Who in their right minds would accept a full year schedule for a return nostalgia match? There's a reason injuries are so high and most of these guys have the backs of 50yr olds.

Undertaker stepping on the hammer and shaking his head was awesome

I came out my seat when he caught the sweet chin and pedigree. Initial reaction was that it was over.

I also came out my seat when Cena caught The Rock and rolled into an AA

Bryan's robe looked awesome, I didn't really care for Rhodes new color scheme. I love the white and short hood look. As long as he keeps doing that smile into the frown thing, he'll be awesome in my book

Overall thoughts:

I didn't like the opening match. I could see that there was some sort of storyline reason behind the decision to have the match be that short. However, my big problem is that I feel that having the match that came from the Royal Rumble winner be that unimportant at WrestleMania devalues the Rumble and I simply don't believe that any storyline is worth that cost.

I didn't care about Kane vs Orton, or Rhodes vs Big Show.

The talking segments and Mamma Clay were all stuff that I really, really hated.

Hell in the Cell was great.

The twelve man tag was all right, but just there.

The last two matches were great, with Jericho vs Punk being my match of the night. I cheered when the Rock pinned Cena.

The bad stuff was groan worthy, but the three good matches more than made up for it.

Thumbs up overall.

My point is what it has been and what most peoples have been is that if this is the end of the feud it makes no sense for a guy that has wrestled once over 7 years to come back and beat the guy that has carried the company for the better part of a decade, what is so hard for you to understand about that. I liked the match, I liked the build, but if this is the end it makes no sense to me. If Rock is gonna stick around for the next 6 months to a year to compete in matches and carry on his feud with Cena then ok Rock beat him last night Cena can get the upper hand again in another match, but if they are not gonna have another match then Cena losing was bad booking.

The irony is that all the matches "super cena" won the one time he goes clean is to the one person he should have gone over

agreed...there is no where for Cena to go if the feud doesn't continue. Cena should have over sold everything like HBK did during his match with Hogan a few Summer Slams back

Vince obviously felt otherwise

Rock has nothing else to prove now to show up again. Cena on the other hand needs to prove his naysayers wrong by evolving past his stale character. I don't give a damn if he's been booked in almost every main event at PPV's for 6 years straight....Cena needs to take his L as a sign that he's broken and can't go anywhere else wheras Vince has enough confidence in the Rock to put him over his current #1 mascot.

Means Cena's on shakier ground than we think. First Orton started getting wins over him, then Miz, then Cena. Then Kane until Vince decided he needed to protect him till WM. The age of Cena might finally be ending because people are seeing past the tacky shirts, 5 moves of doom and cardboard cutout character. That shows that the fans can't just be shovel fed whatever and eat it up like dolts.

Because lets face it, the fans chose the winner for Vince when he realised no matter how much the Rock's promo's got scuttled he was still the overwhelming favorite. When the guy there every week gets beaten in popularity by a guy that shows up once in a blue moon because he knows he can you know right then and there that Cena's stock value is plummeting big time.

That would make sense if WWE was heading out of the PG era, there would be no need for Cena to keep doing the super cena stuff, however if they stay PG then Cena is still the guy, he still owns the demographics that the wwe wants to exploit.

I have more respect for Cena after that match than any other point, the little respect I had for the rock went out the window

just a humble opinion :smt026

I personally believe he was pissed he had to job (irony at its finest) and that's why he looked so pissed off every time he talked about the Rock.
