Wrestlemania 25

Heh, what rubbish. Most of my predictions were wrong. Damn... A couple of months off TV and you don't catch the storylines as well.

"Santina" Santino Marella won the Diva's battle royal. That'll be interesting to follow. I love Santino, he's a comedy genius. Him performing in drag was hilarious too. How stupid do you think the fans can get? Is there no quality control over wrestlers that "Santina" (apparently Santino's twin sister) is allowed into a battle royal just like that? Anyhow, it's really funny.

Primo and Carlito unified the tag belts. They're talented 2nd generation superstars and all due respect to them. Read that their match had some high spots. All the more incentive to buy the DVD.

Rey Mysterio defeated JBL for the Intercontinental Championship in 21 seconds! The first Intercontinental Championship bout at Wrestlemania in years and it ends in 21 seconds, don't bode too well for the championship does it? I don't believe it was a fitting end to JBL's career. 21 seconds won't cut it. Rey Mysterio did have a sweet costume (he always does for Wrestlemania) resembling Heath Ledger's Joker. MAN I LOVE THAT COSTUME!

CM Punk won MITB for the second year in a row! That's a first. Will be really interesting to see where this goes from here. CM Punk is a tremendous athlete and winning this match can only add to his credentials. Who would he go after next? My guess is whoever the heel champion is. With both champs being faces right now (John Cena and HHH), Punk would have to cash in much later.

Chris Jericho beat the WWE Legends. Personally, I felt that although it was good for the legends, it wasn't necessarily good for Jericho. Him being on the weak end after being punched out by Mickey Rouke wouldn't help with his character. I think Jericho is still grossly underated and talent like him deserve far, far more exposure.

Matt Hardy defeated Jeff Hardy in this brother vs brother soap opera. It was interesting to see a change in ring attire for Matt, an attempt to distance himself from Jeff/Hardys connection. I thought it was ok, they should have one more match, max. No more on this brother vs brother thing, it won't go anywhere.

John Cena became the new World Heavyweight Champion in his triple threat match against Edge and Big Show. I don't want to comment much, wasn't very interested in this match anyway.

Triple H retained his WWE Championship against Randy Orton. Surprise here, but I suppose they wanted to end Wrestlemania on a high. A heel winning could mean a drop in viewership. But I was seriously rooting for an Orton win after all the build up.

Undertaker goes up 17-0 at Wrestlemania against Shawn Michaels. 2 of the WWE's greatest put on a wrestling clinic described by many as a classic. NOW I WANNA WATCH IT SO MUCH MORE!!! Always count on Shawn Michaels to steal the show. He's my favourite wrestler (and we share the same name!) and he brought the house down even in defeat.

When's the DVD coming out WHEN WHEN WHEN!?
I want to watch the Hall of Fame as well. Stone Cold being inducted this year would make it all the more worthwhile.
