Not only did this WrestleMania 27 main event not live up to the hype, it didn't even live up to the incredible video packages that preceded it. John Cena and the Miz engaged in a clunky, off-putting match that had no head or tail.
Cena wasn't himself and may have concussed early in the match. Miz is not yet at the level where he can carry a match so the WrestleMania main event was heavily compromised once Cena apparently paid a visit to dream street.
The Punk-Orton feud has received a lengthy build and was one of the more emphasized matches on the WrestleMania 27 card. However this card was not chock-filled with near falls or back-and-forth fanfare. Instead, it was filled with posturing, was hurt by the high ratio of submission holds and dead time and punctuated with only flashes of brilliance like the finish. I had high hopes for Punk-Orton given the talent of both performers in such a noteworthy field.
However, like WrestleMania 27, this match fell below grand expectations. This was something that I had expressed concern over leading up to WrestleMania, as featuring a guy who makes sporadic appearances with WWE in the final frame of its biggest event is quite harmful for its regular performers, not to mention its champion.
Despite the two faces of WWE competing in a show-closing showdown, the Rock made short work of both new age stalwarts as WWE once again seemed to take a backseat to a guest on its most prominent stage. Enjoy our content? Two of the best workers in the company, squaring off at WrestleMania.
But, you know, it was just okay for me. Maybe I wanted it to be so much bigger than what it was. I suppose I expected a clinic of technical ability on the part of both guys. I do it all the time. So, in an attempt to forget it, I, once again, let it go.
So, who are we looking at, Cole vs. Lawler, or the practical joke featuring a pudgy reality star? But, what exactly did we expect from Michael Cole, the second coming of Kurt Angle? Yeah, not really. But, Lawler gets the win, as we all expected he would, so, at least they got that right.
The ridiculous anonymous GM rears its ugly head, and the decision is reversed, not that I care anyway. I stared on in disbelief. This is the main event. I could care less. The Game vs. It was a great match, as I knew it would be. Both men delivered. Granted, both guys were supposed to be doing other things that year and this was kind of just put together as a thing to do, but come on.
The match ruled, so whatever. No, this show can die in a fire because the Miz successfully defended the WWE title in the main event of WrestleMania. Also, he managed to concuss himself on the floor against John Cena and literally wrestled the rest of the match with his brain in another part of Georgia, resulting in perhaps the worst main event in WrestleMania history. Steve Austin looked embarrassed to be involved in it as special referee, and the anonymous GM figured into the finish.
It was everything wrong with encapsulated in one match. Also, CM Punk lost in a nothing match and got so mad about it that he cut the pipe bomb promo some months later. Given how even-tempered and soft-spoken that Punk is, you really need to screw up to get him all riled up. And then Edge retired, a week later and vacated the title anyway. Oh man, did you see that Starrcade show that Jim Crockett did in ? It was from two locations! Hey, you know what would be even better?
Three locations!
