Shit Mania... but the chat was a fuckin' blast! If you didn't join us, you missed out big time & now you have to live with that mistake for the rest of your miserable lives.
LONG LIVE THE CUBE!

A fun Mania overall. Entrances were sick for HHH/Taker. My MOTY so far for 2011.

Loved it, though I think that was mainly the atmosphere. Jam packed pub, booze flowing, Attitude era fans going bat shit for stunners and Rock Bottoms... great great night.
Still pissed about Danielson though.
EDIT: Props to Snooki tho for hitting the Muta elbow.

Chat made up for what was kind of a lack luster Mania. Should definitely do it again for each PPV

I thought it was a very much disappointing PPV as well. Couldn't join you guys as I still don't get AIM. Will surely do for next PPV though. I thought Punk/Orton was very well put together as well, mainly due to Punk's abilities as a character. Taker/HHH is MOTY so far as well. I felt a lot of doubt in moments.
Oh yeah, the Cube was most interesting!

HHH's Metallica entrance and Miz's pre-match MV were so awesome. I could watch them 100 times over.

Very flat, rushed and underwhelming 'Mania. Only paid £5 for it though and had fun watching it with some friends, so no major complaints I guess. Would've liked Bryan/Sheamus on the main card.
Upon first viewing, I thought Triple H/Undertaker was good but not that great. I re-watched it this morning and liked it a lot more, probably **** worthy. Weird that they started out with lots of big spots like the back body drop from the announce table, spear through the Cole Mine and spinebuster through the announce table. They transitioned well between them though, however this stopped once they began to trade finishers. Especially during Triple H's pedigree run, the flow wasn't smooth at all. But the last 5 minutes or so were tremendous. Triple H screaming for him to "stay down!", his reactions after kicking out, Undertaker's reactions after kicking out and the AWESOME near fall with the tombstone. That was incredible, they both sold it brilliantly and I genuinely thought it was over. It was built up very convincingly. 'Taker just would not die, you couldn't keep his shoulders down for 3 seconds. And you theoretically couldn't do the same to Triple H. The only way to win was to completely incompatible your opponent, render him motionless and trap him in a submission where he couldn't escape and couldn't inflict damage on you. Eventually, he would have no choice but to submit or pass out. That's why I liked the ending, it worked really well for the match and Triple H did a great job selling it, it was probably better than the ankle lock in Angle/Michaels because I felt that went on a bit too long. There was a lot of good camera work during the match too, along with JR giving it a more epic feel, and even the entrances worked with Triple H using the gongs in the Metallica song to mimic Undertaker. Not on par with the Michaels matches, but damn great and worth a re-watch for sure.
Nothing else was memorable at all. Miz's vignette was TREMENDOUS, I fucking loved it. And Zack Ryder's rendition of "Friday" was funny.

I didn't care for the show at all, and HHH/Taker didn't do a whole lot for me.
Although Wrestlemania is the one time a year when people should be kicking out of finishers, it's impossible for me to invest in the drama when I know that the match won't end until there has been atleast three or four tombstones. It's a fault of the precedent that has been set with recent Taker main events especially, and I can't help but feel that it's lazy psychology to just coast merely on the crowd's awareness of your MOVEZ~! Isn't that what house shows are for? I thought the match began to get interesting when Hunter started to become increasingly violent, but it was too little too late. Beyond that, all I saw were two old guys doing a finisher every couple of minutes and expecting me to take all of them seriously.

if anyone finds a video of the opening typography introducing the rock PLEASE link me... That opening video was tremendous, just some awesome production work right there. I didn't like that they went all 3d text crazy throughout the rest of the show though. The show itself was good I felt, maybe because I just had fun seeing it. The Taker/HHH match was awesome I felt, and even though they overused their finishers they still did a great job of selling the whole match. Plus the crowd was just amazing throughout that match. The final minute with the submission was great as well, I just loved the visual of Triple H grabbing the sledgehammer and then dropping it as he taps. Oh and the cube was horrible. That's right I said it, ain't no body afraid.
