It's been quite a common debate over the past something somethings. But now it's time to put some voices officially to paper and decide once and for all (for now) which sports entertainment contest left you more disappointed.
VOTE!

WM 27. Just about everything about that match after the bell rang for the first time was bad. It was fun cheering for Rock, but people were leaving the arena by the time Rock hit Cena with the Rock Bottom.

Miz and Cena just wasn't that bad IMO.
Triple H and Orton was horrific, both in the ring and in the storyline. They painted themselves in to a corner where the red hot character had to lose.

Oh, Triple H vs Randy Orton most definitely.
With the amount of build up that match had and how much hatred they showed for each other. The match should've been great.
But unfortunately, they needlessly added on the stipulation that if Triple H got DQ'ed, Orton would become champion.
Even with that crappy stipulation, they still should've went out there and not bore everyone to death.
Hell, the stipulation didn't even come into play.
If this is the guy who attacked my whole family. I wouldn't give a damn about being champion and I'd go out there and try to destroy him.
I knew Miz vs Cena wasn't gonna be any good.

Triple H/Randy Orton was just the wrong type of match for what the storyline demanded. With something that personal, I'd argue that a match more along the lines of No Holds Barred would have been better. The McMahons and Legacy should've gotten involved, considering their importance to the story as well. Hell, maybe even a Batista return. Anything but that dull and underwhelming match.
Miz/Cena was pretty bad as well, but the storyline going in wasn't nearly as intense and thus, it wasn't nearly as much of a letdown. I also didn't mind Rock's role, as his presence in that story was pretty substantial.

Miz/Cena was just an average match with a godawful false finish and then more of The Rock ruining it. Orton/H was an awful match with the wrong ending that just dragged endlessly. Orton/H was also made to look worse because of the match that came just before it.

Hunter and Orton. Only just. The reason it beats out Cena and Miz is because the obvious wrong guy went over. I could belive Miz winning with Rock's interference. Orton should have beaten HHH clean in the middle of the ring to give him a huge rub to cap off his red hot streak.

Cena / Miz was okay, though definitely not the best match the two guys have had and it was hurt by the fact everyone was just waiting for Rock to show up. Plus the damn count-out just killed it. Triple H / Orton though only had one cool thing and that was Orton hitting the RKO right at the start of the match.

miz/cena.
Orton/hhh was anticlimactic, but Cena/miz just felt liked an overbooked rushed, Raw main event

Orton/H.
Orton was just about as hot as you can possibly be....then they had Triple H own him at Mania. No positives came out of that match. At least with Miz/Cena they built a new star instead of cutting the legs out from another one.

The irony is that I don't think the wrong guy went over at all with Orton/HHH. After all the heinous things Orton had done he almost HAD to lose that match. The booking was hideous there though and thus gets the vote.
In some ways I do wonder what the point of the finish is in both matches. Miz retaining meant absolutely nothing in the long run since he jobbed the next month and got buried soon after. It was literally nothing but a vehicle to set up Cena/Rock. And Orton simply got the belt the next month anyway, so it was basically a situation of not putting the heel over at WM.

Miz/Cena since it was nothing but, filler until Rock appeared.

It's probably not "cool" to point this out, but Cena/Edge/Big Show was actually amazing. That was the match where Cena lifted both Edge and Big Show for the AA at the same time, I'm pretty sure the live crowd was pretty wowed by that even if CENA SUX!! (and I say that as a non-member of the Cenation). |

I say HHH/Orton just because they didn't seem to get a damn thing right in that match. Bizarre beginning, boring middle, and the wrong guy went over. Not to mention that it should have been a knock down drag out brawl but ended up being a typical match. Their last man standing match a few months later on the commercial free RAW was much much better.
I guess most of those arguments could be made about Cena/Miz including them having a better match on Raw a couple months later, but it basically boils down to nobody having high expectations for Cena/Miz to begin with.

Triple H/Orton.
I was there live and still slept on it. I think I fell asleep within the first 10 minutes.

But my main point is that it didn't have any trouble keeping the crowd awake after Undertaker/HBK. So in that regard, the Orton/HHH match doesn't have a crutch to stand on when people come in and claim the audeince was burnt out by it. Thus you can only judge the mathc and the reactions it recieves on the actual match itself, and nothing surrounding it. |

At the very least, Orton/HHH was about Orton and Triple H. I say Cena/Miz was worse, because it felt like filler for the Rock; he was the real main event, not the top guy in the company, and not the WWE champion, or the match betwixt them. It was all about the Rock, and that made the match (not even including the build) almost irrelevant.
