So far it is the only one I've really agreed with...it seems that so many reviews think that the only way to be "smart" is to crap all over everything. <br /><br />Overall, the matches were good for what they had to work with. Too much nonsense eating up time made the show seem VERY long. If this was a 3 hour show and Cole/Lawler would have been replaced by Bryan/Sheamus I think everyone would be singing a different tune. Thanks for the entertaining review!markoff5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668073114359758350.post-11815543554664070872011-04-03T21:05:25.852-07:002011-04-03T21:05:25.852-07:00Excellent review again X.

I'm pretty much in agreement with the match ratings/overall ratings for the most part.<br /><br />The one thing I would say is that I don't know if I'm giving Vinnie Mac too much credit, but I don't think he's stupid enough to have Rock go over tonight and NOT have Rock signed on for a match (to put over Cena) eventually. Plus, based on tonight, I also think he will end up wrestling Miz (and winning) at some point as well (Maybe Miz at Summerslam in LA, with Cena at Mania XXVIII in Miami).<br /><br />Finally, as much as I'd have loved to see the Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match, if there was one match to be cut, this had to be it. It was the least promoted match on the card, with the least amount of Airtime leading up to it. Plus it would be terrible for whoever lost for them to go out there and get only 3 or 4 minutes, which would have been the likely scenario.Stormtroopernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668073114359758350.post-55868339338460749032011-04-03T20:47:45.236-07:002011-04-03T20:47:45.236-07:00I probably enjoyed reading your review more than I...I probably enjoyed reading your review more than I would have the show if I had watched it. ;)<br /><br />Seriously though, great review as always, man. Seems like a solid show, about what I was personally expecting it to turn out as (outside of the Bryan match getting shafted, which I thought was absolute horseshit). <br /><br />It's just seemed like to me the past few weeks that this was a Wrestlemania that was going to build to next year's Wrestlemania, which could possibly be one of the greatest Wrestlemania's of all time when you look at WWE's current roster and the potential of The Rock having a regular spot. If they build everyone up properly throughout the next year, then we'll be in for something phenomenal for next year's show. So much so I might even order the damn show myself, lol.jmt225https://www.blogger.com/profile/08680972636463705198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668073114359758350.post-15682134641430415642011-04-03T20:45:45.949-07:002011-04-03T20:45:45.949-07:00I feel ya JGlass and I completely agree that the g...I feel ya JGlass and I completely agree that the general consensus on this show isn't really going to come in until we see how this affects the company's booking for the rest of the year. If we do infact get Cena vs. Rock, then I'd say the gamble was worth it for that money match, but if we don't, we have major problems because you just made your two top stars look like CHUMPS compared to a guy who won't even wrestle a match for you. <br /><br />I get the feeling I'm going to get alot of negative backlash for my positive review of the show, but you look at the star ratings at the end of the day and you can't argue a card with a few good ***+ matches and one great **** match. Plus it was an incredible event based on hype.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting JGlass as always.xfearbeforehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749591597217945002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668073114359758350.post-35941729279278315702011-04-03T20:41:40.116-07:002011-04-03T20:41:40.116-07:00You're more generous than I, X.

I was happy with the wrestling; Edge/Del Rio was really good, Cody/Rey was fantastic, Triple H/Undertaker was awesome, and I even got a kick out of Snooki hitting her moves. I was most surprised by how much I enjoyed Punk/Orton, which I would say was probably the third best match on the card. I think Punk did most of the heavy lifting, but Orton was by no means dead weight as he did his fair share of good stuff in this match.<br /><br />The real problem I have is that I'm unsure how the WWE moves forward from this. What's next for Punk and Orton? Edge and Del Rio? Where do these four go from here? Most importantly, how does John Cena recover from AAing The Rock and then getting Rock Bottomed by him? Can be maintain his super face status? And what's the payoff for having Rock screw Cena and then beating up Miz? Besides a few cheap pops and a happy ending to Mania, I don't see anything coming of it for months.<br /><br />It was a good show for tonight, but the smark in me worries about the future.JGlassnoreply@blogger.com
