The Big WWE Wrestling Thread

Rubbish finish to the match and Wrestlemania.

5/10 overall. Seemed like this PPV was only good for about 2, maybe 3 matches at a stretch.
 
+The Good+

Taker vs HBK. What a match. Without a doubt the best match since HIAC last year, and well worth the money alone. It had just about everything you could possibly ask for. Just goes to show that the older wrestlers know how to thrill and entertain better than anyone else. 10/10

Y2J vs Legends, this was really good fun. I loved how they kept bleeping Piper out, he was swearing like a hyperactive sailor with tourettes! :D Also Steamboat's still got it, he can wrestle better than most of the current roster. Snuka is a bit more frail I felt, but tried hard. It was a bit of an anti-climax though with Rourke. All that for one punch? Pft. 8/10

Triple Threat match was reasonable, nothing overly special but I thought it was entertaining enough. Of course Cena was going to win, it's the only way to keep that storyline moving forward. 8/10

-The Bad-

The Hardys Match. Really sodding poor. Far too short, and far too many moves that either didn't come off or came off wrong. I felt like it was just building up to something crazy and it did, so predictable, and the "crazy" move wasn't even all that tbh. Waste of time and a right let down. 2/10

The Divas. As soon as Santino was spotted, it was only ever going to be him winning it. Another waste of time filler. 2/10

-+The Average+-

The MITB match. Some good stuff, but as said above, there were some glaring mistakes that didn't work at all. Plus it was all far too short. I have no problem with Punk winning it as he showed last year he can carry a strap (before dropping it and being shoved back down mid-card) but at least make the match itself a bit more convincing. 5/10

The ICC match. I can see what they were going for with the quick finish but it just cheapens the whole thing really. Also whilst initially I was shocked at JBL's reaction, it all makes sense with Tazz leaving. It means Layfield can just slot back into commentary. 4/10

Orton HHH match was only ever going to end with the use of the sledge, and that it did. Solid match though, some good stuff. I was pretty tired by that point though, didn't take a lot of it in. :p 6/10

Overall i'd give WM25 a 7/10. It was a decent PPV, but really it was carried home by two matches - one being a showcase in how to wrestle, the other being good damn fun, everything else was run-of-the-mill stuff.

Youve pretty much summed up how i feel about it, i only got it for the taker match was worth my 15 quid alone :)
 
MITB:
5/10
TO SHORT! not just that but a good few botched moves. i wanted kane to win, OR Christian, that didnt happen, but i am happy with CM Punk. Did not like the ending though. It didnt seem "cool" enough.

Diva 25
??/10
I missed this match :D went to check emails (yes at 12-1am :p) and ended up getting a few rounds of SFIV, before my brother started laughing luoudly, and i remembered WM :D

Hardys
6/10
Once again, too short :(. Spots were very nive, but i wasnt feeling the emotion from the hardys. End was brilliant though, loved the Twist of Fate in the chair. innovative :)

Legends
8/10
fun as hell match to watch. i marked out so much for ricky.

IC
1/10
DISGUSTING!!
after how many years WM has been without the IC title they give us this BS!!! WTF :mad:

WWE
8/10
superb match, so much energy and emotion, and HHHs intro was very markable :D. I thought Orton would have won this, with CM punk cashing in, due to the way orton cost CM punk, but id love to see this fude between HHH for another 3 months, ending at judgement day with orton taking the title.

World
5/10
The Only noteworthy parts were cenas entrance, him lifting up like 750lbs and the fact that he won.

Heaven vs Hell
10/10
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A MATCH!

Its been SUCH a long time since a i saw a match that had my heart in my mouth as much as this. its was FANTASTIC. for me i didnt mind who won, but its true, its nto a WM without taker winning, and HBK shows hes STILL MR. Wrestlemania.
The Entrances, HBK coming from heaven, and taker from Hell, was just the tip of the iceberg to a near perfect match. the false finishes were heart throbbing, and the physcology of the match was marvelous. i dont think we will see an epic like this for a LONG time.

My last fav match at WM was WM 17 (Rock vs Steave austin, when austin and vince shook hands) and Kurt Angle vs HBK.

IMO this topped HBK vs Kurt, but i still dont think it was upto rock vs SA. :)
 
Obviously the highlight of the night for me, as with everyone else was the Taker, HBK match. I expected so much out of this and it delivered and then some.

It was simply incredible, best match I've seen in years

Other highlight for me was Austin speeding down the ramp on that quad and saying farewell in only a way he could, I was a huge Austin fan when I was younger so I was very pleased to see him do this

Glad Cena and Triple H won, although the end of the Triple H match seemed weird, almost as if it ended before it should have done. I know he took the sledgehammer to the head, and then got pedigreed, but it just felt when he got pinned that I was expecting him to kick out, guess it was the effect of the earlier match :p

I agree fully.

