WWE: The Future Looks Bleak

Benjamin David — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:28:35 -0400

The WWE is currently in terrible shape. Many problems have been left unsolved. If this continues, the WWE will eventually fail. The only way to succeed is to eliminate these problems:

The Disappointment of the Diva's Division

Problem:

Anyone actually watch Diva's matches or just use them for bathroom breaks? Well I don't see how WWE even hires Divas when they're not using them correctly.

We heard many complaints by former and current WWE divas because they're just used for eye candy and they can't prove themselves.

Gone are the days of Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young when female wrestlers could actually fight and was not just for show.

Why are they still continuing this Santina nonsense? Santino was funny but this was just unnecessary and stupid.

Consequences:

If this keeps up, the WWE will lose a lot of female fans, roughly 1/4 of the fans. We have already grown tired of Santino dressing in a drag and dancing like a blind, drunken monkey.

If Vince doesn't use his divas correctly, why doesn't he fire them already and get rid of all this nonsense once and for all.

Solution:

First they should get rid of Santina. They should let the divas actually put a good show (Maryse vs. Mickie James) not just looking good or dancing (Eve and Layla) or terrible singing (Jillian).

The Dead Tag Division:

The WWE tag division is already a train wreck. There are only 5 tag teams in the WWE (Legacy, Cryme Tyme, The Colons, The World's Greatest Tag Team, and The New Hart Foundation). How can you have a division with only five participants? The WWE did a really good job of breaking up every single team they had.

We barely see a good tag match anymore. Legacy has been reduced to helping Orton and jobbing to Batista.

Cryme Tyme is reduced to a stupid program with Eve and Layla. The Colons are playing one-on-one with The Brian Kendrick. This is not what tag team wrestling is about.

Consequences:

When this continues, tag teams will mostly be used for handicap matches and useless gimmicks. The tag division will be buried to the ground. Basically, we lose the credibility of the tag division.

Solution:

They should build new tag teams, stop destroying current teams too. The handicap matches need to stop and regular tag matches should continue. We're lucky to have the tag division even if it is a total train wreck. Something has to be done.

The Same People in the Main Event

Who isn't sick of seeing John Cena, Batista, Edge, or Triple H in the World Title Scene? Haven't we already seen that like a 100 times before. WWE and TNA have a well known similarity, they mostly push the older more experienced guys. Sure the WWE has had other people in the main event but ever since Hardy and Punk, no one has ever replaced the same people in the main event.

Every PPV has at least one of these guys in the main event. I am sick and tired of seeing Cena come back and win after being punished.

I am sick of Triple H and the McMahons. And I am really sick of Edge sneaking his way to a World title and Losing it at the next PPV.

Consequences:

If the same people are in the main event, it will be a hard time to get someone to replace him when they retire.

Solution:

Young stars like Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger should get better pushes. They should let the veterans let the young guys shine and prove themselves instead of not giving others a chance (Triple H, I'm looking at you).

Bad Gimmicks

I have had enough of bad gimmicks. Santina, Cryme Tyme's contest between Eve and Layla, Jillian Hall's singing gimmick, and Hornswoggle have driven me nuts.

I'm sick of seeing Santina, I wonder what Hornswoggle is doing without Finlay and why they have him in the first place?

I don't see why all this is necessary. They think they can entertain us with stupid antics and nonsense.

Consequences:

This stuff gets stale once in a while. People who have actual talent are wasting their time playing a stupid gimmick just because they are forced to do it.

Solution:

Obviously they should put a stop to all this. Have Cryme Tyme wrestle in tag matches. Get rid of Hornswoggle or at least give him back to Finlay. GET RID OF SANTINA and let Santino go back to his old self. Stop all this nonsense.

Undeserved Pushes

I wonder how Vladimir Kozlov had a really nice push considering that fans didn't like him at all. He had 2 chances of winning the WWE Title on his first year. But I don't get why he got that.

He is boring to watch, can't cut a promo (okay he has an excuse), and we hated him. That's not the only case of an undeserved push. Remember when the Great Khali won the World Heavyweight Title?

I don't get how they can give pushes to those who don't deserve it but fail to give pushes to ones who deserve it or work hard for it.

Consequences:

Do we really want to see Khali champion again? Or Kozlov getting title shots? If this won't end that is what we'll get.

