Buehrle>Wood

What is with the camera work the last two nights? Wwe get a new crew or something? It's been awful.

This crowd is absolutely insane. It's surreal. And Bryan is officially the most over wrestler I've ever seen

Triple H is so goddam good

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) I think the problem is the fight just seemingly wasnt brutal enough to beat Undertaker. When Taker lost I expected there to be blood, broken caskets, etc. It was just kind of odd. This is just popping up now. Well we knew he was hurt but apparently he was very very injured right at the start. X Pacs twitter almost makes me think he broke his neck.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 06:19 PM) I knew Sting was coming in, but didn't know exactly what the plan was. So if they were going to do a match with him and UT and 31, were they going to ihe's aoduce him at the end of 2014 and do like a 4 month build? Was he going to come in soon and do something? For UT losing to Brock, I see it. This was a MAJOR put-over. I know people are excited about the younger guys mentioned in this thread, but honestly, they haven't earned it IMO. Brock is part time yes, but unless there is something crazy, he's not going back to UFC. No reason he can't be the part time star UT was for many years, and to me, that's an appropriate passing of the torch. Agreed. Brock was the absolute perfect choice. A) you need a heel. people will HATE whoever ends the streak. Brock is a monster heel with the greatest heel voice of our time at his side. B) you need someone established. Roman Reigns or whoever could very well be wrestling in bingo halls in two years, like every other young star seemingly soon to be crowned next big thing for the last decade. You cant waste this. C) make it believable. Taker has survived absolute brutality in these matches. Brock is a monster UFC world champion and is pretty much the last cross brand star the WWE has left (well Cena too). D) you need something surprising. Okay maybe you don't but if made it all the more better. The only concern I have is that Brock is part time. But he can't go back to UFC so what else is he going to do? I bet he agreed to pick up more dates as a result of this. The only other choice I can think of is Wyatt. But he's still probably not established enough and his gimmick could very well get stale.

Usos vs Real Americans- *** - This was a spectacular tag match between 2 great teams.. I'm not acknowledging 2 other teams were in this. Where does the tag division go from here? There are only 4 tag teams left and 2 of them are complete dogs***. The other 2, Usos and Rhodes, can't really face each other HHH vs Bryan- ****.5*- Match of the night for sure. The buildup really paid off. I for one am not tired of Trips. Shield vs Kane/NAO- *- Kind of wish the Shield had bigger plans here. The ending move was pretty awesome though. Battle Royale-***- disaster of a start but it got really incredible down to the last 8 guys or so. Kofi with his best spot ever, del Rio and Sheamus going out together and then of course Cesaro picking up Big Show. Cena vs Wyatt- ***.5*- little slow for my tastes but the ring psychology of this match was something I haven't really seen before. So awesome. It just didn't pay off for a meaningful ending. Undertaker vs Brock- *.5*- I'm not sure how to rate this. Terrible match but the most shocking moment evar. Divas s*** show- .5*- whatever Main Event-****- the Rko power bomb spot was incredible. Glad to see trips out there and finally get a taste of his own medicine. Incredible stuff here. One of the best WMs ever. Even the weaker matches had awesome moments. Except for the divas s***. We'll remember this for launching the reality era the same way people remember WrestleMania 17.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 05:55 AM) The Brock/Taker finish looked like a mistake to me, the way Taker appeared to kick out at the last microsecond, and then the way no one really knew how to react in the ring afterwards. Also no music hitting and Heyman's reaction (which was gold, as usual). If they planned all of that, then major kudos to WWE for making it a true shocking moment. They put 21-1 graphics up immediately and looking back, WWE printing a Eat Sleep Beat the Streak t shirt makes a lot more sense. Cole definitely knew listening to him. Heyman based on his reaction I'm not so sure. But dude is the most amazing actor in the business so he probably did. The no music playing was brilliant. It lead to the most amazing crowd reaction I've ever seen.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 04:21 AM) Taker/Sting does nothing for me now the streak is over. Agreed. And watching taker tonight that match would be really really bad.

Dave Meltzer just said Brock was told by taker in 2010 that he would be the one to end the streak so there you go. Also undertaker is hurt again and wwe doesn't know what to do with sting anymore.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:57 AM) Your view on Taker's loss is 100% speculation whether it was booking or not neither one of us really know for sure. There's no way taker loses unless he wanted to.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:42 AM) Having a part time guy in Brock who is already over beating Taker makes no sense. Bryan gets his moment in the sun. Cena gained absolutely nothing in beating Bray but, Bray lost alot of mo and should of been putover tonight. WWE booking sometimes baffles me. That's not wwe booking. Thats Taker choosing his loss. That loss was rumored a few years ago. Never happened until now obviously. But Taker wanted to drop to Brock. Who knows why, probably because hes a huge mma fan. Either way vince wasnt going to say no to whoever taker wanted to lose to. Agreed on Bray. The match was terrific. Ending sucked. Should have been either Cena losing or at least him losing it and going crazy on Bray to make it look like Wyatt got into his head. Nope instead he wins clean and is kissing babies right after. HHH goes down. Big Show goes down. Kane/NAO go down. Taker goes down. Orton/Batisrs do too. Every veteran is putting someone over tonight in what seems like the start of a brand new era...except Cena still has to win.

One of the best WMs ever and probably the best one it at least ten years.

I don't know what's going on any more. WWE has done a rare spectacular job of being unpredictable at wrestlemania

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 02:08 AM) I'm positive that was Taker's decision but wow. Out of no where. Taker was -2500 on bovada. I nearly put my entire account on it too. Thank the Lord I didn't. Someone got rich of Brock.

HOLY f***

This match is horrendous

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 02:36 AM) Define hot. Good point.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 02:15 AM) Taker/Lesnar before Diva's wow. They always do that that when the divas have a WM match. You can't have two hot matches in a row. Crowd needs a break.

Terrible.

Cenas demeanor is certainly....odd tonight. Is he going to bring out the "monster" and turn heel?....nah

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 12:31 AM) Big Show...........................3 and 4 went out together Sheamus and Del Rio I meant the final 3 unannounced entrants. Cesaro and must have been two other jobbers

Ending redeemed that. Cool kofi spot too

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 01:15 AM) Danny Davis sighting ..................So much for surprise entrants in Battle Royal. Who were the final 3? Cesaro and...

Did not expect a squash

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 12:36 AM) Feel bad for whatever has to go on after this. You really feel bad for diva s*** show 2014?
