This match is kind of boring

Did Punk end Takers streak?

This crowd was great at the start, but this lacking card has killed them over time. HHH/Brock should of been on near the beginning of this PPV.

I care more about the match that got bumped than the last hour of this thing.

FYP

Why would you even need to ask?

The thing about this Wrestlemania that I dislike the most is I can't really recall any backstage segments.

One of the best things about Wrestlemania were those. Was there even any, or did they just waste time with bad taped promos we've already seen?

more like Taker ended Punks streak

see ya in September Punk

for the same reason some choose to watch it...

Has mania ever ended with the crowd favorite losing?

We hate ourselves and enjoy pain?

Yeah, it hasn't been that long since Cena won at Wrestlemania. Brace yourself for disappointment.

LOL wat,

so the Rock just nonchalantly walks into a Cena jumping up and hitting the AA

Its been obvious that Taker wouldn't lose to Punk. From what's been said there weren't any near falls on Taker either.

As much as I like the Rock, it does piss me off when he wins matches with a god damn elbow.

About the best way they could salvage this Main Event, since it's hilariously obvious Cena is gonna win, would be wrasslin logic applied to where Ziggler got the terms of the briefcase changed so he could cash in on the WWE title and cashes it in when Cena wins.

Instead, Cena will just win and celebrate as the crowd ****ing rages.

they have done their own 3 moves so many times now they have to do eachothers

I also like how finishers are less effective on payperviews. I mean on Raw and smack down, you hit your finisher once and you win.

Either the crowd sucks because the matches suck or the sound isn't coming across very well.

This match isn't that good and the last match killed them.

he keeps putting him in the AA cause thats the only thing he knows lol

I've thought this all night, though. The boos for Cena are coming across pretty well.

God Cena needs a new finisher.

lol

****ing terrible.

lolllllllllllllllll

YES

well u knew that was gonna happen.

WWE can't afford for Rock to be their champ and only show 10x a year.

over?

HIT HIM WITH THE BELT

WAIT I JUST SAW THIS ON WCW SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SCOTT NORTON AND ICE TRAIN

ROCK AND CENA ARE GONNA BE A TAG TEAM D:

stupid lame hug passing the torch bs crap

see ya never, Rock

BOO

So glad I didn't pay for this.

Or watch a stream.

Bad main event, horrible finish, dumb ending segment.

The real tragedy for New Jersey just finished.

God damn it WWE.

Rocky's last match?

cant believe Punk lost to the Rock so he could hold the belt for a month and a half and give it to Cena to hold for the next 6 years

No, he's already confirmed for WM 30 next year.

He's booked for the next PPV iirc

I think I may retire from watching WWE then comeback and put my career online

passing of the guard PG bullshit.

One of the bottom 5 manias of all time. My god.

Yeah, he's supposedly booked for Extreme Rules. Not sure how they get to that after the BS tonight, though.

For realsies? I don't keep up as much as in the past. Used to be on the torch as much as CP. When's RVD comin back dammit? Heard he was at the HOF thing.

completely agree. Im sick and tired of them putting Taker matches in the middle. You cant recover from it. The damn main event was boring. They spent the last five minutes countering their finishers. No story telling or anything.

It was all setup so perfect, Cena could have hit Rock with the belt, gloated over his carcass and gave the middle finger to the crowd.

shut your god damn mouth

The crowd didn't sound great to me at the beginning. Maybe it's because I am watching it on my laptop. What a sack of shit the final 2 matches were.

Should have had Punk and the SHIELD, or Mae Young, or someone come out and start pounding on the Rock so Cena could rescue him and get a little pop (like the NWO did to Hogan). Christ, I've never seen a guy win a title at mania and not get to celebrate. What a shithole ending to their "Superbowl".

has to be a rematch one would think......

Yeah. There really wasn't any memorable match from this entire PPV.

Should of seen it coming with how terrible the build-up for it was, but I assumed it would of at least been decent.

The only match I'd actually consider good was Undertaker/Punk.

