You know Matt... Sometimes a guy deserves his moment alone in the ring.

Main Event - this picked up huge after the interference. Daniel Bryan saved Wrestlemania.

Hahaha.. The same source you didn't trust!!!

Eh, the match built up at the end. You have your memorable Mania moment for all the wrong reasons.

Disagree about the 2002 Brock-Taker matches. Those were awesome at the time.

Brock vs. Taker - Match was better than Brock-HHah. The reaction at the end was priceless.

Shit I called it over here. Hahahaha. I am looking forward to this match now.

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt - I liked this in parts but not as a whole. It reminded me of the overly long Mankind-Taker match from Summerslam 96? Not in match quality but in atmosphere. The crowd singin was cute but I am shocked that this wasnt better.

Battle Royal - OK, after the initial shock, my Mark Henry disappointent aside, once we got to the meat of the Battle Royal... Awesome spots and awesome finale.

Fuck this show... Mark Henry is out. Worst Mania ever

The Shield vs. Old Farts - Exactly as it should have been. Thumbs up!!! They are going to sell so many of those Skull masks.

Oh shit, excellent post match!!!

HHH vs. Daniel Bryan - You have to love Trips and Steph as the best heel duo ever before the bell. Great early shine leading to the dive by Bryan. I actually enjoyed Hunter's control segment on the are specially the nasty hammerlock on to the outside apron. Once Bryan makes his comebacks... Awesome cutoff spots with the clothesline and knee off the flying , the spinebuster. The entire house was begging Triple H to tap from that Vice. the house lost their shit when Bryan kicked out of the Pedigree. The end did not feel epic but the match may beat Owen-Bret as the best Mania opener ever.

Best Wrestlemania opening ever.

Usos vs. Ryback/Axel vs. Matadores vs. Real Americans - Really fun elimination match and great way to kick off the show. Not as good as the TLC 4 way in December but it was solid.

Ok, thanks for posting that shoe. On Apple Tv, vq is great but sound went low at the turn of the hour. I was just about to ask if anyone was having audio issues.

I will be really surprised if lots of people do that. I feel like I've paid for something and I'm not going to double pay for it because I'm not sure I'm going to get what I paid for in the first place. But that's just me. If there are more buys than I expect, I will blame it on the word "Network", which is a misleading way to describe what WWE is doing in a way. That word leads people to think they can call their cable company for more information. Then maybe the customer service people there say "We don't know anything about a network, but we can help you order Wrestlemania." I am in this bus. I will have an illegal stream kicking just in case I think you overestimate people and their technological capabilities.

It was actually Shield vs. Evolution which is even better if it means that Daniel Bryan is not tied down to any of those guys moving forward.

For the audience, she was definitely the least famous person in the building. However, Jennifer Hudson being interviewed might get the WWE actual real coverage from real media outlets. Hogan and T aren't going to get you that in this day and age.

Loss, when we did the Mania Preview at P2B, two of the guys Kris and Johnny Sorrow freely admitted that they will buy Mania from their cable company even though they both subscribe to the network. I am interested to see how many people who have the network will buy the show because they don't trust the network yet to deliver Mania problem free.

Don't trust it.

Watching the Red Carpet now... Hulk Hogan - Bullshit or foreshadowing? Hogan said he got to flip some switches and make some changes as host so he may change some stipulations or match endings. Poor Jimmy Hart ... standing behind Hulk Hogan trying to get his head in on the Hogan family portrait. Roddy Piper needs to get over his Mr. T hate. The man spoke for 30 minutes about his mother, there is no other. Otunga and Jennifer Hudson standing behind the Usos doesn't seem right. Hudson is the most famous person in the building. Dutch really needs to be in the Hall of Fame.

No bad dreams last night. Wide awake right now. Amped.

Eh... I think Johnny P is over-exposed. He is kind of a publicity whore.

Ok, so last night I didn't get much sleep because I kept dreaming I was sleeping through the show. In my dream, I woke up and it was already time for the main events but of course I kept falling asleep before a match started so I couldn't recap my thoughts and I never heard the Yes chants to end the show. Nightmare. Anyway, I am amped for the show. The network hype has worked. The shall of Fame felt special. The buildup has been unbelievable. Bryan's journey has me feeling all tender inside. With that said, I am not feeling good about the card from a match quality standpoint. Pre-Match: The Usos vs. Real Americans vs. Los Matadores vs. Ryback & Axel (My wish is that the Real Americans break up and they have Cesaro vs. Swagger in a special attraction match on the show. I can dream.)
