OT: The WWE Thread

Main event was okay. Best match of the night was by far Triple H vs Daniel Bryan. For some reason I was expecting Triple H to be rusty and so I wasn't expecting that... glad to be proven wrong.

The streak being broken was of course the most unexpected thing... If I had to guess on what happened, I would guess Taker chose to lose so he could end his legacy with some humility. Also, maybe Taker chose to job to Brock in particular because he's a huge MMA fan and respected Brock's time and success in the UFC. ( Taker's such a fan of the sport/bjj that he started using the gogoplata as his submission move.)

Disappointed that Undertaker didn't want to retire undefeated.

Main event was cool but the stage was all set for a CM Punk return during the Daniel Bryan beat down by Evolution & nothing. Disappointed in CM Punk. Disappointed in Phil Brooks.

Daniel Bryan vs HHH was unexpectedly great. Better than I thought it would be. HHH got real technical (when that's not his style), did great submission reversals & some Japanese style suplexes.

Cool start to WM30 with Hogan, Stone Cold & the Rock.

Decent WrestleMania but wanted more.

Just finished watching it on slight delay. Can't believe Undertaker lost. Big shock. My face was exactly like the people in the stadium :lol:

Two best matches for me was Cena/Wyatt and the main event. I didn't like the HHH/Bryan match. Thought it could have been better. I gotta say, they had me when they took Bryan away on the stretcher. What sold it more was that Orton really took a bad hit off one of those monitors.

undertaker probably wants to retire without people expecting him to ever come back. Still, i rather people put that expectation then having my record tarnished. Because from now on im not going to remember the undertaker for all the times he was undefeated, but im going to remember who and how he lost the streak to. Its bad for the character.

Decent mania? That was one of the top 3 manias ever.

I thought it was a pretty good show. The opening segment, HHH/Bryan, Wyatt/Cena, Cesaro and the main event were all great. I'll put the tag title match with that too if that counts. Taker and Brock sucked except for the OMG ending. Same for the divas match and and the Shield match.

All in all, I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10

Not even close.
I mean, it's all personal preference.
I'm going to have to re-watch it a couple more times & let it settle for at least a year but as of now, no where near top 3 or top 5.

better than 17, 19, 20, 22? And maybe even 26? No way

What was up with that Shield match? Lol
5 minute destruction of legends?

I wish more Punk marks were like you. The guy is GONE, but most of his marks cant let him go. Every big moment, they're gonna assume that's where he's gonna return :roll:

hated that too. They had all that time to waste with the divas match, but the Shield just squashes the legends? Dumb. They could have cut down on Cena and Wyatt too because that match wasn't very good until the last half

Yeah that sucks about punk. If he were to come back you'd think it would have been tonight.

Lesnar is a hard guy to book in wwe. Everyone in the world knows he is legit tough and could easily beat everyone on the roster. His tenure so far has been kind of a joke, but UT losing to him makes it seem realer. Anyway I really hope Sting does come to the wwe and he and 'taker have a year long feud

Happy to see Cesaro getting a face push. That dude is strong, man.

Duh.

The booking was flawless and they made Bryan a legit star. Cesaro Wyatt and the shield came off strong. What more could you ask for? Only 17 and 10 might be better.

Woow that might have been the last time we'll see the undertaker in the ring.

In terms of emotional feels, greatest WrestleMania ever.

H_20 · Post #918 » by **H_20** » Mon Apr 7, 2014 4:25 am

Loved the Hogan,Austin and Rock segment in the beginning.
DB VS HHH, i thought was a really good match. It looked like it was going to go either way, though I knew DB was going to win.
Battle Royal was ok, good that Cesaro won. Crowd loved it.
Cena vs Bray was a great a match,Cena showed some signs of turning heel but kept his cool. This could be good for Bray or bad. Hopefully he can continue his feud with Cena.
Taker vs Lesnar, was a very slow match. I wasn't entertained by it. Taker just doesn't have it anymore, he gave it his all.
DB vs Orton vs Batista, was another match you didn't know how it would end. For a second, I thought DB was going to go the back and not come back. I honestly thought Batista was going to win the match.

It was a good Mania, ill give it a 8/10.

But guys, just imagine if they went ahead with the Orton vs Batista main event without DB. They were forced to give DB the title, because of the fans.

Sting's new favorite number

'crow' sting vs UT next year I hope

The only thing I was disappointed in was not having bet money on Lesnar to beat the streak.

12 to 1 odds. FML, easy money right there.
