The Ghost of bps21

Ugh...I just realized I have to hear Michael Cole call the main event. Over/under on how many times he says "Phenom"...17

Michaels had done it a few times already. Even was asked about it in an interview. He said he had to be the first one to do it so that everyone would kind of accept it as ok.

Why do you say that? Doesn't mean Punk's gonna cash it in right away Nor should he. Edge and Van Dam were ready (coughOVERDUEcough) to get a shot at the top. The MITB has to be his new gimmick as he builds up with wins over more credible opponents.

Don't be. It's really HHH/Cena apathy.

Taker and Edge get the Main Event slot. Good for Edge.

Really clever finish. Awesome use of moves that are over as matchenders.

YES!!!! Perfect move by Orton. YES!!! I can't believe I'm happy Orton won. ... YES!!!

I love how they call Cena "controversial". There's nothing controversial about his character. Maybe if there was the crowd wouldn't turn on him every match.

HHH's enterance at Mania 22 Says "not so fast" Compared to "Gangsta' Cena"? I think not.. WAY worse than Gangsta Cena. Whatever they were going for with HHH's Thor enterance missed its mark completely.

SHAWN MICHAELS ISN'T A DRAWii! ...sorry...couldn't resist.

But Austin was two things: 1. The top star in the company and 2. The guy people were rooting for going in and all match long. Orton...was treated as an afterthought in the buildup to the match and well...there's actually probably more people rooting for him than Cena.

A college marching band played his theme song.

Orton isn't HHH...who was the other one? Austin? Cause that shouldn't count. He wen't in face and the crowd never let him turn anyway.

HHH's enterance at Mania 22 Says "not so fast"

Putting it on early means Orton could actually retain. The voters don't think there's a chance in hell...which is another reason I'd do it.

Snoop rules. And he got the girl. Wow...HHH isn't last? GO ORTON!!!

It worked because Flair's offense is so limited that it made it more believable that he could compete on HBK's level. Thank God the lights didn't go out last match.

They should have had someone else call this thing. JR sounds every bit as befuddled having to follow a classic moment in wrestling history with this as you'd imagine.

Yes.

God Damn Candace for getting hurt again. now I've got Ashley on my screen.

Flair asking for it was probably my favorite Mania moment since I thought Austin broke the sharpshooter at Mania 13. Of course they left that part out of the post match video replay. But whatever. It happened. and it ruled.

Flair asking for it was awesome. But I really hate that Shawn was the one to do it.

Flair's dirty cheats are just great. He needs to bust out the choking the guy with his leg while arguing with the official

I'm actually kind of glad they put this on early now. This is the only match I'm emotionally invested in so I can just sit back and enjoy the rest of the show when it's over. *Huge Flair mark*

It's how he won the NWA title in the cage isn't it?
