Amazing how little I was actually interested in the  event this year due to the build up. And then how little I cared for the  show AFTER I watched it live. Hoping a rewatch for this review will  change my opinion on things&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Sheamus Vs Daniel Bryan &#8211; US Title<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>No  real build for this match, but I&#8217;m a massive Danielson fan due to his  in ring work, and Sheamus has improved a ton in the last year. Nice to  see the US belt actually getting defended as well.<\/p>\n<p>So, the PPV  kicks off with this match and&#8230; wait&#8230; no it doesn&#8217;t. This match  doesn&#8217;t make it on the show AT ALL. It got put on the pre-show (so we&#8217;ll  most likely see it on DVD)&#8230; AND TURNED INTO A FUCKING BATTLE ROYAL  THAT KHALI WON. Why did this happen? Oh yeah, because the guest host of  WM, The Rock, had to cut a 15 minute promo.<\/p>\n<p>BULLSHIT.<\/p>\n<p>Makes  it even worse that the promo was fucking shit and UTTERLY POINTLESS. It  added NOTHING to the show in the slightest. I did not pay for this PPV  to see no wrestling for the first 20 minutes, and certainly not for a  fucking Rock promo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLSHIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Edge Vs Alberto Del Rio &#8211; World Heavyweight Title<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, after Rocky&#8217;s pointless and shit promo, we finally get a match&#8230; and its the WHC match? The fuck?<\/p>\n<p>As  soon as they announced this was the opener, I had a feeling that Del  Rio wasn&#8217;t winning. Maybe I thought a big title change like this simply  wouldn&#8217;t happen as the opener, but honestly I can&#8217;t really say the exact  reason I got that feeling. Turned out to be right though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Gotta love how Christian, one of the most talented wrestlers in the world right now, is stuck on the outside doing nothing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Del  Rio quickly goes after the injured arm, which is of course a smart  move. The only real potential I saw for this match was the arm work and  Edge&#8217;s selling of it and fighting to come back, so it made me a little  happy to see that neither man was retarded enough to ignore it (hey, it  has been done before lol&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>With Del Rio working the arm, Edge  really has to use his veteran instincts to create openings for himself,  which we see fairly early on when he moves out of Del Rio&#8217;s way, and Rio  goes flying through the ropes to the outside. Then the importance of  leaving WM with the WHC is made perfectly clear when Edge lands a top  rope dive to the floor in an attempt to keep his opponent down.<\/p>\n<p>And  with Edge creating all these openings due to being the veteran, Del Rio  does equally as well by going back to the injured arm to control the  match whenever Edge gets some offence in.<\/p>\n<p>Rather loved the spot  with Del Rio hitting that big kick on Edge, going for the cover, only  for Edge to get his foot on the rope and Rodriguez running past to take  it off before the ref sees him. Great to see someone on the outside  actually doing more than just standing around these days.<\/p>\n<p>When  Brodus smashed Edge&#8217;s shoulder into the ring post and Del Rio went for  the Cross Arm Breaker, I thought it was over, but alas, it was not to  be. And a few moments later&#8230; Del Rio gets hit with a running hug and  for some reason Edge actually retains the belt. Bah.<\/p>\n<p>Match had a  lot going for it, I gotta admit, but outside of a couple of spots, there  was nothing that we wouldn&#8217;t see from lower card guys in a Superstars  match. It was just totally underwhelming for a WM match, and even more  so for a WHC match. It wasn&#8217;t until the very end when things seemed that  important and they went into a higher gear either. A little better than  I expected tbh, but as I predicted, Christian\/Del Rio on SD a couple of  weeks back was WAY better than this. Sucks balls that Edge is still  champ too. Guy&#8217;s boring and stale beyond belief.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: **1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Cody Rhodes Vs Rey Mysterio<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Totally looking forward to this match! Great build up, and both men talented enough to give us something great.<\/p>\n<p>Why does Rey always have to look like a retard at WM?