WrestleMania XXVIII - Review / Analysis
Dear good readers, I'm back with my review of past PPV's but before that, I wanted to do a little reviews of what happened at WrestleMania Sunday.
Hera are the five match reviews and analysis:
Wrestlemania 28 Review Daniel Bryan (C) vs Sheamus
 |
| Daniel Bryan (C) vs Sheamus - World Heavyweight Championship |
Results: Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan with a Brogue kick
Duration: 18 seconds
Review: As soon as the bell rings, Daniel Bryan will have with your girlfriend, AJ, for her to give her the kiss of luck, but this was the beginning of the end of the match as he turned evil caught with a brogue kick in the face of Sheamus.
analysis:
There should have been fighting the opening of WrestleMania. Generally, the opener is the task of giving the viewer the idea that the PPV will be of providing a quality good fight, now they could have put here as Kane vs Orton was a fight with a good middle order, but decided to put again the title match global heavyweights like opener. This already takes a lot of prestige to the title, and have been so, with only 18 seconds and have ended the way it turned out, it takes even more.
But attention, this may not even have been bad for Daniel Bryan, because it put him over with the public, and not only that, now let's see: Daniel Bryan as a heel has some letters to WWE, but still is not that heel we hate. Maybe a face turn since it is so over with the public would be good. But it can also strengthen its image as a heel, complaining that he was not prepared to fight and having a rematch, continuing the feud between the two (DB and Sheamus). It was a good tactic by
WWE, but it was needless to do it at 'Mania. Quera see both Bryan and Sheamus could give us since last year have not had that opportunity.
Wrestlemania 28 Review Kane vs Randy Orton
 |
| Kane vs Randy Orton |
Result: Kane defeated Orton with a super-chokheslam the top corner
Duration: 10: 56 min
Review: I'm not doing play-by-play of this struggle. Good fight with good action on both sides with Kane dominating much of the match with Orton always trying to comeback. Although it was a good fight could have been better. Both fighters did not give their best, but not least being that this fight has only existed for both will be at WrestleMania, two main-eventers, two former world champions relegated to a fight to fill the sausage 'Mania. Anyway ... Kane always avoided selling the RKO finisher as a deadly thing. Orton got away from the first chokheslam safaria but not the second, the super-chokheslam the top of a corner against attack a superplex.
analysis:
As I said above, both fighters could have done better, but 10 minutes is difficult. Kane tried to avoid the RKO where he could and controlled most of the match, with Orton always trying to comeback. Fight the median but a bit boring. I thought Orton won but see Kane win was a pleasant surprise.
I do not know what the future hold for these two but I hope that Kane has feuds with younger superstars and put Orton over and go to where it belongs, which is the main event fight for the title with Bryan, Sheamus, ADR and Mysterio.
Wrestlemania 28 Review Cody Rhodes (C) vs Big Show
 |
| Cody Rhodes (C) vs Big Show - Intercontinental championship |
Result: Big Show pinned Rhodes after a Spear and a knockout punch.
Duration: 5:19 min
Review: Strife to fill sausage (well, the first hour of WrestleMania was all sausage to fill, since 'Mania only started when JR came down the ramp and crashed when the pyro for the first time when we had an hour show). Rhodes controlled the first part of the fight by focusing on the leg of Big Show. Some good moments with Rhodes always dominate, even going to kick the second disaster (because the second show does not lay down) to show strikes back with a Spear and this is the beginning of the end for Rhodes since then has led to a KO Punch the Big Show and then the match ended.
analysis:
Struggle to fill sausage as I said above. I knew that Big Show would win since the story circulated around how good the wrestler Big Show is taking into account its size and weight, but arriving at WrestleMania lost forever and always did figure clown.
This match served to give a WrestleMania moment the show and also made history as it now boasts of having won all the titles in the WWE who had to win.
