I didn't see it (working :( ), but it sounded like an excellent WM.

There are multiple reports of fans being injured by the fireworks at the end of WM. Reports say the firework line snapped then causing fireworks to hit the fans and in one case catch fire!!

I still can't believe that Orton came out on top of the triple threat match. Even CM Punk winning money in the bank was a suprise to me with him being in and out of the WWE's dog house. Other then that the card went the way I thought it would and all in all it was a pretty good show.

I agree w/ the Orton outcome, I was 95% certain they'd have Cena win the title the other 5% I figured HHH would win, but I was 100% certain Orton would lose. Big Show losing to Mayweather is not very believable but I figured they'd have Mayweather win anyways so it wasn't a shocker.

I noticed that too but am not quite sure with how he got in the dog house in the first place.

Apparently,CM does have his advocates in the WWE hierarchy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Punk makes his move to challenge for a title,and if the storylines begin to move in that direction. Maybe even tonight-who knows? (And it would make sense,considering that Trips will likely be gone for a while;he'll soon be a dad for the second time.)

Totally stunned that Orton retained. I would have bet everything I own on Cena or HHH winning. Especially with HHH missing WM last year, I thought chances were very slim that he wouldn't walk out the champ... And if he didn't, Cena would.
The minute it happened, I told my wife that Taker would beat Edge... Very rarely does WrestleMania end without a title change, and putting the triple threat in the middle of the show pretty much sealed Taker/Edge going last.

Apperently he has rubbed a number of people backstage the wrong way. He is said to be ****y and arrogant. Also he has a knack for messing up big spots in matches which dosen't help either. But the fans love him. He is basically Rey Mysterio part 2 with how much they kids like him so that means they buy his stuff and as long as he sells I guess the WWE will push him ahead of guys who are much better in ring like Morrison, Benjamin and Carlito.

A good post WM Raw too, I really like the JBL/Orton interaction. JBL might not be the best wrestler, but he is damn good on the mic. Punk/Jericho was great, I hope they get a 20 minute PPV match down the road, those two could put on quite a show...speaking of shows...Big Show had a very cool deal with Kahli too, if he can stay in the shape he's currently in he'll put on some great matches. And they handled the Flair thing great, no crap with Vince or anything...they just handled things perfect.
Maybe the WWE is turning the corner...

I actually like his submission hold. He's a big MMA fan and is using that hold alot.

Yeah but this isn't 1990, his character isn't an undead zombie immune to pain anymore. He's been a biker, and now something between a zombie and biker...lol. I guess I like the idea of using another move, it just adds something to keep the gimmic fresh. Kinda like Jericho adding the Code Breaker. Now maybe it should be some other kind of finisher, but I like the idea of a submission version. I was never a big fan of the Last Ride when he added that one.
