No way Cena turns heel.
|
They've been booking Husky Harris very well
E: ****ing terrible finish to a fantastic match. Wyatt's should of gone over. |
All the 10 year olds can go home happy now.
|
If Cena won BECAUSE of the temptation to be evil, then that'd be good. Instead, Super Cena destroys the whole Wyatt Family. Pointless.
In case I have to preemptively say this: having babyfaces win EVERY match on the card except for the main event doesn't make a Orton/Batista victory OK. |
Oh god Lesnar is about to kill a very old Undertaker
Spoiler!
|
They're going to have the Divas match in between the Taker - Lesnar match and the Main Event? Talk about a buzzkill.
|
So basically, I can watch takers entrance and then take an hour to watch game of thrones and then come back to catch the end of the show.

This needs to be the Takers last match.

Womens title match between taker/lesnar and mainevent ? That poor planning on wwe for mania

Kane should retire taker

The classic example of failing to have a cool down match was HHH/Jericho right after Rock/Hogan. The crowd had nothing left to give for the main event because there was no time for them to recover. |
Not that the crowd is that hot for this match, because it is largely awful.
|
holy ****ing what

My stream just gave out. What happened?

GAHHHH. Somebody talk to me. What's going on? |
It seems so bizarre to have someone who only wrestles a few times per year as the one to end the streak.
I don't get it |
Oh man.
|
Sting shoulda broke the streak.
|
Taker is dead. But they are pity clapping for him that's cool

Reports from the Superdome is that security guards are telling crying children that "its OK, that match doesn't count" just to console the shocked, stunned, sad people. It's maybe the second best way to end the streak? It's so unexpected.

It's like Farrah Fawcett in playboy when she's 50. Yeah, it's neat that we saw it, but it just makes me wish I had seen it when it would have been good. |
Props to taker for coming back to do that shit.
|
The crowds reaction was priceless.
|
Who wins the Main Event? In my mind Orton isn't even an option. It's either Bryant wins to keep from having a riot at the Superdome, or Batista wins because it was in his return contract.
|
Bryan wins with the help of CM Punk.
|
Has to be Bryan doesn't it?
|
They'd better send this crowd home happy, cuz the streak being conquered made them feel some kind of way.

I don't believe it

YES! YES! YES!

Best part of the night for me was Hogan, SCSA, and the Rock being in the ring at the same time.
|
That was a good match. Props to Randy Orton. When he RKO'd Bryan on the table his own back landed hard on one of those little tv monitors.
|
Solid event the whole way through. Holy **** Cesaro. And obligatory yes.
|
That Taker match was just sad, man. The guy didn't have it in him. Hopefully he's done.
|
About a month ago, I thought this would be one of the worst WMs of all time. How wrong could I be?
I can't stand Hogan and was never a big mark for returning stars, but seeing Hogan, Austin & Rock in the same ring at the same time was very cool. Bryan-Trips was a very good match to start the show. Cesaro needs a mega push. Wyatt shoulda beat Cena, but as long as Wyatt doesn't fall into the pool of jobbers who've been fed to Cena, I can live with it, I suppose. I'm so happy for Bryan to finally get the belt, but I can't help but think it was overshadowed by Lesnar. I hope not, but I actually stood up and let out a "HOLY SHIT" after the bell rung. That was shocking. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been legitimately shocked by pro wrestling. Lesnar over Taker is one of those times. But overall, that was a pretty rad show. Only thing missing is my boy Punk coming back, but I'm not holding my breath for that one. |

At work and couldn't watch.... |
Nothing will even come close to WM17 for me. This one was pretty average IMO. I'm not in full disappointment with it, but it wasn't spectacular in any way.

Nothing like Rock n Austin in their prime....attitude era. I still watch the promo to that....as well as the match on youtube. JR is ****ing awesome. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iEh0FCYw3Dk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Guys, you know Taker wanted it this way, right? He's tried to get creative to let him lose the streak for years. He doesn't want that streak or his character to be bigger than pro wrestling itself, which is to say: you go out putting the somebody over.
It's just weird that Lesnar, a part-time performer, was the one to get that rub. |
Quote:
Assuming they don't eff up the booking going forward, they've got new stars in Cesaro & Wyatt as well, so that's big. But to each his own, I suppose. |
Quote:
Hogan is the only person I know of that has legitimately tried to make his character bigger than the sport because he lived his own character 24/7. You ask anyone close to him that's worked with him or see anyone else's interviews when they're asked about Hogan they will all tell you his ego is notoriously bigger than everyone else's including Vince. I just can't believe that they chose Lesnar..as the one to end it. Esp how WWE has managed Lesnar's story ever since he came back. Big bad tough UFC champ coming back as part MMA grappler, breaking people's arms, going nuts, then losing in the actual match. Now hes on the biggest stage as a part timer and he wins? WTF? So I agree on that part of your post. |

