Just got a 25% warning for replying to someone who told me to off. good stuff. As did the other person. You guys can talk about your opinions, or your opinions of others opinions all you want. Nobody cares. But start with name calling or insults, and the ban hammer gets swung.

"Some people just like bitching about everything." Some people just like ripping on people for having a different opinion. Some people liked WrestleMania, and some people didn't like WrestleMania. Get over it. Close the board down. We can't discuss why we feel those who hated the show are wrong. Just shut the up already. You can discuss that, but don't straight up insult those who didn't enjoy it.

The card wasn't so great so I am not sure what everyone was expecting. It was a decent card that turned into a decent show. I am just happy they didn't let The Rock help Cena win. But the stuff like HHH/Taker which was supposed to be good was.

Get over it. Close the board down. We can't discuss why we feel those who hated the show are wrong. Just like those people who didn't like WrestleMania aren't entitled to their opinion without being told it's wrong? It's a completely individual decision when forming an opinion. Just because someone else's view differs, doesn't make either person wrong. By all means discuss YOUR opinion on the show, but don't tell myself or anyone else that they're wrong for having their own thoughts and conclusions about the show.

I think some of you need to sleep on it to be honest. Thanks for the tip, but that main event nearly put me to sleep. It was boring, the crowd was friggin' dead and just overall dreadful to watch. It should be a form of torture. Just tie someone to a chair and put that match on loop...I know it would drive me nuts... God, it was awful...

Get over it. Exactly. I completely agree with you. You didn't like WrestleMania and neither did I really. We've got every right to come here and voice our opinions on what we thought about the event. If some people don't like our opinions, that's just tough sh*t right there. Deal with it and move right along. It's not that you can't dislike it, but I see you personally in a LOT of party threads saying whatever show it was is terrible. Honest question, what do you like about WWE today?

I'm quite surprised to see the general opinion be so negative. I don't really know why, though, I should expect that out of this board at this point.
I enjoyed the show from start to finish. Was it perfect? Not by any means, but tonight was a perfect example of the new era of the WWE. If you didn't enjoy what you saw tonight, you're not going to enjoy what is to come. This was the WWE, plain and simple. Its flaws were obvious, its strengths were apparent.
I was shocked to see the World Title match open, it took me off guard and at first I didn't like it, but the further it went on, the more it made sense to me. WWE knew that Del Rio wasn't a big enough draw to be deep into the show at this point, and they needed a match that was sure to get the crowd hot. Match itself was very enjoyable, and I'm totally fine with Edge winning. Del Rio isn't ready for the belt, plain and simple.
Rhodes/Mysterio was very much the match I was hoping it would be. Very enjoyable, unpredictable result. I thought for sure Mysterio would take it.
The eight man tag was a joke, there is no denying that. The Corre was effectively ruined, but truthfully, who cares? They've been horrible since day one. I'm just glad it was quick and painless.
Orton/Punk was interesting. Not a great match, but slow and methodical, which lent well to their feud as a whole. As much as I wanted Punk to pick up the win, I don't think anyone truly expected that to happen. Great finish and an enjoyable bout.
The King/Cole match was exactly what I expected. A lot of mindless pandering, and a little too much wasted time, but it served its purpose and put a nice end cap on a match that was built really well.
I wasn't big on the GM being involved multiple times throughout the night, particularly here. I've been tired of that angle for months and I didn't think it had a place at Wrestlemania.
Triple H/Undertaker was a bit of a let down, but at the same time, there is absolutely no denying that they told an incredible story. I couldn't help but smile when it finished with Hell's Gate. It just made so much sense. Triple H just made one split second mistake and Taker just barely hung on, I loved it. The people I were with were disappointed with the finish, but I thought it was perfect. It wasn't as great as I hoped, but they certainly delivered.
The six person tag was exactly what I expected it to be, a little more Morrison/Ziggler would have been nice but I have no doubt this one had a few minutes cut because of time constraints. Snooki surprised everyone, that's for sure.
The main event was a bit disappointing. I knew coming in that Cena and The Miz weren't going to produce a Wrestlemania classic, but I thought it played well into the way the feud has progressed. The double count out was unnecessary and wasted time that could have been added to the match, but regardless, I'm incredibly pleased that they took the chance and let The Miz retain the belt. This all but guarantees The Rock vs. John Cena at some point in time and that's all what we wanted, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a classic Wrestlemania. There were some things that could certainly have been done better, but we all knew going in that this was a transitional year, and for that, I think they pulled off a pretty damn entertaining night.

