Biggest Dissapointment of WM26?

[Moda B Turki]

in my opinion: there was some kind of dispointment moments, I think MITB Should have got longer time so they could push some superstars .. i mean most of the superstars and especially Shelto benjeman took just 2 impacts and then BOOM in the floor for the rest of the match .. wtf .. they should have got more time ...

plus .. tag titles in almot 4-5 mins .. and ending in that way .. i really wanted Morrison and Truth to win .. they're doin a great job .. and punk vs Rey ending so fast ... and also Edge not winning the WHC .. i really like this event but it had alot of wrong Booking ...

btw .. dont u think Cena vs batsita had to get much longer time than it did ? also the same thing for Jericho vs Edge ... it was kinda of inhurry PPV ..

and i also didnt like that kinda of Crowd it was kinda excited in the biggining .. then they umm.. slowing down ... but i give this PPV 4/5

The tag match was bad, I'll give you that. But that's because I fucking hate that Knockout Punch finisher.

MITB was just fine. Sorry Benjamin didn't do his one big jump a year, but that shouldn't discount the entire match. Swagger winning the match was an excellent surprise. If it was Christian everyone (but Xfear) would be saying "Wah, so predictable." They surprise you, and now it's "Wah, Swagger."

HHH/Sheamus was not that bad, especially considering Sheamus is still a damn rookie. Sheamus did just fine.

Mysterio/Punk is the major disappointment for me, it should have been longer. They did just fine with the time they had as well.

Jericho/Edge wasn't their best, but it was still a very good match.

Hart/McMahon was exactly what was going to happen. Hart can't take any bumps guys. As in, HART IS A STROKE SURVIVOR. For anyone complaining about Hart not "taking enough bumps," do you not realize that Hart's last stroke was from rolling off of his bike into some soft grass? This match could have set off another stroke if they didn't work it like they did. It was just fine, and it cleaned up the loss ends of the Screwjob. No more "McMahon sux, Screwjob!!!" Everything is settled.

Cena/Batista was a great match. I would like to see where anyone had a problem with that match. It had the chain wrestling for you ROHbots (lulz, Lord Sidious) and it had the story for the story-tellers. This was a wrestling clinic, or at least what these two men could put forward as a wrestling clinic.

Taker/HBK was excellent. I knew from reading backstage reports and what not that HBK was going to retire. That meant, of course, that he was going to lose yesterday. However, that match had me thinking that HBK might actually win. I knew in my mind that HBK was done, but HBK and Taker made me believe that it might not be so clear cut.

The only real disappointment of the night? The tag match and the time given to Punk/Mysterio. But when those are your only real concerns, you put forward a truly great Wrestlemania.

I thought there were a couple of dissapointments, one being that punk and mysterio were not given enough time in there match. I thought there match was great and could have stolen the show but they were only given like 7 minutes but that is not what really bothered me about Mania this year.

The biggest dissapointmen of the night has to be the announce team and the poor and awful commentating. I cant believe more people have mentioned how bad the announce team was. I mean it was Wrestlemania,the biggest ppv of the year, and they didnt have JR call any of the matches?! WTF?! Instead, we were forced to listen to cole, king, and striker for 4 hours. Those guys had tons of mistakes and didnt call one good match. Striker got soo annoying that i thought about turning the volume down and cole cant call a match to save his life. King is not the same if he is not with JR.

A lot of people are talking about how boring and uninteresting the matches were, and I do agree the crowd sucked which probably took some of the action and excitement away, but I think it seemed boring and uninteresting because of the poor, brutal comentary. It took away from all of the matches. I thought most of the matches were good and solid with the exception of the tag match (squash and too short) the divas match, and the hart mcmahon match. (honestly though what were you expecting from that match...I knew it wasnt gonna be anything special and it was there to basically get its job done in giving bret his wrestlemania moment and put a much needed end to their long feud.)

