Official Wrestlemania XXVII Thread: 4/3/11

I forgot to express my love for The Miz and his pre-match video. Hes Awesome and theres no doubt abut it.

That's all they are, are rumors.

Just like Jeff Hardy being arrested after his match.

As do I, I was worried for him after the match, during it I thought it was a work, as they zoomed in on his face, then he opened his eyes. Then the camera went to his hand, I was waiting for the undertaker to choke the trainer, sit up, and chokeslam him. Then walk up the ramp.

Agreed it was great. Had alot of true emotion and also made miz look like a star.

You are aware that for like the last two years whenever he's in a match he breaks something, right?

^ Hey, I wish I could've enjoyed WrestleMania alot more than I did, but sadly, I didn't. I used to look forward to WrestleMania every year, but now, it's like meh whatever. I just don't enjoy wrestling or "WWE" nearly as much as I used to.

When WWE puts on bad shows like tonight, it's hard to enjoy it. Especially when it's the biggest show of the year...That's when the company is supposed to be at it's best and it clearly wasn't...Not in my opinion at least.

They just need to keep the belt on Miz after tonight. I mean for like a long time. The only other person currently on Raw's main event i'd want to see the belt on besides Miz is Punk.

I also see a HHH vs. Miz feud on the horizon depending on whether or not Rock sticks around, or HHH takes time off after his Mania match.

WWE should never get Atlanta to host another Wrestlemania again, the show was great but the crowd were dead, they made Chris Benoit look alive and kicking.


The first match being for the World Heavyweight Championship came as a bit of a shock. Decent match with a nicely executed finish. Definitely not the end of this feud, Extreme Rules will have a rematch where Alberto will possibly win the belt. As for post match events, Alberto's Rolls Royce was a hideous vehicle but it was horrible seeing Edge run the crowbar along the paint. Smashing the windows is one thing but keying it is something on a whole 'nother level.

Rey and Cody got off to a bad start, too many delays in the early going but it improved as the match went on. Impressive showing by Cody, the Alabama Slam and the delayed second rope suplex in particular. Didn't expect a loss from Rey but Cody definitely deserved it.

The Snoop Dogg promo was pretty bad, minus Zack Ryder singing Friday, such a great moment there. The whole thing seemed too scripted with Snoop saying he wants some superstars for his next tour, Teddy saying he has some lined up and there just happens to be an audition table and stage right in front of them. I expected Ron Simmons to come out and say 'Damn' at some point, Bella Twins doing their usual nothing.

The Eight Man tag did not need to happen, The Corre, Santino and Kofi all debuted new attires too, Kofi's looked awesome, too bad the match wasn't. It seemed like the match getting out of hand was just a cheap way to involve each wrestler in the match, not a bad finish by Big Show and Slater, looked much better in slow-mo.

When Rock said that he'll make a memorable moment for the next person who comes around the corner, I said to a friend "I bet the house its Mae Young" and sure enough it was. Was great to see Austin and Rock face to face again, Austin looked much slimmer too.

I was hoping for the pyro rain for Orton's entrance. Unpredictable match at times, especially after Orton fell trying to do the kick to the skull. It looked like Punk was setting up to do that same kick after Orton missed it, great false RKO out of nowhere. I thought the match belonged to Punk after that until he was on the receiving end of the best RKO I've seen. Great match by the two, look forward to seeing the feud continue.

Onto the Cole and Lawler match, what an abortion on an epic scale. This made Bret and Vince look like HBK vs Taker. The times when Cole had Lawler's foot on the rope looked beyond fake, Cole took far too long doing the moves which meant Lawler had to keep his foot on the rope for an unrealistic period of time. Even Austin looked bored of the match, his amount of F-bombs made it entertaining though. Different ending than I expected with Lawler using the Ankle Lock, I loved how Austin kept asking Cole if he wants to give up despite Cole tapping the mat non stop. The post match was mind boggling, what reason did Booker T have getting in the ring? Josh Matthews getting Stunnered just seemed like another 'lets get Austin to stun someone else, the crowd'll love it'. Hopefully this brings an end to the constant verbal fights Cole and Lawler get into, their constant arguing were overshadowing the previous matches on the card.

Taker's entrance just seemed to strange with Aint No Grave playing, the title suits him but the song overall doesn't. It doesn't provide that eerie feeling that his previous theme had. Onto the match, great Spinebuster onto the announce table by Triple H, speaking of Spinebusters, after he did the second one in the ring, did anyone notice Taker quickly put his arm down after HHH done the move so the ref could count? The false finishes were great, I honestly thought the match was over after Taker took the third Pedigree. The look on Triple H's face after he done the multiple chair shots seemed like he didn't want to end the streak in such a cheap way. The 'Stay down, die' comments really added to the emotion of the match. I lost a little hope in Taker when the sledgehammer was brought into play but something seemed strange when Triple H kept holding Taker's leg, sure enough I was right when he got caught in Hell's Gate. Liked how he withheld the submission hold before tapping, made the finish much better. As for the events after the match, does anyone know if Taker is alright? Even Hunter looked worried when he fell out of the ring, could tell he wanted to see if he was ok but the ref told him to leave. Hopefully Taker is fine, enjoy your six months off cause he deserved it after that match.

The Six Person Tag match exceed my expectations, mainly Snooki. Her handspring elbow was perfect, absolutely perfect, she could teach Kelly Kelly how to do the damn move. Couldn't get over how short she looked though, great new attire on John Morrison too, he should stick to it.

And now for the main event, Cena's entrance was uber lame, who comes up with these entrances for him? Decent match, Cena looked off most of the time, possibly cause of the way he landed when Miz done a Side Effect to him. Not too sure what either of them were going for when Cena tripped and Miz was just lying in the middle of the ring. Miz kicking out of the huge Attitude Adjustment was great, Miz hitting Alex Riley looked a little too fake though. Speaking of Alex Riley, did anyone see a resemblance between him and Sylvan Grenier while he was wearing that vest? Had to know Rock would come out and restart the match, it would have been much better if he didn't do the 'It doesn't matter what you think' line to the laptop, it took away from the match. The match ended on a good note with Miz leaving the Atlanta as WWE Champion, unfortunately that didn't continue in the post match, it would have been much better if Rock stood on the stage and letting Miz have his Wrestlemania moment.
