Here's the card: D-Generation X vs. The Legacy WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. John Cena (WWE Championship) World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk (World Heavyweight Championship) Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler (InterContinental Championship ) ECW Champion Christian vs. William Regal (ECW Championship) Cryme Tyme vs. Unified Tag Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show (Unified Tag Team Championship) The Great Khali vs. Kane Jack Swagger vs. MVP No chance of my man CM Punk regaining... although one can live in hope!

CM Punk is on top once again! I marked twice: the first was when he won, the second was for Taker! I've been salivating at the idea of a Punk/Taker feud for a while, and now it looks like I'll get my wish! What the hell was up with the Cena/Orton match? Lilian was all over the place and then that fan jumping out. At first I wasn't sure if the fan was a work, but when they didn't show the scuffle in the replay at the end, I knew it was legit. Anyway, I'm just happy Punk's the Champ again. The Deadman's return is the icing on the cake!

I'm really looking forward to this. It's a shame not to have Bischoff on it, but I guess he feels there's nothing more to say about WCW.

I'm officially a CM Punk mark. Awesome promo on SD this week. I hope he retains at NOC.

Mark Henry was great last night. That grin he has when he dominates is cool. I enjoyed watching the Miz dominate Cena, even if the end result was obvious. Looking forward to The Million-dollar Man next week.

Yeah, that was strange! It looks like Koslov's lost some weight too.

The Hart Dynasty rock!!! I mark when the opening of their music hits. Hornswoggle sucks. There are better ways to use Goldust.

I hope they're gonna push MVP in a different way now that he's not US champ, especially after that ridiculously long loosing streak. MVP deserves better.

I don't think there's a chance we might see Kennedy be re-hired so quickly after his release like Cryme Tyme were.

My boy The Miz was awesome last night! Especially the comment about the Rock. The only bit that didn't make sense was Miz disappearing as soon as Big Show came out. Santino can still be funny when WWE doesn't involve him in cross-dressing. The segment with Chavo proved it.

I actually marked for Big Show this week. He's been booked like a badass recently. It's cool.

I didn't see it posted anywhere, so here's the ESPN piece on WWE: http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/video?id=4068016

Evan/JoMo was great! The rest of the show sucked. Morrison was always the better half of M2M.

I stayed up to watch Mania. Taker/HBK was amazing! Every second was intriguing and I was actually scared for Taker when he took that sick bump after the suicide dive. As for the rest of the card, it was pretty good. MITB had great spots as usual, although I would have preferred somebody else to win. I love Punk, but MITB is always better when it's won by somebody who's never had it before. LOL at Piper swearing at Jericho. Up until that point, I didn't think the show was on a time delay. Jeff/Matt was good. The Twist of Fate on the chair was a great finish. Matt's coat was nice. The Cena clones were cool. I have to admit, despite being a Cena-hater, his Mania entrances are always great. Good to hear Thuganomics again. The match was decent. Big show screaming at the ref to get him out of the ropes was funny. Orton/HHH was very much an anti-climax. It should have been alot more violent. I know WWE is TV-PG now, but they should have made an exception last night. I knew Orton wasn't going over. 17-0 BABY!!

Although I'm confident WWE won't cross the line and actually put HBK over, they're doing a great job of making Shawn look like the greatest threat to Taker's streak ever. I hope they put the match towards the end of the card because as far as I'm concerned, this is the main-event.

The last segment was awesome! The all-white visuals were very cool and Shawn cut a brilliant promo!

I'm really looking forward to HBK/Taker. The build has been great.

Swagger/Christian was brilliant! Definitely a MOTY candidate. Most of the Mania matches will probably suck compared to this TV gem. Striker was superb, as usual.

I don't watch TNA, so I only just realized that Brutus Magnus is Oblivion (nicknamed "The Big O") from UK Gladiators.

Great promo from Piper! I don't usually like seeing him, but that promo was excellent. The JBL/HBK number 1 contender angle is intriguing. It's good to see the streak being hyped in a new way. Melina was beautiful last night. I've always thought she was the hottest diva in WWE!

Brilliant PPV. Edge was awesome! Both EC matches were great, although I'm not keen on HHH being champ again. Edge stole the show!

I totally support Chris. Those fans were behaving like idiots and deserved what they got. Security should have been doing a MUCH better job!

Big show hugging Vickie for no apparent reason was funny. Matt's promo was unique. I liked it. Umaga's new music is great.

Matt Striker is great! Not only did he make reference to Mark Henry's Nation of Domination era, he also gave us a brilliant anecdote about going to see a Hip-Hop related film with a monster heel. Superb!

The Santino/Beth/Rosa segment was hilarious! I love Glamarella and Rosa fits in really well with them. In regards to the Orton/Vince saga, talk about replay overkill! I know WWE loves replays, but how many times do we have to see "the punt of doom" on one show? The payoff wasn't even worth it. The final segment sucked. Orton was great though. I was surprised to read on Wikipedia that Intermittent Explosive Disorder actually exists. Under the section of the I.E.D article "famous people who have it", somebody actually put Randy Orton, which made me laugh.