Wrestlemania 28 Review Hell In A Cell - The Undertaker vs Triple H c/ Shawn Michaels
 |
| Hell In A Cell - The Undertaker vs Triple H c/ Shawn Michaels |
Result: Undertaker defeated Triple H after a sledgehammer and a Tombstone
Duration: 30: 52 minutes
Review:. At the beginning and the environment both explored using the preferred cage weapon, using well, but then more concentrated in the ring and destroy them to each other. We must love the facial expressions of Shawn Michaels that shows how he was surprised to find that either one was willing to win. Triple H tried to convince Shawn Michaels to end the fighting or HHH would end up with the Phenom, but the latter said to the Showstopper not to. The Cerebral Assassin resorted to the use of chairs and sladgehammer to attack The Deadman. One of the spots of the match was Triple H doing a Spinebuster the steel stairs. The game also countered the submission made him give up the previous year, the Hell's Gate with a powerbomb another beautiful spot. When Michaels was about to end the match, Undertaker makes his Hell's Gate to let KO and not be able to send ringing the bell. Triple H also fell into Hell's Gate getting K.O. suffering a Chokheslam later for a two count Charles Robinson, WWE referee who came running to replace Michaels was still injured. Undertaker, indignant at the count Chokheslam applied to an arbitrator. Triple H threw the Deadman against the Headliner, the Mr.WrestleMania you apply a Sweet Chin Music to then suffer a pedigree for a two count. Triple H also safaria a Tombstone Piledriver and Phenom would get away with another Pedigree. The ending was a bit cliché with Triple H to make the sign DX "Suck It" to take a sledgehammer and a Tombstone.
Analysis:
And behold, we got the fight of the night and possibly years, if no other type of combat as Cena vs. Punk in Money In The Bank PPV last year. The Demon of Death Valley, the Phenom as many call it, last year gave a slap to many white glove to show that there was still wrestling spectacular without requiring a Shawn Michaels to load it.
This year we have the same opponents but this time we have a structure around them called "Hell In A Cell" because, as the name implies, since we entered until we left, while we are inside the cell, is like being in hell . In addition, we have Shawn Michaels as guest referee. That is, the scene was supposed to be good, and it was not! Still it was better than last year.
For the outcome of this fight we had several possible scenarios: Shawn Michaels cost the Undertaker the fight because it is a friend of HHH, HBK was hard to fight but this time HHH because he realized that the latter was about to do what he could not, or just a simple end that was what happened.
The final moment when all leave is embraced memorable and alone worth the fight and the fight is worth the PPV. These two gentlemen took a brave bumps, sold well the movements and facial expressions they were all magnificent. The public was also brilliant.
Wrestlemania 28 Review The Rock vs John Cena
 |
| The Rock vs John Cena |
Result: John Cena defeated The Rock with a Rock Bottom
Duration: 30:34
Review: And here we are to watch two icons of professional wrestling to give everything to win. The icon of the early years of the new millennium and the superhero of children and some adults at the beginning of the second half of the first decade of this millennium: The Great One and the Chain Gang Soldier respectively.
In combat, showed that The Rock is still in good shape and can still provide good fighting, and that Cena, the WWE will let you be, could be a good wrestler with a move-set higher by undergoing not only a 5 or 6 moves limited.
Earlier both had that "staredown" as Rock and Hogan ten years before. Although the public was not so present in this battle as ten years ago at WrestleMania X8, I thought this fight better especially for what happened in the ring.
The first stage was to make their finisher, or the Attitude Adjustment FU for a count of two. Rock also made the Rock Bottom, but Cena also got away. Both the People's Champion and Cena did his signature submission moves, Rock Scene used the Sharpshooter and the STF. Both made it to the ropes. The end saw Cena go to an AA Rock but got away, and Cena, instead of the Five Knuckle Shuffle with its taunt "U Can not See Me" tried to imitate the Rock People's Elbow but the shot came out backfired as the Brahma Bull got up and applied the second Rock Bottom getting the three count and victory.
Analysis:
Belo fight that gave us both. Both did their finishers at least twice, and the opponent can always get away. Cena showed good technical wrestler and the WWE could have let him fight the best, and Rock, to a man who does not fight for ten years, proved that it is not rusty.
I liked the end scene because, in trying to imitate the moves of Rock, was to go against what he stands for, Hustle Loyalty and Respect, and not able to make what I wanted, showed that the "crime" does not pay.
I did not expect the victory of the Rock, but was at home and it is normal that you have won. He preferred that Cena had won, but we'll see how it unfolds now, with the coming of Brock Lesnar.
