WWE Wrestlemania XXX
4/5/2014
New Orleans, Lousiana

WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos won a Pre-Show Fatal 4-Way Match

Hulk Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock opened WrestleMania 30

Daniel Bryan def. Triple H

The Shield def. Kane & The New Age Outlaws

Cesaro won the 30-Superstar Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

John Cena def. Bray Wyatt

Brock Lesnar def. The Undertaker and Broke The Streak

Divas Champion AJ Lee won The Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational

Daniel Bryan def. Randy Orton and Batista to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion (Triple Threat Match)

with the exception of Cena beating Wyatt with no consequence, I agree with all the results of this WM!

Honestly, it'd prolly have been too much of a downer if Cena and Taker lost in the same Mania with Bryan being the only face to win a good match (The Shield did CRUSH their opponents).

My favorite thing about this WM: NOT TOO MANY STUPID COMMERCIALS! Maybe I talked over them, but there seemed to be a lot less useless promos about nothing during this ppv. Of course they gotta get their sponsors in and recap the Mania stuff, but almost all matches got adequate time

There were a lot less dumb backstage skits than in years past.

As for liking all of the finishes but Cena vs. Wyatt... you were okay with AJ tapping out NAOMI, after all of the build they put in to her?

I'm definitely not happy with Lesnar being the one to break the streak. Anyone but fucking Lesnar. He's already established, he doesn't need it; it could've been used much better for someone like Bray, Cesaro, Roman Reigns next year. It's just wasted potential; lightning in a bottle that they shot in the wrong fucking direction.

That is a FANTASTIC way to put it.

Obviously, it was Taker's decision.

that build died when she got injured dude; going into EC Naomi looked strong, but she just couldn't get the crowd back behind her once she returned

I very much disagree. If they had focused on her when she came back instead of Nattie and Nikki Bella and Tamina, and then made this a one-on-one match, it would have worked well.

And either way, why have AJ tap out someone with actual star potential instead of a chump like Eva Marie or Rosa Mendes?

I'm sure it would have, but they DIDN'T continue to build her really; that's my point. If she didn't get hurt, she'd have tapped at EC and Tamina would've been the one to tap last night.

This SHOULD have been a one on one match bc ALL these 20 Diva matches absolutely blow and it's absolutely lazy overbooking; they SHOULD have focused on Naomi's recovery as to keep the fans involved with her. Instead, they moved on and started putting the Bellas and Nattie over and Naomi became just another contender again. Bad move.

But to my original statement: I'm satisfied with the ending bc everyone I wanted to win won (except Cena; I didn't think Taker would lose, but I'm rarely disappointed with a Lesnar win). As soon as Cesaro swung Swagger, I said he'd win the Battle Royal.

One thing I feel is getting lost in the Cena match is, who do you think really felt more dominant?

Remember, one does not NEED to win to come out ahead...

Also, that Taker match made me, literally, slap my keyboard across the room.

Esp not Bray, but he still didn't accomplish what he set out to. Still, I didn't mind Cena winning.

Omg, Wyatt laughing while taking a beating... it gave me goosebumps. "He don't even want to fight me!", I loved this match...

Bray's purpose was to bring out the monster in Cena, something he couldn't have done AND won the match at the same time. I was really happy with how it played out.

This! As the saying goes, lost the battle but won the war.

Except that Bray DIDN'T bring anything out in Cena. Cena always resisted the temptation. The right finish would have been Bray winning by DQ.
