- With Wrestlemania 27 in the books, it is time to look back and see what the World Wrestling Entertainment did right and what they did wrong. It is hard to imagine that the WWE would do anything wrong with a Wrestlemania, but they did. First lets go match by match.
- I love how they got things started off. After the Rock came out and got the crowd going, they didn't let the crowd sit and get restless by throwing the mix tag match or the eight man tag match out. No. The WWE kept the crowd standing as they went right into the World Title Match. Edge defending the title against Alberto Del Rio. Result Edge retains title. I was very surprised that Edge kept his title in this match, but glad because I thought that the WWE was pushing Del Rio to quickly. I thought for sure that Christian would betray Edge and cost him the title. Setting up a feud between the former partners. But that didn't happen. It was almost pointless have Christian and Brodus Clay out there. They really didn't get involved in the match. I am very anxious to see what the WWE decides to do from here. Especially with Christian. Give him the title and let him run the show.
- Next match was Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio. Rhodes needs a new gimmick. Coming out with the plastic mask when his face is fine is just stupid. You knew it was going to be taken off during the match and it was.The match overall was good. I thought that this could be a match to push Rhodes' career. I don't see him contending for the World Title anytime soon but he could be a solid Intercontinental champion. Result Rhodes defeats Mysterio. Like how WWE had Rhodes win by himself nobody came down and interfered to help him win. Want to see what the WWE does next with him.
- After the match they had a Snoop Dogg segment which was just stupid and pointless. All it did was kill time. Time that could have been use for a match. I think WWE tries to get as many celebrities camera time as they can and it takes from all the work the wrestlers put in.
- Third match of the night was Kane, Big Show, Santino Marella, and Kofi Kingston vs the Corre. This match had no business being on this card. The wrestlers knew it, the fans knew it and the WWE knew it as the match ended real fast. I don't think the Corre even got an offensive move in.
- The segment after this match had the Rock and Divas Champion Eve Torres. Funny segment, as always with the Rock.
- The fourth match on the card was Randy Orton vs CM Punk. This match was one that I couldn't wait for. I thought this match would steal the show. I was very surprised to see that this match was on this early. Really. The WWE doesn't think enough of these two great talents to have them with the other main eventers. Their storyline alone has carried RAW since the Royal Rumble. They may not be as big of storyline as the Miz. John Cena, and the Rock, but quite frankly who is. They deserved to be billed ahead of the mix tag match and the Cole/Lawler match. Orton and Punk did not disappoint. The match was great. With each wrestler gaining momentum as different times in the match. It ended with Punk flying off the top rope and Orton hitting the RKO in midair. I still think that these two aren't done and have a great feud ahead of them. So I look forward to see what the WWE does to each of these stars going forward.
- The hall of fame inductees are out next. And i hated how Shawn Michaels couldn't stand on stage with everyone else. No. He had everyone else out there and when it was time for him to be called he had to make a grand entrance. But that is Michaels for you. Always having to steal as much spotlight as he can.
- Next match was the announcers match. Cole vs Lawler. This match went on way to long. Cole was dead tired half way through the match and half his moves didn't look like he was doing anything. Lawler won, so we thought, but the Raw General Manager chimed in and said Lawler was disqualified. So Cole actually won the match. I find this funny as it was Lawler's dream to compete at Wrestlmania and he ended up losing to someone who has no wrestling experience.
- The match that headlined Wrestlemania was up next. The Undertaker vs HHH. Would the streak survive? The answer was yes. The streak went to 19-0. The match was great. It had everything you could possibly want. Near fall after near fall after near fall. The Undertaker looked seriously hurt after the match. He had trouble getting off the mat and when he finally did he fell right to the ring floor. HHH even stayed out a few extra minutes to make sure he was ok and they ended up carrrying him out on a stretcher. I have trouble believing that this is part of a storyline. The Undertaker didn't move for way too long and it didn't seem that anybody knew what was going on.
- Next match was John Morrison, Trish Stratus and Snooki vs Laycool and Dolph Ziggler. Morrison and Ziggler had no part in this match, as Morrison hit one move on Ziggler and both were done for the rest of the match.Trish and McCool fought most of the match until Trish tagged Snooki in she hit two moves and pinned McCool. Hated this match when it was scheduled and hated watching it. Morrison and Ziggler's career went no where. Maybe even killed it. What the WWE needs to do is give Morrison a new gimmick. He is a great talent and could and should be world champion one day. They also need to get Dolph away from Vickie. She has no point in the WWE. She is only holding Dolph back.
- The main event was out next. The Miz vs John Cena. I was wondering how the WWE was going to approach this match. Main question was what would the Rock do? I think that everyone was wondering when the Rock would appear and it was taking away from the match. The Miz dominated Cena for most of the match. Cena just didn't look right, even had the announcers saying it multiple times. Cena would gain some offense and take the match outside the ring. The match ended in a double count out. We all knew that Wrestlemania wasn't going to end that way and out came the Rock. He restarted the match as no dq and no count out match. The Miz and Cena rolled back into the ring and the Rock took over. He rock bottom Cena allowing the Miz to gain the victory and retain the title. But the Rock wasn't done. He let the Miz have his glory, but when he was done celebrating he attacked him and ended the show by delivering the people's elbow.
- Overall, I give WWE a 3 out of 5 stars. There were many things that they did well. But i felt there were many more that could have been approved on. We will see the aftermath on RAW tomorrow.
