Official WrestleMania XXVII Thread: 04/03/2011

[Commissioner Michaels]

The Granddaddy of them all...with spoilers.

It's that time again, ladies and gentlemen...the sports-entertainment spectacle above all others...the single most important night of the WWE calendar...bigger than the World Series, the World Cup, and World War II combined...WRESTLEMANIA XXVII!!!

This year's spectacle hails from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA on Sunday, April 3. Remember, nobody really calls it "Hotlanta," just like nobody from San Francisco says "Frisco," and no one from Philadelphia calls it a "Philly Cheesesteak." But I digress. This whole shindig will be hosted by a future Hall of Famer, former 7-time Champion, and alleged "movie star"...the Jabroni-beatin', pie-eatin', trail-blazin', eyebrow-raisin', throw down 50 bucks and see it live, cuz' he's only here to promote Fast Five, PEOPLE'S CHAMP (Dwayne) THE ROCK (Johnson)!

Personally I can't wait for WM! It really is a must see event!

My guess is that Undertaker's "streak" match will be the main event and close the night out... like it was last year. Lookin' foward to it!

Only reason it main evented was because it was HBK's last match.

However I don't see Miz vs Cena or Del Rio vs Edge closing Mania.

I'm in WrestleMania mode for sure, I'm really hyped for it this year. My main hope is that Christian gets in the World Title match somehow, to make it Del Rio vs Edge vs Christian.

Adding Christian to the World Title Match would be awesome but for some reason i dont see it happening

[Shane McMahon & Chris Jericho]

I think the HHH vs Taker match will be career vs streak again. Taker already beat HHH as part of the streak so why would he differ in his stipulation for giving HHH another chance at the streak like he did Shawn last year? I don't want to see it but I think it'll happen. This could be the last run for one of them and I wouldn't be surprised if it was HHH because he got that new management promotion awhile ago, and it'll be him, Steph and big Kevin running the show so he's probably looking for a way to finish off his wrestling career. Taker on the other would probably make next year's Mania the last one since he'll be hitting 20-0.

That's just my take on it and all I know is that I can't wait to be there for it!!!!!

I think it'll be Career vs Streak too with HHH taking the loss.

I also look for HBK to come out and hit the Sweet Chin Music on Undertaker when the ref is down or something earning HHH an agonizingly close 2.9999999999999 count.

They seem to think there will be a Money in the Bank match will be at Mania.

Although I'm kinda hoping for Mistico vs Rey

[njpunk]

Michael Cole w/ Jack Swagger vs Jerry Lawler, Special Guest Referee TBA has just been confirmed.

Stage looks epic.

[trentno1]

Indeed

["Second City Saint" C.M Punk]

Chatbox being down during Wrestlemania was a lame choice...

[Jay White]

Well it was an EPIC wrestlemania. I'd have to say the best one since 19. And man it is three times better enjoying it with a big group of people. Had alot of fun watching this year's wrestlemania, and as for what happened at the end of the show, I think I might end up having to get Extreme Rules as well.

P.S. Huge props to Miz and Cena for taking the crowd's attention back after the Taker/HHH match. Was a very hard task but they did it.

Also big props to the crowd for the massive boo of Drew Carey XD Priceless.

["Second City Saint" C.M Punk]

It wasn't as good as my favorites which are Wrestlemania 17, Wrestlemania 19, and Wrestlemania 22, it was leagues better than last years. Undertaker and Triple H stole the show, and Miz kicking out of the Attitude Adjustment was one of the greatest near falls in history, the entire crowd thought it was over and I'm pretty sure most everyone watching at home did too. Edge vs. Del Rio was a great opening match and I hope for a rematch at Extreme Rules where Del Rio we'll finally get the belt. C.M Punk vs. Orton was the other great match of the show, great story and psychology in this match. Punk and Orton have the best facial expressions in the business, Cole vs. Lawler went on way to long and I wanted my Stunner on Michael Cole. Rey vs. Cody was pretty great, but the crowd didn't care and that killed it for me. The rest of the show, meh who cares. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus shouldn't of been bumped.

Top 5 Matches:

5. Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes, **1/2 Stars
4. John Cena vs. The Miz, **3/4 Stars
3. Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio, *** Stars
2. C.M Punk vs. Randy Orton, *** Stars
1. Triple H vs. The Undertaker, ****1/2 Stars

[Shane McMahon & Chris Jericho]

I agree Punk on most of that. However, with being there live changes my perspective on it. I couldn't have said the Punk/Orton expressions better myself. Go back and look at Punk nailing that last RKO on Punk, and you could just see his face... He knew they nailed it perfectly just by looking at how he reacted, Oh and I was feeling the Cody match, I'm so glad he beat Rey. He deserved to win and I think he's a real main event heel now. So much happened this past week and I'm just like wow. I enjoyed WM a lot and during the Taker and Miz Matches.... they had their moments of "It's over" anyhow I might post some pics later.
