The whole PPV was kinda meh.Not bad but not something exceptional.Last year,we got matches to remember for a long time.This year just fell flat.I'll rate the matches.
1.Shield vs Team super:***1/4
2.Ryback vs Mark Henry:*3/4
3.Jericho vs Fandango:**
4.Team Hell No vs Ziggler and Big E:**3/4
5.WHC match:***
6.Punk vs Undertaker:****
7.Lesnar vs HHH:****1/4
8.WWE Title Match-Rock vs Cena II:**3/4
Now,the main event was the worst in years at WM.It was just awkward.Nothing to remember,just poor.Bad build and a bad match.
It was a fairly solid but unspectacular PPV. It was said, this would have been fine for a random PPV like Over the Limit or Night of Champions, but this is Wrestlemania...in NY/NJ no less.
Outside of Ryback/Henry, which still has me scratching my head, it was a predictable card, which isn't always a bad thing, but it did no favors tonight.
The Shield/Big Irish Snake match was a good opener. The Shield has been booked well and are being buit as well as anyone in recent memory.
I enjoyed Del Rio/Swagger while it lasted. I felt like they could have given it at least five more minutes. Just as soon as it picked up, it was over
Taker/Punk was good, but Taker is clearly showing his age. Punk countering Old School and hitting it himself, and kicking out of the folded arms Tombstone pin were cool moments, and when Punk hit Taker with the urn the 6 year old in my came to the surface. Considering they had all of about 4 weeks to build this matchm they did fine.
Brock/Trips was good as well, but the crowd gave few shits. Plus Brock is 1-2 since his return. Zack Ryder has as many PPV wins in the last twelve months as Brock. I don't think people see Brock as big a deal as WWE sees him, and I think they need to give him some wins to be viewed as credible.
Rock/Cena had a crazy slow build, and when the action did pick up they didn't do anything special. It was a fine match, but you expect more out of a Mania main event. Much like Del Rio/Swagger earlier in the night, it felt like it ended as soon as it got good.
Overall the show had nothing wrong with it, but for a Mania card I was left wanting more. The smark in me knows RAW tomorrow will likely be one long session of ******io on Cena, which would be fine if the show tonight was better, but after such an average Mania I can't get too excited about the post Mania RAW.
