To be honest, I thought though that it was one of the worst PPVs that I have ordered, because of what I expected it to be; a WRESTLEMANIA. Rhodes/Mysterio was easily the best match. Trips/Taker was okay, but the ending was bad. And the whole last ten mins was just them hitting finishers which kinda ruined it. Orton/Punk was decent. A little too slow paced, and the ending was predictable. Edge/ADR was decent, but Del Rio should have won, and it def shouldnt have been the first match of the night. Miz/Cena was actually alright. The ending kinda made sense, and it looks like they're building towards Cena/Rock which (almost) everyone wants to see (including me) The biggest joke of the night though was Lawler/Cole. There is NO WAY IN HELL Lawler should have lost that match. After waiting all these years, he finally gets his match, and he loses? To MICHAEL ING COLE??? There was no way that should have happened, and I was very dissapointed by the way they climaxed this feud. After Cole bringing out Brian Christopher, talking about Lawler's decesed mother, and he still wins in the end?? Thats a joke, and was the tipping point of the PPV for me. With the exception of Rhodes/Mysterio, and decent matches from Taker/HHH, Punk/Orton, and Cena/Miz, it was one of the worst ones I have seen, and a complete waste of $60 Oh and getting rid of the U.S. title match the way they did was a complete joke....doesnt deserve an explination. (smh)

That was definitely the worst WM I've ever seen. I've never been so disappointed. I don't know if it was THE worst, but it was certainly one of them, that's for sure. IX was bad, XI was awful, and tonight was REALLY bad as well. It's definitely in the top 3 for sure.

I can't believe they took off that match and actually had Cole/Lawler instead...Wow...Smart booking there... Cole/Lawler was one of the most hyped matches on the entire card. I'm pissed the US title match got canned too, but they'd be nuts to move Cole/Lawler to before the show after months and months of this rivalry building. This is also on of my problems. I was anticipating this WHC match, but compared to Miz/Cena, and even more Cole/Lawler, it was an afterthought. I think a lot of the build for the card was iffy.

That Wrestlemania was just disappointing all round. Maybe it's because I was like REALLY looking forward to that Bryan/Sheamus match, and they completely let me down. As some people know here, those two are my absolute top favourites and to see them put on a clinic like I know they can, especially in Bryan's first Wrestlemania, would have been great. Maybe it was too much "WRESTLING" for WWE to handle. Maybe they didn't want the spotlight taken away from Triple H and the Undertaker, or John Cena and The Miz. Who knows? Whatever the reason was, I hope WWE realise they bumped two of their top five competitors from their biggest show of the year, removing what could have possibly been a Match of the Night... maybe even Match of the YEAR contender. Just bullsh*t. Here's my full review for this pile of disappointment.
Del Rio probably should have won. I mean he comes in, gets pushed hugely, wins the Rumble, and then... he loses. I'm not a huge fan but this was a BAD decision, not just the winner of the match, but the Royal Rumble winner in the OPENER of Wrestlemania just shouldn't happen. A huge spit in the face of both Del Rio and World Heavyweight Champion Edge, who especially deserved better.
Rey/Cody and Orton/Punk was TV Quality but NOT Wrestlemania quality. Both needed more near-falls. And they just dragged on for me.
HHH vs Taker was great but PREDICTABLE. I've seen somebody kick out of the Last Ride, Tombstone and the Undertaker's other finishers 2 years in a row. It's getting a little predictable for me, and I just knew it was coming. Highlight of the match was HHH tombstoning Taker, I ACTUALLY thought "This is it" but it wasn't to be. No disrespect to these guys, they put on a clinic, but it wasn't worth the PPV money. They needed more than ONE great match and IMO, that would have been Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan.
Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler went on TOO LONG. I'm a big Cole fan but a simple beatdown from Lawler would have done, all that BS and time-wasting was unneccessary. Booker was great but that's it.
It was expected that WWE would have their annual B-List celebrity appearance, so Snooki going over an actual talent doesn't surprise me. Way to make your competitors like tough guys, WWE. Even Snooki can do it!
The Corre/Team Big Show match was fun, but too short. This, combined with the time-wasting, and John Cena's stupid entrance could have gone to something more valuable like Sheamus/Bryan (again), or MITB. What did Morrison and Ziggler gain out of that tag match? NOTHING.
The promo for the Miz was amazingly well done, but it lead to nothing as MIZ COULDN'T WIN CLEAN. He didn't show that he was a main eventer, he didn't show that he was on John Cena's league, he showed that he got lucky by winning the title and retaining the title and that shouldn't have happened. The way I see it is, Rock won that match. Not Miz. And this was The Miz's time to break out and prove himself. WWE dropped the ball. And that countout finish was just as bad as Hardy/Sting. Maybe even worse considering it was the biggest PPV of the year.
Just disappointing from top to bottom. This is just my opinion, and maybe I expected too much, but like I said... no Bryan/Sheamus put a huge stain on the night for me. That combined with the lack of great matches, it just didn't live up to the hype. Anyways, that's my review. Feel free to agree/disagree.