Because we are WWE FANS. It's apart of who we are. Through the good and bad, we stick w/ it and support it, but that doesn't mean that we have to pretend to like every little thing from it, especially in the last few years.
I enjoyed last years WM alot. Most of the matches were good to great and it had the atmosphere of a HUGE event. This years WM just didn't seem that big of an event. For example, IMO last years WWE Title match, Cena and Batista, not only had the feel of a big time match, but it was a decent match as well considering who was in it. This years WWE Title match, Cena and Miz, just didn't have a big time feel to it and the match was TERRIBLE as well. The Miz just isn't believeable as a champ and because Rocky had to take out Cena, Mizzy still has the look and feel of a weak champ since he couldn't get it done on his own. This years WM was a letdown considering that the WWE had so many other routes to take for this PPV.

Miz/Cena was rushed and that's the reason it sucked, plain and simple. Crowd wasn't dead, they didn't have much to cheer about because it was so rushed. It went from slow build up to really quick finish, and yeah following Taker/HHH probably didn't help a whole lot. But time restraints was what made it a bad Mania main event.

you sure? cause i'm almost certain i've been the lead voice in "this wrestlemania" sucks throughout this thread. i've been called a tool, and a troll, and a bunch of other whacky things in here. I'm sure. I know what type of wrestling you enjoy, and how deeply imbedded into indy wrestling you are. For that, it'll take a bit more than bashing a WWE show for me to lose respect as a fan for someone like you. Sure I thought you were a tool tonight, but you're not nearly as bad or repetitive as most others. <3 this Mania ranks slightly above 9 and 11, in my book.

Every year people say that it was "easily" the worst Wrestlemania ever. Every year people try to make pseudo-analytical comments to sound smart. Every year its the same damn thing. In all honesty, the matches weren't all that great overall. Beyond that I thought it was ok. C+. Easily NOT the worst. I do think that the show suffered due to the lack of a MITB match more this year than it would have any other years. That is mainly because there were no amazing, command performances or show-stealing matches. The closest was Cody/Mysterio, but even that wasn't a show-stealer. The World title match at the beginning was a pretty lousy idea, but considering Del Rio's lack of main event experience it wasn't really that terrible in the end. Definitely could have been better, but also could have been worse.

My opinion on this show is that it was 'OK'. I didn't like all the matches ,some were not long enough in my opinion. Randy Orton and CM Punk could of had stole the show but it was not a long enough match , the HHH/Undertaker match didn't impress me as much as the HBK/Taker one of the previous years , but still ! I enjoyed my experience of watching Wrestlemania with family and friends .

I want to understand you, who is your current WWE superstar sans Taker and HHH? Seems you hate everything so I want to see what wrestler you do enjoy.

But time restraints was what made it a bad Mania main event. Its the same thing that happened at WM 25 imo. Not quite. HHH/Orton had enough time, but no stipulations and following a far far superior HBK/Taker match definitely hurt it. HHH/Taker wasn't so good that Miz/Cena following it, hurt it. It didn't. It was so rushed the match didn't click, it looked bad, it was bad and the ending was flat as hell.

I don't believe that anyone who has actually seen every WM can possibly say this was the worst WM ever. It certainly wasn't the best but it was a solid entertaining show.

I think no one in the arena cared in the end simply because of bad writing.
The crowd didn't want to see Cena vs. Miz. They wanted to see the Rock, the Rock was the only person they wanted to cheer for so while Miz vs. Cena was happening, no one cared enough to cheer and boo, they were just sitting waiting for the Rock. When the Rock finally turned up, they had been waiting the whole match and so it wasn't a suprise. Then from there it went downhill, there was no payoff, what they had seen they had pretty much seen on RAW, it was lackluster and a let down.
Looking at it now, i would have much prefered if Rock hadn't been brought back in any way at all, hes added nothing. Judging by the two videos building up Miz's entrance and Cena's entrance, if the rivalry was just between Cena and Miz it could have been great, simply because of the hype.
The whole show i was waiting for that 'wrestlemania moment' but it never came.
