Hated WrestleMania Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds was a slap in the face to World Heavyweight Championship and his fans. It also ruined the whole event for me. This. The show started badly and ended as such. Rock is a legend. Yes, he deserves the fame and respect. However, I remember a certain story he told..whispering "I love you man" in Austin's ear when he put him over on the way out. Pay it forward does not mean pissing on the future, so shame on you WWE. As for Daniel Bryan..I compare his match to owning a Ferrari and never going over 15 MPH..wasted asset. Both he and the title deserve better. But on this occasion it shouldn't matter about the future, you have to be realistic, and the fact is the WWE knows that despite Cena being the future, The Rock is the heavy fan favourite and always will be, and why end Mania on a sour note when you could give every fan one more mark out moment, as a fan, and give them what they want. While we expected Rock to pass the torch to Cena, none of us as fans want to see it happen. Okay it might be good for business in the long term, but we've got our special moment which means a lot more.

WHC Opening - Rating N/A Orton V Kane - 3 stars Cody V Big Show - 2.5 stars (It was good, but short) Divas - 1.5 stars (Was bored) HIAC - 5 stars (Drama was amazing in the match, I'm such a mark for all the guys too) Team Johnny V Team Teddy - 3 stars (Fun match) CM Punk V Chris Jericho - 4 stars(Match was paced well and lots of cool spots) Rock V Cena - 4 stars (Hot crowd, cool spots, lots of kick-outs, didn't expect the winner)
Wrestlemania 28 - 4 out 5 stars in total.

Triple H vs Taker is easily the front runner for Match Of The Year. Gonna be hard to top that.

Well, at least Daniel Bryan get a rematch. Unfortunately, Jericho doesn't. I hope Rock goes away for a long time... and I hope Cena turns on the fans or something.

I've been saying all along that this WM was a three-match card -- and the main events all delivered, for the most part.
Undertaker/HHH was epic and the best match of the show by far, IMO.
I was expecting Jericho/Punk to steal the show and it was only good, not great. Didn't seem like the crowd had bounced back yet from Undertaker/HHH and that had an impact on the feel.
Rock/Cena was great, with the crowd totally into it.
I know a lot of people on here are going to be really mad about D. Bryan, but really, it made a lot of sense to me. They needed to leave a ton of time for the three matches, and Bryan/Sheamus had almost NO buildup ... this match gives them the buildup for a proper feud, and it's not like Bryan loses much heat or anything because he can say that he was unprepared for the match by how it happened. Makes sense to me.
Very solid WM, though not the best of all-time.

of ALL TIME? Wow...okay, then.. Now make sure you tell him to off and tell him that he can't have an opinion. Hmm...Pretty sure I didn't say that. But you can off yourself, if you would be so kind.

While I had problems with the show, I really enjoyed it over all.
Yes, the World title match sucked. It makes me angry because Those two could have had a great match given the time. And they could have taken time from other segments without hurting them.
Kane vs. Orton was good.
I was hoping Cody would win, but I was expecting Big show too. It was a good match for the time it was given.
Divas was better than expected, but that's not really saying much.
HIAC was amazing. The only thing I would have done differently was not give the cell its own entrance (there's some of the time Bryan/Sheamus could have got)
12 man was pretty good, about what I expected.
Punk and Jericho was great, though I think the DQ rule hurt it a bit early on, and I would have liked it to be longer.
Rock vs. Cena was excellent. I'm not sure where they're going from here, because Cena should have won if Rock's not coming back, but they were really pushing the "Once in a lifetime" aspect, so a rematch is problematic too. Though that doesn't mean thy won't do it.
The musical performances were good, but I could have lived without them.
They started on a sour note, but I think it was all up from there. It just annoys me that they have to cut things short when they've already added an hour to the show. I don't understand why they can't budget time better.

I'm looking forward to the new direction of Sheamus. I hope he squashes the whole SmackDown Roster and then faces the whole NXT roster in a big Handicap match.
Yep, definitely looking forward to more of his Cena like push....

First let me say I hate when they put a World Title match in the first half of the card (Let alone the first match) That said here's my take on tonights show.
Bryan losing in 18 seconds was great in my opinion. Because now he can blame it on AJ on RAW to advance his heel status.
Orton vs Kane was better than I thought it would be and I was surprised Kane won.
Divas match was pointless. They need to get woman who can wrestle if they are going to continue having Diva matches.
Cody vs Show I actually liked thought it had entertaining moments, but I was surprised as I thought Cody would keep the title.
HHH vs Taker was worth the price of the PPV
I missed the GM tag match, but it ended how I thought it would with the RAW team winning.
Punk vs Jericho was very entertaining and I think that suplex may have been the move of the night.
Everything between the end of the Punk/Jericho match and the start of the Cena vs Rock match was brutal to sit through.
Cena vs Rock was entertaining but didn't live up to the hype. And I was really surprised Rock won. I actually can't believe they had their "Franchise" Superstar lose to someone who hasn't wrestled in 9 years. Makes me think Cena will turning heel in the near future.
Loved seeing the Horsemen all on stage together

I'll be happy with the World Title match if Daniel Bryan puts AJ in the Lebell Lock tomorrow night on RAW.

Just got back from watching this PPV. What a great night! Loved the CM Punk match, the UT / HHH match, too. Rock / Cena was good. Little surprised that Cena lost, though. D Bry lost in 18 seconds! D: IC belt might mean something again? Great show!
