The Bryan/seamus non-match.what a crock of poo.
Kane V Orton..
Divas tag match with unknown celebrity(seriously who the hell was that?)
Big show winning the title, though not a bad match..
Team Johnny V Team Teddy, much too quick and should have been first or 2nd on the bill rather than follow the epic taker match.
Flo-rida and the other **** band.

The Good
Crowd chanting for Bryan throughout the show
Taker V HHH, didnt think they could top last year but wow that was such a great match!.
Punk V Jericho,brilliant,
Rock V cena, could have been a bit better but still good

I think Cena wrestled as a heel tonight in his style,was good to see.should have been a few better spots in the event altogether i feel. the triple suicide somersault from the ring during the 6 man tag match was great as was punks bump from suplex to the outside.Also taker and HHH battering the **** out of each other was great.

Anyway I'm knackered and quite drunk.night guys

how anyone can say that match was even good let alone brilliant, is baffling

was a huge disappointment. Very slow paced, with far too much over selling.

poor night at the office for both I thought.

Oh yeah, you're right. I didn't watch that PPV. Still though I don't think they'll do another match if this was billed as a once in a lifetime bout.

That's advertising man, and it still is a once in a lifetime match.... Until the rematch is arranged.

I think they performed well but as you said it was so slow at times. The crowd was very quiet for the majority of it. If it was a bit faster it would have kept the crowd interested and been an better match overall.

Yea wasnt Rock vs Hogan kinda billed as something similar? Then they had a rematch a year later

I found the Rock v Cena match a bit dull. Was slow for the most part, and they seems to spend a majority of the match just recovering from moves and taking breathers. Rock definitely seemed rusty but I suppose that's to be expected. Camera men were terrible too as you could see and hear them taking each other through their moves multiple times.

What was everyone expecting out of this match??? It is what it is....it's a match that will go down in history as one of the all time greats, just on the sheer size of hype built up around it.

Let's look at Rock vs Hogan - it was no where near the best technical match ever, but it's still one of the greatest Wrestlemania match-ups of all time. In the Rock's new DVD, Jericho puts it best by saying if you watched that match with the volume turned off, you would probably get sick looking at it. But because of the atmosphere and crowd reaction to every move, it's an instant classic.
Same applies to Rock/Cena. In my opinion it was a fantastic match and the ending was great. Was totally expecting Cena to win and he played off the heelish/pissed off role very well i thought.

Rock & Hogan had FAR more heat from the Crowd. Even if WWE rammed it down your throats that main event last nite was not nor will ever be a all time great wasn't even the best match of the nite technically or for atmosphere.