Why was the Shields match so short? During their intro I had to run into the kitchen to put some chicken in the slow cooker. It felt like I was gone five minutes. I come back in my room and the match is over. Those guys are too talented and too fun to watch for their match to be so short.
|
Consider how many stars have retired with a win. Edge, who was a surprise retirement because of his neck.... Anyone else?
It's pretty customary to put someone over on the way out. Taker knew that, and I'm sure he didn't want to be known as the guy who wouldn't put someone over before he retired. I think it's a valid complaint that Brock's a part-timer, but I'm not going to throw a shit fit over it. My only worry is that Lesnar's win will overshadow Bryan winning the belt(s). Streak match seems to be what everyone's talking about. |
Bryan vs Lesnar at SummerSlam is going to be insane.
|
They probably want Lesnar to overshadow Bryan. Those 2 are probably going to feud now for the WWE championship and Bryan will still be the underdog.

I'm looking at a more long-term view of the show and how we'll remember it 5 years from now. I'm hoping we remember it as Bryan's breakout moment rather than just the streak being broken. |

Squash match was appropriate. They can't really wrestle long without looking like total shit and Billy Gunn was coughing up blood after the squash. |

I think they were just a casualty from the slimmed down WM30 card.
They had a lot of problems with running on time last year, so it seems they focused heavily on not having that problem yet again. |

Also, HHH has been fantastic the last month or so.
He basically did a shoot on all the smarks, made a big parody of himself and cleanly put over a guy that nobody thought he'd ever put over cleanly. His match was also the best one he's had at Wrestlemania in awhile. |
His entrance was awesome too...that was a damn good old school match and it was great to see him put over Bryan cleanly.
Oh and Cesaro is God... |
I thought the same things about HHH. I texted my brother after the HHH vs. Bryan match that HHH had done a good job with this whole situation especially the match. A clean win for Bryan was a must. I'm glad he realized that.
|
After watching the actual match (which was beyond awful), Brock breaking the streak is one of the WORST single booking decisions ever.

You could've used that win to give the ultimate rub to a Bray Wyatt or a Cesaro...Brock didn't need it.
Beyond dumb. Oh and MOTHER**** John Cena for not putting over Wyatt. So sick of that POS. |
I think the ending of the streak was a long-thought plan, hence why the original plan was for Undertaker to be facing Daniel Bryan at WM. Than the whole CM Punk thing happened.
I'm fine with the streak ending, as it has ran its course. Having Brock Lesnar end it? Well, it's really going to depend on what they have planned for him. To be fair, it's not like they gave it to Cena but yeesh. Cena burying the entire Wyatt family while RAPADOOO'ing his way to a win for the 56545456547467th time was absolutely brutal and it ruined a storyline that could of been legitimately huge. I think that finish really hampered what was shaping up to be a top 5 WM. But I guess they wanted to make the kids happy before the upcoming mind**** they were about to receive. We can argue if Brock was worthy or not, but I don't think anyone could argue that 21-1 wasn't the biggest shocker in professional wrestling since Hulk Hogan did the leg drop back @ Bash at the Beach in 1996. Everyone was super complacent about the streak and nobody believed Lesnar was going to win. Vince played the whole scene excellently, right down to the major delay of Brock's theme music after the pin. Heymans reaction was the cherry on the top. |

Actually bryan was rumored to face sheamus before cm punk left.

At the end of the day, I would much rather the streak ended the way it did than having cena beat it. I feel like that is what the wwe wanted, but taker didn't. Its a pitty that punk didn't want to end it. Things may have turned out a lot different in that situation.
|
Taker requested to face Bryan. That's it. It was never in the plans to actually have that match

The Cena/Wyatt finish was the worst part of Mania by far to me. But seeing as WWE was just rewarded by fans, critics, and media for patiently paying off a year's worth of storytelling last night by crowning Daniel Bryan, I'm hoping that WWE is thinking long-term with Cena and Wyatt too.
They established a really interesting vibe last night with Bray being The Joker to Cena's Batman. Sure, Cena won last night by staying true to his moral center despite temptation. But what if that temptation stays with Cena? What if Cena has to struggle over the coming months to keep his inner monster at bay? Bray Wyatt lost the match, but storyline wise he COULD, if WWE chooses to, come much closer to winning the overall feud. |
