Someone who starred in a gay fetish video is the undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion of the World, and I couldn't be happier. We've come a long way.

hunnert car pileup: Oct 28, 2007; the first world was a mistake

That show really was great.

Doesn't touch the Tokyo Dome show match quality wise, but had more stupid fun stuff. My only real gripe is that Rock/Ronda segment went WAY too long.

yeah this is all accurate. cena/rusev was a good match but nothing special, ajpaige/bellas was a passable divas match, hhh/sting was worthless garbage, taker/bray was a better match but still boring and worthless, the tag champ match was pretty good, intercontinental ladder match was an average wrestlemania ladder match.

this would have been a completely unremarkable wrestlemania if it weren't for that fantastic main event.

Yup pretty much. Not sure how Dave is going to say that Sting match was good

The crowd live must have been absolutely nuclear, because while I thought it was a good show, it was nowhere near "best ever" levels.

Maybe my definitions are a bit weird. I don't think there were any truly "great" matches, but every single thing was at least "good" and that's amazing for a six hour show.

I honestly don't mind Sting losing to HHH, Sting still looked great while losing would have been difficult to address considering HHH is still going to be on TV every week. Sting isn't.

That WM was not flawless: the Divas should have gotten another 4-5 minutes and not been such a Raw match

It was a men's RAW match, which might not be ideal is still a step in the right direction for women's WWE wrestling.

So why did the world champ lose clean to Randy Orton again? On the night that he won the title, no less?

Ask Brett Hart.

It's not a classic Sting match without overbooked nonsense and a crap finish that makes Sting look like an idiot.

Yeah same, a great main event can save a show overall but it doesn't retroactively make mediocre undercard matches better

So that was my first Wrestlemania after a few months of reading about the WWE without actually watching it, and I'm starting to get into this whole thing. This is probably a really dumb, stupid question, but are there any non-cable ways to watch the weekly shows? As far as I can tell, they aren't actually on the WWE Network, right?
