Nothing was really close to being a big surprise in a pretty predictable WM. When I saw that the Edge/Taker match was last it was a clear sign Orton was retaining and Taker was winning, so that took a little intrigue out of it.
A mild surprise was just how good of a match Flair and Michaels had, looks like the Naitch still had something left and he gave it his all. Another surprise was that Michaels wasn't seriously hurt, the way he landed on the announcer's table ... that HAD to hurt.
Not too many huge surprises but I didn't see CM Punk MITB winning at all - I definately had him fourth most likely behind Jericho, Kennedy and MVP. However, it makes some sense with his recent RAW appearances and the new kid friendly direction of the WWE. I'm really not sure when he'll cash in but I expect him to switch shows and establish his credibility throughout the summer. My early prediction, cashing in against a WHC Edge late this year or early next.
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.
