All was excellent to me, so I couldn't complaint any else.
Battle Royal wasn't show on TV in the world, it only on wwe.com, that was happen at11:30pm in UK.

The pros speak for themselves. The bad points are: * Kane/Chavo squash match * Vickie Guerrero coming out to Edge's entrance * Ryder/Hawkins interfering. WHY? They should of been banned from ringside * BunnyMania was crap, but it was always gonna be! * Big Show not smashing the out of Mayweather! (Still an enjoyable match though.)

its kinda sad when people wish death upon others who have done nothing bad to them. Sure he makes bad music (hey if you like snoops music, more power to you) but "hey he sucks, his music sucks, kill him" pretty sad sir Shut your mouth, wiseguy.

Charles Robinson running forever to make the count.Cons- Ric Flair retired Bunnymania match Punk winning Show losing Crying in a bar full of people when Michaels said I'm sorry, i love you. I was LMAO when I saw him running.

What pissed you off the most and what were you most happy about Wrestlemania this year. I thought it was a way better show than expected. Pros for me: Cena never won, winning streak ended Maywheather put on an outstanding show Matt Hardy return Kane wins ECW champ Cons for me: Never got to see Battle Royal here in the UK CM Punk winning kill me... Kids voted for Cena in the "who is gonna win" poll. I wasn't there What about you guys? Yes we did... at 11.30 on WWE.com... i watched it.

Pros: MITB Match HBK vs. Flair Beth Phoenix & Melina defeating two talentless skanks CM Punk winning MITB Orton retaining The Referee running JBL throwing the trash can at Hornswoggle Morrison's Moonsault w/ The Ladder Flair retiring (it's not that I don't like him, I just always think his hip is going to break when he gets a move done to him) Raven Simone being there Cons: No Mickie match. Most matches were dull The entire Show/Mayweather crap Ashley and Maria being there Snoop Dogg Chavo vs. Kane (was there even a point in doing that at WM?) Umaga vs. Batista (I thought it was worse than Bunny Mania) Naming a match "Bunny Mania" instead of "Diva's Tag Match" Raven Simone not predicting the future :-(

Pros: The Citrus Bowl set up Flair/Michaels. Good Lord what a match! Orton retaining. Killing two "legends" with one kick. Taker/Edge. Was worthy of the Main Event spot. JBL smashing Horny's lower torso with a trashcan. The end-show pyro. Triple Tower of Doom ladder spot, Shelton's dive, Morrison backflip Matt Hardy's return. Snoop Dogg and Foley Kane holding a title again Crowd getting behind Umaga and booing Batista.
Cons: The opening video and opening pyro. CM Punk winning MITB (He didn't do anything in the match) The whole MITB match. (On paper it looked good and had a few good spots, but it was slow and anticlimatic) Mayweather going over. The lights going out. A botched Batista bomb. Kanes/Chavo lasting all but 8 seconds. Edge losing by submission, wtf?!!?
I don't know, all that hype and with the exception of Flair/HBK and Edge/Taker, the show really didn't deliver imho.
I'd give it a 7.5/10

Why are people complaining about a TNA plane, there was no TNA plane. I agree. How could be one of the Cons be something that didn't even exist? One person said it was "f**king annoying". They were annoyed by something that didn't happen and they didn't see? I don't understand. I really hope real life isn't as dumb as the internet. I mean, were people this dopey before the internet existed? Really?

I believe Mark and Myself, along with a few others said it was annoying because of the noise. - I jumped to the conclusion that it was a TNA plane (which I was obviously wrong about) - but there was a noise, of a plane; and it was very annoying.

Well, let me start off by saying what an amazing show. I was entertained troughout the entire night, thankyou WWE. Pros: -Finlay/JBL match was actually entertaining. -The entire MITB ladder match. AMAZING. -Matt Hardy Return. -Kane winning ECW Title. -The ENTIRE Flair and Michaels match. This had to be my favorite Flair match of all time. -Undertaker winning WHC and keeping the streak alive. Cons- -The TNA airplane, ing bitches. -Big Show not KILLING Mayweather. -The Triple Threat match as a whole. So much potential, but became a huge lackluster. But Overall, I was not let down by WWE. I enjoyed the show, it was magnificent beginning to end. Good job WWE. Just to let you know, there was no TNA plane. It was advertising a Gentlemen's Club.Pros - -BEING THERE LIVE!!! -HBK vs. Flair - Most amazing match EVER!!! -Undertaker vs. Edge - ing brilliant! -Badass Set-up. -CM Punk winning MITB -Best MITB IMO. -Surprise of seeing Orton retain.Cons - -Lights going out. -Pyro malfunction. -Mayweather winning. -Batista winning. -Driving there and back in the SAME day, haha.

