First off, I want to say that I really enjoyed this year's Wrestlemania. I thought it had a nice lineup, and they made the right moves, I think, in both title matches. That said, I don't like that Wrestlemania keeps ending on a submission. It seems like a trivial thing to complain about, and really, I'm not trying to make it anything huge. Still, four out of the last five Wrestlemanias have ended with a submission. Benoit won it on the Crossface. Two years later, Cena made Triple H tap out. Then he did it to HBK. Now, the Undertaker beats Edge with a triangle choke. I mean, it was an okay finish, but one of my favorite parts of the match is the suspense that builds up between the counts of two and three. If I could have decided it, I would have had the Undertaker win it on the tombstone. If he's going to keep the streak, he might as well go back to his ageless finisher, and I think it would have added a little bit on the end of a great Wrestlemania. As a side note, to my knowledge, no main event before WM 20 had ever ended with a submission- I think that shows that it's getting a little bit overused.

Eh, the same can be said about a submission though. If a match goes on long enough, and Taker hits the Tombstone, you almost know it's over. But if he locks in a submission, it's not as certain.

I love submission finishes. I think the finish of 'Mania 20 was AMAZING. I was with a group of people, and all of us were just screaming and begging for Triple H to tap. It was an incredible moment and very suspenseful. Moreso than many near falls.
I think you're making a lot out of nothing. Calm yourself.

I'm not mad or excited about this, and if they finished the next five with submissions, I wouldn't be angry or anything, it's just something I noticed. |

They want to capitilize on mma's popularity.