They're not going to turn Cena heel until they have a face that can replace him well. Right now, they definitely don't have that.

The crowd sucked because it's NY/NJ....and the overall event was awful.

I thought the Tag Team match was pretty good.

And they need to go back to having the Money in the Bank Ladder match open up WM. That is usually one if not the best match of WM.

ROFL at people who still follow this shit.

And double ROFL for any person who bought this crap.

Other than CM Punk the WWE hasn't been entertaining since the Attitude Era.

They cant. Those matches pretty much ended Edges Career, and Christian hasn't been able to stay healthy since.

Its too taxing of the body.

This. MITB should be on the Mania card every year.

Which one? They weren't bad matches, but outside of the WM stage...would of been hard to tell I wasn't watching a match on free TV.

Well...

...TBH, I wouldn't have been happy if the Rock won again. I jut wasn't going to be happy regardless of the outcome. Cactus Jack should have made an interference run and force a double DQ. *BANG*BANG* [Lazy-tongue]

He better not bring back that ****ing spinner belt.

I quit watching after TNA brought Hogan in that was just something else he is a ****ing moron so is that company and WWE

LOL wat the **** are you smoking

Those "matches" now have their OWN ****ING PAY PER VIEW EVENT

they are saying they should be moved back into WM and not their own standalone

the fact that you think they got rid of them LOL

I wondered if this maybe the reason why they don't do those very much anymore.

I agree and some of those guys take really bad falls so I can understand why they don't. But it is still awesome to watch

Tag Team Championship match. Bryan\Ziggler always do pretty entertaining matches.

TLC and MITB have their own pay per views

you probably wouldnt know that because its during down time when any recognizable name takes off so the cards are depleted talent of a bunch of no names that dont even sniff the WM card

so I understand why you think they dont exist, but they do, they tried cashing in on the popular WM openers with their own pay per view

the bumps may not be as bad but the quality is also down as they use them as main card matches for those specific pay per views rather than balls out openers to fire the crowd up

Pretty sure the payday they would get for participating in Mania would make up for any pain.

I'd prefer that they turned the undercard into a mini King of the Ring tournament with the winner getting a briefcase over a 20 minute spot-fest.

It'd be more interesting than "we have no use for these dudes, so lets give them something that requires very little effort in a match nobody cares about."

As for the dead crowd, I'd be silent and pissed if I spent a lot of money for this...

ANY special rules match with "weapons" involved beats the same bullshit they trot out there every night as a main event (Punk excluded).

the problem with the openers on the WM card is they are all rushed too quickly and so short because they have to make room for the slow main events

Daniel Bryan had to come out and rush all his moves push the pace of the match just to get it done, he came out firing and bing bang boom it was over

Same with Del Rio, I blinked my eyes after Zeb was done talking and already that it, and those matches had BELTS on the line.

They make their belts look so weak with such short payoffs on cards like this, then they wonder why come summer time nobody gives a shit

I'd also prefer that they scrap Team Hell No already and push Daniel Bryan in the singles again.

Bryan should be pushed as one of the top singles. He's better on the mic and better in the ring than anyone above him, short of Punk and Cena.

Unfortunately it'll probably never happen because he's 5'3 and vince won't take anybody who isn't a 6'5 body builder seriously.

Main event was pretty bad. Glad Cena won though, because **** Rocky.

Thrice in a lifetime! Can't wait for that.

Yep. Punk's entire title reign was essentially to give Cena the belt back. So was The Rock's, I guess, but it's not like anyone actually saw him on Raw to confirm that he was the champ...

Awful. Absolutely awful. Thank God there's a sports bar here that shows PPVs or I wouldn't have ordered it.

I haven't read back through the thread yet, but there's nothing from this show that I (and hopefully anyone) will remember in 2 years. Only match that I would consider Mania-quality was Punk-Taker and I was a little let down by it TBH. I kinda feel like they keep trying to recreate HBK-Taker with every match he's had since then, with a bunch of reversed finishers & false finishes & whatnot. But it was still the best match of the night IMO.