<\/p>\n<p>After  the beatdowns the last couple of weeks, Rey wastes no time going after  Cody, and tries to take that protective mask off too. Not to embarrass  Cody, but to remove the potential weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Cool to see someone in a  feud with Rey NOT caring about the mask or taking it off. This time its  CODY&#8217;S mask that is the focal point over Rey&#8217;s mask, and its Rey&#8217;s KNEE  BRACE that is the target of his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Tremendous sequence  from Cody where he spins Rey around in the ropes, headbutts him with the  mask, then does that leaping kick (I&#8217;m sure it has a name, but I forget  these things) to Rey&#8217;s head. Makes a great sound and looks amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Again Rhodes looks awesome when he counters some Rey Rey offence and utilises some BOB HOLLY offence to try and put him away.<\/p>\n<p>Since  Rey and the knee brace injured Rhode&#8217;s face months back, Cody does a  wonderful job of trying to get the knee brace off, and when Rey keeps  fighting back so he can&#8217;t do it, goes after the face of Rey to gain some  revenge.<\/p>\n<p>Like Del Rio going back to the arm of Edge in the  previous match, Cody keeps using the protective mask to headbutt Rey  whenever Rey might be making a comeback. All in all just some great work  from Cody.<\/p>\n<p>After some great offence by Cody, he finally has Rey  down and almost out, enough to take off that knee brace and hopefully  avoid getting injured again. But once this happens, Mysterio is pissed  and makes sure to take the mask off of Cody and land a 619!<\/p>\n<p>Cody  is resilient though, so Rey goes one step further for retribution, and  puts on the Cody mask! A few headbutts with it and Cody looks to be out,  but nope, he still fights back! So how does Cody react to having his  face attacked with his own protective mask? He grabs the knee brace that  he took off of Rey, and smashes him in the face! One finisher later,  and Cody picks up the big win!<\/p>\n<p>Fucking great how the knee brace  came into the finish, and actually HELPED Cody, after ruining his life  for so many months prior to WM. Shocked to see Cody get the win, but  extremely pleased. Great match, awesome storytelling, and perfect  finish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: ****<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s  this? A Pointless segment backstage and The Rock isn&#8217;t involved? I AM  SHOCKED! Something about Snoopy the Dog and people trying to be funny  but not really achieving it. Except for Regal. Oh, and how many of us  wish that Piper would hit the real singer of &#8220;Friday&#8221; in the head with a  coconut? Not just me I&#8217;m sure!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Corre Vs The Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella &amp; Kofi Kingston<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So,  Vlad was taken out during Axxess and Kofi takes his place. Don&#8217;t care  for either man so it doesn&#8217;t matter to me which one of them is here or  not.<\/p>\n<p>In my predictions I said that Corre will probably win, since  3 of the 4 are holding titles, but WWE are stupid enough to make them  lose.<\/p>\n<p>Man oh man, if only I knew then that WWE were even MORE  stupid than I could possibly imagine. Not only do the Corre lose&#8230; but  they lose in a grand total of about 2 minutes (actually, more like 1 and  a half). Again, I have to bring up the fact that Rocky cut a 15 minute  pointless promo at the start of the show, and a match gets cut and  another gets cut so short it might as well have been cut. Thanks Rock!<\/p>\n<p>Its  weird though, I&#8217;m pissed that it was so pointlessly short, but at the  same time I wasn&#8217;t interested in the match anyway. Perhaps with 10  minutes or so it could have been a nicely worked match, or perhaps it  could have sucked and making it less than 2 minutes was the best thing  for it. We will never know. The minute and a half it DOES get is  entertaining as hell at least, so that&#8217;s&#8230; you know, something. I mark  for Show&#8217;s right hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: 1\/4*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Snoopy  had his chance for a pointless backstage segment, and now The Rock gets  to do it. Yey. LOL at him talking to Eve and saying how great it is  that she is the Divas champion&#8230; and yet she isn&#8217;t even on the WM card.  Did I mentioned already that this is pointless? They had the chance to  do something decent with it when Austin showed up&#8230; but they just said  hello basically and left. I bet Sheamus and Danielson just LOVE Rocky  for probably getting paid a couple of million to be here and taking  their WM match away from them.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>CM Punk Vs Randy Orton<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This  one has potential to be good, but based on Orton&#8217;s terrible babyface  match formula, it also has the potential to suck more balls than The  Rock.