Pre-Show: Had a sorta-decent tag team title match. Primo and Epico retained. But who really cares about any of that except for Rosa?
WM Hour 1: Garbage. The opening "match" for the heavyweight championship was a fucking joke...over in 18 seconds. This wasn't even a booking issue with show time...they planned it this way.
Everything else was pretty much forgettable...it was like an hour of RAW.
HHH/Taker: Not as good a wrestling match as last year's brawl, but still really well done and HHH, Taker, and HBK added emotion/drew upon previous storylines in a way that just isn't done anymore. Jim Ross on commentary was awesome...shame it was just for this match.
GM Tag Battle: A snoozer with a predictable ending. Put the crowd back to sleep after the previous match woke them up coming off the horrible first hour.
Punk/Jericho: Good match; the last-minute DQ stipulation was stupid and wasn't needed, but they still made things work.
Rock/Cena: Not as good a match as it should have been, but still very enjoyable. The Rock's win honestly surprised the hell out of me. Too bad Cena isn't gonna go heel though.
Overall I like this more than last year's awful WM, but it was still not as good as it should have been. Too many shitty matches and FUCKING COMMERCIALS just brought it down.
Also of note- Dave Bautista and Brock Lesnar were both at the area. Don't know about Batista but Lesnar is supposedly going to be working some limited dates (like 10-15 over the course of a year), likely building to a Mania match next year. Some are speculating it's going to be Taker-Lesnar.
