Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The_Legend3 Wrestlemania XXVIII took place on April 1, 2012 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Here are my match reviewsWorld Heavyweight Championship match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus- Terrible match only went for 18 seconds, all it took was Daniel Bryan to be distracted by his woman and then kicked in the face and it was over. GARBAGE!! WHAT HE COULDN'T KICK OUT OR WAS HE STUNNED Because HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT!! THIS IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP!! .1/10 Kane vs. Randy Orton - This was an OK match, great finish, entertaining .7/10Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. The Big Show - Short but it was nice to see Big Show throw Cody Rhodes around, put is butt in his face (literally) and win his first Intercontinental Championship. Only thing I hated was that stupid video he made of Big Show pre match, that was bad .6/10Eve & Beth Phoenix vs. Kelly Kelly & Maria - God Awful that's all there is to say .1/10Hell In A Cell Match The Undertaker vs. Triple H - IMO one the best matches I've ever seen. This is WWE or what it should be. The drama, the brutality, the respect, the commentary from Mr Ross. that staring contest, OUTSANDING!. I feel these things missing from WWE today. Sadly it marked the end of an era which means we won't see something like this anymore. When you look at WWE now compared to this you see the difference. The people who run WWE today need to look back at what made it so great .9/10Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy - Only good thing about this was the midget and Booker T .6/10WWE Championship CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho - I'm just going to put this out there and say I don't like Chris Jericho. Never did never will. Probably his feud with Shawn Michaels a while back was the only thing he did that was cool, but I cringe every time he says something. He's nothing but a trash talker. This time it was with CM Punk's family. So I'm glad Punk won through Submission with the Anaconda Vice. There was a lot of bodily contact in this one .7/10Main Event John Cena vs. The Rock - After all those matches I bet it took a lot out of the audience still this is what a year of hype and promoting came down to. John Cena vs. The Rock. The Rock is my favourite wrestler so I was pumped. One thing that didn't make sense was 'ONCE IN A LIFETIME'. Uh no it wasn't because of the rematch a year later. Anyway the pre match started with a really bad concert for each wrestlers entrance from I think Flo Rida and someone else which I didn't care about. WHY DID WE NEED THIS? why couldn't it just be a normal entrance. Whatever. So they get in the ring stare at each other then each person decides to push each other until they fall over, WOW! IS THIS A PUSHING CONTEST! Then it begins. Well not really because they don't really fight like aggressive. It's just grappling. Then they just lie there in the ring sweaty until the next person gets them up. That's just poor. What made no sense is John Cena Five knuckle shuffled, AAs (twice) STFs, (until The Rock almost fades), jumps off the freaking turnbuckle with an elbow and bear hugs the Rock and he still didn't win. The ending is pathetic he makes fun of the Peoples elbow gets Rock bottomed and then its over. Maybe they were saving The Rock for the Royal Rumble IDK but it was OK I guess they delivered what they said they would. The Rock won which made me happy but I just feel it was over-hyped. It just needed more drama like the fight earlier. Still good - .7/10Overall it was an OK Wrestlemania I recommend buying the Blu Ray or DVD and skipping to Undertaker vs. Triple H, CM Punk vs. Jericho and John Cena vs. The Rock
adonis98-743-186503 WrestleMania XXVIII was the 28th annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view event. It took place on April 1, 2012 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It is the highest grossing PPV event in professional wrestling history. The main event on the card was a bout between The Rock and John Cena, a match that was announced a year in advance with the tagline "Once in a Lifetime". The 2 reasons why this Mania was awesome was the match between Cena and Rock which was awesome as hell and the Hell in the Cell match between Triple H and Undertaker was cool too with HBK being the special referee also at the time the theme song of this Mania was very popular and everyone had it on their phones just saying.
