Wrestlemania 26

Harry - "In regards to Wrestlemania 26, my dick is so hard right now."

Well now that we got that out of the way, on to the review.

Some ex-American Idol winner sings "America The Beautiful" to open the show, then we get our opening match...

Match 1: ShowMiz v. R-Truth/John Morrison

This watch is hard to review because nothing really happened, I doubt anyone really predicted a title change here. R-Truth got hurt outside and Morrison got a knock out punch from Big Show for the pin.

After a view of festivities from the weekend we get our second match.

Match 2: Orton v. Rhodes v. DiBiase

Randy Orton is super over with the crowd. Dibiase and Rhodes continue to play the numbers game on Orton while he fights them off. They eventually get they eventually get the upper hand and all is well til DiBiase tries to pin Orton while Rhodes has his back turned. They fall apart as a team and Orton takes advantage, end of the match sees Rhodes get punted in the head while DiBiase gets and RKO... Orton celebrates as the crowd goes nuts.

Backstage promo sees Santino mention Slim Jim is our sponsor and even a brief appearance from Melina. Then we head ringside for match three... MONEY IN THE BANK!!!

Match Three: Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kane vs. Christian

It was almost impossible to keep up with all the action in this match. Kofi had some ridiculous hair and Matt Hardy is back in his old outfit. Highlights...

- Anytime Drew McIntyre got his ass kicked.
- Kofi using two sides of a broken ladder as stilts.
- Evan Bourne doing Air Bourne off the side of a ladder.

The end of the match saw Jack Swagger knocking Christian off the ladder and then botching getting the briefcase off the hook. Swagger eventually got the win.

We see the Hall of Fame Class of 2010.... Then the next match.

Match Four: Triple H v. Sheamus

Sheamus is a favorite of HHH which is probably what led to this being a non-squash match. Sheamus gets the early advantage and this is a very good back and forth match. Sheamus hits his big boot and for a bit there was serious thought in my mind that he may actually beat Trips... But then reality set in and Triple H played possum after one, hit the Pedigree and that was all she wrote.

We get a video preivew for CM Punk and Rey Mysterio.. Obviously leading into our next match.

Match Five: Rey Mysterio v. CM Punk

CM Punk comes out in GI Joe inspired trunks that are awesome... He cuts a promo about how being straight edge means he is better than you. Mysterio misses his cue and comes out dressed like a blue guy from Avatar.... Seriously. The match itself was another short one, which sucks but keeps the feud going. Mysterio knocked Punk into one of his proteges and hit the 619.

A video rundown of Bret Hart.

Match Six: Bret Hart v. Vince McMahon

This was a huge disappointment. It saw all the Hart family at ringside and Vince mostly just crying on the mat while Bret kicked his ass. Seriously the only payoff was the end with Vince tapping to the Sharpshooter.

After this we get a video about Edge's injury and return.

Match Seven: Chris Jericho v. Edge

This was easily the second most anticipated match on the card for me. Edge is one of my all time favorites and Jericho is possibly the best wrestler in WWE right now. This was the perfect match to keep the feud going. A great back and forth match with Jericho picking up the tainted victory but then Edge attacking him after the bell and spearing him off a table through the barrier.

Match Eight: Heel v. Face Divas

Who cares.

Video package of Cena v. Batista build up.

Match Nine: John Cena v. Batista

Not really a lot to say here. Typical Cena and Dave in the match, both guys are powerhouses who have no variation in style. Cena won with a Batista bomb countered into an STF which made Dave tap out.

With that and another video montage it is main event time.

Match Ten: Undertaker v. HBK

Words cannot do this match justice. I was skeptical they would out do last years match but they did. A faster pace and multiple false finishes to the match made this easily the best match of the night and presumably the best match of the year. Then end saw HBK kick out of a Tombstone and then when Taker went for the deadmeat across his throat sign he stopped and told Shawn to stay down. HBK crawled up and made the motion himself then slapped the Undertaker across the face. Taker hit another Tombstone and Shawn Michaels will now retire.

After the match Undertaker posed then helped Shawn up, they hugged and then Taker left. Shawn began to cry as the crowd chanted "Thank you Shawn." He walked up the ramp and posed once more to close Wrestlemania 26.

I hope he gets the send off he deserves tomorrow on RAW. I'll be back after the show to let you all know.

Enjoy,

Suss