Only thing I won't bitch about was The Shield winning. They're the best-booked thing in the company right now.

Why Henry-Ryback actually happened (not to mention getting 5+ minutes) is beyond me. Awful.

Was hoping to see them break up Bryan & Kane so DB can have a singles career again. Plus, Ziggler could have cashed in later and held both the tag & WHC belts. That might be too much for creative to work with though...

I'm a Fandango mark, but his match with Jericho seemed a bit off. Hope they keep that feud going for a bit.

Didn't really care about ADR-Swagger, was hoping that DZ was going to cash in. I enjoyed the match, though.

Taker-Punk, see above. Good, not great. My expectations may have been too high and it doesn't help that we all know Taker's never losing, especially to anyone not named John Cena. Wanted to see something new, don't feel like I got it.

Loved watching Lesnar beat the tar out of HHH for awhile. Then Trips came back & it was totally lame.

Cena-Rock might have been the most boring Mania main event I've ever seen. Even if you throw out the fact that Cena had to win, they were just reversing finishers the entire time. And the after-match "celebration" was the lamest thing they've done in awhile.


I was considering going to WM30 next year. But I've got a bad feeling Rock-Cena III is going to happen and that Cena will still have the belt. In which case, I'll be saving my money.

They're still talking Rock and Brock Lesnar last year.

I don't understand what they've done with Brock Lesnar this entire time. He shouldn't have lost to anyone yet. That way when he eventually does lose to someone, it would mean something. But no. He has to lose to John Cena. And then HHH has to get his win back.

What a waste of millions of dollars.

It really seems like Vince cares more about getting a crowd reaction that he specifically wants than making logical choices.

Putting over his son in law and his cash cow is a total Vince thing.

Triple H winning the night Rock loses is a complete stroke to Triple H's ego if follow/believe the theories that Triple H was always jealous of the success the Rock has had from the WWE, and into entertainment.

That's why Triple H would bury guys like Mick Foley, Booker T, etc He would never ever ever let any of those guys become better than him, like the Rock. Huge ego/inferiority complex

I just had the most awful thought. Rock is signed up for Extreme Rules. He & Cena are in love. The Shield has been destroying all the faces. Apparently Punk is gone, so all the heels are gone, too.

Extreme Rules handicap match: Cena & Rock vs. The Shield.

Someone tell me this isn't going to happen.........

Like when Punk had all the freaking momentum in the world, was mega-over as the anti-establishment badass with a pipe bomb & thought HHH was a garbage C.O.O. and challenged him to a match at Night of Champions 2011?
http://ts1.explicit.bing.net/th?id=H...56720&pid=15.1

HHH wins lol

I honestly don't think Punk's character has been the same since that loss. He's still awesome. But before he lost that match, he was must-see TV for a few months prior. Since then, not so much.

You have to be a masochist to watch this shit anymore.

I actually tried to get back into it a few months ago and couldn't. Once I watched all the Netflix releases my interest quickly fizzled.

The booking is simultaneously overly safe, predictable, and illogical, and that's hard to do.

They really ****ed themselves over by not building up enough guys to credibly hold the belt.

I'm honestly not sure they even know how to properly build someone anymore. When they do decide to push someone, they **** it up completely. See: Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston (unbelievably bad), Miz (his lack of improvement in the ring didn't help), R-Truth, Tensai (to be fair, this never stood a chance...but still), Wade Barrett.

If they did half of that list correctly, they'd be in a lot better shape right now.

I stopped watching wrestling about 10 years ago or so. To me it seemed like when Shane McMahon got less involved the company went to shit. I always read about it occasionally to hope something good happens, but it always seems boring and predictable. The only time I've watched in recent years was ECW ONE NIGHT STAND, a few Punk promos on you tube, went to Raw in OKC because my wife won tickets on the radio( I believe Punk won the title for the first time) and the Raw anniversary show pretty recently. It used to be a fun little escape. I figured eventually something new would happen to bring me back, but I don't think it's ever gonna happen. I don't know why you guys continue to torture yourselves.