<\/p>\n<p>So we have another match where the story can revolve around  a particular thing; first it was Edge&#8217;s arm, then we had Rey&#8217;s head and  knee brace along with Cody&#8217;s mask, and now Orton&#8217;s leg. Its all simple  stuff, but done right can really make a match. Edge\/Del Rio didn&#8217;t go  beyond the basics, Rey\/Cody worked all aspects in their match extremely  well, and now we just have to see how Punk and Orton work with the leg.<\/p>\n<p>Punk  goes after the leg the moment the bell rings, so I guess we can expect  the leg to be the main focus, which is exactly what it should be. Punk&#8217;s  offence is tremendous, and Orton shows that he can sell really well  too. I know he can, but some people out there seriously don&#8217;t think  Orton can do anything except for an RKO&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RKO countered into a  kick to the face by Punk was epic. In fact, Punk has some tremendous  kicks throughout the match, especially the sequence of kicks that ends  with a sweep to knock Orton down into the Anaconda Vice.<\/p>\n<p>Despite  some good selling by Orton, Punk&#8217;s offence seems to be really up and  down after a while. We get bursts of greatness from him, then periods of  &#8220;meh&#8221; offence where it looks like he&#8217;s just wasting time. Maybe that&#8217;s  not the best way to describe it, but I&#8217;m struggling to really think of  what it is I&#8217;m trying to say lol.<\/p>\n<p>Orton failing the hit the Punt  because of his leg, but leaping up for an RKO was pretty fantastic. I  would have preferred that to have landed and be the finish rather than  Punk getting away and then jumping into another RKO.<\/p>\n<p>Some good  stuff here, but some of it seemed a little dull to me and I wasn&#8217;t a fan  of the finish. Like I said, should have ended with the attempted one  rather than the &#8220;catch off the ropes&#8221; one. Disappointed with this one,  but at the same time it wasn&#8217;t as horrible as it could have been either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: **1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s  that? More pointless backstage Rock segments? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hey  looks, its Pee Wee &#8220;I&#8217;m a children&#8217;s entertainer and I got caught  masturbating at a movie theatre&#8221; Herman. Great for PG WWE!<\/p>\n<p>And  this is followed by the usual HOF segment where they are all introduced  and only a couple of them get reactions lol. Sunny looked hot as hell,  and poor Drew Carey got booed. And Shawn got his own huge entrance while  the rest were already on the stage. I guess it helped save time, I  mean, they needed that extra 15 minutes for The Rock at the start!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Michael Cole with Jack Swagger Vs Jerry Lawler &#8211; Guest Referee Stone Cold Steve Austin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>LMFAO  at Michael Cole. Me and my brother just cracked up when we saw what he  was wearing. Awesome that JR was on commentary. When Booker was  announced I was pissed because he sucks, but then JR came out too and I  was happy again.<\/p>\n<p>Amazing to think that this feud was the major  reason for me buying this event&#8230; and the match ended up being god  awful. I knew it wasn&#8217;t going to be a classic, but they just went about  the whole thing completely wrong and it turned into a shit fest on par  with Hart\/McMahon (except Cole didn&#8217;t need to rest half way through the  match lol).<\/p>\n<p>It started off great; Lawler takes out Swagger while  Cole cowers in his tool box before Lawler finally gets his hands on him.  Then Swagger attacks Lawler from behind while Austin is distracted, and  Cole is in control.<\/p>\n<p>And then it gets shit.<\/p>\n<p>Cole starts to  work over the leg and ankle of Lawler. In such a shitty way. And takes  WAY too long to do it. WAY TOO LONG. Take 10 minutes away from this  match, and the 15 minutes from Rocky&#8217;s promo and we have an extra 25  minutes that could have been spread across Danielson\/Sheamus and the 8  man tag or something.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not one of those fans who thinks that  WWE needs blood to make it more awesomesauce (you know, like TNA!), but  this match could have perhaps been saved at the end had Cole bladed and  was covered in blood following some huge rights from Lawler. But since  that wasn&#8217;t possible in the slightest&#8230; how about just a fucking  Piledriver to end it? Bah.<\/p>\n<p>Lawler getting to take out Cole at the  end was a nice payoff, and the Raw GM reversing the decision and giving  it to Cole was great too&#8230; as long as they don&#8217;t go into overkill with  Cole&#8217;s character on Raw because of it. Still, it NEEDED to be way  shorter and Cole should have gone a completely different way with his  offence. Disappointing as FUCK and really really bad for the most part,  but it did have its moments where I was entertained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: 1\/4*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Undertaker Vs Triple H<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Without  a doubt the BIGGEST match on the show&#8230; and really the ONLY big match  on the show. Despite my seeming man love for The Undertaker, I wasn&#8217;t  too interested in this one. Based on their previous matches over the  years I had a lot of reason to doubt it. And watching it live didn&#8217;t do  much for me.