Right, not been on here for a while, so then....WM thoughts....here we go...
As has been suggested by KP, this event was saved by Taker/HBK, and oh boy, i'm not kidding when I say that this was easily one of the best (if not the best) matches I have ever seen, marked out for the whole thing, a real iconic Wrestlemania moment, I cannot stress how good this match was.
Secondly, the main event, was an utter fail. HHH winning was ridiculous, even more ridiculous was the way he dominated the match and didn't allow Orton to get much offence in. For goodness sake, having built up Orton as the biggest heel in the company to then bury him on the biggest show of the year is a farce, his momentum will now be scuppered and this has to be considered a major dissapointment, terrible.
The MITB was alright, some good spots, but was botch ridden and I really didn't care who won, I have no real objection to Punk winning, but I don't see what else they can do with him that they didn't do last year (unless a heel turn is in the works, and I really hope it is).
The triple threat for the WHC was ok, reminded everyone that Edge and Cena have good chemistry together, but the inclusion of Big Show was pointless, as he did very little in the match. It actually was better to watch than I thought it would be, but I really didn't care about it and I don't think many people in the crowd did either, just glad that this mess of a feud is over.
Was pleasantly surprised with the Jericho/Legends match, was booked nearly perfectly, Steamboat showed that he has still "got it" and put on a great (if a bit short) match, crowd were really into it, and the right man won, good match. The Rourke involvement at the end was a bit dubious but I suppose it was always going to happen and could have been far worse, at least Jericho wasnt made to look like a total bitch.
Hardys match was ok, pretty much exactly what I expected, a few decent spots, decent enough match, and the right man definitely won, lets hope Matt Hardy continues to get some sort of push. Can't help but think that this match would have benefited from having a bit more build up as well.
Divas match - farce, less said about this the better.
IC title match - pointless, another farce, didnt showcase the talent of either guy whatsoever, so much for JBL's "legendary announcement" or whatever, terrible, waste of a place on the card. At least it was marginally longer than the ECW title match at WM24.
I think I may have missed something amongst all that, but all in all, glad I didnt pay to watch this, not a great event, and the E screwed up the booking in the main event horribly, Taker vs HBK was incredibly awesome though, and is the one thing that drags the ppv has a whole up into the "acceptable" category.