If JR was doing the commentary, I think it would have been a much more exciting and solid show. It would have added to all the matches. No one can call a match better than JR. He gives you that element of excitement and main event feel to any match. Thats the one thing Wrestlemania was missing this year. He would have been able to get you into and involved with the drama of the matches, something cole has never been able to do.

For instance, Taker Michales 1 last year was awesome. This year, the match itself was probably slightly better than last years but without JR at the announce table it did not really seem that way which is why I would say last years match was better. It really took away the drama the match had. Do you remember JR's commentary from the match last year? It was awesome, he had some great and memorable lines; "chokeslams, last rides, tombstones...and kick out, and a kick out, and a kick out." We didnt get that this year and it would have added so much to that match as well as all the matches. I mean at the end of the Taker Michaels match the announcers couldnt even sell the drama of michaels looking up at Undertaker pretty much realizing that it was over. And after the match they couldnt even give hbk the propper send off he deserved. It was his last freakin match and the end of the career of the greatest in ring preformer the wwe has ever seen for god sakes. As Wrestlemania came to an end all the king could think to say was "Shawn its over, goodbye...and then he subtlety whispered we will miss you. It was crap. JR should have been there to do hbk justice. 2 of the all time greats main evented mania and they couldnt even let JR at least call that match. It was a real shame and definitely the biggest dissapointment of the night for me.

 

[pun2003hh]

I can't believe that this is even an argument. The Hart/McMahon fiasco killed what would have been a solid WrestleMania. This match confused and bored the crowd to the point that it completely took the crowd out of the World title match and wouldn't regain heat until midway through the Batista-Cena main event (which I can not believe actually saved the event and got the crowd hot for the HBK/Taker match).

And for those that say Hart is a stroke survivor, I say great for him to have recovered from such an ailment, but he should have never been in a match in the first place. The same purpose would have been fulfilled had they served as cornermen in the Batista/Cena match, except it would have yielded a better result and would have freed up 20 minutes that possibly could have gone to the Mysterio/Punk and/or Unified Tag Title match.

This is how I feel, even being a Bret fan. I am glad Bret participated in a match...I knew he would be limited, and i knew that he couldnt do some of his old stuff because of his health, but I had NO IDEA that he was in that rough of shape. People here tell me now that Bret's condition wouldn't allow him to take any moves at all, not even punches...I had no idea of that.

It's like when Shawn came back against Triple H, it was a "street fight", and we knew it was to protect HBK since he couldn't go at 100%, but he still did some vintage HBK stuff. I honestly thought Bret's match would be the same...

 

[Window Licker 101]

Yes I was expecting him of all people to enlighten money in the bank and provide it with a bit more spots than it contained. I think out of all the years that MITB was the worst IMO.

I also thought the Rey/Punk match being cut short was a disappointment. I had that built up as a potential match of the night. Everything was flowing swell with both Punk and Mysetrio getting in moves then all of a sudden the striaghtedge society get involved and Punk ends up losing. Not the way it should have ended. But if they do (and I believe they will) continue this feud I see it boiling down to a potential "Mask vs Hair" match. Oh the next PPV is extreme rules who knows

 

[indyfan8]

I thought WM was good, but kinda goofy all in all. Like, Swagger winning MITB ??? HHH getting an unnecessary win, vickis frog splash, all of bret hart vs mcmahon (what kind of story were they tellin), Edge's story being how he's gonna spear him and they never did it during the match.. Just goofy I guess..

 

[KBUnitz]

I really think WM26 overall was a big disappointment pretty much from the start.

From the opening pyro, comon, that was weak. Compared to I think WM23 or 24, this pyro is really a huge disappointment. Comon, like Edge's Pyro after he cashed in MITB on 'Taker was bigger.

Match 1: R-Truth falls outside the ring, dies, punch, 3 minutes of jobbing...

Match 2: Randy Orton's match was pretty good in general, especially after the first match. But we all knew the result.

