Interesting question.
I just watched the triple threat main event from Wrestlemania 20 where HBK, Hunter and Benoit stole the show by putting on a 5 star quality match with a surprising finish. Now based on that, I think Angle, Mysterio and Orton could do the same come Wrestlemania 22. Let's look at some factors:
Kurt Angle: He is the best pure athlete in the WWE and can step it up five notches if he has to. He's small enough to work with a cruiserweight, yet has enough bodily mass to grapple with big guys like the Taker.
Rey Mysterio: His fast pace and lightning quick manuvers will keep this match interesting from start to finish. He has worked with Angle before at SummerSlam, and from what i remember, that was one hell of a way to open the show.
Randy Orton: I like this man's methodical, slow and deliberate approach in the ring.
Now given a good amount of time, three unique styles, and an ending with a bit of a twist may make this a match of the year candidate.

I definitely think, if given the time, Foley Vs. Edge will be the match of the night. I think it's been the best built up feud for the PPV. Foley has really been amazing and i'm actually not sure who is gonna win. I'm hope Foley doesn't disappear straight after Mania.
MITB should be good, but not as good as last year. My main problem is Finlay. I don't think he has the right dynamic for this type of match. Lashley too, but i think he'll be better suited to it than Finlay. I would replaced Finlay with Birchill, he would have done some amazing shit in this match. The Raw side of the match looks fine to me. Carlito, probably should have been in this one too. I think he deserves it more than RVD, who is a nothing more than a sloppy spot monkey.
The Triple Threat should be good as long as Kurt is the forefront of the match. Rey and Orton should alternate over who gets kicked to the outside, because the two of them or only adequate in the ring. Rey has such a limited moveset, i honestly don't think he's that great; he needs a great worker to pull of a good match nowadays. But i will be fucking pissed off if the Cena Vs. HHH is the last match of the night. Rey won the Rumble and should main event the show, even if i'm not his biggest fan. I definitely think Angle deserves to be in the real main event, he has worked his ass off over the last year. If the Raw title match is the last on the card, it'll prove that HHH is nothing more than a spoiled fuck with power backstage.
I also think the US Title match should be pretty good, and I'm looking forward to the Women's Title match because it's been one of the better storylines on Raw and the two of them can work.

But i will be fucking pissed off if the Cena Vs. HHH is the last match of the night. Well then prepare to be pissed off. I think WWE wants to end the night on a good note (fans leaving happy); I honestly think they do not have a winner decided at this point. They may wait to see how the crowd reacts during the match, and then it will be up to Hunter and Cena to call the match. And if the WWE is serious about "making it up" to Orton, would you really want the biggest show of the year to end with Randy winning the title? |

So, you guys had your own wrestling match? Sweet.
Anyways, here's my opinions:
1. Kane & Big Show vs. Masters & Carlito --- I thought this was a great opening match. Though it did drag a couple of times, it was actually a decent match, and a lot better than I expected for what they had to work with. *1/2
2. MITB Ladder Match --- I thought this match was good. It certainly didnt top last years, but what do you expect when you throw Flair, Finlay, and Lashley in there? Shelton Benjamin was AGAIN the MVP this year. Finlay actually adapted quite well. I was glad RVD won, it made the match a lot better since it left you (well, me) happy. ***
3. Benoit vs. JBL --- This was a decent match. It wasn't anything grand, but it was good for a match containing JBL. I thought the build up was well done, and the ending was also. **
4. Edge vs. Foley --- I will have to say that this was the match of the night. The ending was superb, and was one of the best stunts I've ever seen pulled. This match met my expectations, and was one of the few matches to exceed it. I knew it'd be great, and Edge really shined through for being "hardcore". ****
5. Booker T vs. Boogeyman --- Embarrasing & a waste of Booker's time. The segment before the match was golden. 1/2
6. Trish stratus vs. Mickie James --- This was a very very good women's match. I thought they worked well with each other, the crowd was into it. The only thing I have to criticize is the ending. The botched Stratusfaction (which Trish saved with playing off her knee injury) threw the ending off, and Mickie's chick kick didn't come off well and got no reaction, but it got the pin. **1/2
7. Undertaker vs Mark Henry --- I didnt think it was as bad as I thought it would be. The Undertaker's dive over the casket was great. Still wasnt' a good match at all, but wasn't a complete waste like I would have predicted. *1/2
8. Shawn Michales vs. Vince McMahon --- Mr. Wrestlemania pulled it out again, somehow managing to carry the 60 year old Vince to a pretty good match. It was well done, and it capped off their feud perfectly. Getting the see the DX Michaels was a great trip back down memory lane, and the audience was totally into it. The elbow drop was great, and nothing was better than watching a helpless Vince take a superkick that you knew was coming. Shane kissing Vince's ass was great too. This is why it's WW"Entertainment". ***1/2
9. Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton vs. Mysterio --- When this match started, I thought it was going to steal the show. I thought it'd put the triple threat from Mania 20 to shame. Granted, it wasn't given enough time, but the beginning was great. Great spots, great action, and then it just dropped off. Everything else was just "average". This was a huge let down for me. **
10. Pillow Fight --- Next. 1/2
11. HHH vs. Cena --- I hated both of their entrances. Cena's was more embarrasing than HHH's, and HHH's costume was cool, but it just didn't suit him, IMO. Though, both men could've came out in pink leather, and after seeing Mysterio trying to be Tatanka, it would've been ok. The match was terrible, IMO. Especially for the time it was given. It was all HHH, and then only thing Cena did for the first 15 minutes was throw punches, and his lack of a moveset shined through. I really thought the crowd would make this like Rock/Hogan, but Rock and Hogan actually delivered a decent match. HHH has carried many people who weren't that good, but he couldn't carry Cena. ** 1/2
NOTE: Hmmm, HHH and Michaels both payed homage to DX? Coincidence? Maybe, but it got my attention.