Solution:

They should push Evan Bourne, Matt Hardy or other people deserving. They have to stop favoring guys like Khali and Kozlov because they're big and strong. Hell, they should fire Khali.

I hope WWE solves their problems soon.

Well this rounds up my suggestions to the WWE. Your comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

WWE Legends Reincarnated: Similarities of WWE Legends and Superstars

Benjamin David — Wed, 06 May 2009 09:35:36 -0400

I recently read an article on WWE.com (link here) and I realize that they aren't like their WWE Legends counterparts. I mean come on since when did Jeff Hardy resemble Shawn Michaels? It was unrealistic and unbelievable. This list will now actually show what current WWE superstar resembles a WWE legend.

RVD, the WWE Needs You

Benjamin David — Sat, 02 May 2009 06:37:54 -0400

RVD was one of the most innovative and talented wrestlers in my opinion. He could fly high, he could put on a great show, and take his opponents to the limit.

He was one of the most entertaining wrestlers I have ever seen. He is needed back in the WWE.

RVD has a rich history in the WWE which was highlighted with multiple IC title reigns. I will now describe his illustrious career in this short article.

RVD's History

Early years

RVD's first appearance as a planted fan in a Ted DiBiase skit where he had to kiss Ted's foot. He first had his break in ECW (the good one) as a tweener but due to his high-flying antics and unorthodox style he turned face and turned into one of ECW's top stars.

His most memorable times there was his tag team with Sabu and his 700-day ECW Television Title reign. His time in ECW ended at their last PPV Guilty as Charged, where he wrestled his last match for the company in a win against Jerry Lynn.

WWE

His first storyline in the WWE was part of the Invasion storyline. He was supposed to be a heel but ended up as a face due to fan reaction.

During this time, he had two Hardcore title runs and even challenged Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWE Title in a triple threat match.

After the Invasion angle and his Hardcore title reign ended, he set his sights on the Intercontinental Title and won it at WrestleMania X-8.

He had many more IC title reigns in the future and was the previous record holder for the most IC title reigns until this was beaten by Chris Jericho

He then had a tag team with Kane and won the WWE Tag Titles with him until they lost to La Resistance.

After Kane turned heel, he feuded with him until Van Dam lost to Kane in a steel cage.

He had various feuds and Intercontinental Title reigns during the course of 2003-2004. He had a solid team with Booker T and won the World Tag Titles with him by beating Evolution but they lost to them a month later.

He was then drafted to Smackdown and won the WWE Tag Team Titles with Rey Mysterio but lost them when Van Dam had an injury.

After healing he went on to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 22. He then cashed it in on John Cena at ECW One Night Stand and won the title with some help from Edge.

The next night he was awarded the ECW Title. He lost his WWE title to Edge in a triple threat match which also included John Cena. Then he lost his ECW Title to big Show after Paul Heyman turned on him.

After this he was a contender for the ECW title until losing to ECW champion Bobby Lashley 3 times. He joined the ECW originals and feuded with the New Breed.

He had one final attempt to win the ECW title but lost a 3-on-1 match to Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Umaga. He had a short program with Randy Orton until he left the WWE due to family issues.

Special Appearances

He came back at the 15th Anniversary of Raw and defeated Santino Marella in a squash match. He also made a special appearance in the 2009 Royal Rumble but was eliminated by Chris Jericho.

Career Highlights

ECW

ECW Tag Team Champion (2 times)- with Sabu
ECW Television Champion (1 time, longest reign)

WWE

ECW Champion (1 time)
World Tag Team Champion (2 times)- with Kane and Booker T
WWE Champion (1 time)
European Champion (1 time)
WWE Tag Team Champion (1 time)- with Rey Mysterio
Hardcore Champion (4 times)
Intercontinental Champion (6 times)
Mr. Money in the Bank 2006
Triple Crown and Grand slam Champion

Conclusion

Looking at these achievements, I see what RVD has done for the WWE. In my opinion, RVD should go back to the WWE. He is one of the most talented, and entertaining superstars ever to wrestle in the WWE. So I say RVD, the WWE needs you.

Uselessness of the WWE Draft

Benjamin David — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:29:39 -0400

This is not a recap of the WWE draft, its just an opinion about how the draft has been really useless.

