Fuck the haters. I think this was a decent mania.

It's like Wrestlemania 22. It wasn't the best show ever but there was nothing horrible and I think the matches Delivered and the 3 main events were awesome.

The top 3 of the night were

Taker/Punk
Brock/HHH
Fandigus/Jericho

The main problem with wrestling now is the "Fans" who have to shit on everything no matter how good it is. I didn't go into Mania this year expecting Another Wrestlemania 17
I went in expecting a show that was at least decent and I got that. I was very sick this weekend and for 4 hours this Morning not having any idea what went down last night I was not only entertained but forgot for those 4 hours that I was sick.

BUT now they really have to deliver next year. It's Wrestlemania 30 it's the first 10th mania to not be in MSG and they also have to really attempt to top Wrestlemania 17.
Last year ALMOST did but next year needs to.

While I would have loved to see HHH vs. Brock Lesnar and CM Punk vs. Undertaker, the results were completely predictable. I would have been upset if I had paid $50 to see it.

All the good guys win, whoopdee freaking doo.

$50 is the price for the pay per view

Punk/Taker was good and HHH/Brock had some very good spots and one semi botch.

Championship match was slow to get going and really didn't pick up until it turned into finisher city. The Rock had a confused look on his face like either him or Cena was missing their spots for like the first 10 minutes.

$50 on T.V. To see it live is much more expensive.

I'm in now what mode. WWE usually falls into Doldrums post Mania. I kind of want Punk to get the title again.

and WHEN is Ziggler going to Cash in?

I think people are seriously overrating that Punk/Taker match. It wasn't as good as Punk's last match with Cena or Taker's matches with HBK

Wrestlemania was $70 in HD, maybe $50 is the non HD price. Thought it clever to just stream the show, but watching it in YouTube quality with frequent hiccups kind of sucks.

I love seeing Henry squash Rybak both literally and figuratively. He dominated that match

I gotta say, even though I enjoyed the show because of how hard everyone worked, it wasn't worth $70. Vince is a thief in my opinion. As Manias go, this won't be remembered as one of the worst, but not one of the best either.
