IGN called it Wrestle MEHnia  I honestly, I'm not just saying this cause the Funkadactyls match was fucked over and cause Cena ended up winning, but I honestly think that was the worst Wrestlemania I've ever watched. Worse than 25. It just wasn't good, none of the matches seemed like Wrestlemania matches, and nothing special happened. Not one thing. There were zero Wrestlemania moments tonight. It really bums me out. How's Cena gonna bump his own girlfriend tho? Better start drilling some holes into that belt cause Nikki's going to bed early tonight. |

I'm half sleeping still but I just bust out laughing at that Zack Ryder picture.
I'll watch one of the replays of the show sometime today to see if anything comes across differently on second viewing but as of now I think it was a really disappointing WM. I liked Rock/Cena and Taker/Punk but they weren't Taker/HBK or End of an Era WM classic type matches that'll be talked about for years to come. The midcard stuff was fine (except Ryback-Henry) but completely forgettable. I hated not seeing the Funkadactyl match. And HHH/Brock was a million miles from the match of the year type match I was hoping for.
Cena and Punk had a match on RAW a few weeks ago that was better than anything last night (it feels weird saying last night when it only finished like 4 hours ago). I think that puts into perspective for me how not special this WM felt.

I really think Zack Ryder had an affair with Vince and was the one to break it off. Vince is just now being spiteful. It's the only explanation why they didn't attempt to capitalize on the huge following he had a couple of years ago. Now I just feel really bad for him anytime I see him sort of on tv. Fandango was smart enough to have an affair with Vince around WM time. |

and when fandango climbed the turnbuckle for the second legdrop was he supposed to fall or did jericho jump up as quickly as possible and save it? My friend and I thought exactly the same thing, and now I'm certain that that's exactly what happened. |

I watched most of the matches again. My final review:
- The opening match was pretty good but not as good as The Shield’s other matches so far
- Ryback/Henry sucked
- The Tag title match was average with a good ending
- Jericho/Fandango was okay
- Del Rio/Swagger was decent but didn’t feel like a WM World title match
- Taker/Punk was good by normal PPV match standards but disappointing by Undertaker at WM standards - I’m disappointed they couldn’t come up with that one spot where it looked like Taker might lose (like the Tombstone two years ago or the Sweet Chin Music/Pedigree combo last year) - They tried it with the WM X7 last ride/sledgehammer spot re-done with the urn but I didn’t buy it - Heyman stopping Taker from doing his suicide dive was great and I somehow must have missed it when I was watching last night
- I liked Brock/HHH a lot more on second viewing but still felt underwhelmed by it and could only really get into it during the last 5 minutes - It reminded me of Punk/Jericho last year or Jericho/Edge a few years ago where the crowd being so quiet for most of the match made it seem really boring even though they were taking big bumps and really trying to have a great match
- Rock/Cena was my favourite match of the night - The second half of this was the only thing all night that felt like WM to me - Rock looked better than he has and there was at least 3 points when I thought the match was finished before it was - My favourite spot of the night was Cena tricking Rock into thinking he was going to make the same mistake as last year by going for the People’s Elbow
My final rankings:
1. Rock/Cena
2. Taker/Punk
3. Brock/HHH
4. 6 man tag
5. Jericho/Fandango
6. Tag title match
7. Del Rio/Swagger
8. Ryback/Henry
I don’t know, I didn’t hate it like I did last night but it was still disappointing imo. It was on the level of WM 25/27 as lacklustre WM’s where there’s only one match I would ever go back and watch again.

If it was the same as last year it probably would've take 4th.
Funkadactyls would've taken 1st or 2nd even if it was short/not too great

www.tmz.com/2013/04/10/triple-h-2nd-degree-burns-wrestlemania-dry-ice/ Triple H's body is scarred up with 2nd degree burns he suffered at WrestleMania last weekend ... but he wasn't scorched by fire ... the culprit was dry ice.
HHH suffered nasty burns to his torso and arm after he walked through a special effects machine that was blasting dry ice to create a smoky effect as the wrestler made his grand entrance.
The dry ice stuck to H3's body and burned him up ... but during the event, Triple H ignored the pain and shrugged it off like it was no big deal.
Fans, who clearly didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, began to mock the wrestler online ... so Triple H took to Twitter to show what really happened.
May we recommend some Neosporin?
Ouch. Also, Rock tore abdominal muscles, Cena had food poisoning and a broken thumb going into his match, Punk hurt his knee and Brock might have gave himself a concussion. So the only one of the six wrestlers in the three main events who was okay was the ole Deadman.

It was god's way of telling them all to retire.
