Let’s just say that I watched WrestleMania 27 Sunday night and was on Twitter throughout the night. There were some highlights to the show, but there were some moments that made WrestleMania 27 feel like it was just a 4 hour RAW. The “Anti-Thought” concept was an idea I was given by the esteemed Iain Burnside and it serves the purpose of providing thoughts that are negative. This column isn’t meant to be taken seriously and nobody was harmed in the production of these Anti-Thoughts. To date, this is the second time I have ever used this format.
1. Daniel Bryan v. Sheamus never made it to WrestleMania because we needed a 15 minute Rock promo to kick off the show, stupid American Idol skits with Snoop Dogg, Mae Young wanting the Rock’s penis, 20 minutes for Lawler/Cole, and Pee Wee Herman to join Team Bring It.
2. The Rock promo is nothing we ever heard before. It almost felt like a $65 RAW with the insanely long jibbing-jabbing-yabba-dabba…you get the drift.
3. Remember when the Royal Rumble winner won the opportunity to main event WrestleMania? Did we really need to bury the purpose of the Royal Rumble match because of the man that won it? Hell, just tell us the truth and say that the Royal Rumble winner gets a guaranteed title shot at WrestleMania instead of main-eventing the event.
4. Alberto del Rio learned ring psychology. Edge learned how to no-sell his arm injury hitting the spear to end the match and doing the elbow drop on top of the car.
5. Gotta love how we’re short on time already that we have a two minute eight man tag team that completely buries the Corre. At least it was a fair way to do things unlike a certain Viper who completely buries the other faction single-handedly (a feat John Cena couldn’t do).
6. Undertaker v. Triple H was nothing more than big moves and long rest periods. It did nothing for me, but it could be after seeing two years of Undertaker v. Shawn Michaels that I had extremely high hopes for this match. I preferred Randy Orton v. CM Punk because Punk took Orton away from the standardized Randy Orton formula.
7. So, we have this six person tag match that lasts less than five minutes and we don’t get any in-ring time between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler? Whoever wrote this crap needs to be tortured in the worst way possible.
8. Let’s see. We’re in Atlanta, so we need a Southern Baptist Gospel Group to intro John Cena in hopes that he’ll get cheered. Vince, are you stupid?
9. No, the double-countout finish wasn’t a jab at TNA for having a 90 second main event on PPV. Not at all.
10. The Miz retains his championship at WrestleMania, which is very rare for a champion to accompolish. However, he’s still a jabroni and the Rock showed us just why he isn’t on his level. Conceited much?