<\/p>\n<p>However, after sitting through 20 minutes of  Lawler\/Cole and numerous other disappointments, and the fact it was  around half 2 in the morning by now, I was tired and a little bored and  probably didn&#8217;t pay as much attention to it. Hopefully this rewatch will  do some good. I mean, back at WM 25 I wasn&#8217;t THAT impressed with  HBK\/Undertaker when I saw it live. Adored it when I reviewed it the next  day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For Whom The Bell Tolls&#8221; plays and out comes HHH for a  rather unspectacular WM entrance. Nobody this year really had an  entrance worth mentioning, including Undertaker right afterwards. Though  I always enjoy Undertaker&#8217;s entrance no matter what lol. Oh, and his  new coat was awesome too. Maybe one of these days I&#8217;ll look into getting  a coat like that, always really wanted one.<\/p>\n<p>No time wasted here  as HHH takes the fight right to The Undertaker with those big lefts and  rights. No need to feel his opponent out; he&#8217;s been in the ring before,  plus he just wants to end the Streak at any cost, so going for the big  bombs right away makes sense. Undertaker just kinda shrugs him off  though, launching him out of the ring. HHH throws more bombs at  Undertaker on the outside, but Undertaker again shrugs him aside and  sends him into the steel steps. Undertaker wants to control this match  and go at HIS pace, regardless of what HHH wants to do. So HHH charges  at The Undertaker and sends him crashing through the tool box, which  leads to a great visual of Undertaker getting up almost DBZ style when  someone is knocked into a mountain or something and they just stand back  up and let the rocks fly off them lol. He stares at HHH almost as if to  say &#8220;fine, we&#8217;ll do it YOUR way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>HHH is really determined to  take out Undertaker here, and as a result Undertaker takes a bump into  the barricade that someone of his age and condition (hip surgery a year  or so ago I think) really shouldn&#8217;t be taking. But its WM and he&#8217;ll do  everything he can. The fight goes onto the announcers table, and HHH  takes a huge bump with a back body drop off the table to the floor, and  perhaps legit injures his left arm which he favours for the rest of the  match, but not in a way that prevents him from doing anything if you get  me.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that he is truly in for the fight of a lifetime,  Undertaker knows he has to really bust out everything in his arsenal.  After WM 25 when he landed on his head, I didn&#8217;t think we would see it  again, especially since he didn&#8217;t do it at WM 26 and his condition has  got to be worse a year later&#8230; but dammit, Undertaker continues to  prove that he is still the best in the world when he wants to be, and he  dives over that top rope as effortlessly as he did a decade ago when he  was in way better shape.<\/p>\n<p>The big bumps keep coming, and  Undertaker again puts his body in more risk than he should when he  attempts to put HHH through a table but ends up taking a AA Spinebuster  through it instead! DAMN!<\/p>\n<p>Watching live, and feeling how I did  (bored, disappointed and tired due to the time and rest of the show so  far lol), I just saw this as one giant finishing stretch from the get go  with no psychology or anything. Watching it again in a much better  mood, I can see it for what it really is; awesome. The match is all  about HHH wanting to end the streak or die trying, and Undertaker  wanting to prove to HHH that is ISN&#8217;T his time to go yet. So HHH does  what he does best; be a ruthless cunt who will destroy his opponent at  any cost, while Undertaker continues to fight back and kick out of  anything The Game throws at him. If they had started slow, locking up  and &#8220;wrestling&#8221; at the beginning, it really would have been dumb given  the context of the feud, so I for one am glad that they went all out  from the start. Helps that they are executing everything so well too.<\/p>\n<p>At  some point Undertaker gets a Chokeslam in, but nobody in their right  mind believes that its over lol. A Pedigree shows up too, and it too  isn&#8217;t that great as a false finish, just because of what Undertaker and  HBK did the last 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Last Ride spot, while again not the  best false finish, was still cool because it was a great throwback to  WM 17, as Undertaker defeated HHH that way 10 years ago at this very  event. Undertaker getting frustrated was great to see. His character as  the last outlaw might not look too different on the surface, but he  really is been shown as more &#8220;human&#8221; than usual, and given the feud with  Undertaker not accepting HHH&#8217;s statement that he&#8217;s done, getting  frustrated like this at not being able to put HHH away really adds to  the story of the match. If a Last Ride, and then a TOMBSTONE can&#8217;t put  HHH away&#8230; can Undertaker do it? Can he hold on to his streak? DRAMA~!