Mammoth Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oh yeah, I know we're all going to be talking about 'Taker for the next couple of days, but can we just take a moment to show some appreciation for Cesaro? A great moment for a legit superstar in the making. Usually, the guys that lift Show lift him on their shoulders which - ask any weight lifter - is a lot easier than using pure arm strength, but Cesaro lifted him in the body slam position and actually took a couple of steps which is just bonkers. He's potentially the guy I'm most looking forward to seeing which direction the 'E takes him in in the next couple of weeks because after this, I'd expect a push of sorts.

masterded Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Am I the only one who actually liked the Divas match? or Was everyone still in shock about what just happened? I mean sure the match was short and mostly person b hits move on person a, then person c hit move on person b, and so on. But it was fun and the ending was great.

lazorbeak Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah honestly after years of Attitude era nostalgia, WWE finally has a way of keeping the Attitude era alive via the network, so hopefully we can finally move on. Seriously, Attitude era guys record tonight? 0-3, 0-4 if you count Big Show being tossed in the battle royale last. WM29 had Kane, Triple H, and Undertaker going over (Jericho, Rock, and Big Show lost), 28 had Big Show, Kane, Undertaker, and Rock going over, and it goes on like that. 1999 was 15 years ago. It's time to finally give moments to the Cesaro's and the Daniel Bryan's and Bray Wyatt's of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delv213 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>Did anyone actually see Undertaker losing to Lesnar tonight? Bryan getting put over twice in one night, especially with his finish being protected, really cemented to him being the 1B guy, at least for now. Cena could turn heel soon hypothetically if they believe Bryan's the guy of the future. Especially if Cena's fans start buying into Bryan's shtick, which I think they are. It's not like Cena's going to beat Ric Flair's World Title record with Triple H running the show. It really doesn't leave Cena much else to do when he's the top babyface.</p><p> </p><p> Also, how many times has Undertaker put over Lesnar lol? Seriously, Lesnar's made a career out of beating Taker. I felt this one of the best Wrestlemania's I've ever watched, can't wait for tomorrow's Raw, which is a must watch.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously a guy WWE have a lot of trust in and are looking to build, he could have done a great build up with 'Taker with both of them being from the same vein in terms of dark/sinister characters and I think he needs something to re-establish him as a heel. As much as I enjoyed seeing the crowd start to sing "He's got the whole world, in his hands..." I'm pretty sure that's not what the plan is for the Wyatt Family.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>I thought it was a pretty good 'Mania altogether. Probably the best one I've watched that wasn't years after the fact (WM 23 was my first "live" 'Mania). With The Streak being broken, I don't think it will kill business for WWE or anything, but the match itself was a pretty crappy way for someone like the Undertaker to go out on. It just seemed to me like Lesnar had no idea what he was doing at points and Taker came off as an old man who just needs to retire instead of, you know, the freakin' Undertaker. </p><p> </p><p> And I don't think they really had a choice about throwing the divas to the lions, it was that or having the main event right after something so emotional and disorienting. I still feel bad for those poor women, it didn't matter how good of a match they had no one was going to care.</p><p> </p><p> I enjoyed the rest of the show though, particularly Cena vs Wyatt and the main event. It's kind of weird to see a Ring of Honor guy holding the WWE and World titles at the end of WrestleMania, but a good kind of weird. I also hope Orton's okay after landing back first on that monitor.</p><p> </p><p> Edit: I almost forgot about how happy I was to see Cesaro win the battle royal, I was a big fan of the Kings of Wrestling and I'm happy to see him and his freakish strength being shown off at the biggest PPV of the year.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demondragonking Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>Overall good show from the Silverdome. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I felt that whomever won the HHH/Bryan Match was winning the title(s) at the end of the night and there were potential story hooks for both guys going forward. I'm not much of a Yes Movementer, but I have nothing against the guy. The Shield match was fun as short as it was, but a nice way to get younger guys out there to the less hardcore fans. Loved Bray's entrance and the way the band was outfitted so props to them. Probably my favorite entrance of the night. Disappointed that Bray lost, not unexpected though as it was Cena he was up against. They did however tell one heck of a story in that ring and I feel that should the fates be kind, Bray will one day be a solid main eventer. The Diva's surprised me as there were some rather decent spots in that match and it shows their growth, of special note was the Bella's suicide dive to the outside as I wasn't expecting that. The Main Event turned out as I expected it to, to be honest. The Lesner/Taker match however, surprised me. I'm not the least upset, because Taker is OLD for a wrestler and in the most recent Mania's I've been almost apprehensive watching his match because I'm not rooting for him to win so much as rooting for him to not cause himself a life altering injury.</p><p> </p><p> Overall I give the show a solid A. There were ups and downs all night and at the end the heroes reign supreme for the night. I can live with that.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman74 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Undertaker looked every bit his age the last 5 fight 2 with HBK, 2 with HHH, and last year with Punk he didn't have to carry the matches this year he did and couldn't It is time to move on I am glad it was Brock it made sense since he wants the title how can he not be the top contender when you end the streak would of been better if it was Roman Reigns.

Lucas Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>I was predicting a swerve tonight but not to the Streak.</p><p> </p><p> Was in shock at the time but in the end really doesn't matter. Streak match itself wasn't too bad I thought, it was a slow build but the commentary didn't help. </p><p> </p><p> It definitely subdued the feeling of Bryan winning, but RAW will be massive tomorrow. Expecting Rusev to break out, and Bryan to feud with Brock I reckon.

Wanted Bray to win but feeling from the PPV wouldn't be the same if it was all so predictable.

But considering what went before that it really went under the radar. </p><p> </p><p> Also - props to WWE for keeping the Network alive.