Overall this was a great show. Yes the matches were not the best in the world and an average TNA PPV would be better for matches. But as a 'Show' it was the best it could be.
Ok prepare to bitch. Because tonight, I believe Mark Henry was good. People stop the whole 'lets hate Henry cause it's cool' If you watch the taker match carefully you will see he did nothing wrong and IMO had a great night.
MITB shocked me as it was decent.
The triple threat was way too short, and had a bad ending.
I have a feeling HHH will win the title on Raw, or the WWE are trying to be 'smart' and keep the title on Cena. Because he is getting the most boo's in the company!

People hate Mark Henry because he sucks, Simz. I didn't watch wrestlemania, and I can say with certainty that the match blew.
So, someone post some spoilers. I wanna know if I should bitch about that greedy cunt H, or at the WWE for letting Cena spend another month as the worst champion ever.

Yeah, i saw that too. It was awesome. One of the highlights of the show was just seeing Punk. As for the show. It was better than i expected. I think as a show it flowed pretty well. But there were no outstanding matches that you would expect from Wrestlemania. Money in the Bank was good but was just full of spots and not very good ones. Doesn't compare to last year's. Foley Vs. Edge stole the show, and i knew it would. These two are absolutely awesome. Really put their bodies in the line. JBL shouldn't have won. It really makes Benoit look bad. He loses his US title so quickly, all the time. World Title match was great quality stuff. Did you notice how Angle was in the match for 90% of it, while one of the other ones was thrown out of the ring. He was the MVP. He should have won it. I really want him to win it back soon. Rey's entrance was pretty cool. His attire was weird though. I have a feeling it has something to do with his heritage or Mexico, or something else for all i know. The match would have been upto par with Angle/ Taker is it was given more time, but WWE thought a pillow fight was more important than the match that should have been the main event.  Cena's and HHH's entrances were kinda lame, but HHH's was better. His new entrance theme was lame as well as the video for it (looked way amateur-ish). The whole point of Cena's entrance was so that the Chicago fans could relate to him, but that plan failed. But as i said, very cool to see CM Punk on WWE TV. The match wasn't great but it the atmosphere was amazing. It was great how they really emphasized the fact that HHH was the better wrestler by having him put loads of holds on Cena and then kick him to the side or something to that effect. I don't HHH should have had to tap out. Cena should have somehow managed to use a weapon with turning heel and hit the Fireman's Carry for the win. I was actually fine with Cena winning because he needs it more than HHH does. HHH has had WM main event victories, so he doesn't need another. Decent PPV for WWE. But doesn't live upto the other 'Manias. |

Thats a bad joke truthfully. Cena the Nazi? Why his this? Or do you hate Cena because of some whack-ass, badly made picture you found online and decided to go "lolz diz sunds funni s0 im gunna yuse itt"?

I heard Cena only drives in Volkswagens, and on his sparetime he desecrates synagogues, it's probably not true though.

Why is your name hbksexyboy619 then?
How does Rey suck? Granted he's not the best on the roster and he shouldn't have won the title, he doesn't suck. He's a lot more talented than JBL or John Cena was and does deserve a run with the title. I just would have prefered him to have won the US title first and cemented himself as a main eventer. Kurt Angle worked his ass off for the last 2 years or so, battling injuries, and so he deserved a long title reign, to prove that he is the best ever.