The WWE draft has always shook things up on the rosters, but the rules have never been enforced well. If you look at the matches on every show it features superstars from other brands. And sometimes it features a match with only superstars from other brands (CM Punk against Kane, anyone).

I'm fully aware the effects of the draft will take place after Backlash, but why wait? They made the draft to shake up the rosters, start fresh new feuds, and develop young superstars, but none of these are really happening.

They split the brands due to the massive number of superstars in the WWE. They have a big roster on Smackdown and Raw, but why do they make wrestlers from a different brand show up all the time on a different show when the show's roster is already crowded. This prevents younger stars on the brand to make an appearance and make an impact on the show.

Another thing about the draft is the terrible decisions. Hornswoggle and Chavo Guerrero to Raw? Mike Knox to Smackdown? Why waste opportunities to improve the WWE on worthless choices? I don't want to see Mike Knox tormenting Rey Mysterio again (it's overdone). Why split up Finlay and Hornswoggle, what would he do?

Well that's my point of view of the WWE draft. Your opinions are welcome.

WWE Superstars: Before and After

Benjamin David — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 06:16:54 -0400

Now you might wonder why I have a picture of Kane when I start off with Festus but this might explain everything. Before: Festus's WWE career started during Kane's See no Evil gimmick. During this time Kane would remember the terrible incident where his and his brother's (Undertaker) house and parents were burned in a fire on May 19 (the movie's release date). Kane's memories haunted him in the form of an Impostor "Kane", which was actually the man we know as Festus. This impostor "Kane" challenged the real Kane to a match at Vengeance, which he defeated Kane. His stint as Impostor Kane ended on the Raw after Vengeance when he was beaten up by the real Kane. After: After his feud with Kane, he began going by his gimmick with Jesse as the clueless oaf who turns into a dangerous competitor everytime the bell rang.

Unexpected Things That Have Happened in the WWE

Benjamin David — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:16:35 -0400

*Note: All things in this list are true. If you think I'm lying, check it out for yourself but I assure you everything on this list is 100% accurate.*

Every once in a while, WWE makes an unexpected move that would either make their situation better or worse (most likely it makes it worse). Some have been really predictable but others just make you want to think "Where did that come from?" or "How could this happen?"

Now it is time to list down some of the most unexpected and unpredictable moments in WWE history:

Jeff Hardy Heel Turn

This actually happened twice in his WWE career and it almost happened a third time when he interrupted a match between Undertaker and Vladimir Kozlov but he is so popular that even a heel turn would still make fans cheer for him.

The first time happened when he was with his brother Matt turned on their manager Michael Hayes and joined Gangrel, replacing Edge and Christian, forming "the New Brood". But their high-flying antics and popularity quickly led to a face turn.

The second time happened when he was in a team with RVD and Shawn Michaels. He turned on them after losing a match. Still, due to his rising popularity and unorthodox style, he had no choice but to turn face yet again.

Kane's Previous Gimmicks

The man known as Glen Jacobs has had the same gimmick of The Big Red Machine Kane for about 12 years now but this wasn't his first choice for his wrestling persona.

Before he started off as Kane, He first had his stint as Dr. Isaac Yankem, Jerry Lawler's evil dentist who did Lawler's dirty work for him. He had a mini feud with Bret Hart until his character was forgotten.

Shortly after Isaac Yankem was forgotten, Diesel and Razor Ramon left the WWE and since they were the WWE's biggest stars back then, they had to find suitable replacements for them. This led to Kane's next gimmick: Fake "Diesel" along with a Fake "Razor Ramon" and Jim Ross. This was short lived as they dropped Jim Ross's heel turn.

After all these stints, he had finally found his true gimmick in the form of the demented, maniacal, psychotic, violent Kane.

Chavo Guerrero turns into Kerwin White

When Chavo was traded to Raw in 2005 his whole personality changed. The reason for this change was due to a beating dished out be the Mexicools. Due to this attack, he refused to be known as a Mexican and started a white Golfer gimmick. He then feuded with Shelton Benjamin over racial issues. This quickly stopped after Eddie's death.

David Arquette as the World Heavyweight Champion

I know this was in WCW but this was really, really stupid and it caused the downfall of WCW so I had to include this in the list.

David Arquette started in the WCW movie "Ready to Rumble". They wanted to incorporate the movie into a storyline so they made him have matches as a team with Diamond Dallas Page (the movie's villain). He was then involved in a tag match with DDP against Jeff Jarret and Eric Bichoff for the title. He pinned Bichoff and became World Champion.