<\/p>\n<p>The  second Pedigree is a way better false finish than the first. Like the  Tombstone, its one of THE most protected finishers in the entire  industry really (though other companies tend to use the Tombstone every  now and then and NOT finish a match with it&#8230;). So seeing 2 of them not  work, and then a THIRD in a very short period of time after the second  one also not work was just amazing. I always go into these matches  expecting Undertaker to win, but every so often a certain spot in  certain matches over the last few years really makes me think that the  Streak might end this time. That third Pedigree was one of those moments  along with the last Superkick in WM 26 before Undertaker eventually  won.<\/p>\n<p>MOAR Throwbacks in the match (which I LOVE btw) with HHH  using the steel chair similar to how Austin used it on The Rock at WM 17  when Rocky kept kicking out of the Stunner, and then the &#8220;stay down&#8221;  which was a throwback to WM 26 when Undertaker told HHH&#8217;s best friend  HBK to stay down. Makes the match that much better that Undertaker  actually finished HBK off after telling him to stay down and he didn&#8217;t,  so with HHH saying it maybe he would actually get the win!<\/p>\n<p>Undertaker&#8217;s  selling in this match NEEDS to be talked about too. The man really is  one of the better sellers IN THE WORLD today, and has been for a number  of years, even with the Dead Man gimmick. He can make things believable  while still being able to be the &#8220;other worldly&#8221; character. Here he  comes across as more human, as I mentioned earlier, and his selling is  just impeccable. You really get the feeling that he&#8217;s at death&#8217;s door  and the next big move could end his streak, and his life (kayfabe of  course).<\/p>\n<p>And then there is the Tombstone. From HHH. Good GOD. I&#8217;m  struggling to decide which is better; Tombstone kick out by HBK at WM  25, or this one. The crowd has been pretty shitty most of the night, but  picked up for this match, and when Undertaker kicked out of that  Tombstone they went ballistic. Almost as if THEY, like me, believed that  it was over. And then it wasn&#8217;t. And it was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Just as  Undertaker was getting frustrated with HHH kicking out of shit, HHH  begins to get that same feeling, and resorts to bringing out the  Sledgehammer. He drags Undertaker to the centre of the ring, and informs  the Dead Man that &#8220;Its time&#8221;. And Undertaker sticks him in Hells Gate!  What a struggle this is too, with HHH trying to hang on, trying to  escape. At one point he grabs that Sledgehammer, and we know that just  one shot from that and it could be it for The Undertaker&#8230; but HHH is  fading fast, and the Sledgehammer drops. The hammer hits the mat, and  then The Game taps out. I would have preferred for HHH to simply &#8220;pass  out&#8221; to really put over the &#8220;die trying&#8221; mentality that he had going  into the match, but its a minor complaint really.<\/p>\n<p>Damn.  Definitely, DEFINITELY enjoyed this more on this rewatch. A LOT more. A  fucking TON more. This is fantastic. Truly epic. The storytelling is off  the charts, the action is incredible, and the finish (while not 100%  perfect) is great. This was one hell of a battle, and the selling from  both men, but especially The Undertaker, is out of this world. Hell,  I&#8217;ve been reading all day from numerous sites that a LOT of people  believed that Undertaker was legit hurt and out of it. I just have to  wonder what&#8217;s next for Undertaker after the way he was taken to the  back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: ****3\/4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>John Morrison, Trish Stratus &amp; Snookie Vs LayCool &amp; Dolph Ziggler<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Urgh.

This is just bad.<\/p>\n<p>Dull.  Best way to describe this one. Only thing I can say positive about it  is&#8230; ummm.. the F-U kickout from The Miz. As far as the F-U goes, being  a fucking shitty move and all, it was probably one of the best Cena has  done in terms of impact, and Miz kicking out of it was a shock.<\/p>\n<p>The  double countout thing was shit, but if ANYONE honestly expected WWE to  end the main event of WM like this, then you must be a TNA fan.<\/p>\n<p>Rock  comes out (because, you know, he hasn&#8217;t taken up much time on this show  yet) and talks again&#8230; Raw GM says something.
