are refs meant to 3 count faster if there is a surprise hold?

he missed him..

Jayson
29-03-2010, 02:43 AM
Impossible. No countout or DQ.

Maybe Shawn could randomly write up a contract that makes an agreement between WWE and HBK/Undetaker that the match was deemed a draw.

Then you could have a kickass contract signing with someone regulating it, and after harsh words have been said by both people, someone gets put through the table... fun.




Amazing moonsault!

MissKittyFantastico
29-03-2010, 02:45 AM
Oh God these near falls, just like last year..this is so awesome

Cue a big send off for HBK on Raw tomorrow night then.

Best match ever? Surely a contender.

MissKittyFantastico

I'd agree with him actually, that was amazing. They topped last years and that was definitely up there amongst the best ever.

MissKittyFantastico
29-03-2010, 03:02 AM
Don't really wanna see those two have another match now tbh

I want someone like Edge to end Taker's streak

King Gizzard
29-03-2010, 03:02 AM
Well its interesting Swagger didnt come out after the cena match, maybe they are bigging him up afterall


I don't see what major changes they can make in the drafts though

and I wonder if Batista will go back to smackdown,

well he must do considering hes still a smackdown superstar in effect

Stu
29-03-2010, 03:02 AM
ah we know that but this was a nice little "retirement match" anyone thinking we might get part 3 next year??????????????????
Nah they would never do it again. And nobody would buy into it. Taker's just not loosing that streak.

Well, roll on iMPACT.

it ll only take under two hours with all the crap taken out lol

Stu
29-03-2010, 03:06 AM
Michaels/Taker was good, absolutely slaughtered everything else on the card etc. but wasn't up to last year as you'd expect. Chunks of it were straight rehashes, and you had Michael Cole doing his best to ruin every single false finish in the whole thing. I thought the finish itself was terrific though, both the super Tombstone and Michaels forcing Taker to kill him properly. Good stuff. Also the moonsault spot was tasty. Both Michaels and Taker were still streets ahead of most of the card in terms of subtle mannerisms and dramatic facial expressions, which doesn't bode too well for the future.

bbfan1991
29-03-2010, 03:06 AM

True Smackdown is better but he's been stuck with Raw for a while now though:D.

Did no one else think Michaels missed Taker with the moonsault? :conf:

sure it was a hard hard move to perform but they still went on as if it hit him..and it barely hit his legs lol

Stu
29-03-2010, 03:08 AM
Bring on iMPACT and it's druggie invitational. WrestleMania season is over, your move TNA.

MissKittyFantastico
29-03-2010, 03:09 AM
I'll more than likely watch it back tomorrow at some point, hard to take everything in and type on here as well....at this point I'd give the whole thing 7/10...elevated a point by the Taker/HBK match at the end...but the rest didn't really fill me with as much excitement as I thought it would, MITB was good but wanted Christian to win, can't see Swagger getting much of a push regardless of the fact he won. Kofi would even have been better really.

Oh and Cole needs to be sacked. Just awful.

Stu

Yeah it definately missed. Then King tried to paper over it by hillariously saying that Taker's leg was broke.

Taker moved his legs out the way, I think he has legitmately hurt his knee tbh...and they always do that lol

7/10 from me too:).

King Gizzard
29-03-2010, 03:12 AM

codys attire,

Drew basically wearing a nappy

Kofi looking like a shetland pony

MissKittyFantastico
29-03-2010, 03:12 AM
MITB was a huge huge huge dissapointment

10 is 2 people too many, 8 is more than enough and Shelton is usually amazing in those matches and he didn't seem to do much? :/

Stu

MITB was a huge huge huge dissapointment

I liked it, to be honest. Poor choice of winner and it was full of very set up looking spots but it's been like that for years.

5/10 for the whole show. I will write a full review tommorow.

don't think i ll ever look at them wrestling sites again, stupid unreliable sources!

WWE reportedly contacted Earl Hebner in regards to being involved in tonight's bout between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon. The former WWE referee is currently working for TNA, though it remains unknown whether he's actually under contract to the organization. Dave Hebner is available though.

