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.
