so was Bryan winning
Glad he won and not Batista, I am a Batista fan, and a Batista win would have been too predictable, can;t wait for his story line now, hopefully team up with Triple H to go after Daniel Bryan?

Bit of a guilty pleasure, the wife almost caught me watching it a few nights ago but I just managed to change over to the porn channel in the nick of time.

The RKO Bomb (which is what I'm calling it) through the announce table was fking awesome. Respect to Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton for doing that, especially Orton as that looks like it hurt him more than Bryan as it looked like he landed on a monitor. Plus when he used the sledgehammer and HHH, that was so cool.

For me it was the highlight of the show that match. You have to respect Bryan after what he went through that night wrestling 2 high impact matches. Love it.

About half the wrestlers I knew from the early 90's are dead by now, quite telling.

Well the Undertaker loss took everyone by surprise! My mouth was as wide as most of the audience. Never thought they'd have the balls to do that after 21 years. I'm disappointed that Lesnar did it though. As I mentioned earlier, he doesn't need that sort of boost to his career, and I don't think WWE are going to get value out of that decision with him being a part timer after his prime. It almost seemed like a mistake due to the amount of time it took the sound guys to get his music on after. I would much rather a newer person ended it if anything. Also the start of this match was very slow and boring, but is virtually irrelevant considering the ending.

Disappointed Cena won, come on WWE...

Very happy with the Cesaro win, the final throw reminded me of the Andre/Hogan WM3 moment. He's the sort of guy who should have ended the streak.

Main event went as expected. The RKO/Powerbomb through the table was great. So glad Batista didn't win as he looks as tired as Taker.

I enjoyed HHH's entrance and the first segment to appease the old school crowd too. I could totally see they were doing that to reward the old fans (the ones with the money bringing their kids to the event) more than anything else.

That won't stop, I reckon a few big names will go in the next few years. There are a few I'm surprised haven't had 'heart issues' already.

Well, I've just finished watching it having avoided all spoilers beforehand:

Well it's not often I can say it, but I was dead right about the streak coming to an end. Never seen a WWE crowd shocked into complete silence before - I was just waiting for the ref to say it was a false count or Lesnar was disqualified.

Glad Cena won, never understood the hate for him. Crowd certainly seemed to take a while to get into the match.

I don't think the Cesaro move was a coincidence - by design the start is never very good since you can't tell what is going on. Nice to see someone different get the victory.

After the Royal Rumble I couyld never see Batista winning it and Bryan as the outright favourite, although for a while I was thinking Orton would pin Batitsta therefore ensuring Bryan didn't lose per se. And yes, seeing all the old favourites was great. Hugely enjoyable overall.

Looks like the Undertaker was actually injured hence the loss.

Wow, that was out of nowhere. I'm guessing the reconciliation and Hall of Fame entry were now due to health problems.

Unsure on Sting, HH might be a good candidate...also HHH? Is HHH still as big as he was?

HHH is still pretty big in WWE, I'm more into TNA these days though, better action smile

I like this whole business on last Raw episode of Kane, Batista, Orton and HHH working together against The Shield. Reminds me a bit of the Evolution days, though Orton will have some sour memories lol.

Just read this morning about the sad passing of Warrior (to call him by his legal name), a man who certainly seemed to have a tumultuous career, only wrestling in short spurts here and there but certainly seeming to make a big impression in his time. Sad to hear, but I'm not sure that the reconciliation and HOF induction were related - bit of a conspiracy there I think.
