Enjoyed the Hall of Fame. Had some issues. Some jumping around and a couple minor freezes. Hope Mania goes okay, I'm such 1000x the people who tuned into the HoF are gonna tune in for Mania. Still nervous about how the network is gonna hold up.
 
i think they'll be ok; and DAMN did mr t ramble..holy crap..though i did feel bad that after kane cut him off he didn't really close the speech and he seemed, idk hurt maybe? or down? idk...
 
I thought that was preplanned. I hate to think they would just cut him off like that, he didn't seem upset by it. If he didn't know that was coming I would have expected a different reaction from him :dunno

I really liked Jake's acceptance speech and wish Razor's would have been a bit more. It was cool the Clique came out though.

Loved that Taker came out for Paul Barer too, didn't expect that. I thought WWE handled that pretty good.

Warrior rambled a bit too much, and went too long, but after 18 years away he probably had a lot to get off his chest. It was better than I expected though, I thought he was gonna get up there and run WWE down, but I was pleasantly surprised he didn't.

The rest was meh, but still enjoyed seeing the whole thing uncut.

Carlito's comments were funny *** hell, nice bit of shooting on WWE there:lol, unnecessary but funny nonetheless.
 
I guess so many people thought that the Ultimate Warrior was going to go out and say something crazy and bury everyone. I'm really glad he didn't - it's not worth it.

Looking forward to Wrestlemania!!!
 
He didn't speak, it was the most appropriate tribute Taker could give him while staying in character.

Its funny how WWE is still holding onto his gimmick so tightly, basically erasing his American Badass persona from any commentary or mention of it.

Yeah, I was one who thought he'd go off. Really it was better that he didn't. You could tell that the DVD from a few years back really hurt him and he took it hard. That is totally understandable since it was a complete burial of the guy. I'm glad that things have worked themselves out and he was able to come back on his own terms.
 
The best thing is that he said that he is signed to be with the WWE for a few years doing Hogan/Flair type work, under that "ambassador" title WWE has been using for older talent. Though he was never a great in ring talent he did a lot in the industry and can still give a lot back.
 
omg carlito's comments were the best thing i heard--loved it loved it loved it..hilarious they should resign him and pair him with his brother (get that poor man out of the matadore gimmick (or just have some1 else fill in for him since they wear masks and don't talk))--the colons as a tag team would hugely benefit the now rising tag team division. When they were a tag team there wasn't really an emphasis on tag teams, so I think they would thrive now, and carlito was always a solid worker..
 
Jakes speech was my favorite. Mr T was sooooo terrible. I know Piper hates him. Rambled about god and his mom. Mentioned "rasslin" one time and that was it. He should've known his place and left plenty of time for the real guys of the business. He didn't ruin the night but yeah Kane or someone needed to say something. He was gonna go on forever.

Overall. Lita and Jake were my favorite parts
 
I too was hoping to hear from Taker. He keeps real low key on speeches and interviews and all that. I'll love hearing his hof speech one day
 
Even the Bryan chats were on a much lower level after that. I kinda wished it would have gone either ... Having the streak end at last years WM "end of a era match' or have him losing to Cena this year. Not sure what Vince (or taker) was thinking jobbing to Brock. Guy will always be part timer, since he has that health issue that seems to always come back and haunt him. Not to mention, it's not quite known if Brock's heart is fully in pro-wrestling.
 
Having it end to anyone would totally suck. But to a legitimate bad human being who's had everything handed or him and has no respect for the business is heartbreaking.
 
Wow, they have a part timer beat Taker? Thought his loss would be a big passing the torch moment. I guess that Sting match isn't happening now? I have a feeling Taker asked for this unexpectedly at the last minute because the buildup made no sense.
 
I hope people realize it was Undertaker who chose Lesnar. He's had a lot to say for his opponents. It's been said that outside the ring these men have great respect for eachother.

I'm as shocked as the next guy is, but I'm curious for tomorrow.

The setup all started when Taker showed up at one of Brock's UFC fights.
 
-Pre-show tag match was a pretty fun mess. I thought the after match stuff would be Cesaro's big thing for the night...

-HHH-Bryan was an awesome match. It had an almost puroresu or ROH feeling to it. It's amazing that at 44 HHH went out there and probably had one of the best matches of his career.

-Shield squashing the NOA was exactly what should have happened and was fine for what it was.

-The battle royal was okay, but got good once it got down to about 8 guys. The finish was terrific and will be a moment referenced for Cesaro for a long time to come.

-Bray-Cena is a match that I'm sure will be decisive for people. The wrestling portion was so-so, but the storytelling was great. I'm sure this is just an opening chapter in a book to be continued.

-Taker/Brock was a shock. I didn't think they'd actually have it broken. This has to go next to BATB '96 as far shocking moments go. 75,000 people were pretty silent in an instance.

-Divas match was my and probably most people's bathroom break.

-The main event started slow, but become awesome after HHH/Steph entered the equation. The near falls close to the end were very believable and the finish was great. 8 months of storytelling had a very satisfying conclusion.
