Post by A Dubya (El Hombre Muerto) on Apr 3, 2006 11:46:34 GMT -5
A Dubya's Wrestlemania thoughts: First, I have to say, I enjoyed the show. Secondly, I have to say that John Cena retaining the title makes me want to stop watching the WWE altogether (which will probablly never hapen :/). I am so sick and god damn tired of the superman Cena title run. It is completely ridiculous, and needs to end very, very soon. Even though I thoroughly liked Wrestlemania 22 as a whole, I have major doubts about the WWE's decision to keep the belt on that twat waffle. Moving on: I thought the Money in the bank 2 match was good, but not as good as the first one, perhaps. Shelton always makes that match to me. I loved the "diving board" senton he did, and RVD winning the match made me very happy, a definite high point for me during the night. I enjoyed the match between Rey, Kurt and Randy, but felt it was a little short. Dammit, Angle won that match twice and should have retained, but i was'nt upset to see Rey win the belt. Only thing is the fact that I am taller and weigh more than the HEAVYWEIGHT champion, and I'm just an average sized person. -The Mickie vs Trish match surprised the hell out of me. Actual good women's wrestling in the WWE?! Wow, what is this new thing? I am now officially a fan of the new Women's champion, and man did she look good in that skirt last night!! -Foley vs. Edge was sick and very intense, even to the point where I questioned if Mick Foley has any brain cells left rolling around in his head to still do this stuff. Didn't like him doing the job to Edge, but I would give it match of the night for sure. Foley is God! -The Boogeyman match and the Playboy match were both wastes of time in my view. Why couldn't we have had a Cruiserweight match, and the other tag team titles be on the line? I want my Mexicools, dammit. -Cena's entrance was incredibly ridiculous. It took up a lot of time, and was just too cheesy. The people who rode to the ring on the car didn't serve any purpose at all. People walking around the ring with fake tommyguns?! Oh Wow! WTF? At least with Triple H's and Rey's entrance it fit their gimmick/personality. -J.R. saying the main event was hip hop vs. old school really bothered me. While hip hop is a lifestyle, John Cena doesn't embody it by any means, and it's not just because he's a white guy from f'n West Newberry. All the excuses for John Cena getting booed in Chi-town seemed really pathetic to me, as J.R. put it, "he's not a bad wrestler, he's just unorthodox." Bull s***. I lost a lot of respect for Jim Ross last night for saying those things. Also, "he has to be a good wrestler, he is the WWE champion." So I guess that means that everybody that has held a championship belt is a bonafide Kurt Angle, huh(Sid, Big Show, Yoko, Diesel, JBL)? Gimme a break. Other final thoughts: All in all, with the exception of the main event outcome, I'd give this Wrestlemania a 7 out of 10. C+

It was a good show from what I saw, and I guess we have to grin and bear it with Cena's title reign, Rey's win was good and Angle didn't lose any momentum as he wasn't pinned.

I loved the show! But my one question is this? Mick Foley has made his money, conitnues to make his money and collects handsomely for wrestling a few gimmick matches a year and showing up as a commish, GM, ref type whatever. I question whether this guy has any brain cells left after seeing him do the thigns I saw him do last night. I guess him and Edge are gonna have an exploding landmine match at Backlash, perhaps? If they do, I question both men's brains

LOP picked a fine day to crash...but the other wrestling sites said that trish hurt her knee and caused the botched finish. Also was Flair's injury him getting his knee banged legit (like the replay made it look) overreacting cuz of age and impact and just shaking it off and coming back or was this the old bret hart RR94 work?
If trish is out for a while...that damages the womens division more than the match helped it as vince will think that the women cant put on a good match without injury (lita, ashley, now possibly trish?) not good. The one time i hope its a work.
Someone mentioned no crusierweights...apparently this was supposed to happen...london vs helms but Helms' nose is so bad that not even a protective mask would help so they had to call it off.
Suprised shane showed...I thought the match was changed from shane to vince because of concerns about his wife giving birth during that week.
I thought MNM needed to defend...apparently tho they are gonna be jobbing to London and Kendrick in the champ outta nowhere bit...then going on to RAW. Stinks...they dont belong there.

I had to come back to just throw my thoughts out there about this event which I was lucky enough to catch at a bar here in the city where I'm now living...stable internet should be up soon!
- Edge vs. Foley was my fave of the night. Great hardcore spots.
- RVD was a good MitB winning choice, but it won't go anywhere
- No Smackdown tag titles?
- Kane again wins the coolest use of fire award for the 3rd year straight
- Mysterio winning was a joke and a travesty, but he probably sold more merchandise than Angle and Orton combined this year, so I know what WWE Creative is up to.
- HHH's entrance was great. I've loved the guy since he went from DX (which I always and will forever despise) to the more badass/biker era. Him as this barbaric king of war thing he had going on rocked...the throne was awesome, the crown kicked ass, and the new song was amazing.
- Cena retaining is both a good and bad thing to me...The Bad: white suburban kids that claim to be from the streets will find rational in their thinking and continue to do so...hopefully this spurts a national holiday called "Cracker Beat Down Day". Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and I can have one too. The Good: Cena hasn't been given a lot of camera time lately...at least not as much as most champions. If it keeps him away from my eyes, let him keep that belt.

Gah, my head. I was pretty wasted when watching wrestlemania, and I just checked what I said on the boards. I don't take any of it back apart from threatening to stop watching raw if cena retains at backlash. F*** Cena.
But overall an excellent wrestlemania, and I don't regret ordering it. The only thing I really didn't like was Cena retaining, which I absolutely hated. Foley vs Edge was match of the night, though HHH vs Cena, Angle vs Rey vs Orton, MITB, Trish vs Mickie and vince vs hbk were all excellent. Benoit vs JBL was good, Boogey vs Booker and the playboy match were crap, tag match was ok.

Technically, the most hyped match for the show was Trish/Mickie. That should've been the main event, then. Womens match main event? Hmmm, whether it got the most hype or not (which in time it did but in exposure it didn't) nobody actually expects it to be last, so that is a logical exception

That's his view on it, and Kennedy could've made a backstage appearance, but no big deal really. If you think Bret is a "wanker" for not lying to anyone about being at Mania, then that's your opinion as well.

I was sad that Bret didn't show, but I can totally understand not wanting to be a part of a show wherein his getting screwed in real life is part of the plotline of one of the main events.
HHH/Cena would have been NOOOOTHING if the crowd weren't so into it. MVP of this year's Wrestlemania: CHICAGO FANS.

Bret is comfortable where he is. Just let it go. He gave his classy speech and even I was marking out to his composure at the HOF.

I was told our lovely Ms. James had a nip slip...someone let me know about documentation of such an occurance... I, along with the other 5 guys that I was watching WM with,noticed this too... however the 2 ladies that were with us didn't seem to notice and thought we needed to grow up. Great match ladies..... the right person won. Hardcore match rocked, and Foley came off looking like a monster even through the loss. Barbed wire socko was cool. It was like EC f'n W back again. MITB2 was a good match, and I was concerned that Flair had actually been injured..perhaps a broken hip. (still am actually) The costumed entrances drew a collective WTF followed by laughter.... especially Rey Rey.... it's not enough to dedicate your title match to a Gurrerro, but you feel the need to honor the Gooker as well?? over all a decent WM... not one of the greats, but not the worst by any means..... I wanted to give props here to who ever was ringside with the It's still real to me sign.... nice tribute to KongaDave. (I just know it had to be a crapper.....)

I LOVED what Shelton and Mickie did. Trish was great. Shawn Michaels was boring as usual, HHH STILL SUCKS, and Cena retaining? Just comedy.
