Really surprised at all the positive comments for Undertaker vs triple h, I thought it was absolute garbage. Hhh didn't look like he had ring rust, but as someone who has watched taker for the past 15 years, he's got 20-0, and needs to realise he can't go anymore. The match just dragged on at a pace where it barely felt like the wheels were moving. Also found the moment between the three on the stage cringe worthy, curtain call happened, we don't need to see them recreating what was a historic moment of the past.

Rock Cena was surprisingly short for a main event, I loved the rock back in the day but it made no sense what so ever for him to pin cena clean, just bury the top star at the biggest show of the year.

In spite of that rant I liked wrestle mania, but the big matches didn't deliver for me.

Hopefully, if the Brock rumours are true, it'll be tonight. Seem to remember it's been 10 years since he made his debut.

imo the PG era is sort of killing the old school way, especially the brutality of a HIAC match. the 6 way HIAC in 2000 was massive, but then again nothing can beat the taker mankind one in 98

[Sparticus]

How else would you book a PG era HIAC though?

I thought it started off poor, Too much offense from Taker but when the weapons came out it really delivered, Told a great story.

Not sure how the match will be on multiple viewings though, It's always more intense watching it live for the first time.

Quite enjoyed that, the HHH vs Undertaker and CM Punk vs Jericho being the highlights for me.

Enjoyed HHH/Taker. LOVED the hugging shit at the end! And the Sweet Chin/Pedigree bit was fantastic. Shawn hammed it up perfectly too! Really well done drama.

I suppose your level of enjoyment may have a bit to do with how old you are and how much of their careers you've seen.

Rock/Cena. Shite. Why oh why they'd have the Rock winning is beyond me! Makes Cena look weak and now the Rock is heading for the hills and Cena left in WWE carrying a limp dick around. Really weird decision. Rock didn't really even get him over. Baffling.

And what happened in the Sheamus/Bryan match? Something is up there. Injury? Drug test?

Reports online saying that the squash was the planned outcome all along.

[When Jokers Attack]

Why? Squash matches at Wrestlemania?

[Gre]

Oh, I forgot my favourite moment from last night - Charles Robinson run-in during the HIAC. It was like Edge-Taker all over

[strummer77]

Why? Squash matches at Wrestlemania?

[Gre]

So they can show Flo Rida...

[Gre]

I love being in between jobs. One of the best Raws I've ever seen. If you possibly can, avoid spoilers and watch it. The crowd was just awesome, there was a really good title match, great ending...

[When Jokers Attack]

Holy shit! What a crowd and what an ending.

As Gre said, Avoid spoilers and just watch it.

[Lithium05]

Some twat on my Facebook spoilt it for me, so I've just checked it out on YouTube... Holy shit indeed!

[lharris92]

no words need to be said about it.

[Chiefski]

Si! Si! Si! Awesome crowd, Awesome Raw

[luckysalt]

Have I been in here since Mania? Don't think so...

Ive now watched the Majority of Mania twice. Watched it all live except for Cena v Rock, the time it took the match to start I gave up and went to sleep.

I watched it again yesterday with my lad.

Taker v HHH was a classic, having seen it twice it was every bit as good the second time around, but I was glued, totally glued throughout live, I can't say what hasn't been said, great story, drama, Shawn added greatly to the match, it was just perfect. Often I watch these things and think why did they do that, Id have booked it like this, but that match was just perfect.

Punk v Jericho was very good, but was lacking slightly, think if they have a match at Extreme Rules it will be better.

Team match was good except it felt like a lot of the members did fuck all. Booker did most of the work for Smackdown, hated the ending, Ryder is doing my head in with this Eve storyline now, its killing him, Ziggler is without a shadow of a doubt THE best talent on the roster.

Show - Rhodes was what I expected, solid stuff.

Divas match exceeded my expections but I couldn't care less about it, nobody does, should have been Phoenix v Kelly, Kelly has seriously upped her game, hope these two have a match at ER.

Rock v Cena was boring as fuck, I knew it would be dreadful, and it was. They're too similar to work well together.

Bryan v Sheamus was a travesty, they got bumped from the whole card last year in their match and this year a few seconds, Bryan is CRAZY over, Sheamus got boos at start of match. Hard to see where things will go from here, but I think Sheamus will have a long reign and maybe trade the title with Bryan a bit and Ziggler might get traded to Smackdown and win the strap again

RAW.

Well A Train looks fucking great. Still not sure on the gimmick but he went over fantastic, hope to see more of it.

Fuck knows whats happening with Clay, that bollocks at Mania and then comes out to save Santino, that was a decent little match btw.

Henry - Punk solid match, Henry is so established as a main eventer now, hope he doesn't get bumped down the card

and Here Comes The Pain. Just brilliant, looking forward to the next year!

is Wrestlemania in NY next year? if so anyone up for a trip! .... none of my mates have money so pointless persuading them

[Lithium05]

I would like to predict now that The Rock will be in the Royal Rumble. That is all.

[luckysalt]

I predict Lesnar wins the title within 3 months and loses it to The Rock at Summerslam, 10 years on from when Rock lost it to Brock at Summerslam

After watching D Bryan lose in 18 seconds, I felt so dissapointed that I was not going to continue watch the show.

It was probably one of worst bookings ever IN WM, considering D Bryan was one of the most over wrestlers. Even on RAw the following day the crowd spend the whole show chanting YES! YES! YES!

While I like Shemus he got none heat as a champ at the moment.

Taker vs HHH was great imo better then last year, but as much as I love the taker I think he should retire after this match or maybe just one last match next year, because his body can't go much longer.

Overall a good mania, but the timing could have been better! obviously the world title match should at least been given 15 mins and also after such hype the tag match was quite short,.

Meanwhile there was the pointless performance by brodus and also the intro's of cena/rock which ate up about 30 mins of the show
