Decent enough match... surprised that Kane went over.

and a DAMN moment to end a horrible throwaway segment.

 

[Springsteen]

They had to cut the Bryan match short to fit in that segment and because Triple H wants 5 more minutes.

I might go and post that on a ROH forum, I wonder how it'd go down.

 

[Springsteen]

More Daniel Bryan chants. I dare them to do that when Triple H is fighting.

Haha!

I wasn't expecting this match so early to be honest.

 

[Springsteen]

Me neither but it makes sense to split up the main matches.

I was just reading that Brock is in Miami and has reportedly signed a new deal... part-time only. There's also word that WWE wants to announce, "at least one main event for Wrestlemania 29" tonight. Rock vs. Brock? Cena vs. Brock?

 

[Springsteen]

I'm hearing Brock rumours too.

Taker's haircut is cool. Makes him look like a convict.

About time the Cell got it's own music.

Taker became Chuck Liddell with that haircut.

 

[Springsteen]

Holy good fucking lord that was awesome. What a wonderful storytelling match. Triple H was awesome, Taker looked great. Shawn Michaels was tremendous. Half an hour, absolutely top drawer wrestling.

That was quite possibly one of the greatest matches I've seen in my life. Last year was great, but this year was just off the charts... amazing storytelling by all three of them, especially HBK. The ending is giving me goosebumps to be completely honest here. It truly is the end of an era... there will never be another three performers or wrestlers like the guys leaving the ring right now.

 

[Springsteen]

That's just wonderful to see. You will never see those three men in that environment at the same time again. If there's a better match this year in the WWE they'll do really well. That was just amazing.

The HoF recap was the first I saw of Edge with short hair... good look for him.

 

[Springsteen]

Seeing Booker come out then made me realise how lucky we were to get JR for that match. Top notch announcing. THIS is why he should come back for PPV's only. He doesn't want to sadly, but it would be great. That match was awesomely called.

 

[Springsteen]

In a sense it made sense to put this match here, buffering the mains. But it's painful and the crowd just do not care.

At least Team Johnny wins.

 

[retro]

Ugh. More Johnny Ace? uke: I didn't even bother watching... I was busy cleaning up in my living room instead.

 

[Springsteen]

I don't mind him. I find Teddy pretty awful.

As for this Axcess stuff, nothing will ever top that reading challenge at Wrestlemania 5 where Duggan turned up pissed.

 

[retro]

Ugh, I can't stand him at all. I'm not a huge Teddy Long fan either... but fuck, Johnny Ace just pisses me off.

Now it's time for what could be one of the best wrestling matches we'll see this year... I've been looking forward to this for a while now.

 

[Springsteen]

This should be great.

Overall not a great Wrestlemania thus far. The Taker/Triple match was really amazing of course. The WHC I can't possibly rate, the problem was the fact that with it being a PPV the crowd can't really be predicted, unlike a TV crowd, and that's why the crowd didn't really like it. Orton/Kane was not bad but the crowd didn't like it. Cody/Big Show was standard stuff. The two other matches looked like TV matches. The Taker/Triple H match drags the rating to just over halfway for me, it was that good. If everyone goes to plan this will be great and then Brock come sout at the end of Rock/Cena and stares down Rock, and that's where it goes off the air.

 

[retro]

and with that... not a single match on this PPV went the way I wanted it to.

 

[retro]

and is it just me, or did the crowd seem to be split for that match?
