End of Show(ending at 10:59pm closest to 11pm ever that I can remember for a wrestling PPV).
My Rating 6.4/10 A Ok Show. Did not feel Wrestlemania special. Show did not pick up until the Taker/HHH match, if something stronger started the show it could of made the entire show better but the plane never could take off of the runway.
Best Parts
1. Backstage: Rock w/ Mean Gene & Pee Wee. Really funny stuff. Plus was short & sweet.
2.HHH/Taker awesome match. Predicable move by move(finsher kickout, etc.) but was awesome. If it was PG-14 and had some blood it could of been even better. Told a awesome story. Only match that had a WM feeling.
3. Mixed Tag Match. Was short & sweet. Cool to see Trish & McCool in the ring together. Morrison/Ziggler were lame(only one move), and Snooki's cheerleading experience here in Ulster County,NY payed off with a impressive molly go round(never expected that).
4. Miz's enterance. Great video package showing Miz's career so far. Got you pumped.
50/50 Parts
1. World Title Match. Ok match but should of been alot better. Disapointed by that. Post match was stupid, lame, and a waste of time.
2. Rhodes/Rey nothing special. Could of been better. But like that Cody went over to help him.
3. Backstage w/ Snoop. Good: Regal & Ryder very funny. Bad: Masters/Yoshi/Khali/Beth/Hornswoggle/Bellas
4. Backstage w/ Rock/Eve/Mae. Okish just went on too long.
5. Punk/Orton. Ok match nothing special about it, went too long and was kinda boring. Nice finsh.
6. Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler on commentary. Nothing special, JR was not awesome. But was good. My hope is brodcast team goes JR/Matthews/Cole/Regal being used.
7. WWE Title Match. Okish match kinda boring but the finsh with the Rock was good(but very very prediacable).
Worst Parts
1. Commercials, Video Packages, etc. waste of time.
2. Rock's opening segment. Boring and went on too long. Needed to start the show hot not like this.
3. Cole & Lawler arguing back & forth. annoying.
4. 8-Man Tag. Bad match way too quick. nothing was thier. And why tape the Vladmir stuff on Saturday if it was not aired. You could of injuryed him out backstage or on his way to the ring.
5. Cole/Lawler match. If it was shorter it would of been fine. But it went on too long. Michael Cole was hilarous and the finsh was funny too. Post match also went on too long with Booker. Josh Matthews(former tough enough wrestler) sold the stunner great. Plus censoring the audio if Stone Cold cursing was annoying.
6. Cena's enterance was expecting something very extrvagent but it was really lame.
7. No Tony Chimel! what?!
Should you order the replay? No save some money and just get the DVD. The Taker/HHH match is a must see, Snooki stuff will be on TV for free, and backstage segments will be on the DVD plus two bonus matchs.
