jumpy: < Whoooooaah!!!
Batista/Umaga - Crap. I hate this kind of match. Umaga looked great again, but I guess 'Tistas victory was partially 'earned' by the fact that he (all-but) managed to powerbomb a man of that size.
HBK/Flair - Masters at work! Intense, emotion packed stuff...
Chavo/Kane - Why all the bitching? Reeks of Honky V Warrior @ SSlam88... If anything I was still left thinking "poor Kane".
Bunnymania - Classic move getting Snoop on the case... Him + Santino just about propelled this match enough to make it entertaining (the match itself was fucking shit!)
Orton/Cena/HHH - Orton looked good IMO (not booked weak as some have complained. On a number of occasions he was trying to break down his opponents simultaneously) and I flipped big time when he won. Unfortuntaley the match itself was a let down when I thought it'd be the opposite - i.e. great match/shit outcome.
Show/Mayweather - Panned out FAR better than I expected, but the reality ramifications still kept me from believing. I think chaos should have decended with more than just one of Floyds minders getting involved near the end, serving make a bigger distraction and allow Floyd more time to re-coup.... (Was a pretty clean win given the amount of heat that 'Money' had.)
Edge/Taker - Class world title stuff.... Personally, thought it made a nice change to (mostly) keep it in the ring too. Re-match with 'gimmick' please!!!

 

[King Of Kings]

I gave it a B the wwe championship match was disapointing. I think the best part was ric flair vs HBK.
