Exactly. The point is you can probably go plenty of places and find different responses.

Even though I no longer live in the same area as my group that regularly got together for RAW and PPVs, we still keep in touch to discuss big events. Hell, if Wrestlemania 29 did one good thing, it was getting us all talking to each other at the same time. We haven't done that in years and it was good to talk like we used too. I will say that I am slightly embarrassed that one of my friends continues his routine of demanding a refund for PPVs that don't meet his expectations but that's another story. Honestly, I don't go to as many wrestling related websites as I used too but I still check a good number of them. During the Attitude Era, I used to frequent tons of wrestling related websites, hell I used to regularly write for one of them. Actually, you remind me quite a bit of a guy who used to write for the same website I did. He was a great guy and had some interesting input but he never made any room for anybody else to add their input. Of course, he was obsessed with Japanese wrestling and he was convinced that PRIDE would eventually dominate and swallow all other forms of wrestling and/or mixed marital arts...so, there's that.

None of this, however, has anything to do with my original point. I was simply pointing out the fact that it doesn't matter how much money Wrestlemania 29 made because it's not a proper gauge for how good the event was. Like I said, I am glad that I was talked out of getting it. I never once said that Wrestlemania 29 wasn't good. Just that the general consensus from what I have heard is that it was disappointing. Were the main events good? Yeah, they were entertaining but I've seen better. I'm glad that other people enjoyed Wrestlemania this year, I really am but I'll go on record as saying that Wrestlemania 29 will be one of those Wrestlemania's that just come and go and won't really make any lasting impression on anyone. Of course, this is all just my opinion, so take it or leave it.

You realize you're just proving my point right? I'm not saying you're right or wrong about the quality. I'm saying you can go plenty of places and find plenty of different opinions about it. And please, I find you to be a really great guy so lets keep the small personal jabs out of it and save those for someone more deserving like Nacireman

I really wasn't trying to make a jab at you, you just remind me of a guy that I used to know.

To this day, if I get a chance to play a wrestling video game, I still create a wrestler and name him after a ridiculous name that he came up with just for shits and giggles...good times! :drunk

You mean the Hulk Hogan Show? :roll:

Kaz and Daniels trying to get Fortune back together was fun.

WWE star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told his Twitter followers that he may have worked his last match. "Mania may have been my last match," Rock wrote in a Q&A session. "The three-year goal was to come in and elevate the WWE, then proudly do the honors."

Ah man, my friends and I are going to the PPV live. Marufuji was one of the guys I was really looking forward to seeing.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to seeing him too.

Smackdown was kind of a let down. Undertaker vs Ambrose and Swagger vs Del Rio were good but Regal vs Barrett was a real throwaway match. Wish they hadn’t even bothered.

Instead they had Sheamus vs Big Show for the 100th time.

The Layla/Aksana wasn't really worth checking out, either. Gotta agree that the Regal match should've been longer.

It sucks that he had the knee injury. Well, at least I'm still going to be able to see Taiji Ishimori live, something I haven't been able to claim before.

Smackdown was a load of rubbish book-ended by two great matches.

The opener, between Swagger and Del Rio was a lot of fun, I'm enjoying this feud and making this a no disqualification match was a good escalation. It was brutal and as I've said before, the way these two reverse each other's submissions is really great. I do find it odd that Dolph Ziggler was nowhere to be seen here, but hey. I would also have liked to see Colter and Swagger do a promo attacking the UK audience, saying heelish stuff like America saved your ass in WW2 or bringing up the Revolutionary War. A feud that's all about America loses something when it's being played out in Europe, so they should have brought some more heat that way.

Layla/Aksana was a typical pointless women's match, but it was good to see Layla get a home-country win.

Fandango beat Justin Gabriel, which was actually an OK match now that I think about it, Fandango's top-rope leg-drops continue to be awesome.

Sheamus/Big Show is a match I never really want to see again, it's happened so many times it's boring. Both guys are a great in the ring, but they need to fight some different people. I did like Mark Henry's interference.

Wade Barrett Vs William Regal was a missed opportunity, it was way too short, it should have been a lot longer and given Regal a chance to get some offence in. But I did like Barrett's insulting of Regal, and it's good to see him win.

Orton/Henry... meh.

The Undertaker Vs Dean Ambrose was excellent, I am very impressed with Ambrose as a single's guy, he just looks crazy. And even though he lost, The Shield really won the day as they took out Undertaker and did their power-bomb through the table thang (and Roman Reigns did his best Spear ever thang). That was an amazing moment, it really got across how bad-ass The Shield were, more so even than when they've beaten down Cena or Ryback or The Rock or Kane or anyone. They took out The Undertaker FFS! I believe.
