they wanted 64.99 for this shit?
Taker/Michaels was BY FAR the best match I have seen in many years. It was reminiscent of Steamboat/Savage at WM 3 with all the near falls and each one seeming like it was THE one. Instant classic and both men showed why there is such a separation between the real pros and the cats who think they are main eventers. At one point, I actually believed Shawn might get the win, but Taker keeping the streak alive makes sense. (Cena can break it next year....JUST KIDDING!!!)I marked out like crazy during this match and I can't tell you the last time that happened. Probably during the "Attitude" era. Just fucking awesome and saved the show from being an utter, utter bust. Btw, loved the "old school crotch chop" by Shawn.
HHH/Orton I think will get a bad rap as being anti -climatic, as I believe they were just out of Satellite time and that match got shortened quite a bit. Time for WWE to re-evaluate and realize that matches between 20 skanks was innovative and shocking 7-8 years ago, but nobody cares to see that shit at Mania anymore. As well as a fucking Kid-Rock concert.
I miss the time when EVERY match at Mania was the climax to a lengthy feud, and was important to the stories that WWE was trying to sell.
BTW, were they working with a new director last night or what?? I noticed they missed the shot on a lot of high spots. Most telling was they missed the fucking water spit by HHH. I mean, I'm no fan of Hunter's, but the dude has one signature move that wraps up his ring entrance and they were late to it?
