Off all the card this one had zero build-up to it. In fact Sheamus was on a losing streak. Just because they can work a match, it doesn't mean that they should. They lacked the build-up.
It was a match I was looking forward to seeing. The same cannot be said for any other match on the card except Edge & Alberto.
So let me see.. You would actually make an heel v. heel matchup at WrestleMania? And please tell me why Husky Harris/Mason Ryan and McGillicutty deserved to be at "The Grandest Stage of Them All" in detriment of others like Kofi Kingston, Kane, Big Show and Santino Marella.
They were involved with The Nexus storyline, which deserved better than the ending it got, and yes they deserved to be a part of Wrestlemania. Kofi, Big Show, Kane, and Santino could all have been part of a dark match instead.
So if the match was second in line, you would have loved it. Is that what you are saying?
No. I disliked that Alberto won what SHOULD have been a ticket to main event Wrestlemania, him winning an opportunity to LOSE the OPENING match at Wrestlemania is bogus. Had the match gone on second that would not have been as big of a deal. Midcarders should open the show, not the world title.
This is BS, this rivalry was easily the 3rd best in the card. It had a four month build, a new Cody Rhodes persona that people actually cared about. He wasn't interested lol. The match was very good. It defined Rhodes career, so give me a break.
That match didn't define his career, you have no idea what you're talking about. Rhodes winning the Intercontinental Championship did. I didn't like the disfigured persona of Rhodes and have never liked Rey, so what does that mean? I was not interested in the feud, let alone the match. Rhodes facing Ted in a Legacy rematch would have been better.
The only problem with that was the time they took, but I was fine with it because you know, Michael Cole was pretty over at the time. Jerry Lawler was actually screwed by him. Jack Swagger was involved in it and it looked like he was getting his career back on track again. The whole segment with Jack Swagger & Booker T and Stone Cold was actually very good and entertaining so I really don't get it. It had an incredible build to it, but obviously they just had to much time that could have been used on other match. But entertainment value counts.
That doesn't change the fact that they wasted a match spot on ANNOUNCERS. Jack Swagger should have been representing Cole in the match against a representative of Lawler's. That would have been infinitely better. An incredible build? Were you even watching the same show as everyone else? Good grief. I won't even start on the awful feud that lasted for months AFTER the Wrestlemania match.
Still what? It was a classic bout. They gave it all in the ring, and they actually had **** 3/4 rating from Meltzer. Two legends that returned for that particularly match that probably ended in the best hell in a cell in WWE history this year. The whole Undertaker beatdown was awesome, awesome story told in the ring. Just this match puts WrestleMania 27 way up.
If you read my post you would have noticed the part where I said that Taker VS Trips 2 was the match that saved the show. I didn't want to see it going IN to the show. The match was fine and I did enjoy it, especially Trips' entrance.
What can we do? Since WWE actually started to get mainstream media attention that celebrities are involved in it, and almost every wrestlemania had one of these.
They could, oh I don't know, have had her be the guest ref in a divas match or something. Divas matches are usually bad but it would have been better than a Snooki match. Morrison and Ziggler sure deserved better and I bet Trish is ashamed to admit she was part of it.
So you and your wife are just haters for the sake of it. The Miz while WWE Champion never lost viewers in WWE Programming, in fact a segment with only him that was called "MizTory" actually gained over one million viewers, so please tell me that Miz is crap. The match had The Rock's involvement, that everybody wanted to see. It was history in the making, because first Cena lost for the first time ever in singles competition at WrestleMania, in this case against The Miz, and two, everybody wanted to know if Rock would screw Cena and he did. Re-watch the PPV and the build-up to it because that what you're saying is complete bullshit. EVERY MATCH HAD GOOD BUILDS SO IT MADE THE PPV ENTERTAINING. If you and your wife want to see wrestling just for the sake of it I recommend Ring of Honor or NJPW, AJPW, NOAH.
You are so full of crap. I'm now fully convinced you didn't read my post at all. First of all, I don't hate the Miz for the sake of it. My wife finds him annoying from when her brothers watched The Real World and she recognized him as being annoying on there, an argument can be made in her case. I gave the guy a chance but never felt he should have been champion. He did defeat Cena and I do defend him on occassion now, but from a business perspective. I do not want WWE to have wasted time in building him up for that win to be all for nothing. I still don't think he's championship material, he's not believable in the role.
If you have the time to sit and do research on how many viewers that Raw got/lost while Miz was champion, then I feel sorry for you. Go outside, find something enjoyable to do. Others like myself are a little too tied up with something called real life, you know, things like going to work and making sure your family is in good condition financially. I never said Miz was crap, I said he's not believable as champion. Read my post if you are going to debate me and make me take up precious time to come put forth effort into a fucking spam friendly area's post. I have better things to do, like moderating my section or spending time with my wife or doing my job.
Miz VS Cena was a match I had absolutely NO desire to see, and this is coming from a CENA MARK! The match was only interesting for the Rock's involvement, and other than Miz's intro video package (which was nicely done) it sucked. Just like Wrestlemania 27 in its entirety other than ONE match. Last time I checked, that qualifies you for bottom tier quality. I would NEVER put myself through the torture of watching the build for that event again, it was quite honestly THE single worst build to a Wrestlemania that I have ever seen.
That's your point of view and if you actually bought the PPV and you still watched WWE Programming after that I have to highlight one word - HYPOCRISY
SERIOUSLY!?
I have been watching WWE for longer than you have probably been alive. I began watching before there even was a Monday Night Raw. I'm 26 years old and have been a wrestling fan for 20+ of said years. It's going to take a little more than a crappy Wrestlemania to get me to stop watching. I've stated numerous times that I will keep watching despite disagreeing with the booking of either WWE or TNA. They don't care if random fans on a forum are going to quit watching, therefore I'm not going to say stupid things like "Oh, Miz better not beat Cena or else I QUIT watching WWE!". Yes, I'm sure Vince and Dixie both have people spyin on us and say to themselves oh look one of Wrestlezone Forum's mods is going to quit watching our product because of a booking decision we made, we better reverse that decision so that one fan out of millions is going to be happy. They don't care what we think. I watch because I have for ages and I still enjoy the product despite not agreeing with all of their decisions.
I hated Wrestlemania 27, and I kept watching. That doesn't make me a hypocrite. It makes me a FAN. I will remain a fan for very likely the rest of my life. As a fan I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are entitled to yours. I happen to think Wrestlemania 27 was the 3rd worst show in the history of the brand. If you disagree with me, too bad. Deal with it.
Trish with Snooki in her corner facing Michelle McCool with Layla in her corner, as well as Morrison and Ziggler getting their own match, would have been far better. If you disagree with that, then I don't even know what to say.
