 Wrestlemania 24 Thoughts and Opinions
I thought Mania was pretty solid. The Money in the Bank stole the show by far. Very creative this year. All men involved got their time to shine, Matt showed up, and I'm happy Jericho didn't win. He would have looked weird carrying around the briefcase. Honestly, I think he's beyond something like that. He'll get his title matches using other avenues. CM Punk is an ok choice, but I'd rather have seen Kennedy or MVP. They really need to start pushing all these guys. Everyone was fantastic in that match.
The Triple Threat was good. I'm not surprised Orton won given how the feud had gone, but there was certainly some doubt. Nice to see him retain.
Show/Mayweather was meh.. but better than expected.
JBL winning was a nice surprise.
This is about the only way Flair could have gone out and I'm glad it's finally over. Great career. HBK is unreal. He can make any match interesting.
Taker winning wasn't surprising obviously, but the match was great. The booking, spectacular. They made it look like Edge might have a chance there for a second which is all I needed.
Divas crap was awful. Should have included Mickie or Kelly Kelly, even Maryse. Santino was gold again, though.
Batista is awful.
Kane winning is the ECW title is meh. I guess he deserves it.
All in all, solid show. Oh, and I want to reiterate how much I love Kim Kardashian. |
