Cena - Wyatt match was okay, to say the least.

This Undertaker - Lesnar match however, God, so boring...

Holy fish sticks. That is probably the biggest swerve of the decade.

Everyone in the SuperDome is stunned. Everyone in the house is stunned.

Kudos WWE for having the guts to pull that off. But the mark in me is upset for various reasons.

I'll admit, I was a huge wrestling fan in the late 80s throughout the 90s. Loved Hogan, Bret Hart, Macho Man, nWo, Goldberg, etc.

I was actually at WrestleMania 14 when they came to Boston and also caught Nitro when WCW came to Boston back in 1998.

As I got older, I started to lose interest but still catch it from time to time.

I heard Hogan, Austin and Rock had a cool segment.

Just a couple questions for those who saw the event

-Did CM Punk return?

-Did Sting make an appearance?

WOW.

he had to lose some time!  hes like 50 years old and they keep trotting him back out there every year for this, him losing is the only way this can end and he can retire.  Im guessing Takers appearances are going to get even more scarce than they already are.

GREAT MAIN EVENT! This is actually a great WrestleMania, sincr I thought it was probably the least excited.

Took you on an emotional roller coaster ride, swerves and near swerves, near falls, drama. Great WrestleMania!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

The streak was broken in the most anticlimatic fashion EVER.

True. Which makes the swerve even more hard hitting. It was probably the most boring match of the night, I enjoyed the 10 minute Divas match more than that. But the way it was anti climatic, it takes you out of your zone. You get speechless, you cant believe it.

All the elements of a great swerve. When it sinks in, you'll realize it was perfect. Especially since they had to put everyone again in a high state of emotion in the Main Event. They booked this WM perfect, and I'm ashamed to admit that I was least excited coming in. Ended up enjoying the whole thing.

I haven't watched it but it sounds kind of lame. If the undertaker is retiring I understand this, but Lesnar? I'd rather have someone respectable end it like the rock, stone cold, basically anyone other than Lesnar.

Also no CM Punk. I guess he'd really gone which is a shame.

And I hate Daniel Bryan with a passion. Don't get the lovefest for him.

I agree in a sense with Lesnar. With the way Brock's character has been portrayed, kayfave wise he is a threat to tje streak. They juat did not build ul the feud the correct way. If this has the build up of last year like CM Punk's shot, it would have been more interesting.

But, and I say it again, that's whenthe swerve hits deep. No one thought Lesnar would do it. Punk had a "shot" last year and a lot believed he had. Lesnar was not built up like that, and WWE decides to screw everybody.

It also makes sense, you put the fans in disbelief, angst, on an emotional lowest of lows. Then hype them up by having Bryan win the title.

Also, was hoping for a CM Punk run in as well. Guess he really is DONE.

And while I respect your opinion about Bryan, I can explain the lovefest. In a way he's now the new Stone Cold, but tuned down. His bosses dont want him in the top, but this blue collar guy, despite his lack of "superstar" size finds ways to win and be in the conversation. And if were going smart fans perspective, he earned it. He's a guy who was known in the Indies, worked his way up, was given a chance and took it and made a lot with it. And despite not having the physique, he made up witj it with ring abilities and charisma. Wrestling fans respect that.
