For those who watched Mania, how was it? Was Taker/HBK II as great as I?

Missed ShowMiz vs Truth & Wisdom due to Satellite issues at my friend's house.
Triple threat was alright. Kinda dull at first, but built up good near the end. Oh and \_O__/
Money in the Bank was alright. Some spots were great, while others were very convoluted. Swagger winning kinda threw me off guard. And what was with the Sanjaya Malakar look Kofi had?
HHH vs Sheamus kinda bored me honestly
Punk/Mysterio was very fun, but I wish it went a wee bit longer.
Bret/Vince...........Ugh.................
WHC match I thought was really good. Didn't notice the crowd due to me and my buddies marking since we watched live. Generally surprised Jericho won, but we all marked for the SPEARSPEARSPEARSPEAR.
Divas match. DAT AXE KICK was the only thing I popped for.
WWE Title match: Very good, although the final counter did look off somewhat. Still, enjoyed it.
HBK/Taker: Some things were slightly weird for me, but overall a great way to end Mania. Went crazy for the Moonsault and the old-school jumping Tombstone.
All in all, I am happy I watched Mania. It was interesting because it had a lot of amazing moments and a lot of "Ugh, I hate being a wrestling fan" moments.

What was wrong with Bret/Vince? 10 minutes of a one-sided beating is never entertaining.

Yea Bret/Vince sucked. When HBK beat Vince down it was way more fun. I really wish Vince had won.

Bret/Vince was a total atrocity. I know that Bret can't do anything, but what abysmal booking. Show wans't all that great, but I was somewhat entertained by it. Punk, Sheamus and Batista should have won. Main event was great.

I really enjoyed Mania this year. Showmiz vs MorrisonTruth was okay but they should have gone with the Triple Threat as the opener since the crowd did really pop big for Orton. The Money In The Bank was great! I liked some of the new spots they made for the match, especially when they sandwiched Kane between the two ladders. Really glad that Swagger won instead of Christian or Drew Mac. HHH and Sheamus was what it was, wasn't really expecting anything from them. Punk/Mysterio was awesome, only thing that bothered me was that Mysterio was dressed as an Avatar....kinda weird. Bret/Vince was not what I was anticipating. The commentators really ruined it for me, made me wish JR had called it. Bret teasing the sharpshooter and then continuing hitting Vince wasn't a big help either. Jericho/Edge was good but the final spot after the match confused me. Couldn't they have done the spear during the match? Divas match was short so I didn't really care for it, although I did laugh at Vickie doing a "Bullfrog" splash. The Cena/Batista match was way better than I had expected. Really liked the ending celebration of Cena with the "Anti-Cena" people. The HBK/Taker match was better than last years imo. Undertaker kicking out of all those Sweet Chin Musics was priceless. Ending spot with Taker and Shawn was phenomenal. All in all it was good Wrestlemania, definitely worth a watch.

Nice farewell speech that Shawn had on Raw last night. Sad to say but I think this might really be it for him.

He needs to be the wrestler that really retires like the rock and stone cold did. Making appearances is fine but wrestling at an old age is just a bad idea.

I just watched Superstars, SmackDown, RAW, & NXT back-to-back-to-back-to-back so here's my thoughts...
Mysterio vs Tyson Kidd on Superstars was awesome... it got like 20 minutes. I wanna see more!
That 10-man tag money in the bank preview match from SmackDown was a whole lot of fun. Didn't even care that Bland McIntyre got the pinfall.
The rest got fast fowarded thru since it was just WM hype videos & an R-Truth match.
Glad to see Bret finally allowed to give the Hart Dynasty the rub... should have happened 3 months ago.
What's the point in dragging out a bajillion divas for a huge tag match, when it's over in 5 seconds with no tags? This isn't even the first time they've done this.
Cena/Orton vs Batista/Swagger was fun... it's crazy how over Randy is.
HBK's farewell was excellent. Period.
Jericho is literally the only reason to watch NXT (he's almost sold me on Wade Barrett)... unless of course you enjoy seeing Danielson do nothing while Cole shits on him for an hour.

Well, at least Danielson won something this week I thought it was alot better than the last two shows.