-- The University of Phoenix stadium roof is currently open and will remain so for tonight's show. The weather is currently 77 degrees and sunny with zero chance of precipitation, according to Weather.com.

Warning: The following contains a minor spoiler for tonight's WWE
WrestleMania XXVI Pay-Per-View:

-- Fans are currently lined up at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona waiting to get into the building. Several readers have sent in word that there are parachuters currently outside the building practicing landing techniques, so it appears there will be parachuters doing a special entrance at some point tonight, perhaps during a match.

It's the same crap on all the sites. Some of it is true, some of it is bollocks. Proper dirtsheets on the other hand are reliable, like F4W or The Wrestling Observer, but you have to pay to get it.

I wouldn't pay for any of them tbh, I did go through a phase of trawling all the news sites looking for the 'latest news' but found I was just spoiling it for myself tbh and most of it was bull**** anyway.

there was only 4 matches anyway aparently, and i think they got this one wrong..surely matt wasnt on the heel tag team..

* The show opens with the 10-man Money in the Bank ladder match tag team match. The teams were Drew McIntyre, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Kane & Dolph Ziggler vs. Evan Bounre, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Jack Swagger & Christian. McIntyre got the pin on Christian to win the match for their team when Christian wasn't looking as McIntyre tagged himself in for Dolph Ziggler. After the match, McIntyre got the ladder to climb to the briefcase. The other men came back in the ring and knocked him off.


probably got swagger and him mixed up

It was a bit of a let down in the end tbh, pretty much the same as last year standard wise in the end and last year was dire apart from Taker v HBK (and that was even with actually being there) same as this year pretty much. Quite an anti climax apart from the main event :(

And is the Rock still meant to be GH at some point? They need to knock it on the head tbh, even the US audience dont give a **** about half the hosts they have

Stu
29-03-2010, 03:43 AM
It's time to kill the guest host concept. I hate people pretending to be enthusiastic for Raw. I hate the office room being filled with adverts. Heck ... I hate Raw.

I also think WWE need to seriously consider getting out of these stadiums for WrestleMania. Could you imagine how much better tonights matches would have been in the Rosemont in Chicago? Or Madison Square Garden? Or a 20,000 seater in Philly?

They should definitely do MSG for WM30. Without fail I will be going to that one and MSG beats everywhere else for atmosphere hands down.

Can't see them going to smaller venues every year though tbh, not for Mania.

I just thought of something : How stupid was Swagger, in kayfabe, to not cash in his briefcase after Edge basically killed Jericho? On that note I'm going to ****ing bed.

It's been a pleasure.

I can't believe my WrestleMania highlight was Cody Rhode's boots.

they were some boots though:joker::joker::joker:

Copy and paste of my UKFF review :





- The stadium looked **** hot. You simply cannot fault the production team. Only Kevin Rudolph blaring over the PA system seemed to ruin the effect somewhat. And for such amazing screens, they displayed a green grey brick wall for 90% of the night. But I'm nitpicking, here. Randy Orton & Edge got a UFO in the ring.

- The tag match was a non event, I guess. Nice fast opener but nothing really to add beyond that. In that respect it reminded me of WrestleMania XXII's opener. I liked Miz's Neo coat and supervillian swagger to the ring.

- The Legacy match was a hell of a lot better than what I was expecting so no complaints from me. It had some nice spots, I felt it was booked the way it should have been booked, it showcased Orton and his fantastic facial expressions, and Cody has white Triforce boots.

- Now unless I stand corrected as I watch the show back as I type, the subsequent backstage segment was the only one of the night. It was certainly the worst WrestleMania comedy moment the WWE have ever tried. Singing woman is not hateable because she is meant to be hateable, she is hateable because she just genuinly is very, very, very annoying. Keep her off the screen in future, please.

- The Money In The Bank match is notorious at this stage for getting progressively worse every year and the 'E should really just can the concept. XXII is still the best for me, and though this was still enjoyable, it felt even more setty uppy than previous years. The additional two men added absoloutely nothing and served only to highlight how it's a match where everybody pretends to be dead on the outside while 2-4 men do a spot in the ring. Switch, rinse and repeat. And what the **** was Swagger doing winning it? And what the **** was Savannah doing announcing it? Is it really that vital to get everyone on the roster involved, regardless of how it may compromise the shows quality? Why was she on the mic? Why?

