Any of you guys see it?
I thought it was the best WrestleMania in many years. The World and WWE title matches weren't all that great, but the rest of the card was top notch. HBK/Undertaker stole the show undoubtedly... although I didn't like seeing HBK kick out of the Tombstone. Matt and Jeff Hardy put on a good match... and the Money in the Bank match was great too. Would rather have seen Shelton or MVP win than Punk though.

No offense Gordon but I thought this was the weakest Wrestlemania I've seen in years. I thought they'd do a better job since it was the 25th anniversary
National Anthem - Since when is it America The Beautiful ? someone should set Howard Finkel straight on this
Tag Team Unification Match Bumped - WTF ?
Kid Rock Concert - He sucks and so did his mini concert.
Diva Battle Royal - Complete Garbage. You didn't even know who was in it because The WWE didn't even bother introducing any of them. Santino Marella winning this was stupid. Diva Battle = I have to take a piss break
Money In The Bank Match- I would have rather seen Christian win this than CM Punk for the second year in a row. Seeing Mark Henry in a ladder match was sort of funny
Undertaker vs HBK - Good match but knowing Undertaker wasn't going to lose sort of killed it for me
Mysterio vs JBL - JBL lost in 23 seconds and then quit that's great. JBL sucks as a wrestler and maybe now he'll go back to doing what he's good at being a commentator
Triple Threat Match - probably the best match of the night next to Undertaker vs HBK
Chris Jericho vs Snuka, Piper, and Steamboat Snuka looked like he belongs in a nursing home. Piper looked pretty pathetic. Steamboat looked like he could still be wrestling today.
Orton vs HHH - Flat and one of the worst Wrestlemania main events ever
This is just my two cents but keep in mind that I'm one of the few WWE fans on this board. You know if if i say its a waste of money it really must be bad

It's cool, Todd. My responses:
1. WWE has always done "America the Beautiful" in lieu of the national anthem
2. Kid Rock does suck and so did his concert
3. Diva battle royal did suck... couldn't even tell which divas were which a lot of the time. I wanted to see Sunny but I think you'd have to watch it in slow motion to pick her out of the crowd. I laughed out loud at Santina though.
4. I hate Christian but agree sort of, CM Punk is rather dull to me. Shelton Benjamin and MVP were the stars of the match IMO.
5. HBK and Undertaker was a great match... sort of overkilled it with too many "omg how did he ever kick out!" moments.
6. I dislike both JBL and Mysterio and actually count it as a plus that it was so short. Was happy to see him quit as well. And WWE is desperately in need of decent commentators.
7. Snuka WAS horrible. He looked like he could barely walk let alone do anything in the ring. Seeing Piper made me sad because he's in such terrible shape and should not be anywhere near the ring in a wrestling capacity. Steamboat totally was the man in this match... anything they were trying to do with Flair or that damn actor was totally eclipsed by what Steamboat did.
8. Main event = terrible.
Now that you pointed them out I can see more flaws there, but I still enjoyed the show and thought it was well worth the 3+ hours. There were some really weak moments but some pretty strong highlights as well ... Steamboat being at the top of the list.

Another thing that bothered was how they handled Chris Jericho. The WWE superstar of the year beats up a bunch of old gezzers on the biggest show of the year ? That's pretty poor and he deserves better than that