Owen Ogletree This was a strong show, mostly because the three main events delivered. The undercard wasn't too bad, and the show had a great atmosphere.World Heavyweight Championship Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus - This was a disgrace! An 18-second Championship match?! Are you kidding me?! Bryan is distracted for one second, then Sheamus wins the Championship with a Brogue Kick just like that?! To do this is bad enough, but at a WrestleMania?! Unacceptable! RATING: DUDRandy Orton vs. Kane - This match was okay, but it was a TV quality match for the most part. These guys don't have much chemistry, and the wrestling was mostly basic. It did get good in the last few minutes, though. Kane wins with a second Chokeslam. RATING: **1/2Intercontinental Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. The Big Show - This wasn't too bad for a big man vs. little man match. It didn't overstay its welcome, which is definitely nice. The Big Show gets his WrestleMania moment by winning the Championship with a Knockout Punch. RATING: **3/4"End Of An Era" Hell In A Cell Match with Shawn Michaels as Special Guest Referee: Triple H vs. The Undertaker - In-ring wise, this match is epic, but it's the storytelling and pure emotion that make the match the classic that it is. HBK's involvement made it that much more dramatic. These two titans engaged in an absolute war that will never be forgotten and truly felt like "the end of an era." The Undertaker wins with a second Tombstone and goes 20-0 at WrestleMania. RATING: ****3/412-Man Tag Team Match to Determine The General Manager of Both Raw and Smackdown: Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy - This match was entertaining for what it was. A nice way to cool down after the epic battle we just witnessed. Team Johnny wins, and John Laurenhitis becomes manager of both brands, which didn't last long. RATING: **1/2WWE Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho - This was a fantastic back-and-forth technical contest. Punk and Jericho have amazing chemistry, and the match got especially exciting and dramatic toward the end. I rate this just slightly below their match at Extreme Rules a few weeks later. CM Punk retains his Championship by submission with the Anaconda Vice. RATING: ****1/4The Rock vs. John Cena - The most hyped match in WrestleMania history, it was everything we expected from a spectacle and atmosphere standpoint and far surpassed expectations from an in-ring standpoint. The Rock is in just as good if not better condition than before, and Cena was a great opponent for him. The finisher kick-outs were also very well done. The Rock wins after Cena attempts a People's Elbow with a Rock Bottom. RATING: ****1/4This show is far superior to the show the previous year. It's mostly the three big matches (particularly HHH/Taker) that make this a show worth checking out.RATING: B+
Marshall Dann Another excellent WrestleMania in my opinion! This time I watched it on WWE.com online Pay Per View. My views are in parenthesis.* The pre-show saw Primo and Epico retain their Tag Team Championships in a triple threat match against The Uso's and Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel. (A nice match to get things started. Didn't think the titles would change hands, but I think that Kidd and Gabriel are going to make an awesome tag team.) 1. Sheamus beat Daniel Bryan to win the World Heavyweight Championship.(This was one hell of a quick title change that I immediately cracked up after I saw it.) 2. Kane beat Randy Orton. (In my predictions I picked Orton to win. The ending was pretty wild and they both fought a good match that either one could have won.)3. Big Show beat Cody Rhodes to win the Intercontinental Championship. (In my predictions I picked Rhodes to retain. It was great to see Show get his moment while Rhodes had a great run with the title. Show's KO punch really looks like it hurts bad.) 4. Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos beat Eve and Beth Phoenix. (Didn't really care for this one. However I find it funny that Maria now holds two victories over Beth Phoenix. Maybe she's earned herself a shot at the Divas Championship.....) 5. Undertaker beat Triple H in a Hell in a Cell Match. (Awesome, just an awesome match!!) 6. Team Johnny beat Team Teddy. (I predicted that Team Johnny would win as well and it was nice to see The Miz get the pin for the win. Hopefully this will be the end of those long loosing streaks for Miz and Drew McIntyre. As of now John Laurinaitis is in control of both brands.) 7. CM Punk beat Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Championship. (Great back and forth match.)8. The Rock beat John Cena. (Awesome match as well. Rock and Cena gave it their all but on this night it was the Rock that came out on top. Great main event to another excellent mania.)Thanks!!
