BOOYAKA BOOYAKA

WrestleMania XXII happened last night and I watched it live, the first PPV I've watched live in years. Let me tell you, it was well worth the price of... uh, free.


MOMENT OF THE NIGHT, REY MYSTERIO WINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!
This just makes a great year even greater... at least in terms of wrestling.
Rey Rey came out dressed as an Aztec king, with POD playing his music live and in person. The entrance put Angle's and Orton's to shame, we never should've doubted that Rey was going to earn his rightful place as champion of the world. It can never be taken away. The match was dissapointingly short, but the moment was worth it all.
So many good champions this year.


The rest of the night was actually really good and I came away satisfied. Edge vs Foley was a great hardcore brawl, and Joey Styles' commentary really helped this match of the night. Edge put it all on the line and Foley was there to make Edge look like a god. It worked.

The Money in the Bank ladder match was a spotty funfest. Seriously, they were pulling shit out of nowhere. Props to RVD and Benjamin who both really shined in this. And Naich was taking crazy bumps the likes of which he's never done before. Finley was taking cool bumps too, hell even Lashley was taking bumps like nuts. It ended properly with RVD getting the win and a guaranteed title match. Can he finally get the title he SOOOOOO deserves. Heel Cena vs Face RVD?


The real main event, the match at the top of the card was actually quite good. No 5 star classic, but good enough and with enough crowd craziness to be better than last years top match. First off the entrances were NUTS! Triple H the barbarian was just fucking great. The King of Kings was just so cool. John Cena's entrance as a 1930s Chicago mobster was ok, but it was infinately redeemed by the appearance of CM PUNK MOTHERFUCKER! He was front and center as a mobster, pulling off his cocky heel Punk face. Gotta love it.
The crowd HATED Cena and LOVED Trips. This really made the ending make sense, Cena retained and literally shocked the crowd. It worked, I think he'll turn heel in some form and really come into his own. He'll drop the title soon, though.

The womens title match was actually decent, but still the womens division is a joke. At least Alexis Laree is a wrestler, not a "diva". The pillow fight bullshit had me fuming that it was above Rey.

Anyway, decent show with some really good moments.

BOOYAKA BOOYAKA, REY MYSTERIO!