Match 3: MITB, not bad, not great though. Where was Shelton Benjamin and Kofi Kingston? At least Kingston was on "stilts". Wished it was a little longer.

Match 4: Triple H yet wins another match that's not relevant...in comparison, this 13 minute match should've been the opener and this match should be 3 minutes.

Match 5: Rey Mysterio wins, no surprise, pretty good match. Only a few botches, well fought match.

Match 6: Battle of the Seniors, ok this match was probably the most disappointing match I've seen since The Great Khali winning the WHC. This match should've never taken place, awful. One highlight, Hart Dynasty got some popularity.

Match 7: Probably my favourite of the night, 2 Canadians, even though Jericho's born in New York, but nontheless, well fought, good 15 minutes, and the match result wasn't expected. Too bad Swagger cashed in 2 nights after

Match 8: WTF, enough said.
(Wait) No I have to talk about it. What's up with that hog splash, Botchamania. I'm surprised Vickie didn't cause the ring to collapse like Lesnar & Show. And the sad thing, this match lasted longer than the opener, not by much, but still, and deep into the card too. :')

Match 9: 5, pardon me, 6 moves of doom wins the WWE Championship once again! Don't know if many people know this, but Cena now has 9 world championships under his belt! If this continues on, he's on route for way more than 16. But decent match.

Match 10: RIP Undertaker's Stre-wait what, he won again?!?! No ****! Can't be surprised by that anymore. Great match, WM25 was better in my opinion, but still amazing match. Still disappointed that Shawn Michaels is gone, but don't know if he's actually gone though. We'll find out by September cause I can't see many people watching this company much longer, they'll need Shawn to come back. Now, will someone please end the streak?

Overall, in my opinion, every WM since WM 23 has gotten more boring and more expensive to watch, one example, WM 23 Cena drives through a pane of glass, then a live performance, then something like 100 Cena statues, now a gun show, no, not even a gun show, can't describe what that was...7.1/10 for a PPV, 4.9/10 for WM.

 

[luis_is_king]

I thought this Wrestlemania was good, not bad but not great either. As for the biggest disappointment, like I said in my earlier post the time given for the tag team championship match and the CM punk vs Mysterio match got me down. As for the Hart-McMahon match an individual must be a fucking ****** to expect a good match here or might not be an avid follower of the WWE. Bret Hart was a stroke victim, what should we expect? Quite frankly I expected that people here would blast this match but if anyone is to blame it is yourselves for actually hoping that this would be a decent match. I expected it to be a bad match and I am not at all blasting that match because of the circumstances: Hart's condition, Vince's condition and even in his "prime" Vince needed someone to carry him in a match.
If one poster would say "Then if that's the case, why bother putting Hart in the card at all?" well we don't know maybe he just wanted to give it a try or that was the agreement in the contract: 1 match and appearances on RAW.
I know that we all have different opinions but blasting Bret Hart and Vince because of their match is totally out of place.

 

[Bilawal]

The title matches were TOOO short, Needed pace and I would have sacrificed some of the midcard bullshit matches like the Tag Team one and the Divas match. and the Vince McMahon shit. Also Swagger not cashing in on the night.

 

[NXTrookie2013]

Shelton Benjamin not doing any sick spot was a bit disapointing but I mean he is in money in the bank every year and really deserves a push and if wwe is just going to keep him down he shouldn't have to risk his body. For me the biggest disapointment of money in the bank was the winner and not enough high flying spots, but still a great match.

I think the tag team title match could have been longer, it was pretty good for the time given but if it was longer it could have been a little beter.

CM Punk vs Rey Mesterio also could have gotten a little more time but i wasn't expecting that match to get much time, but still a great match

Other then what i just said, This years wrestlemania was amazing, one of the best I've seen in a while.