Now I can see why WCW failed so badly.

Brock Lesnar, former WWE Champion becomes UFC Heavyweight Champion

This explains my article photo.

Brock Lesnar, one of the most dominant forces in the WWE before, is now the current UFC Heavyweight Champion.

We didn't really expect Brock to try mixed martial arts after his failed attempt at pro football but he overcame the odds and won the UFC Heavyweight Title only after a few matches with most of his wins due to knockout or unanimous decision.

This proves that he can be dominant in mixed martial arts and sports entertainment.

Well this rounds up my list. Feel free to continue it later on.

Also feel free to make comments, suggestions, criticisms, and continuation.

WWE Gimmicks, Storylines, and Personalities We Can Live Without (Part 2)

Benjamin David — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 05:27:38 -0400

*Sorry for the late upload; my Internet connection was cut*

Well I'm back with part two of the most annoying gimmicks, people, storylines, and moments that have happened in the WWE and this list now involves gimmicks, people, storylines, and moments that happened before 2004.

I will also explain my picks for Honorable Mention in my previous article.

Now it's time to continue the countdown to the most useless/irritating/annoying things in the WWE:

Note: Both lists are in no particular order.

1. Rico's Gimmick

In real life this guy is a police officer, with that you might think he is a really tough guy, but his ring personality was something you wouldn't expect from him. His gimmick was a "girly" hairdresser (I'm not sure if I can say the actual thing here).

I wonder why they couldn't give him a better gimmick. I mean he was on the SWAT team and was a champion on American Gladiators and the gimmick that they gave him was a "girly" hairdresser for Billy and Chuck, Charlie Haas, Miss Jackie, and 3 Minute Warning.

A lot of people liked his gimmick, but I thought it was insulting and tasteless. He had good martial-arts skills, but it was wasted on his gimmick.

2. Billy and Chuck's Relationship

Billy and Chuck was a good tag team with a horrible gimmick. They had a good move set, but their gimmick was kinda similar to Rico's gimmick.

In storyline they were attracted to each other, which was really weird. Then they made Rico their hairstylist which was even weirder. And finally, Chuck proposed to Billy and he accepted. I'm glad that they dropped the gimmick when they turned face.

For some reason I think Billy Gunn likes these type of gimmicks, considering that his TNA gimmick was also a hairdresser. It's really ironic, because in his first WWE stint, he and his storyline brother Bart were a tough cowboy tag team.

3. Simon Dean

In ECW this guy had a lot of potential as Nova. He had a lot of abilities and his move set was really great. He was also part of bWo (blue World order), the parody of nWo. But when he came to the WWE, he was a fitness instructor.

His gimmick was an annoying, obnoxious, fitness guru where he forced people to use his Simon System. In short, he was a real pain in the neck.

4. Gobbledy Gooker

Hector Guerrero, is the brother of Eddie Guerrero, and he was trained like all other Guerreros but one of his gimmicks in the WWE when he first started was a Giant Turkey who hatched from a giant egg. I am dead serious.

That was his gimmick, and nobody was interested, and although he was portrayed as a face, he got more heat than what Swagger gets. Disappointing.

5. Rosey

His first stint with Umaga as the 3 Minute Warning but when he went with the Hurricane as his Super Hero In Training, he was useless. He had limited wrestling ability and was mainly used as a jobber.

6. Exploiting the death of Eddie Guerrero

This was just despicable. They had absolutely no respect for the Guerreros. They made this into a storyline which disrespected Eddie.

Heck, Randy Orton even made one of the most malicious remarks ever said when he said that Eddie was in Hell.

This storyline was just a disgrace to Eddie and his family as they were trying to entertain us by disrespecting him.

It was just sick. I don't even want to talk about it anymore.

Honorable Mentions

Heidenrich's poem gimmick: His poems are terrible and his wrestling abilities are limited.

Jillian's singing gimmick and mole girl- Her singing makes our ears bleed and she thinks it sounds good. That weird looking mole on her face was just ugly. Good thing the Boogeyman ate it (not kidding).

Hawkins and Ryder's Edge-heads gimmick: They were good as the Major Brothers but when they turned into the Edge-heads they were like geeky, obsessed groupies.

