Pretty decent for a WWE PPV, but a MAJOR letdown as Wreslemania's come. Some thoughts:
John Cena vs. The Big Show
They put this as the curtain jerker? Not too bad of a match. Can't wait to see if they follow up with a big "WORD" dent in Big Show's noggin.
World Tag Team Championship Match
Really quick match. Some decent action, but nothing enough to really get into. Jindrak and Cade were useless here.
Christian vs Chris Jericho
Nice match. I thought Trish's turn was done pretty well. I don't know why they did it, but it done the right way. That didn't make any sense.
Evolution vs. The Rock and Sock Connection
Highlight of the match: Ric Flair doing the people's elbow. Seriously, Flair was DA man tonight, totally upstaging Rock. The finish came out of nowhere.
Playboy Evening Gown Match
Not too bad, but this was no Trish vs Stacy lingerie match.
Cruiserweight Open
Interesting setup to the matches. Like a cruiser tourney in fast forward. I would have liked a big 10 man elimination spot fest, but this was still lots of fun. Ultimo: get a shorter cape. =(
Goldberg vs Lesnar
Whoa. Totally surreal. Crowd was all over Lesnar and Goldberg. Chanting "You Sold Out," or "This Match Sucks," and the obligatory "Boring" chants. The finish totally sucked. They could have accomplished the same in 5 minutes, and save some face as well.
WWE Tag Team Championship Match
I think this went better than the World tag match, but still nothing special.
Women's Championship Match
Aw, Victoria wasn't wearing her butt shorts this time. Oh well. During the chase scene my friends and I were singing the Benny Hill theme. Nice touch withe the Barber giving Molly the broken pair of shavers, giving Victoria enough time to get the upper hand. I can't believe they actually spent time filming the whole entire shaving.
WWE Heavyweight Championship Match
Awesome match. Weird psychology going on, with moving from the midsection to the finish with the ankle lock. But an awesome match from top to bottom. Eddie has the greatest facial expressions.
Kane vs. the Undertaker
Great touch when Kane's pyro went off, the cityscape in the background was on fire. A pretty dissapointing match, however. It was looking good with Paul Bearer and the druids coming out, but then Undertaker came out looking like a cowboy rather than the dead man. He didn't really change anything except his music, and a new cowboy hat. He didn't even have the drawn on "tear" under his eye! Waaaah.
World Heavyweight Championship Match
This was one of those moments where I'm proud to be a wrestling fan. Great emotion from the crowd, fantastic finish. There were so many BELIEVABLE near falls, and that's what really made this match. MOTY candidate all the way!
