WWE Wrestlemania XXVI 3/28

  • Chesapeake
    I just caught the play by play here on Ohio Chatter, a little studdering but it was free.

    looked like a great video on WWE.com, didn't have any audio though :(

    I thought it was a pretty good wrestlemania.... missed Sheamus/HHH and Punk/Mysterio because of internet feed issues, but other than that everything I saw was pretty good. Dont' understand Swagger winning MITB and didn't like Cena beating Big Dave w/ the STFU, but overall it was a great show.

    HBK/Taker made it worth it

    If anybody wants to know what the job of a professional wrestler is, watch the last 10 minutes of the Taker-Shawn match.

    they had the building on the verge of exploding throughout the entire contest last night....

    ^^ Just shows that in their mid to late 40's, those 2 are the best in the business. They put on a different match from last year with new twists and turns that told a great story. As a fan you couldn't ask for anything more than the effort those two put out last night.

    Another classic moment was after Cena beat Big Dave, there were guys wearing "We Hate Cena" shirts in the front row.

    Cena goes over to the guys and stands infront of them, holding up the belt with a big smile.

    ^^^I'd like to see Cena turn into the Rock a little a bit with everyone saying he sucks.

    John Cena is the best!!

    What he said. That briefcase is high up, the ladder is shaky, and the guy is going to get the push of his life. It is very understandable he would have difficulties getting the briefcase.

    Agree with this, minus the Cena part of course :)

    Rey Mysterio had trouble with his entrance. As he normally does, he was supposed to be shot into the air through a trap door (probably same one Undertaker used) but it failed. He crawled out of the space, but it wasn't shown on television.

    Manny Ramirez was in the front row, as the Dodgers are finishing up their spring training.

    The event grossed $5.8 million, the most ever for a show at Phoenix Stadium.

    There were more fans at Wrestlemania 26 than Super Bowl 42, which featuring the New York Giants against the then-undefeated New England Patriots.

    when you can seat people on the floor this becomes possible

    besides HBK and Taker, who's entrances always get you going, Cena's was the best of the night by far
  • KnightXC1
    They screwed up a few things with entrances last night. Kofi's pyro messed up, Kane didn't have pyro yet the noise went off, Rey didn't get launched. Sure Vince was not thrilled about it.
  • End of Line
    ^^^^I wondered why Rey's entranance looked odd.
  • darbypitcher22
    For all of that thought it was still a HUGE stage....
  • KnightXC1
    ^^ Yes it was. Stage at 23 in Detroit looked monstrous in person but was probably not as big as it was this year.
  • Big Red Monster
    This was a pretty good show from top to bottom.

    I didnt know if Undertaker and Shawn could do it 2 years in a row, but they proved me wrong.

    Could have done without the diva match and gave that time to Punk and Mysterio.

    Edge and Jericho was good as was Batista and Cena

    At points, the heels were getting just as big a pop as the faces, if not bigger.
