Wrestlemania...<sigh> a night of wasted potential. MAJOR SPOILERS if you haven't seen it...
Starting with the World Heavyweight Championship was, imho a mistake. i hate the idea of putting such a pivotol match first...why not just come right out and say smackdown is worthless and so is its belt? i get the idea of starting on a high note, but when you do that, you make the meaningless match that follows it look even worse.
The Rhodes/Mysterio match went on WAYYYYY too long. Didn't care about it in the first place. Didn't care about it after 30 minutes of wrestling.
The 8-man tag had SOOOO much potential. Then, just as it was getting REALLY fun, it was OVER??? wtf...
Punk/Orton. coulda been a GREAT match, but they just had Orton limp around the whole time...ugh...we already saw a "pre-existing injury" match (actually TWO if you count Rhodes/Mysterio) with the first match. even with that complaint, this was still a good match. CM Punk is a first-rate performer and shoulda won that match.
i only paid attention to Cole/Lawler because JR came in...they couldn't give Cole some entrance music though?? another one that went WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY to long...wtf on the ending too...
Taker/HHH was good but a little slow moving and the end was a little anti-climactic. i was expecting HHH to hit the hammer, then Taker to do the patented "sit up like nothing's wrong" and hit a Tombstone or two to win. the VERY end also didnt fit in with the storyline either...HHH's "win or die trying" thing should have ended with HIM being carted out of the arena.
Didn't even waste my time on the Snooki thing. how DARE they put it so close to the end of the event???
WWE Championship match.
i don't think ive ever seen a crowd care less about the wrestlemania main event...i wonder if they realize what they've done by having The Rock calling Cena out??? I watched Cena go from a bigger fan favorite than ever as he dismantled The Nexus to a guy getting LOUDLY booed and hearing SILENCE during the parts of his matches where fans should be cheering...
all along this match had some potential and they NEVER let it live up to that potential...even as the match itself was getting good, The Rock just came in and stole the show...
if they don't follow through with a full-blown Rock-Cena feud this was a WASTE
and bumping Sheamus/Bryan to a dark match to keep GARBAGE like snooki and the mysterio match??? ugh...
just overall a night of wasted opportunities.