 

[Lionheart_Y2J_fan.]

ok my biggest disappointment at wrestlemania 26 was definately the hart vs. mcmahon match. i already knew from the get-go that this was gonna be stupid and just there for ratings. but they could of at least tried to have some excitement! The whole entire match was bret beating up vince with a crowbar and the hart dynasty attacking vince. THEY COULD OF JUST DONE THAT IN A PROMO!!!! but actually if u think about it...the whole match was a freakin' promo. vince came out and started rambling about bret being screwed by his family turning on him then later bret told vince he was being double-crossed, c'mon i think all the 72,000 people there in phoenix and everyone around the world knew that was gonna happen!. and by the way i thought it was a little weird how vince said bret needed a "wrestlemania screwing". and then it just turned into a snooze-fest. it was just ridiculous. on the other hand i'd rate WM26 with 3 stars out of 5

 

[Loose Cannon]

Now Wrestlemania 26 was an outstanding pay per view, but there is always that one person or match in particular that let you down.

In my mind it was Shelton Benjamin's poor performance in the Money In The Bank. Yes there were 10 guys in the match, but Benjamin has been in that match for 5 years in a row and has always been phenomenal.

But tonight, I forgot he was even in the match. You saw him in the beginning and then after that he dissappeared.

What was the biggest letdown or dissapointment for you?

Yes, I also find it odd that all the participants are simulanously hurt at the same time for the sam length, and remain outside the ring for what seems for ever. Im like.....Where the ef is _____________ at?

 

[Mr. Dejan]

My Biggest disappointment would be Swagger taking so long to un-hook the briefcase. I don't know whether he was excited about the push he was about to get or he just couldn't unhook it but taking that long kinda gave made everybody else in that match look weak.

Benjamin was also another disappointment for me. Every year he's been in the MITB he's done been the highlight but this year, I kinda forgot he was even in there.

 

[Texas Tornado]

I've been a Bret fan for a long time and I have to say that this match was disappointing. Obviously due to Bret's stroke, I knew from the beginning that it wasnt going to be a slugfest but at least Vince could've taken some shots. I wanted Bret to beat Vince without the crowbar which looked phony.

 

[The Champ]

Bret/Vince was not only the biggest, but really the only disappointment of this Mania aside from certain matches not getting as much time as I would have hoped. Bret's physical issues are of course the main reason for this, but it just wasn't entertaining to me and I was sitting on my couch waiting for Bret to lock in the Sharpshooter so that the show could continue. I really wasn't interested in all of the over the top bashing of Vince with the pipe and stuff. And if Bret/Vince was five minutes shorter, that's five more minutes that could have gone to Cena and Batista who got majorly shafted that night.

 

[I Suck Ass]

R Truth and Morrison was an awful match. I expected to see a decent opener. Instead, I got a really crappy match. They didn't seem ready for the match either.

Another dissapointment for me is the MitB match. Swagger was trying to grab the briefcase for about 30 seconds and no one stopped him. Way too obvious that he was supposed to win.

 

[elias789]

I thought the biggest dissapointment was either shawn losing since shawn was my favorite wrestler of all time and i really hated to see him go, or how boring the bret hart match was. I mean come on! It is not entertaining to watch a sixty year old beating up another sixty year old who happens to be crying with a chair and a belt, while surrounded by other 60 years and a mediocre tag team. What they should have done is idk maybe do what they did at wm23 and have someone represent them in a match. They could have had drew mcintyre represent mcmahon since he picked drew to be the chosen one and maybe have someone else like christian represent hart since they are both canadian. That way u can have an 8 man mitb and actually have every one active instead of keeping evan and shelton hidden in the whole match.

 

[RKGO2SLEEP]

pretty simple. the hart-mcmahon match felt like it went on for 1 hour, it was so boring. but the match itself isnt my biggest dissapointment. the fact that the match got so much time and rey-punk got 6 minutes while the tag match got 3. and i think the hart-mcmahon match went on too late, they killed the crowd for the main events! they shudve reversed roles. hart-mcmahon in a 6 minute slugfest so both guys can go all out but not get too tired in 6 minutes, while punk-rey couldve gottten all that time and heated up the fans for the main events.

