So Wrestle Mania 28 was a three match night and it did not start strong as the first hour was almost a commercial for the WWE with a lot of filler in it was four matches with a squash match first for the Smackdown title with Daniel Bryant calling a timeout as the match started and kissed A.J. and as soon as he turned around he meet a Shamus Bro kick for the win 18 seconds and Shamus is the new champ. Kane beat Randy Orton with the idea of Orton trying to get the RKO on Kane and failing every time while Kane was able to get the choke slam on him a couple of times and won the match when both guys where on the top rope and Kane choked slammed Orton for the pin. Then it was time for Big Show Big moment where he beat Cody Rhodes for the title and after the match Show cried and was come over the emotion and kissed his wife at ringside before leaving the ringside and going backstage. Then it was time for the Divas match which came down to Maria Menounos being tagged in and Phoenix had control and Kelly came in and helped her and Maria through Phoenix into the ropes and came off and Maria rolled her up for the pin. There was a lot of boring stuff during the matches after Bryant/Shamus match where they had a huge YES chant for Bryant and during the other matches they had Daniel Bryant chants and YES chants throughout when the fans got bored.
The Second hour was the Undertaker/triple H hour with all the entrances of all three guys with Undertakers stripe in the middle of his head got a great reaction and he had control of the match early inside and outside of the ring and then Trips used chairs and then sledgy and it was HBK who wanted to stop the match and Trips told him to stop the match or he will kill him. Taker told him to not and HBK super kicked him into a pedigy for a two count and Undertaker had both trips and HBK in the dragon sleeper and they took a lot out of them and it came down to Undertaker getting a chair and stopped Trips from getting sledgy and hit him with it and trips ended up using Taker to lift himself up and Undertaker did the throat slash and the tombstone for the win and at the end Taker and HBK carried Trips to the back.
The third hour had the 12 man tag team match which ended with Ryder in control of Miz and was setting up for the rough ryder and Eve came in the ring to get ready for it but instead the Ref turned his back and so did Ryder who both wanted Eve out of the ring and Miz hit the Stone Crushing finale for the win and Johnny Ace was very excited. After the match Ryder and Eve were talking and Ryder got up and faced Eve who low blowed him and left the ring and looked back at Ryder from the top of the ramp.
The second half of the hour was Punk/Jerico with Ace saying just before the match that if Punk was DQ he would lose the title and the beginning of the match was Punk trying to get under his skin to the point that Punk got a chair and Jerico said hit me, hit me and Pyunk throw the chair away. The later part of the match was both guys getting out of each others moves and it came down to Punk in the walls and he turned out of it and put on the anaconda device and had to do it a couple of times before having Jerico tap out.
The final hour started with Brody Clay came out and called his mamma who came our and danced with her bridge club which lead into the concert that took a long long time indeed.
The main event did not start hot with each guy feeling out the other and then it got hot with a lot of good moves and by the end they were gasping for air and for time and it ended with Cena decided to go for Rock elbow instead of the five knuckle shuffle and Rock got up and gave him a Rock bottom for the win just before 11 O'clock.
The theater I was at there were a mix cena and rock fans and they had a heated lets go cena/cena sucks chant and were hot for a lot of stuff and in the end I was buried out by all the filler so for me it was a thumbs in the middle. Also the theaters in Toronto need to diffidently not have a movie right before the event as there were a few hundred people waiting in line between 30 minutes to over a hour and it sucked huge.
Brock was not there but will be on TV tomorrow
