Additonal Thoughts On Wrestlemania 27

It’s been a week since Wrestlemania XXVII electrified the Georgia Dom and I have to say it was a wild, crazy and fun weekend. From Wrestlemania Axxess to the actual event at the Georgia Dome, it was a weekend I will never forget.

So I wanted to take this opportunity to grade Wrestlemania because there are large majority of people thought it wasn’t that great. One of my good friends, Variable-Y has a wrestling blog and you can read his opinion on Wrestlemania here.

He thought it was a good show and gave it a B+. I will also give the same grade because while the order of matches was not favorable, the matches themselves were solid and the production was top-notched.

The best match of the night had to be Triple H vs. The Undertaker. I think everyone who was watching knew that Undertaker was going to win, but by the way things were going, it looked as if Triple H was going to come away with a win. Both superstars are veterans and they put on a performance that nobody will soon forget.

Other matches that were good were Randy Orton vs. CM Punk, Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes. However, they should have made the Edge-Del Rio match a little longer and it should not have been the first match of the night. That made zero sense.

The worst match of the night had to be Jerry the King Lawler vs. Michael Cole. It wasn’t the fact it was a bad match, it was the fact that there was so much hype surrounding the match and it did not live up to expectations Cole’s wrestling ability is limited, but the match got dull midway through and the ending could have been better.

And I have to mention the John Cena vs. The Miz contest for the WWE title. It was a solid match, but I think everyone was expecting to see The Rock come out to determine the outcome of the match. He did and he gave Cena the Rock Bottom and Miz was able to retain the title. Some people thought the end of the match was predictable, but what else could they do? Besides, they had little time left to do anything else so the end of that match works in more ways than one.

Overall, it was a good night for the WWE. It wasn’t the greatest Wrestlemania, but I did not expect it to be the best of all-time. Sunday was a time for WWE Superstars and Divas to perform in their biggest show of the year. That doesn’t mean the show is automatically going to be great just because they are performing in front of 72,000 fans at the Georgia Dome and millions of fans across the globe.

But it was a good show and they should make their way back to Atlanta in the next 5-10 years. And if they do come back to the ATL, trust me when I say I will be there and take part in all the festivities.
