Triple Threat will close the show. HHH wins the title and wont allow his ego to be put aside for a much more anticipated Edge/Taker or legendary and history making and show stealing as HBK/Flair. Remember......ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAME! Yea, basically. Im hoping that Jericho wins the MITB and cashes it in right before or after the 3 way. That would be awesome. Wont happen. I think Jericho has to be the favorite to win this with Punk being the dark horse. But no one is cashing it in tonight. I would rather see Punk get it and then use it to switch brands. |

I'd like to see Punk get it, but I think it'll be Mr. Kennedy, just like last year.

My initial idea was for Jericho to cash it in at Summerslam against Taker if hes champ. They would have an awesome match most likely and Jericho would become WHW champ and everyone goes home happy. |

I'm thinking its possible Edge wins by DQ or something tonight. Jericho wins MITB and goes to Smackdown as a babyface to feud with Edge. Perhaps like you said, cashing it in at Summer Slam. |

I thought they did a pretty good job with WM. MITB was insane and I so totally marked out for Punk and his win. Still in shock over it.
Also shocked that Orton retained. I thought for sure we were seeing a title change here. But once I saw he retained, I knew Edge was doomed.
Flair/HBK is quite possibly one of the greatest sports entertainment matches I have seen and easily a WWE MOTY, eventhough I liked MITB better from an art perspective. HBK/Flair was so well told, you have to loved it. And as already said, the ending was perfect with the sorry and I love you.
And the main event was pretty damn awesome. As far as sports entertainment goes, they told a fantastic story, good use of counters and a nice match all in all. However, the ending was awful. I hate this arm bar submission move. Its awful. This isnt MMA and UT aint Frank Trigg. Let it go. Tombstone would have been the best way to end it.

What are you guys doing for WM tonight? I'll eat alot, drink alot, get all hyped up on Snapple, and enjoy WM. I'm surprisingly allowed to buy it tonight. All I'm going to do it sit back, relax, and enjoy Mania. I hope that Flair/HBK goes on last, seeing how it'll probably be Flair's last match. I think it would end Mania on a good note. Yeah I was told to just don't worry... I was fine with saving $60 for my trip to ROH. But watched it with my dad. First time we didn't order to in turn pay for some one else to watch it for free (and no reciprocation of any kind.) I enjoyed it, especially and surprisingly, Mayweather vs Show. I was screaming at the TV when Edge tapped, and felt like there was a God when Orton both retained and pinned Cena. Not to mention I was proud of Punker... I almost wrote an angry letter, had Kennedy won. But he didn't. Oh and Flair-Michaels was fine, but sad.  Any thing else was no complaints... well except the Bunnymania- wish I could fast forward through live television like that. Not pause, and than commence. Enjoyable buy, price is debatable, but I loved it. |

I did a search on "daily events in policing" and the first linked result is from Edison, NJ. That's gotta be an omen....
...it's about senior citizen events, but still ironic in a "remember, the place you go every couple of months" sort of way.

I got DVR. I got to fast forward right through Finlay/JBL and The Bunnymania crap. Why did Maria and Ashley look like trashy whores last night?

Well, I guess I should post my thoughts on Mania:
The real main event, HBK/Flair, was so awesome and emotional. I don't know how HBK didn't break every rib in his body with the missed moonsault on the table. Awesome story, emotion, everything. The only thing bad was hearing some of the calls in the match from Flair. As soon as Flair took the last SCM, you could see him burst out into tears.
MITB was awesome and I marked out for Punk winning. Great match with innovative spots, like the Morrison moonsault with the ladder.
The two world title matches were great. I was shocked when Orton won. Just out of no where. Taker winning was predictible, but cool none the less.

Seems to me Punk was chosen out of panic to win the match. It was obvious that Jeff Hardy was going to win that match until he got suspended.

Id say punk was backup, Isnt punk going to be the WWE's flagship for kids ? Since cena will be shooting a movie and Rey Injured. They want to promote his Straight Edge Lifestyle to kids.

Michaels/Flair-MOTY/D (Decade)
I laughed, I cried, I even screamed and swore.

Saying decade is going way too far. Just because this was the first good match Flair had in at least five years doesn't mean it was the greatest of all time.

Do you know how hard it is to climb a ladder that has not been balanced and flat and not teetering over. And Shelton's fall to break a ladder on the outside was plain sick! I really enjoyed the cast of characters in the MITB match this year. One of the better MITBs. Nice set of spots with a great story told. Numerous chances for people to get the briefcase and this was one of those MITB that was a total crapshoot on who would win. I feel like I got my moneys worth this year, especially with this match and HBK/Flair. UT/Edge was fantastic, cept the ending. |