 

[Sully]

In my opinion, it was Rey Mysterio going over on Punk. Cm Punk is still trying to fully develop his heel personality, and Mysterio getting a win over Punk at the grandest stage of em all...didn't help, plus, the match was too short! The whole Cm Punk vs Rey feud going into Wrestlemania didn't have enough story, or background for a Wrestlemania worth match, which is why it was a big disappointment to me.

 

[Sydney Aradi]

to me the biggest disappointment of Wrestlemania 26 was the boring Vince McMahon & Bret Hart match. It felt like an hour long. It should've been a 7 minute brawl but WWE just had to drag it out.

 

[Silent~Screamer]

I'd have to say the overall show. After what I saw the previously year I expected much more out of WM 26. But this PG-Era is taking a toll on the WWE.

 

[Tanned Sheamus 2.0]

For me, it was the fans......I thought the entire atmosphere in Phoenix was abysmal at best! If I was Vince, I wouldn't look at returning to that stadium again.....there was little to no excitement for any of the matches. The most intense the fans got was during the HBK/Taker match, and a little bit when Batista/Cena were trading blows during their match. Otherwise, this years' event was decent for the most part. I have to admit, I had higher expectations for Bret/Vince, but understand that Bret may or may not have been able to do more....he was just staying safe so it's fine with me...just cool to see him in the ring one last time!

Damn right! The crowd was terrible. The only real pop was for Taker/HBK, other than that the pops were about as big as a tag team match on the new version of ECW

 

[The Raven's Epitaph]

For me, Wrestlemania 26 wasn't a great one. Here's why:

Wrestlemania 26 felt rushed. Yeah it was the biggest event of the year and it's built up all year round, but it felt rushed to me. - Many people will probably disagree with me, but eh. I feel it needs to be said. -

Showmiz vs. John Morrison and R-Truth
This match was incredibly rushed. I doubt it even lasted 10 minutes, nevermind 5. This could of been a great Tag Team match taking into account what amazing technical ability was actually in the match. I mean come on, The Miz, John Morrison AND R-Truth? It's like Technical Christmas. Sadly, it was rushed and ended quite abrubtly. Nevertheless...I loved seeing The Miz with all that gold.

Bret Hart vs. Mr. McMahon.
This match could have also been a great one. But boy, did it bore me. As usual, Vince trash talks just because he's the Chairman of WWE, but when it gets down to the real business he cowers away and gets his ass handed to him. Quite terribly aswell if you ask me. The Hart's surrounded the ring whilst Bret repeatedly hit Vince with a crowbar about 20 times - and even that took up 5 minutes. - It was such a boring match and it could of been so much better.

Edge vs. Chris Jericho
Finally, the World Heavyweight Championship match that had been built up since the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. Don't get me wrong, it was a great match but seeing Edge lose after coming back after his torn achilles tendon and making an amazing return at the Royal Rumble just really DID NOT do it for me. Edge should have become the 10 time World Champion right there and solidified himself into Wrestlemania history, but Chris Jericho came out victorious. It was quite a shame to see Edge lose - for me anyway. -

So, yeah that's about it for my "Wrestlemania 26 dissapointments." Feel free to argue against my opinions or whatever you wish.

 

[darqknyt]

The crowd were sitting on their hands most of the time, but I do think the PPV was too long.Biggest disappointment was Bret vs. Vince.I understand the why it had to happen that way.From a reality stand point,Bret couldn't get roughed up in anyway 'cause of health issues,from a kayfabe standpoint; Vince was meant to "pay" for what he did in Montreal.But the match went on for too long it began to look like a snuff-film.
Money In Th eBank was over booked.Too ,many superstars meant that there was little room for guys to have real ring time.That's why we barely noticed Shelton Benjamin and MVP.

HHH vs. Sheamus was one of my favourite matches.The reason some people are hating on it is because Sheamus isnt as big a star as HHH just yet.
