Will The Rock get payback on John Cena when Cena looks to dethrone the self-proclaimed "most must see WWE champion in history" the Miz? Although it wasn't the best Wrestlemania with 25 and 26 already being in history of the brand the Undertaker v.s Triple H match was very well done and Triple H destroyed the dead man that simply makes you wonder how in the hell did he survived all that? Although the match with Miz and Cena was indeed a disappointment and Miz is just an overrated dumb wrestler that wins basically because there's a script and that's all anyways in the end this is not the best Wrestlemania in the world but it wasn't as bad for what it was going to come years later

Honestly, you would think of a Wrestlemania where the Rock AKA Dwayne Johnson is hosting would be awesome, but sadly this Pay Per View from WWE wasn't that good. WrestleMania XXVII was just disappointing. I sat through the show when it aired live on April 3, 2011, and its replay value is hard to watch again. There is a lot of reasons why this show didn't live up to the hype. First off, you got the Rock performing as a guest host rather than wrestling. I know, they (WWE), at the time didn't want the Rock to wrestle, because just in case, if he get injury that might ruin his Hollywood run. After all, he was just back to wrestling to help promote, 2011's Fast Five. Indeed, after Wrestlemania 27, he was gone for another year, until 2012 to promote 2013's G.I. Joe: Retaliation. At less, in Wrestlemania 28 & 29, he help made the show way better, by risking his movie career by wrestling. As a wrestling fan, I think most fans would take the Rock wrestling in the ring over anything else. Unlike other Attitude Era wrestlers who left the WWE and came back for guest hosts. The Rock has always been athletic enough to return to the ring. While, the Rock is great on the mic and continue to electrifying audiences with his one-of-a-kind verbal talents. Most of his promos, were just old "Fruity Pebbles" jokes at Cena, kissing grandma joke, meeting Pee Wee Herman and running through his catchphrases. Seriously, over ten minutes were wasted on Rock speaking. He can't carry the whole show, just doing this. Another reason why the PPV suck. The scheduled United States Championship bout between Sheamus and Daniel Bryan was bumped to the pre-show due to time constraints. Both are great athletes and deserve a spot on the card. Both would get a spot, next year for the World Championship, but it was just an 18 second match. It wasn't until Wrestlemania 30, that the most popular wrestler got a real one on one match. 10 minutes in the PPV and the show finally gets a match. Edge defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. Without spoiling it, the match was just alright. Still, it's odd to see the World title defended so early on the card. Sadly, this would be Edge's final match, as he would be forced to retire a week later, due to a wealth of spinal injuries during his career. The next match had lot of build to it, Cody Rhodes VS Rey Mysterio. It was one of my favorite storyline of the year. Mysterio injure Rhodes' face with his knee-brace, a year earlier. As a result, Rhodes' self-esteem took a downturn, as he began to wear a face shield. The match live up the build. Then the show got bad fillers. I just can't stand the awful singing contest hosted by Snoop Dogg. The next match was Big Show, Kane, Kofi Kingston, and Santino Marella vs. The Corre. It was short and boring. What a disappointment because Wade Barrett was then Intercontinental Champion & Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel was then Tag Team Champions and Ezekiel Jackson was then ECW Championship and they only got 1 minute and 34 second match. Lame! The next match, CM Punk and Randy Orton put on a damn fine match. Still, it was forgettable. The Hall of Fame class wasn't forgettable, as the class made out of Shawn Michaels, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sunny, The Road Warriors, Paul Ellering, Abdullah the Butcher, and Bullet Bob Armstrong was great. Still, why is Drew Carey in this!? A two minute cameo in the 2001 Royal Rumble is Hall of Fame's material. Whatever! The next match shouldn't be on the card. Michael Cole VS Jerry Lawler. Yes, an announcer vs an ex-wrestler at Wrestlemania. What on earth, were WWE thinking? Awful match with a horrible ending. The next match is Undertaker VS Triple H. Honestly, I thought this was pretty OK match, as Triple H was seeking revenge for Undertaker retiring HBK, the previous year, Wrestlemania and help him, the next year, Hell in the Cell match. Still, the match here didn't live up to their previous match at 2001's Wrestlemania X7. The match is most famous for both wrestlers get fined for hitting each other in the head with a chair. Another reason why this show really suck is because they had the lovely Trish Stratus return from retirement to have her team with a disrespectful John Morrison and B-List celeb skunk Snooki from MTV Jersey Shore to fight Dolph Ziggler, Michelle McCool, and Layla. It was short, and just not watchable. The main event really wasn't great as The Miz defend the WWE Championship against John Cena. Honestly, the Miz at the time wasn't really ready for this role, and this match proves that. John Cena continue to get mixed reaction with fans. Overall, the match was rushed and generic. The Miz even injury himself with a concussion, half way in. Originally, the match ended in a double count out, which is pretty horrible to end the show, but the match restarted so fans don't end up hating the show. In the end, most fans left unhappy as the show ended with the heel winning the main bout. Who does that!?! This isn't Wrestlemania 2000 with a crowd of 18,034. This crowd is 71,617, and you screw them over with no happy ending. At less, in Wrestlemania X7 made sense, because Steve Austin turn heel in his home state. This doesn't make any sense. Overall: One of the worst PPVs of the Modern era. At less, it's not 1995's Wrestlemania 11.