WrestleMania 27 was a huge disappointment.
- Edge/Del Rio opens the show? Doesn't the Royal Rumble winner get a Main Event spot at 'Mania? Why the hell was this on first?
- Rhodes/Mysterio was a good, solid match.
- Why was the 8-man tag match a squash? The Corre deserved more time than that, dammit.
- Orton/Punk was another good match. Liked the finish.
- Lawler/Cole was what it was.
- Undertaker/Triple H was probably MOTN, even though they clearly made it no holds barred to cover up the fact that they both had significant ring rust.
- 6-person tag match was crap. Morrison and Ziggler had no time to shine. Why was this match even considered?
- Miz/Cena and the tag match before were prime examples as to why you never try and follow an Undertaker match at WrestleMania.
All of this, and they didn't even have the Sheamus/Bryan title match. Why bother building it up if you're just going to turn it into a non-title battle royal and have Khali win it? Pointless.
All in all, WrestleMania 27 felt like a clusterf*** and did not live up to expectations. I want something in return for having to watch Snooki's fat ass do a cartwheel, twice. *shudders*

I hate how every individual who disliked tonight's show are being lumped together as 'typical IWC bitches' by some of you guys. I like current WWE, it has my favourite roster in years and I wouldn't have stayed up till 5am if all I wanted to do was bitch.
Ignore how much you spent on the PPV, because that's irrelevant, and I can't see how WM27 can be considered good at all. Subjectivity must end somewhere. A mixture of predictability , poor match ordering, dead crowd and general WM newcomers really rendered it a let down. I've enjoyed PLENTY of WWE PPV's in the past year (Notably RR, SS and TLC), but I feel this just didn't deliver.

Easily the worst WrestleMania, ever.
Just downright terrible. "Creative" really need to sit down and PLAN out the future of this company. Crappy 10 minute main events doesn't say "WrestleMania", sorry.

I'll put my 2 cents in for an opinion on this WM...
I thought it was better than the last 2. It had a big time feeling and I absolutely loved the design of the stage and the ramp. I was surprised that they started off with the WHC match. It was a solid match and I could say that I enjoyed most of the first half matches. The HHH/Taker match was better than was it was supposed to be...the mixed tag and the Corre/Random Guys matches seemed rushed.
This Wrestlemania did have it's drawbacks. The 15 minutes that the Rock took in the beginning was completely unneccesary and took time away for a possible (and originally advertised) televised US Title match between Sheamus/Bryan. The Lawler/Cole match went on a little too long and the ending to that match was questionable..The main event was awful and a complete downer. It didn't feel like a Wrestlemania match. It felt like I was watching a mediocre RAW main event match. Everything about that match seemed cheap...everything down to the replica Spinner that Miz brought to the ring. The Rock couldn't even save that match. No title changes in the biggest wrestling event of the year was the true shocker. This event had so much potential to be one of the best Wrestlemanias...problem is while some matches shined, that the main event sunk it and remained fresh in the minds of the viewing audience. It's kind of like going to a decent firework display, but the grand finale was awful. It stays with you and it's something that you'll always remember (even though the rest was decent).

But not here. Predictability if a bad thing. If someone saw it coming then it's awful because the WWE didn't swerve them. But then of course they bitch for swerving them. Nah. Some people just complain to complain. I'm not exactly complaining, I'm just saying what I thought about the show. The last couple WrestleMania's were good, and I just thought this one fell short because of wasted time and bad placement/booking. Of course there were some bad parts, every Mania has them. Yes, even WrestleMania 17. Rock shouldn't have opened the show or at least not gone on as long. Rock shouldn't have closed the show like he did. Cena was down, Rock should have gotten hit in the head with the belt and Miz stands tall over both. The Corre and Snooki matches were too short not saying they would have been classics if they were longer. Should have been 5 hours, Corre and Snooki matches could have gone on longer, Sheamus/Bryan happens and they could air the battle royal. And the RKO out of nowhere. But those really aren't that major.

"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.
