Undertaker vs Triple H I thought was superb, the crowning moment of the show, and a lot of that was down to HBK and his reactions and mannerisms, thought it was a fitting ending to the feud, and in many ways to the careers of those guys.  When you look afterwards at the back of Undertaker, you see how much they are prepared to go through physically to put on a show.  It's hard to ever doubt the streak and to be honest I didn't, but that did not take away from the awesome storytelling.

Jericho and Punk had some great near falls in the latter half of the match, I just think it was kind of slow getting out of the blocks.  I do look forward to this feud continuining though, apparently so does Jake Roberts and Jerry Lawler....

Rock and Cena was great for the atmosphere, it was never going to be a wrestling classic, but it had the right drama, my only disappointment, and it was my own fault, was, having read spoilers about Lesnar returning, I was impatiently waiting for him to show up in the match, so when he didn't I was kind of gutted.

The Divas match went waaaaay too long, it just being there in the first place was a joke.

Bryan got done over as well, although the only defence, as BlowUp says is it was a fitting comeuppance for the character.

Rhodes vs Big Show was like a medicore tv match, D....listing it so highly....you crazy dude!!

Kane vs Randy Orton was the best match of the first half.  A lot better than expected, still no classic, but considering I dislike virtually ALL Kane matches/segments and the like, it was alright, and a surprising result to! (Everyone in the Predictions game picked Orton to).

The big tag match was just filler, a nice way I suppose for a bunch of guys to get on the card.  Dolph Ziggler deserves so much better than this, if he's not in a major spot next year, I riot!!

Brodus Clay segment, was strangely enjoyable.

The musical performances I thought were effective in adding to the big time feel, you need things to seperate this show from the others.  Mania has ALWAYS had a lot of the extra stuff to go with the wrestling. 

And finally, as a major Heath Slater AND Curt Hawkins fan, them getting a Wrestlemania Cameo with Tyler Reks.  Freakin' Awesome!