The previous year (see Wrestlemania XXVI), i explained how and why I was hooked to the WWE shows. Today, with this special number in my reviews, I will explain why i can no more watch them.1) This was the kid's biggest hobby and it was great to share it with him. As the kid is no more there, my interest gets also flat.2) As soon as we started watching the show, our best wrestlers disappear: Batista, Undertaker, Ray Mysterio (injured), CM Punk (injured): hence, for long weeks, i got only Cenna and Big Show and it was a bit boring.3) This year, the production tries ultra-violence as plot and it was awful for a fair-play man like me: watching Nexus or Swagger deliberately hurting opponents is shocking.4) The production proudly announces it's a TV show (among the oldest): thus that means it's nothing about sports, the wins or losses are all scripted so i feel taken as an dummy. 5) In France, they change the schedule: before, it was Friday and Saturday, now they put Smackdown and Raw the same night so watching more than 3 hours of WWE is simply too much.I could have concluded it gives me now more time to watch my favorite sport: basketball. But as my idol left the game this year (ah, Zen-Master !), well, i watch now a blank TV !

Over the years WrestleMania has been special with great battles involving Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Undertaker, Andre The Giant, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Simply put WrestleMania has always had something that everybody will remember forever. But this year with numerous wrestlers leaving the WWE including Shawn Michaels, Batista & Chris Jericho and with top stars like Edge, Triple H, Rey Mysterio and the Undertaker just out the door the WWE was left with hardly any top stars to make the show of shows any good. So the WrestleMania feeling that I get every year was gone. This year there wasn't any matches that could have really made this years WrestleMania as special as past years WrestleMania's Except for maybe Triple H vs Undertaker, but looking at the card going in it had potential show steeling matches so I was still looking forward to it somewhat.WWE shook things up by bringing in The Rock as the special guest host of WrestleMania and his rivalry with John Cena and The Miz, as well as Stone Cold Steve Austin being involved with the Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole match got me interested enough to order the PPV. So here is my review: WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS Now the thing I was mad about the most is that The Rock got 20 minutes of air time at the start to cut a promo which was enjoyable, but it meant that the United States Championship match between Sheamus and Daniel Bryan was cut completely out of the show. Sheamus and Daniel Bryan really could have stolen the show and it really is a disgrace that they were cut from the show.Surprisingly the World Title match between Edge and Alberto del Rio was up first and I really liked this match. It really deserved to be one of the main events and probably would have if the WWE knew that Edge would be forced to retire a couple of weeks later. I give it an 8 out of 10 The next match was Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes. Another solid match which showcased some really flashy offense from Mysterio and put over Rhodes pretty well. I really like this rivalry and they should pull off some good matches. I give it an 8.5 out of 10 After this was a really bad backstage segment of Hornswoggle rapping which took about 3 minutes out of the show which again could have been added to the Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match.Up next was the 8 man tag team match which I wasn't really looking forward to. And it was worse that I expected. It went for a duration of a minute. Why not take out the pointless backstage segments and put some time on the matches? 1 out of 10 CM Punk vs Randy Orton was up next and it was a very solid encounter. Some really good story telling by Orton and Punk here and a pretty good ending as well. 8.5/10 After this there was a really pointless backstage segment involving Pee Wee Herman. Now the WWE has got to understand that we don't care about celebrities, especially Pee Wee Herman and that we want to watch some wrestling! Jerry Lawler vs Michael Cole w/Jack Swagger and Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee was up next. Now this is a hard match to review, because it had its moments but it dragged on for about 10 minutes which is way to long for a gimmick match like this. This really should have been the match that went for a minute and if the WWE had cut this match to at least 4 minutes, again we could have had Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. 6 out of 10Now up next was the Undertaker vs Triple H match and it was intense. It was a really brutal brawl and really has to be watched live to be believed that Triple H could have really ended the streak. It was an unbelievable match, not perfect but I have to give it a 10 out of 10 just because of the emotion of this match.Now this is when the show really went down hill. The mixed tag match was up next and was really poor. But id have to admit Snooki actually impressed me somewhat. And again, we really do not care about celebrities. I actually didn't even know who Snooki is. You could have taken this match out and put Ziggler vs Morrison which somehow involved Snooki. That could have been watchable. 3 out of 10 Now the main event was up next and it was the WWE Championship match between The Miz and John Cena. Very, Very poor is all i can say for this. It really shouldn't have been the main event because no matter how much you love Cena he is a like a log in the middle of the ring. Same goes for the Miz. Then came the ending, just when it couldn't be bad enough it ended so badly. This is a WrestleMania main event we are talking about. This is the headline of the biggest show on earth. Not even The Rock's appearance could save this match from being one of the biggest jokes in WWE history. 6.5 out of 10 Overall the show started well but the Undertaker vs Triple H match definitely should have gone last. If the Undertaker/Triple H match was moved to the main event and the backstage segments were cut out to make time for the Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match it would be a different story. But because of these decisions this show was a failure but with the card that WWE has to offer and the direction the company is going in what could you expect?