Vladimir Kozlov: I wonder what he did to be No. 1 contender for the WWE when his Mic skills and wrestling skills were horrible.

Mordecai's Zealot gimmick- He condemned us for being miserable sinners and we also condemn him for having a terrible gimmick. He also had a mediocre gimmick in Kevin Thorn.

Sgt. Slaughter Iraqi sympathizer gimmick: In the NWA he was an American hero but when he joined the WWE he was turned into an anti-American Iraqi sympathizer. Why was that necessary? Who knows, but one things for sure, that was a terrible move.

Well thanks for reading. Please feel free to make comments, criticisms, and suggestions.

WWE Gimmicks, Storylines, and Personalities We Can Live Without (2004-)

Benjamin David — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 06:37:26 -0400

Over the years WWE has had some very irritating people, wrestlers, storylines, and gimmicks that just made us sick.

There were many but most of them are coming from this WWE Era, 2004-present. We will now countdown some of the most annoying things we have seen in the WWE today.

1. "Santina" Marella

Santino Marella is a character used for comic relief and I have to admit he is really funny, but was this nescessary? Did they need him to do what he did at WrestleMania?

First, he demanded to be included into the Ms. WrestleMania Battle Royal. Next he challenged Mickie James for a shot to be included into the Battle Royal and lost. Then he challenged all the Divas on the roster and was beaten up by them.

And finally, he dressed up in a drag and won the Diva's Battle Royal, a Battle Royal that was meant to either show dominance to an old Diva or a current Diva or to push a current Diva, but WWE decided to make the Women's division a joke and they made a man win.

They thought this would make us laugh but it didn't; it made us disappointed. Did they think we would laugh at degrading the Diva's or making Santino dress in a drag? Another one of WWE's dumb moves.

2. Khali Kiss Cam

I have no idea what the Great Khali is doing with this. His face turn was useless and it even gets a lot of boos. And the whole reason of this face turn was due to the Kiss Cam, a segment formerly hosted by Maria.

He doesn't have much Wrestling skills, yet they still made him a World Heavyweight Champion and no matter how limited this man's wrestling abilities are, a former world champion does not deserve this.

It is just disgusting how they can make Khali do a kissing show segment. He even offered to kiss Santina (no it is not a typo, he really wanted to do it)!

3. Vickie-Edge Marriage

I'm definitely not the only one sick of this. It makes Edge look really weak and cowardly and that he needs to hide behind power to get what he wants. And let's not forget the extremely annoying EXCUSE ME!

Its already a year and a half since they were in this relationship and I personally think they're just doing this because they have nothing to do with Vickie yet they don't want to release her due to Eddie.

I respect Eddie Guerrero and all he's done, but Vickie just makes me sick.

4. Mike Adamle

What can I say about Mike Adamle? He was a terrible announcer who doesn't know what moves are being used, terrible color and play-by-play commentator and he doesn't even know some wrestlers' names (who is Jeff Harvey anyway?).

Due to his poor commentating skills, he was named GM of Raw when Mr. McMahon was incapacitated by some debris and he still did a terrible job.

His feud with Randy Orton was mediocre to say the least and he just quit after slapping Orton. That's just weak. I'm so glad that he quit though.

5. Spirit Squad

What do you get when you put five male cheerleaders? Sure they have ability to wrestle but man were they annoying to the max.

They paraded around the ring like a bunch of idiots, jumping on a trampoline, and yelling terrible cheers with a megaphone, who won't get sick of that.

Honorable Mentions:

Heidenrich's poem gimmick

Jillian's singing gimmick

Hawkins and Ryder's Edge-heads gimmick

Vladimir Kozlov

Mordecai's Zealot gimmick

Before 2004

The Shockmaster: I know that he was in WCW but take a look at what happened on his debut: He had a terrible costume, and tripped over the wires while he entered the ring.

Katie Vick, Kane, and Triple H: Too disgusting to discuss.

While there are many more to talk about I would just leave it like this for a while for others to continue this list later on.

Thanks for reading. Please comment.

WrestleMania XXV: Was It Really Worth the Hype?

Benjamin David — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:07:15 -0400

Another WrestleMania is in the books but it seems to me that this year's WrestleMania wasn't quite the type of entertainment we all expected. I'm not saying this was a bad WrestleMania but it does have some flaws. I will explain some of them in my first article.

