the show sucked until Punk vs Taker...they stole the show. HHH / Lesnar was good, and Cena / Rock put on a suprisingly less sucky match than last year....
they fucked up THREE golden moments for Ziggler to cash in...one when Del Rio won...the other 2 were after Cena won...
Rock could of Rock Bottom'd him instead of the handshake....than BAM! Ziggler comes out and cashes in-totally shattering Cena's "redemption" moment creating his own WrestleMania moment....
The second time was on the stage-before the fireworks.....Ziggler cracks both Rock and Cena with the briefcase....drags Cena into the ring...bell rings...Zig Zag...bam..new champion...and wrestle mania moment...

Ziggers briefcase is for the World Title, not the WWE title. He can't cash in against Cena or Rock lol.

Quick review, with added retrospect... Wade Barrett vs The Miz - Nothing match with nothing build, which was only booked to build on Miz's WM "streak" of him winning matches at WM26, 27, 28 and 29...which conveniently airbrushes out the fact he lost at WM25. Switching the belt back to Barrett the next night was a smart idea, as Miz sucks as a face. The Shield vs The Allstars - Anyone else notice The Shield are getting less offence in their matches? Compare the matches at TLC and EC to the Raw match or this, it's like night and day. Other than the right winners, the best part of the match was the audible "Let's go Ambrose" chants. Oh, and the irony that anyone streaming WM missed the match as WWE can't stream PPVs worth shit - so if ROH is "bush league" for a three minute glitch at Supercard of Honor, what is WWE for missing 15 minutes of WM? Mark Henry vs Ryback - Funny thing is, despite being the match I didn't want to see, the build was actually probably the best of the lot. Terrible match, odd finish. Team Hell No vs Ziggler & Langston - Trying to remember how they got the shot, given Ziggler & Carlton Banks never teamed up before the match was announced. AmDrag nearly getting the win right off the bat was smart booking, but after that it felt like a Raw match. Stillm, the right result in the end as it led to Ziggler cashing in on Rawstlemania the next night - although The Shield should've had the title shot. Chris Jericho vs Fandango - A pretty poor way of getting Fandango over, to be honest, as this match jobbed his finisher and didn't make him look remotely competitive (and no amount of people singing the I Dream of Jeannie theme can say otherwise) Fandango has legs as Johnny Curtis is so committed to the character, but this match didn't make him like people are saying. Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger - Christ, Swagger gets the jobber entrance even with a WM entrance (and the first WM entrance of the night) The problem is both guys miss something - they're both solid but both lack any dynamic personality, with ADR's lack of intensity particularly undermining the feud. They went out and had a good match (although the match on Rawstlemania was better), but it felt like a TV main event and nothing more. CM Punk vs Undertaker - Finally, a match at WrestleMania that was a WrestleMania-level match! Hated the build-up, as WWE used Paul Bearer's real-life death as a cheap heat device rather than build a heated feud that they could've done if they had halfway competent writers, but the match lived up to the hype. Trip H vs Brock Lesnar - Aich, this was bad - doubly so to anyone who watched the Nakamura/Sakuraba faux-MMA match at Wrestle Kingdom 7 (and if you haven't, here it is) or the Cole/O'Reilly match at Best in the World last year. Also, what good does triple H do? It's not like he needed to be kept strong for a future match, as he came out of retirement to put his career on the line in a pointless stipulation for this match. John Cena vs The Rock - Last time I saw that many finisher kickouts was the last time I actually paid to watch Gabe Sapolsdouche's love of false finishes without the ability to book false finishes properly. Also, rather than the handshake and the realization we're due another never-ending Cena title reign (his sixth since the start of 2011 - so much for having a poor three years, eh?), if he responded with a belt shot that would've given a WM moment to go out on, rather than a Raw moment that WM was full of.
