Hey, wait a minute! That's no spoiler! Everyone knows it sucked! This spoiler is almost as bad as Wrestlemania 25. lol
Seriously though, that was a terrible Wrestlemania last night. 1 great match, 3 good matches, the rest was bad.

I've read alot of ppl trashing this wrestlemania and honestly I don't get it.
The MITB match was great and I predicted Punk winning, he deserved to win more than the other competitors.
Kid Rock was a waste, I admit that... the diva rumble could have gone alot better with entrances and such but come on, Santina (Santino's twin sister from Italy) FREAKIN' HILLARIOUS!!!!!! this will lead to some fun entertaining stuff w/Beth.
I am pissed the tag match was taken off the card, probably my biggest complaint.
Rey winning the belt is dumb but again i had a feeling it would happen and jbl would retire.
The Hardy match was good with a sick ending.
Jericho winning surprised me and I liked it... Steambook freakin' proved he is still the man!
Anyone who didnt think cena would become champ again is retarded, plain and simple. I hate the guy but i figured it was obvious he'd win.
the ending to hhh/orton was kind of anti-climatic but hhh had to win this match.
HBK vs Taker was worth it alone!!! one of the best matches in a very very long time. How taker didnt die on that dive out of the ring is beyond me.
overall, I really liked Mania this year... next year in AZ... I'll be there!!!!

When a match that's built around your women (past and present) leads to massive chaos with no introductions, the announcers having no idea who's involved and having everything lead to another dopey "comedy" storyline, it just isn't worth it. Personally, while Santino is very funny in his role, I'm growing tired of it. I'm finding it harder and harder to care about the guy who doesn't even seem to care about himself. I really know what he can do when given a chance and I wish he'd be given a chance to show off his actual wrestling/striking abilities.
I do have to agree that Steamboat proved that he still had it. While not in as good of shape as he was 10 years ago, he still looked friggin' amazing! However, Jericho running through 4 legends just to get knocked out with one punch really p*ssed me off. It completely craps on the whole idea of what a legend represents.
Also, the Michaels-Undertaker match lived up to the hype and thensome. It was one of the only matches that did. Of course, with 30 minutes to work with, it'd be hard not to. As for this one match being worth the $50 that I'm sure thousands of people spent to watch it, I simply can't agree. This show seemed like a 4 hour standard ppv; not the blockbuster, show of the year that it should've been and always should be.
Of course, that's just me. I could be wrong.

My complaint about Wrestlemania wasn't just about the matches. This was 25. The hype just wasn't there. On paper and storyline wise there just wasn't much there. I wasn't expecting alot, but more than what I recieved. My predictions and picks were way off base.
MITB was the best match by far, but it just seemed that Mark Henry, Finlay, and Kane kinda ruined some of it. I was impressed and I'm not angry that CM Punk won, but I would have rather seen MVP or Christian get it for storyline wise.
The tag team title match being pulled really pissed me off. That was one of the two matches at the show I was looking forward to. Having basically a watered down replay on RAW didn't cut it for me. Plus, I'd much rather have see Miz and Morrison win it all. They hype them as the best tag team of the century, and they almost pull it off then lose it. That sux.
Rey Mysterio vs. JBL was not a match that I looked forward to at all. I'd much rather seen Punk as IC champ. That match would have been much better. Best thing in Wrestlemania was JBL quitting though.
Hardy vs. Hardy was a good match, but I've been blah about that storyline since the get go. The ending really did surprise me, but they could have pulled out more stops in this match.
HBK and Undertaker was a good match, but the entire thing was predictable. I will say that I like the entrances. Demon vs. Angel was a neat twist on the story. Just too predictable. Though everyone would have been pissed if HBK had won too.
The divas battle royal was really bad. It wasn't long enough and the returning divas barely got mentioned. Santina stuff was funnier and made even better on RAW last night, but that match was nearly forgettable.
Jericho and the legends was a good match overall. I'll agree that Steamboat is the man. Everyone knew that Mickey Rourke was going to get involved but it could have been way way way better.
Triple threat match sucked ass completely. I was like everyone else and expected John Cena to win, but that match could have been way better. The only thing worth watching in the match was the double FU and Cena botched it. Besides, Eric Young does it nearly every week on TNA. Sure, it isn't Big Show, but then again Eric Young is nowhere near John Cena's size either.
I expecting a far better match than what Orton and Triple H put on. It was basically a match of finishers with the winner being the last man who could continue.
I'd planned on Stone Cold doing more than one lap around the ring on a four wheeler drinking beer. I'd like to have seen him stun somebody.
Top spot of the night:
JBL Quit.
Second best spot of the night:
Undertaker nearly killing the camerman.
