Let's bring the outside, inside! Great idea!

...or you could just have it in an outdoor arena. Not like it hasn't been done before.

It is an outdoor stadium. The Giants and Jets share it.

I was thinking along the lines of WCW's Bash at the Beach or WCW Hogwild.

You guys think this song would work for a WWE produced, Untertaker video package? Maybe one with a very serious tone focusing on every wrestler who has fallen to the streak? They'd probably have to loop or extend it, unless they transitioned into another song at some point in the video package

Yeah, I think it was a pretty good show. I felt like they had to deliver on the match quality because the build up to the show was mostly awful, and I think they did.

Rock/Cena was fucking amazing, Rock's best match this year. Match of the night for me

Punk/Taker was not quite as great as Taker's past few matches, but was still a quality match worthy of the streak and definitely one of the best matches of the night. I think it was an impressive effort given how beat up both of these guys are right now. Punk needs a vacation. Speaking of Punk, I loved seeing him do Old School on Taker. God damn that table though, they so rarely break any more. His GTS on Taker was a bit sloppy too, but Taker quickly following up with the Tombstone was badass.

Brock/Triple H I enjoyed. The slam into the announce table Lesnar did on Triple H was brutal. I wanted Brock to go over, but even though he lost I don't think they could possibly have put him over any more in that match than they did. I mean, they pretty much made Triple H into the cheating heel in order for him to win that match, that's how outclassed he was by Lesnar. The announcers were keen on pointing out how outmatched Hunter was throughout the match too, even after he won. I mean HBK kept interfering, Hunter low blowed Lesnar, and Lesnar resisted three consecutive submission attempts by Hunter. Triple H may have won that match, but he looked like a desperate bitch doing it. If you're gonna have Lesnar lose, that's the way to do it.

I'm glad Henry(THAT'S WHAT I DO!), Team Hell No, and The Shield went over. This was a Mania redemption for Daniel Bryan and I like how they set that story into play with Ziggler kissing AJ at the start of the match to insult Daniel Bryan

Fandango/Jericho was okay I guess. It was predictable, Jericho kicking his ass the whole match, then jobbing to him. Fandango looked pretty good out there and I think he may have a future, but god damn it I'm tiring of seeing Y2J job to people and Fandango didn't deserve this spot on the card no matter how much talent he has. So I give this match a thumbs down

I surfed the net during Swagger/Del Rio. I just didn't give a crap about that match.

The crowd could have been much better than it was. Nothing like Chicago at Money in the Bank 2011

Trish is the cutest mom I've ever seen. I guess I can officially call her a MILF now.

I'm not sure I'll watch this, after a poor build-up and multiple scathing reviews of the event, it looks like other than Punk v Taker, it was a let down. Having seen the results via Facebook (grrr) with Triple H, Cena and Taker all winning, it all sounded very predictable.

It's interesting to read your positive comments.

I'm glad you could share your misfortune with us and spoil it for those of us who haven't seen the event yet.