There were so many pros that i can't list.. so i'll just list my favorite's Kane winning a world title at last(Even if it's just a replacment for the cruiserweight title without the weight limit) MITB(Mostly shelton's bumps in the match) CENA DOING THE JOB. Kennedy getting in kim kardashian's face Charles Robinson running down the ramp(In my head i was thinking "RUN LITTLE NAITCH!!")
Cons Jim ross calling maria melina threw the whole bunnymania match Jerry Lawler. Raven Symoné telling everyone to stand up durring the make a wish segment.. cause there were kids in wheelchairs(Well not really a con but kind of dumb) Kim Kardashian

+Shawn vs. Ric Flair. The way they built it up and delivered the match is something I'm never going to forget. Classic right from start to finish. Flair wore his classic blues, he put forth a lot of effort to make it work, and it was the best send-off I could imagine. The storytelling was superb. The way he kind of just accepted and seemingly WANTED his end to come when he slowly walked into that devastating superkick was why I love this. It was perfect and emotional. "I'm sorry. I love you." Shawn performed at top level just like always. Unforgettable.
+MITB. It warms my heart to see these very talented guys that will be the eventual future of this business. Sure, it's mostly a spotfest, but it was very entertaining and it showed a lot of guts to do what they did. Many memorable moments in that match. A guy who respects the business, CM Punk, getting the win was very, very awesome.
+Taker vs Edge. I think Edge is now cemented as a legit main event talent. Both of these guys are good in the ring and have the look and crowd support to make it all interesting. I don't believe they have wrestled many times before (have they one on one?) so it was an appropriate big match to end the show with. If Flair declined to end the show, I'm glad Undertaker got to close one more WM and that Edge got to come in with the title and do a real main event. Good performance by both men.
+Orton retaining. I like Triple H a lot and want him to win the big one a few more times, but not at this show. I was happy to see this match lower on the card and was equally happy to be surprised with Orton retaining. It seemed very predictable at first but had one nice finish with the unexpected retainment of the WWE title. Cena not winning the belt again is a blessing. I don't mind the guy much but I DO NOT want to see another reign of his anytime soon.
+The arena. Stunning set, huge crowd, outside...nice, special environment that helps make Wrestlemania what it is.
+Finlay vs JBL. Very entertaining brawl between these two vets. I would have preferred a little more wrestling but it didn't need it to be a good one. I laughed my ass off when JBL threw that can at Hornswoggle. Hopefully this angle will end now. And hopefully Finlay brings back that new music since he's a face.
+Show/Mayweather was alright. I list that as a positive since I figured it would be a few punches, maybe a throwdown, and then an uppercut.
+Hall of Fame. If Rock was there it'd just distract from the real legends of the business, so I don't mind that much. Besides, he was just inducting. Now if they had him go out and make a surprise promo later in the show...THAT I'd love to see. Mae Young seems to be very excited and that's always nice as well as funny to see. Got a good vibe from it all.
----------------------------------------
- Bunnymania. I'll never understand the glam look or whatever Maria was trying to pull off. But besides that it was what I expected it to be - awkward and pointless. Melina and Beth can wrestle pretty well. Maria is okay at times too, but Ashley just sucks as a wrestler in my opinion. The lights going out and Lawler referencing the Undertaker was pretty funny.
-Batista/Umaga. Unlike most people I actually expected a fairly good match out of these two. It wasn't bad but it didn't really hold my attention. The way they job out Umaga and tease him as an unstoppable monster just doesn't fly with me. I don't care about Batista (or Boo-tista as Michael Cole likes to call him) and WWE doesn't give fans a reason to care about Umaga since all he does is lose like I said and do run-ins all the time, so it just wasn't a big deal.
-Kane squashing Chavo. I like them both but it was just a rushed thing. Hopefully they either give Chavo a legit match next year or stick him in the MITB. He'd be good in that match.
There's probably a few more things but overall this has been the best Wrestlemania in many years. Could it have been better? Easily. But I learned long ago that if you look at the glass half empty when it comes to WWE it makes it hard to watch. I'll pick up the Blu-ray in a few months.