Im expecting more from Lockdown in a few weeks to be honest.

Foley Vs Sting - Promising.

Also, Daffney returns to my TV - WOOP.

I have not watched WWE since last Wrestlemania and a little of the Rumble this year.

This was their last chance for me.

TNA is not superb at the moment, although is better than this effort but seeing as this was WRESTLEMANIA, it should have been MUCH MUCH better, lets be fair, for a Supercard, it was average, for a Wrestlemania PPV, it stunk.

TNA, the ball is with you, go run as only you can.

Yeha the Taker HBK match just got me completely I mean I did honestly think at one point that HBK was actually gonna do it thats how much the match sucked me in! You could tell everyone in the arena loved it with the crowd reactions!

To be honest those two have surpassed anything I've seen in WWE since the match that HBK had with Jericho a few years back at Mania (If you remember that it was an absolute classic of a match)

They really stole the show tonight and probably should have been the Main Event tonight. Kinda took the shine off the rest of the programme.

----------------------------------------------------------

MitB really quite disappointed me due to the finish, CMPunk was a lousy champion and he is one of these, "unrealistic" champs if you ask me. I just couldnt believe he won, I thought for one second Christian was gonna take it then as soon as Kane got up there I thought he'd deal with both and take the case, what does the big guy need to do to get a push?

The few spots that were botched were quite bad but it seems like they were trying to desprately to "innovate" with the ways they could use the ladders this year. Finish ruined the match for me tho :(

----------------------------------------------------------

Diva's match was saved by Santino....Santina I mean....! If he wasnt there it wouldnt have been worthwhile and his dancing was tremendous!

----------------------------------------------------------

Legend's!
JERICHO WON!!!! HAHAHA! I actually loved this match it was just fantastic tho really putting Snukka in it is a waste of time, the guy is just way too frail and only has his solid skull as effective offence. What did surprise me was how well Ricky done and my god he was in fantastic shape and totally put on a good show.

Micky Rourkes involvment didnt surprise plus when he started the boxing you knew what was coming, tho it is wrestling not boxing after all Mick ;)

Was great entertainment in a match I didnt expect to be.

----------------------------------------------------------

Hardy's....
Well it was quite an extreme match in which they tried to do a lot of crazy stuff but ultimately the action was in drips and drabs really. Too much time to set things up and the match just never really flowed. Was an appropriate grudge match tbh but I think they got a lot of people when Matt was the victor :D woohoo!
I was surprised and very happy about it! Loved the twist of fate on the chair as well, good way to finish off Jeff!
Cool things happened but not the best.

----------------------------------------------------------

JBL :(

Well I seen this coming a mile off after he said all he did and then attacked Gay before the bell. Thing is tho I just plain out dont like Gay Mysterio there is just something about him and he really doesnt do anything surprising anymore its just the same old same old.

I will say one thing about JBL though, he is one of the greatest heels in WWE in a way. The heat he manages to get himself is actually amazing, people really do hate him. It's a shame his back has basically forced his hand to retire from in the ring.

A shambolic match to end his in ring career on really though!

----------------------------------------------------------

Edge v Big Show v Cena

Credit where credit is due to the big man in that match, I thought he did really well and the effort put in by all three was pretty damn good! Unfortunately they had Cena get the win.....I hate Cena as champ I really do but if he sells the most merchandise you know he's gonna get a strap!

Lets hope the draft sends him to Smackdown though! :D

----------------------------------------------------------

Orton v Triple H

Ah this match was really good, both put a lot in and some great moments but....the finish! :( Now as said before the sledgehammer was always going to be the factor but I was surprised Triple H won tonight I really was.

I think the crowd were willing Orton on for the win also as there was a really muted cheer....if any....when Triple H got the pin, everyone including me was surprised it was over and the way it went.

------------------------------------------------------------

Overall it was a really enjoyable pay per view that warranted the price for Taker and HBK alone! I will pay anything to watch HBK in a Mania match because he truely is Mr Wrestlemania.

I just think they put that match on too early as it just took away the energy for the final two matches.

Only other critisisms is just a few of the finishes which totally sucked in a way!

What I will say now is, Roll on the Draft!

To be honest it wasn't a particularly great looking ppv before the show started so the result ended up being really what was expected albeit I was expecting much more from the WWE Championship match, why the E continually have Orton job to Triple H is really beyond me I mean seriously what was the point in the match or Orton push towards the match when the end result is the exact same as every other time the two have got in the ring together :mad:

Match of the night bar none was obviously Taker v HBK, in fact the WWE will struggle to top that match all year it was that good.

The major highlight of the night for me was CM Punk winning Money in the Bank for the second year running mainly because it all but guarantees another title run within the next year.

Only other worthwhile match was that between the Hardy's some sweet spots during it especially the twist of fate on the chair! Jeff should have hit the Swanton when Matt was on the table on the outside though rather than that flimsy looking splash :(
