Man, Callihan vs Sasaki brought a TON more tension than Rock vs Cena.
F*ckin' amateurs!

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Taker vs Triple H was everything WrestleMania should be, a huge spectacle, an epic clash.
Amazing stuff, so much drama.

Wrestlemania 28
HHH vs The Undertaker- A gripping , hard hitting war that delivered . Drama was great and both men (and Shawn) put in a very good preformance. A few minor flaws , it didn't even need the cell at all did it? Still a great match. ****1/2
Chris Jericho vs CM Punk- Nice back and fourth match with some innvoative spots and counters. It just felt like it was missing something. Just seemed to fall flat in places , the dead crowd didn't help though. ****
John Cena vs The Rock - I didn't know what to expect going into this really. We got a hot crowd , a good big match feel but the match it's self just lacked a lot of substance. Wasn't bad by any means , but feel way short of what the match should of been . It should of been a spectacle . ***3/4

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Taker v Triple H ****1/2. thought this was so well thought out and exectuted. It was story driven but I enjoyed it immensely. I thought last years was great but this was clearly better.
Punk v Jericho ***1/2. started great but it fell away a bit after that. The counters down the stretch whilst you could see coming were still well done. I expected these two to probably to under deliver and it was pretty much what I expected.
Cena v Rock ***1/4. Again started well, but the structure fell apart when Cena began wrestling more like the baby face when clearly the crowd weren't going to cheer him. Rock having the better of it for a sustained period in the middle of the match threw the structure of the match and as such the crowd weren't into the Rock on offense during that period. The finish was unexpected with an out for Cena.

What was your favorite part? The slow, plodding beginning? The fact the Cell didn't matter at all? All the constant camera zooms so you could get POV facial expressions and hear the wrestlers yelling at each other? The group hug at the end? Shawn Michaels' terrible B-movie horror acting? Triple H's cheesy Castle Greyskull playset entrance?
It was WWE main event masturbation at its finest.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Yes, the Cell was a MacGuffin. And yes, the post-match mutual respect love-in jarred irreconcilably with all the sledgehammer & chair shots. But that's the WWE for you & if you expected anything significantly different, you were probably wasting your time & money on Mania. In pure sports entertainment terms Taker vs. HHH was a masterpiece borne out by the fever pitch crowd reactions.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
I think the false finish after the Sweet Chin Music/Pedigree combo was the height of that match. It did also have some decent psychology in making a lot of homages to the previous bout last year. That being said, it was more about the story than the wrestling & I'm just not a fan of that. I mean, I like a story being told in the ring as much as the next guy, but I don't literally need the wrestlers yelling the story to me as if I'm too stupid to get it unless they say it verbally.
