The Official Wrestlemania XXVII Thread

Definitely the best HHH match in years (probably since the Batista WM match or the Flair TV match).

You sir are clearly a HHH mark.

The match was fine, I'm not asking for my money back, but it was hardly great. It was a typical HHH match - boring. The only thing that made it interesting was HHH's kicking out of the tombstone and UT kicking out of the pedigree. Without those scripted moments, this was just another match.
Hell, even UT botched his yearly WM jumping through the ropes moment.
I don't begrudge him for it - he's rusty. But to call this an even remotely great match is ridiculous.

I am hardly a HHH mark, hell, I hate the guy, but I thoroughly enjoy both HHH-Undertaker matches. Nothing here quite got me like HHH bouncing a sledgehammer off 'Taker's dome in their first one, but whatever.

 

[dave]

I agree with dave! On a wrestling related topic!

It bothers me too, Kenzo Doz Kanzaki.

Taker botched that spot in the first HBK match and nearly killed himself. Might be time to retire that one.

Anyway, I though the first HBK match was far superior. I didnt see the second, so I cant say.

 

[EmpireWF]

LMAO @ calling me a HHH mark.

I'm not a big fan of his but I recognize his good matches (though they've been few and far between in recent years).

Reading over the WON board, it's also love or hate it there. Interesting.

Wonder whether Taker will call it a career after this match...I assume he'll take time off and return later in the year or next year for his final match to go 20-0.

You have yet to see Taker-HBK II?

What is wrong with you, Lanza2Lame.

That wasn't Taker's fault. It was Jimmy Snuka's son's fault. He didn't catch him.

The second HBK/Taker match was better than the first IMO.

The Undertaker has earned the right to just doing an odd match every year before WM. He's paid his dues ... and the streak is a main event WM match.

He should get to 20-0 and call it a career. IMO, the best 20-0 match would be vs. Brock Lesnar.

Havent gotten around to it. I have a download sitting in a file, ready to go, but im never in the mood.

KENTA turned heel, give me a break, NOAH is eating up my time.

 

[EmpireWF]

Brock isn't wrestling anytime soon dave.

As long as his body is able to, I agree, 20-0 is likely the end.

Vince agrees.

He should put someone over at some point. Nobody really worthy right now, though.

For the right amount of money, he'll do gay porn with The Undertaker (and still lose).

You have to try real hard not to see at the very least, the best the WWE has to offer.

That is just being negligent for the sake of stubbornness.

 

[EmpireWF]

No way Taker should lose at WM to anyone. The one guy would be John Cena but that serves no purpose. Just let the guy have another awesome match, put him in the HOF and move on.

Dana White won't let him. He can't do pro wrestling unless the UFC gives him permission (which is why he didn't do this WM).

How long does Lesnar's UFC deal run?

I have to admit larry, I barely watch the WWE anymore. I don't want to be the elitist puro/indy guy, but its the truth. I used to force myself, but at some point I just stopped wasting my time watching shit I dont like. The older you get, the less time you have to watch this goofy shit. So I spend that time watching stuff I know i'll enjoy.

I was just starting to get into Superstars the last few weeks, and now they are cancelling it. I couldnt even tell you when/where to see Smackdown. Real talk. I record RAW, but usually delete without watching.

HBK/Taker II will get watched though, maybe i'll fire it up later.

Longer than Taker's remaining active wrestling career.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

One or two more ugly one sided loses, and Lesnar will be sapped of his MMA drawing power. Don't ever say never in this business.

Agree completely.
And he'd make way more as UT's 19-0 opponent than as a mediocre UFC fighter.

Even as an elitist puro/indy guy (I've had those tendencies in my day, especially when I had a home grown product in my back yard), you still, as a wrestling fan, are in the loop on things WWE, which means you know what the better material they have going on for them...if you say you aren't, I'd call you a liar. Not seeing HBK-Taker II is just negligent, if even for the hype surrounding it.

How can I take the Top 100 seriously now?

A year and a half of reading...for nothing.

I am sad faced.