First Match: (Dark Match): Tag Title Unification Match (The Colons defeated John Morrison and The Miz)

It's about time WWE unified the World Tag Team and the WWE Tag Team Titles. I don't think they should have made two tag titles in the first place.

Not really a bad match. Miz and Morrison were the favorites of this match but the Colons came out on top after a Primo backstabber.

This loss for Miz and Morrison might lead to the team's separation which a lot of fans have been waiting for.

In my opinion, Miz and Morrison should have won the match as they were really the better tag team of the two. But I guess WWE wanted to have the Colons as the face of their tag team division.

The sad thing is that WWE put so much into promoting this match, having a great build up, they even made it a Lumberjack match but this was just a dark match.

Second Match: MITB Ladder Match (CM Punk defeated Kane,Mark Henry, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Christian, Kofi Kingston, and Finlay)

CM Punk made history as the first person to win two MITB in a row. Not a really good decision on WWE's part. I mean he already won it before and won a World Title with it. It belongs to someone else.

That could have been Shelton's time to finally shine, or Christian's time to finally win a World title but WWE decided to give to CM Punk yet again.

The whole match was terrific with many spots but I'm still disappointed with the ending. CM Punk already won the WHC, Tag Title, and the IC title, he already had hi push. Someone else deserves a push too.

I have no problem with CM Punk its just that they should really have given someone else their chance at a World title shot.

Third Match: 25 DIVA Battle Royal for MISS WrestleMania ("Santina" Marella won after eliminating Beth Phoenix and Melina)

OK this was just terrible. Santino is a really funny guy but this was just insulting to the Diva's. This could've been an oppurtunity for an old Diva to give on a good show for one last time or for a current diva to show she's the best diva in the WWE today but no that didn't happen. What happened was a match won by Santino in a drag.

I mean sure it was funny but it was really shameful.

Fourth Match: Legends Handicap Elimination Match (Chris Jericho vs Ricky Steamboat, Roddy Piper, and Jimmy Snuka)

Well it was pretty much what we expected: Jericho beating the Legends, Ric Flair and Mickey Rourke come to confront him and Jericho gets beaten up by Mickey Rourke. Kinda Predictable if you ask me.

Fifth Match: Brother vs. Brother Extreme Rules Match (Matt defeats Jeff)

In my opinion this was the second most exciting match in the whole event. There were many spots mostly made by Jeff and they really took advantage of the Extreme rules stipulation (Matt used a vacuum cleaner).

In the end Jeff missed a Leapfrog Leg Drop from a really tall ladder and Matt wrapped his head on a steel chair and gave him a twist of fate.

Sixth match: IC Tiltle Match (Rey Mysterio defeated JBL)

Wow they started this new tradition of making a title match last less than one minute last year with the ECW title and this year is no exeption. Rey beat JBL after 21 seconds with a 619. After that JBL gets mad and said "I quit!" Well he made history like he said as he has the record for the fastest Intercontinental Title Match at WrestleMania.

Seventh Match: The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels (Undertaker's Record: 17-0)

This was actually the best match of the night. These two future Hall Of Famers stole the show (no pun intended) this years WrestleMania like what Shawn and Ric Flair did last year.

This match might be one of the best WrestleMania Matches ever. Two people who are best known for their performances at WrestleMania going at each other one on one, you have a recipe for a really awesome match.

It went back and forth between both of them until Undertaker hit a Tombstone Piledriver and that was the end of that.

Truly great performances by both superstars. The whole thing was unpredictable from the start to the very end of it. No WrestleMania is really complete without these two.

Eighth Match: World Heavyweight Title Match (John Cena defeated Big Show and Edge)

Another victory for Cena. Way to predictable. They should have let Edge have the title and start a face run. These Main Events were not really worth all the hype.

Main Event: WWE Title Match (Triple H defeated Randy Orton)

Well this was a very weak ending to WrestleMania. We'd expect either a swerve and/or a run-in from the McMahons and Legacy but this was just a standard one-on-one match. Wher's the plot twist, where's the excitement? This was a horrible way to end WrestleMania 25.

It could've had a better finish but it was really predictable.

Well this is my opinion on this years WrestleMania. Please give me your side too.

Comments are welcomed.

Thanks for reading my first ever article.