- Dolph Ziggler's really generic.

- A lot of them upper bleachers are really empty looking.

- I bet Vince is ****ing dying to use Betty Wagner in a storyline.

- Triple H and Sheamus put on a wrestling clinic. Nah, it was as good as I thought it was going to be, and I thought it was going to be a fun, compact bit of a slugfest. It wasn't bad but it wasn't WrestleMania. Good to see Sheamus get some offence and some nice reactions from the crowd. Triple H looked a bit teary eyed walking up the ramp, killing off any suspense of a heel turn later that night. Damn, The Game is really boring nowdays. I used to be a huge Triple H fan but the last few years have been a pointless blur.

- Okay, heres the thing, everyone was complaining about how people would be complaining about the next matches lenght but you know what? It really, really should have gotten a lot longer. Punk & Mysterio. A good match but it should have been so much more. It felt like the opening stages of a match, which then moved right into the closing spot. The match could have gotten an extra 30 seconds if Rey's entrance wasn't botched. I assume he got pissed with waiting and went up to the main door when the camera panned the sea of red T-Shirts, but according to some sourced he climbed out of the trap door. That's a pro.

- Bret and Vince had a WrestleMania catastrophe. I cant honestly remember anything as dissapointing in recent memory. The whole thing was booked into a drizzle of ***** that defies all logical explanation. You could have booked it one million other ways and they all would have been better. I don't know what else to say. Bruce ****ing Hart. I think someone called him Bret's son, who looks a bit like Owen. That's Bruce ****ing Hart. His about four years older than Bret. And he never removed his shades. Bruce ****ing Hart.

- Jericho and Edge was just fine. It took awhile to kick into gear but once it did it was a nice tidy match. I felt it could have gone on a bit longer, and I'm never goin to warm to face/tweener Edge. It's full on Triple H syndrome. I'm happy for Jericho to have gotten a regain on the grandest stage of them all. I hate Michael Cole.

- The feeling that if you shaved two thirds off Bret/Vince and cut the divas match, giving about 15 minuets, including time wasted on entrances, to put on CM Punk and Rey Mysterio will live with me for the rest of the night. I cannot believe Vicky Guerrero overpinned somebody.

- Cena & Batista was everything I expected. Slow start, hot finish. I didn't enjoy it because I don't like the twos work together and I don't like either man in general, but Batista is a lot more bareable as a heel and his single spotlight entrance was fantastic. Cena's still wearing bright orange T-Shirts. The front row smarkattack brigade was still on hand to piss every who has moved on from 2006 off. But hey, I can see the point they are making. It's been what ... seven years now? Turn the man heel at the least.

- Shawn Michaels comes out with a basic entrance for his big dance and Emotaker comes out to wibbly wobbly Psytrance lazers. As for the match ... can you say The Dark Knight? Great, amazing, fantastic match but I have an issue with people calling it the best ever, which a lot of people are. The best ever? Really? **** off. It was last years match with a spanner in the works and a much better, awesome finish. Hell In A Cell 97 is still where it's at. Seriously, out of all the matches in Pro Wrestling history the fact that some sites are calling this the best one ever makes me laugh. But that's not to sound negative. It was incredible. Even if Michael Cole ruined every false finish.

- A good WrestleMania that simply could not live up to it's own hype. Great performances were marred by silly time constraints and even sillier booking. And I have never appreciated Jim Ross more in my life. Bring on iMPACT.

6/10

Hopefully not. The guy is way past it. It's simply not a height he is getting to again, especially considering the huge backlog of main eventers in waiting.

I agree, kane should have been champ way before KOTR (i think it was king of the ring anyway) and he should have had it for more than 24 fcking hours.......ecw title reign was the best he's gonna have.

I'm just watching the replay and as Punk walks down to the ring cutting a promo, there's a little Irish contingent along the barrier holding out some booze looking severely shitfaced.

Kane's style has never been that risque anyway. He has virtually never had an injury.
