| Re: Wrestlemania 24 Thoughts and Opinions The Belfast Brawl was an interesting choice for the opener, WWE goes with way more title matches to open than they do gimmick matches. Decent match, nothing special and didn't really do the apparent emotion of the feud justice with no blade job. JBL winning was a surprise, hopefully that doesn't mean this feud is continuing.
MITB was terrific, very impressed with Morrison and Shelton in particular. Definitely a WM worthy match and probably on par with the first MITB match. I wrote about CM Punk winning earlier in this thread.
Batista vs Umaga was a very bad match for the potential it had. Batista winning, especially considering the quick and somewhat, is meaningless.
Flair vs HBK was a tremendous match, so many false finishes. WM 24 will be remembered for this match.
My stream wasn't working very well for Bunnymania or at all for the WWE Title match, will definately have to download the latter. I'm not against Orton retaining because for whatever reason I'm just not feeling Triple H right now. I think the title ends up on Cena in the end unless he takes it from Orton following the filming of his movie and goes on to drop it to a heel Triple H.
My stream started working again towards the end of Mayweather vs Big Show. Surprised to see Floyd take the punishment he did and dominate the end as he did. NODQ was a good move for this match.
Main event was solid but the commentary and crowd just didn't have the WM main event feel to it. They did a decent job of convincing me that Edge could win (not nearly as good as Orton at WM21) but Taker winning was the right move. Glad to see they kept this one on one for the most part. Also, Taker's gogoplata submission needs to go. |
