I'm glad I could provide the post-show entertainment. I was on hold the entire time I was making my final urines at CIJ's, and the ride home. I finally was on when I was pulling in the garage. Talking to a couple dopes from Canada about wrestling, sitting in your car, while you (re) wife is staring at you, while trying to drop names, is not easy. I was just getting to Jackref. I was going to say HHH chas'd himself with Jackref watching "if you weeeeeellll!" But I was appropriately cutoff.

Thanks to CIJ and family for hosting my silly ass. I had a great time with everyone in attendance. "Especially the ones that ain't like my boy that could be one of dem, you know wit da gold and the man licking baby!"

I know it is time for Taker to take his 3 month vacation. I would not be surprised if HHH was out of action again.
I didn't say it was terrible just was not up to WM standards, good PPV just not great.

I know we talk about Wrestlemania as the Super Bowl, I almost look it as New Year's because it could the unofficial start of the year until the next Wrestlemania.

I thought CM Punk would win and it would lead to a title match in the coming months, could still happen, but just may take longer than usual.

If they do Rock-Cena for Summerslam, I just wonder how they will make that last untill then, when Cena will want Rock in a match right now.

Undertaker and Triple H put on a good match as usuall.

Edge and Del Rio, like I put before, could have been a middle match, not the first match, should have been Mysterio-Rhodes or left Sheamus-Bryan on the event as the first one.

Here would be my big question after this event, do they need to take a look at Smackdown, your matches are the first 3 and how good did people think your title match was that it was first. Since after Mania, they usually have their draft and maybe Punk gets traded there or some other big time wrestler to give it juice. I know it gets a good rating for what's on Sco-Fi, but maybe this show needs some juice.

I'm not going to recap everything, as tornadoes are heading towards Casa Drop In. Negativity will not be the way I go out. I don't know how each of you reacted to the Miz/Cena packages (if you weeeel pardon the expression). I will admit, my jaw was slightly dropped during the Miz deal. As CIJ said, if you didn't love that, grow up and officially stop watching pro wrestling. Maybe not a horrible life decision, but that was great!

It seemed like HHH and Taker were going to walk up the ramp side by side. If that happened, I probably would have excused myself from the garage.

Just finished watching it.

Taker and HHH was a GREAT GREAT match. The last 3 years for Taker at Mania have been amazing. Not sure what else he can do at Mania. Anything else is going to be sub par.

I thought Punk and Orton was a really good match as well. Those two guys just get every aspect of wrestling and know how to put on a good match.

I was a little disappointed in Miz and Cena. Just kind of an average match. I was hoping to see more from Rock, but maybe there will be more to come with him screwing over Cena.

It was great to see Stone Cold give Booker the stunner!

Maybe Booker can be a non-English speaking heel announcer now.

The Rock and John Cena are now the only two babyfaces to lose in the main event of WrestleMania, thus making the Miz and Triple H the only two heels to win in the WM main event.

Interesting...

Would Austin be considered the heel in his match with Rock at WM17?

A good night for retaining championships.

That's a tough one, because technically both guys were babyfaces heading into the match. Austin didn't turn heel until the tail end.

You're probably right though. I think that should count as well. That means The Rock was somehow involved every time it happened.

For the people not excited about the Cena-Miz Match, I was listening to the post-Wrestlemania radio show and they had a caller call in and say that the Triple H-Taker match went longer than expected, so they had to cut down on the Miz-Cena match, don't know how true or not.

I would just say, they really didn't have a good buildup, all the weeks were Cena-Rock, and Miz would attack Cena at the end of the show. After the fact now, but I remember early on, there was talk of the Nexus taking on the Corre, keep that to take care of Punk, have Orton face the Miz, and Cena-Rock.

I don't know if they wanted 2 non-title matches to upstage their title matches, with Triple H vs Taker as the other one.

Why would time matter on a PPV event? It doesn't matter if they go 10-15 minutes over the scheduled time like it would if this was on regular television. There's not another show waiting to be broadcast when Mania is over.

They only have the feed for a certain time. WCW had that happen to them and the main event was cut off.

Which was a totally WCW thing to have happen. WegottagoseeyouThursdayonThunder!

That's pretty lame. You would think they would pad the time schedule a little to account for something running long.

It was only fitting it was WCW.

The DDP-Goldberg match from Halloween Havoc.

On the time, WWE like to end their events 10-15 minutes before the hour, this one was like a minute.

I don't think the lack of time had anything to do with it. There was no way they were going to come close to Taker and HHH. No matter how much time they had the match would have come off as inferior.

Besides the PPV ending highlight package is usually one of the best parts of WM, don't want that cut.

Here's the Miz promo from last night. You'll have to hike the volume.

Wow. I had a much different perspective on the event. I thought it sucked and will go down as a bottom 5 wm of all time. With the exception of taker hhh there were no holy shit moments...nothing you couldn't get from regular wwe programming. That would have been a decent random ppv, but it was just a bad bad wrestlemania. No surprises. Overly predictable. Orton and punk deserved more time. Sheamus and bryan deserved time in general. Edge - del rio was fine but reaked of smackdown television main event programming, not wm. 8 man tag was ridiculously stupid. The order of the matches was awful. It was a disaster. I wish I had enjoyed it like you guys. Bad for me.

We were shitting on quite a bit of the card yesterday. It maybe doesn't come through.

I had a wrestling question and since there was talk in this part about it, I put it here.

Why is it bad when a wrestler says what happened before in a match. The reason I bring it up, is they didn't want to mention the previous match between Taker-Triple H at Mania, and I remember in the Ultimate Warrior DVD, when the Warrior came to Nitro and talked about when he first came to see Hogan, that Hogan said he almost balled up his fist and wanted to nail him. Hogan brought up if you tell the fans, then people won't by the ppv.

I think any wrestling fan that remembers anything, would know that Warrior already beat Hogan. Is it they don't think we remember anything in the wrestling business or is it something else.
