Ha, I can actually pick myself out in this shot. It helps that I was sitting in an easy to find location and wearing a white shirt.

I don't know where this falls under because WrestleMania 27 wasn't great, but neither was this one...

I'm going to run a competition soon where you have to guess the year and the show from a still shot of John Cena in the Main Event.

This has probably been discussed to death (I'm a casual fan/lurker), but wouldn't a Cena heel turn be impossible with all of the work he does with kids?
you can tell by the color of his t shirts tho
All the Heels still do make a wish requests.
Lower the image to 3 colors: red white and blue.

There's a greater chance of Zombie Benoit rising from the grave and crawling up through the ring to challenge the Undertaker tonight than there is of John Cena turning heel.
Besides, how exactly does a face turn heel in an arena full of fans that are booing everything they do with reckless abandon as a face?
How would you even know he turned heel? The reactions won't change. If the heel turn happens, does he get cheers?

That's awful. I would report those scumbags.

tap that thorax
Was he one of the zombie men in takers entrance?
He was, trying to pull down taker so he could replace him and finally face Punk in the ECW championship match that never was.

Received an email from the bar's head office and it seems to have several 'named' people CC into it. So I can only assume they're concerned.

This one was mine:
The atmosphere helps a lot. Last year was amazing, but GAF shat on it a lot too. When I re-watch WM28 now, it's a pretty slow boring show. But at the time it was great and the buzz after the show was really positive. Plus no Cole/Lawler for 4 hours is a nice bonus. Marks are a lot more fun to listen too.
My only true disappointment was Lesnar/HHH. Their brawl on RAW weeks ago was more entertaining than the entire match. It started off great then it slowly drifted off to boreville for the last 10+min...

Pretty awesome experience, cool to see a bunch of others made it there. Here were my seats:
Most of the matches were great, highlight was Undertaker/Punk by a mile. It really peaked at that point. Despite having "good" seats I didn't get to see everything without looking at the screens. Kind of what I expected. Tailgating was awesome, we really lucked out w/ the weather. My cousin went dressed as Randy Savage which resulted in lots of weird shit going on in the parking lot. Good times.

Yep, the people's champion has left the people behind. Good for him! I'm happy for Dwayne.

Most of the fans recognize the current product for the garbage that it is and will respect Dwayne's decision.
Knew it.
Fuck you wrestling and fuck you vince mcmahon.
Bring back Austin and attitude.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is true. The Rock was nothing more than an accessory to try to put Cena over with the kids.
so forced, so bad

I haven't read the entire thread to see responses of "as it went down" 'mania reactions ... but if people aren't outraged Y2J jobbed to a botched finish on a Disco Inferno rip off, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Seriously. Fandango? The f--- outta here. I could understand if it was to build some heel heat after he got some wins over nobodys .. but Jericho for the first match? le sigh.

I'm not saying you're wrong in any way for having a great time, just mentioning how it felt watching on TV. I'm sure the atmosphere in person is a completely different beast and has an effect on how you judge the event.

Jericho only comes back to put people over these days. He even says it himself. He doesn't need to win anymore and he'd rather put over some of the younger guys.

Everyone knew Fandango was going over. Jericho's job is to put over younger talent.

Only they have him putting over the wrong people. Because vince sucks.
Jericho has say in who he works with and who he doesn't.

For our sake, I hope so. He's really, really stinking it up. He's lost everything he used to have.
It's hard to have that when you're not full time and you're only coming back to put over The Prototype. I don't mind him leaving for good, but if he were dedicated to the product we probably would have seen a different Rock.
CrashPrime
Member
I believe this, and I understand he's there to put kids over, but it just felt wasted on Fandango. Not because I don't see potential in the guy, but because I see it as a wasted push this early on.
Three reasons why he associated himself with the crap product, and will do so again:
Snitch, G.I. Joe, Pain & Gain.

Wait for the buy rates for this Mania to come in before you assume things like this.

Really? He had a couple nice exchanges with Cena last night for an older guy that's basically retired. All things considered, somewhere in the middle of the match they picked up the pace and impressed me a little.
Rock was in better wrestling shape than last year, and the match was better because of that.
The fan in my wants to believe it won't happen but the cynic in me know its more than likely. Fuck that shit if it happens. Literally no body wants it. The rock cena build was so horrible.
Lots of Kurt Angle shots during mania last night love to see him back for 30.
Finally have some time, most of the show thoughts have been shared, but some odd decision live.
Like during the hour long pre-show they didn't show any of the video packages. So they would show JR and folks talking, and then black screen for like 4-5 minutes
Swagger's intro... was so sad.. didn't even realize he was coming to the ring until he was half way down the ramp.. at first I thought it was just like a clean up crew or something
Cena/Rock.. just came out of nowhere.. I guess was running short on time.. but no build-up, here's Cena's music
It was funny seeing them construct and de-construct sets/performances/intros as quickly as possible.
I still have no idea what role HBK served in that match

Why would the quality if the product matter at all to him?

The spirit of the attitude era - where anything can happen in the WWE - is DEAD.
At least until Vince McMahon himself is dead.
