Vince McMahon must rolling over in his grave. I'm sure Vince Sr. was after watching that debacle... Vince Sr. has been rolling in his grave since Junior went national and then global. |

^ I know. I try. I wish I would've made it my pissbreak, instead of sitting through that mess of a main event. I still can't believe how bad it was...God, that match really  ing sucked. If those two are going to main event another PPV, man, I feel sorry for the suckers that will shell out more money to watch that crap all over again.Of which you will no doubt be one. You'd like to think so, but sorry to disappoint you. I haven't ordered a WWE PPV for years. They clearly aren't worth it, as that was proven one more time last night. I just feel bad for the ones that DID shell out $50+ for that fiasco last night. They even said they want their money back, that's how bad it was, in their opinion. Wow....  |

You said you have barely any interest in wrestling and really don't like it as it is but you keep watching. If you didn't watch what would you do with your time spent complaining? |

I felt like there was no climax to any of the angles being built up...the only thing I can think of is maybe just maybe somehow they are gonna run storylines for a whole year to next mania. So many things were off about last night...
I feel like Cena wasnt in to it...you can't put him with someone like Miz and expect them to have a good match. He has to be with a veteran or a proven great wrestler. The match was just bad...with all the build up from the Rock I thought he would have been in the match
Taker and HHH was so slow...but it was good
Punk and Orton was great wish it was longer
Mysterio/Rhodes was great
King/Cole could have been so much better..if they just booked the finish differently...would have liked to see Lawler pull Cole up from the cover after the fistdrop....then give him the piledriver ...then after the beer bash Stone Cold gives Cole the stunner to finish it.
Edge/Del Rio it was a decent match but it seemed like a match that could have been on Raw or Smackdown...and there was no climax with the whold Christian angle.....
the 8 man tag was really short
the mixed tag was real short & I wish Morrison & Ziggler could have tore the house down they def. have the abilities
Only thing I can think of is maybe Edge vs Christian at next mania
Rock vs Cena at next mania

got what i expected but i didnt expect a lot, seemed like WWE where playing safe again.
The stage was ok to me, looked good but lacked something like the show.
Nothing seems to be original anymore. Seemed like something was missing from Mania as well. I hate how Mania is built tne most, hyped like nothing else yet there are matches dont last 2 minutes and the world title turns into the intercontinental title in status.
2 titles defended is obsurd to me and to bump Sheamus/Bryan for some stupid segments and a promo that could have been on the DVD was wrong for me. I watched Mania and throughout i waited for that match and if it wasnt for card subject to change i would think of complaining... Think of...
For me, i hate the overuse of lighting and the wider ring area, i dont want loads of lights giving the ring area a blue shimmer, its annnoying and the more space in ring area for some reason takes the experience of watching down for me, dunno why but it does.
In terms of comparison, WM 17 is too high for that so i go by XIX.. And it wasnt as good, i enjoyed it, glad i watched but i feel like there should have been more.
Writters seem to have avatar syndrome, make it looks flashy and big but so a simple storyline, i prefer it the other way round, i hope when guys like HhH and taker retire, writters start doing there job better to put over younger stars.

WrestleMania 1
2 matches over 10 minutes.
Most are around the 4-5-6 minute mark and then you have the 23 second squash.
WrestleMania 2
4 matches over 10 minutes (and that even barely happened as the Hogan/Bundy match only went 10 minutes and 15 seconds)
Every other match with the exception of the battle royal and Ricky Steamboat vs Hercules, they all only went a few minutes with Macho/Steele topping them out at 5 minutes.
WrestleMania 3
2 matches over 10 minutes, Macho/Steamboat and Hogan/Andre.
This event was better as there were no few second matches or any 1 or 2 minute matches. They stayed between 3 1/2 and almost 9 minutes.
WrestleMania 4
3 matches over 10 minutes, one went to a time limit draw of 15 minutes. The other two were the battle royal and the tag title match.

WrestleMania 5
2 matches over 10 minutes and the Beefcake/Dibiase match was 10 minutes and 1 second.

Rest of the matches are between 4 minutes (3:59) and 9 3/4 minutes.

It just occurred to me that if there was anything about the event to really truly be pissed about it's the Cole / Lawler win / loss reversal.
I mean that was just an awful call.

It was far from perfect, I had my high and low points. The main event really should have been Taker vs. TripleH. Miz vs. Cena was really boring and sucked for a WM main event, even with the Rock's involvement.

Mr. Old School is the most negative guy I've ever come across. When you hang out with your friends (assuming your miserable ass has friends) - do you just criticize stuff for the sake of it?
I stayed away from the internet in the lead up and during the show, and I enjoyed it immensely. It might just be coincidence, but I think I benefitted from avoiding so much negativity.

Um...Ok?? $500 is far cry from what I spend and why would you concern yourself with what I buy and how much I spend?? And with the movies I buy, at least I have something to show for my money, where-as what does anyone have to show for that shoddy spectacle last night but an empty pocket with lint in it?? Lol... |

Does it ever go through your self-centered mind that maybe - just maybe, people really enjoyed the show and were happy to spend the money? How you enjoy a wrestling show is subjective. You seem to think that your word is gospel and whoever disagrees is some kind of uneducated numpty. |

From what I've read in this thread so far, I think it's pretty divided down the middle on how much people enjoyed this show. Alot of people liked it and alot of people didn't like it. Yet, you try to single me out like I'm the ONLY guy that is trashing this event, when that is so far off from the truth, it ain't even funny.
I've read people saying they want their money back, but do you say anything about them?? Nope...Gotta single me out. What a load of crap.
You liked the event. Good for you, that's your take on it. I'm one of the many that didn't like it. If I am being negative, so be it. I ain't the only one, yet you try to make it sound like I am. Whatever...

Maybe it's because we don't even understand why you bothered to watch it, when days before the event you told us all it was a sorry ass show because they didn't book 34 matches. And because some of us have never seen you post a single positive thing about modern day WWE in all the time you've been here. Just move on to something else already. You'll clearly never enjoy anything the WWE will put out anytime soon. It's one thing to be disappointed by a show and another to just bash everything a company does over and over again. |

Anyways. Don't feel bad for me about ordering the PPV because I enjoyed it very much.

I like posting here. I think it's a great forum. Many people may not like my posts and what I've got to say most of the time, but big deal. Am I supposed to be out to please them?? Don't think so. I'm here to voice MY opinion, which I've got every right to do so. Don't like it?? Tough. Deal with it and move on. And, that's good that you liked the PPV. Good for you. I'm glad you liked it. Unfortunately, I'm one of the many that didn't. I wish I could've liked it more than I did, but it didn't work out that way. Oh well, it is what it is. |

I would, once again, like to point out that Alberto Del Rio vs Edge happened at WrestleMania. One on one.
So, no matter how adamant you were in the Royal Rumble thread, Mr. Old School, you were WRONG. And you've yet to acknowledge that fact. Swore up and down that Del Rio would lose his shot before 'Mania, swore that someone else would be added, swore that Del Rio just wasn't ready to go for the World Title at WrestleMania.
And you were WRONG.

But he did make HISTORY at WrestleMania, competing in the first ever World Championship match to open the show in WrestleMania History!! But you already know that. |
