\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, 18 seconds?\u00a0 Did management not see how over Daniel Bryan was with the crowd?\u00a0 I lost my shit when I saw the entire front row of people with the\u00a0YES!<\/strong>\u00a0signs, and I had high hopes for an entertaining opening match.\u00a0 But for the second year in a row, apparently Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan just isn\u2019t meant to be a Wrestlemania match.\u00a0 It was completely removed from the card last year, and this year it\u2019s made the opening match, and ended in 18 seconds.\u00a0 Kind of absurd, and it makes me wonder what Daniel Bryan did to get such an unceremonious job.<\/span><\/p>\n

But whatever.\u00a0 In spite of the Daniel Bryan jobbing, Wrestlemania was still an okay show.\u00a0 Granted, it\u2019s never been about the show as much as it\u2019s always been about the gathering of friends, but when I think back to the show as a whole, it wasn\u2019t the best, but it wasn\u2019t terrible either.\u00a0 As always, it\u2019s more fun to analyze the crowd, pick out entertaining signs, and criticize the people in the front row than it is to watch the wrestling sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My predictions though, man, did I whiff on most of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WRONG \u2013 Daniel Bryan jobs to Sheamus in 18 seconds.\u00a0 Still baffled to why this was, I guess we\u2019ll find out in coming weeks.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. WRONG \u2013 Kane beats Randy Orton.\u00a0 I seriously did not see this coming, since Kane is the consummate company guy that always does the job.\u00a0 But I was pleasantly surprised, because Randy Orton, well sucks.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. RIGHT \u2013 Big Show beats Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Title.\u00a0 One, there was no way Big Show was losing this, after the months of torment over his years of jobbing.\u00a0 Two, Cody\u2019s ready to step into the main event picture, likely to be amongst the first of Sheamus\u2019 challengers.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. RIGHT \u2013 Maria Menounous and Kelly Kelly beat Beth Phoenix and Eve.\u00a0 The best part of this match was demanding everyone present with a Twitter account to suddenly make #skidmarks #wrestlemania trend world wide<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. RIGHT \u2013 Undertaker defeats Triple H, goes 20-0 at Wrestlemania.\u00a0 Despite my beliefs that The Kliq would be the rightful ones to screw Undertaker out of the STEAK, it\u2019s really surprise that the Undertaker won either.\u00a0 If there has been anyone over the span of the last 20 years that could possibly command and have more respect of the entire pro wrestling industry, it\u2019s the Undertaker, and the elder statesman who long preceded both Triple H and Shawn Michaels (his singles emergence), deservingly comes out on top.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. RIGHT \u2013 Team Johnny beats Team Teddy\u2019s troup of jobbers plus Booker T.\u00a0 Disappointing, was not enough Otunga.\u00a0 Gratifying, was correctly predicting the involvement of Eve in the outcome of the match, and seeing the overrated Zack Ryder doing the job, to the Miz.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. WRONG \u2013 CM Punk beats Chris Jericho, retains WWE Title. \u00a0I\u2019m glad I was wrong.\u00a0 I\u2019m kind of over Chris Jericho, and he would have been a boring champion.\u00a0 Now the door is wide open for him to get burnt out again by SummerSlam, although I\u2019m betting he gets another run as Intercontinental Champion, and\/or feuds with Sheamus or Randy Orton on his way out.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. WRONG \u2013 The Rock beats John Cena.\u00a0 Now this was the biggest whiff of them all, considering I would have legitimately bet money that it would have gone the other way around.\u00a0 I guess either the WWE felt way too many people though like I did, and really wanted to turn the screws, or they legitimately have a grandiose idea that is bigger than Wrestlemania in the works, that really needs both The Rock and John Cena.\u00a0 Sadly, I\u2019m led to believe that it\u2019s the former, and that within the next two months, John Cena will get some credibility-killing measure of redemption against The Rock, and The Rock will vanish after SummerSlam, likely along with Chris Jericho\u2019s next burnout.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Overall, I was a cool .500, going 4-4 in my predictions.\u00a0 But the magnitude of getting the Rock\/Cena one wrong probably tips it to an overall loss, at least how I see it.\u00a0 I\u2019m still baffled by it, considering The Rock winning serves no purpose to the company unless he is legitimately going to stick around for a significant amount of time, which I don\u2019t believe he will since he\u2019s a movie star.\u00a0 And I\u2019m also still baffled at the super-job that Daniel Bryan had to do, and it makes me sad \u2013 the more Daniel Bryan\u2019s gimmick fades, the sooner there will be less and eventually no more AJ Lee on television.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
