Wrestlemania thoughts part 1 - Rey Mysterio v Matt Hardy through to Shawn Michaels v Chris Jericho

The opening speech thing was just wow. And yes! And wow. It's also been Grand National day so the whole historical portent content of the day has been stupidly high.

The Matt facts continue to amuse me beyond belief, 'Matt Hardy doesn't know how they had Wrestlemania without him' was perfect.
The match was too short. Good but too short. And Rey Rey really is the human highlight reel. BTW did they just spray the top half of his suit on or what. That was beyond skin tight.

As ways of avoiding having Nathan Jones wrestle go, this one was A*. It was really rather brilliant. I've always said WWE is good at oddness.

Wow at the Women's match. Dear JR, yes Victoria and Stevie may be the poster kids for the mentally dysfunctional but we like 'em.

I want to be Jazz when I grow up.

Not that fond of the ending but the rest of the match was good.

The three way tag match was also too short. I really don't like the Guerreros' new entrance. The match really was too short.

Shawn Michaels rocks and so does Chris Jericho. Plus we got seriousJericho! which is always a good thing. HBK is the good kind of cocky.

I winced, shut my eyes, turned away and shrieked, all in a good way. Dude, I believed in the match. And the ending, and Jericho and HBK and the kick and the spit and the oh my this was good.

That's about it.

Having compared what I've seen so far with what the US got, in the UK we got no...

Ashanti singing American the Beautiful. Nothing against the singer or the song, but this is something I am quite glad about.

We got no Miller Catfight nonsense. Again I feel I am not missing much, plus they could really show it because I sense that Miller's isn't a Sky trading partner, plus the UK doesn't get the catfight adverts so it would have been pointless.

We also got no Limp Bizkit, at least so far, and this annoys me. Because I want to see their new guitarist.

And because (says in small voice) I wanted to hear Limp Bizkit, because they're not all that bad. In other words, I didn't like the WM song, heard it ad nauseum and now can't get it out of my head. Like every other LB song I have heard.
