Can anyone give me a writeup of what happened and why it was terrible. Why is everyone mad

Shield won the 6 man... but Show turned instead of Orton.

Mark Henry won and Ryback didn't botch a post-match Shellshock.

Hell No retained the tag titles. Bryan got redemption.

FAAAAAAAN-DAAAAAAAAN-GO beat Jericho.

Del Rio beat Swagger, no cashin.

Taker beat Punk.

HHH beat Lesnar.

Cena beat Rock.

:cornetteface:

 

[jobber]

triple h is dead

 

[JehutyRunner]

Why is CM Punk not the headliner?

Cena-Punk for the WWE title in a 60 min Ironman match at XXX in the main event. Just you wait.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

So, signs of the night?

I saw, "If Cena wins we complain about it online."

And, "Cena wins LOL."

My faves.

 

[Razorskin]

Can someone post results

Shield Won
Hell No Won
Fandango Won
Taker Won
Shovel Man Won
Cena Won

 

[Dinokill]

I thought Brock VS HHH was very good. Second best match after Taker/Punk.

It'd be better if they went 60 minutes trying to get one pin than 60 minutes with the most pins.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Well we gotta wait till after Raw tomorrow to judge on #heel or #face but I feel more confident than ever.

 

[LiquidSolid]

This post-show is better than the actual show.

I liked the one on the corner that was the PINKEST SIGN EVER.

LOL. Next year it will be Cena versus Rock 3. Once in a lifetime part 3. Tie breaker edition.

 

[jobber]

some post mania match

in front of a crowd of 10 people

Confident in what? There is no way in hell with the way WM just ended Cena will go heel tomorrow night.

 

[Alucard]

I have to give credit to Brock/HHH. That match actually felt like a Mania match and had some unique spots. I dug it despite the buildup being pretty bland.

Rock/Cena was utterly forgettable aside from Cena teasing the people's elbow. That was a really cool spot. Outside of that, the ending was bland, and the crowd went mild.

Taker/Punk was easily the match of the night and an early match of the year candidate.

I liked the sign that said "I'm cold" for it's simplicity.

 

[CrowdChant]

Cena won't turn heel. They tried to turn Austin heel years ago by having him beat up on women (in the ring as well as in real life). He was still getting mega pop.

They have learned their lesson. Plus, why risk lost merch sales to the kiddies and the girlies?

CENA FOREVER FACE.

I was partial to "#PORK" myself. Updating a classic for this modern social media era.

JR is full of shit with that comment about it being one of the most exciting Wrestlemania's in a long time.

LOL who you fooling? It's going to be a throwaway RAW with some jobber coming out to challenge Cena which ends in a main event TAG TEAM MATCH PLAYA of inconsequence.

 

[Penguin]

Team Face!
So Im curious how things came off on the show. Did Swagger get a proper intro or did it start with him in the ring? Was odd, he just snuck down the ramp with no fanfare.
Also was the elimination of the mixed tag explained?

Confident in #face, like my avatar says! You're right~

I don't think Cena is ever going to have the problem that Austin had of "the crowd liked him too much".

Cena is not Stone Cold.

 

[Officerrob]

But as a whole, the show was light years better than the borefest that was last years WM.

No

STOP

 

[UberTag]

The "wait until RAW" stip is retarded.
Should have only applied in a situation where there was some fuzziness about Cena's allegiance.
You don't get more #FACE than tonight.

We win, Sunflower! WE WIN!

 

[bangai-o]

since HHH won, that means he still gets to wrestle.

Must create thousands of crying Cena avatars!

 

[superpickleman]

Raw should be pretty good tomorrow if last year was any indication.

 

[redmetal86]

So, will Cena change the belt back?
And will there be a tie breaker match at Wrestlemania XXX?

Cena doesn't get pop as a baby face.

Its like the anti Money in the Bank 2011.

Meanwhile in Japan:

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Meanwhile in Japan:

That's a real champion. Look at New Japan's title holders and tell me each one of them isn't incredible.

 

[thepotatoman]

The surprises for me were Henry beating Ryback because why would they want to bury Ryback more than he already has been? Fandango over Jerico only because its too early to know or care about where Fandango fits in WWE's plans, and HHH over Lesner, because that is both uninteresting in both the future and the present to anyone.

Henry's and Fandango's finishes were both so damn awkward and dirty that it kind of counteracted any goodness that might have come from an actual surprise there.

 

[Pavaloo]

I can't believe people are saying this year was better than last year. I really can't. This year was just so damn bad.

 

[Danny 117]

LOL

 

[Data West]

Meanwhile in Japan:

Doesn't even have to be Japan. Bully Ray's heel character is FAR more interesting than this.

That's right, Bubba Ray is a more interesting reason to watch a show than the clods WWE gives the titles to.

 

[Dave Meltzer]

So what Cen avatar do I need? Grinning Cena or crying Cena?

#heel

Cena in tears, you've probably got a day to think about it.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

60 minutes of back and forth finishers.

Can we have finishers actually mean something again? Please?

 

[sf2fanatic]

I like the Fandango sign. Fandango wrestles I riot

 

[hlhbk]

One of the few saving graces tonight: HBK still sells better than anyone in professional wrestling.

 

[DiscoJon]

Guys, with the exception of Cesaro, aren't all the other titles now held by faces?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Well, that was...boring.

It wasn't bad, not by any means. There was some perfectly fine matches tonight.

It was just...predictable. I got every single one of my predictions right tonight (sans the preshow IC title match), and the only other match I had doubts about was cut for time constraints. And that's not a good thing, I think. The WWE has always prided itself on "You never know WHAT will happen" but everything tonight had been expected for months. And now, the WWE has a problem, because where do you go from here? You've destroyed all of Cena's viable challengers, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, and Brock are all part time, Punk is possibly taking time off. I was expecting an Orton heel turn but that didn't happen, instead Big Show turned again despite being a heel already technically.

 

[Kyoufu]

Cena's title reign is going to be so bad.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

WWE has cemented its place as the Miller Lite of wrestling shows.

Probably not considering Dave Meltzer (the real one) praised that finisher spot fest.
