    Taker's quote about the Cole vs Lawler match is legendary. It was something like "there are boys in the back that didnt make the card and we just gave Micheal cole 30 minutes...what hell happen to this bussiness"

      Yeah like Sheamus and Daniel Bryan....totally with Taker on that one.
      This was just a shit Mania in general though. The main event sucked, snooki got co-main instead of Taker v HHH. Punk should have gone over Orton...it was just an absolute clusterfuck of a show.

    A few notes about this show to add on:
    Daniel Bryan and Sheamus had their US title match bumped to a dark match, and it was a lumberjack match. It was a no contest that then turned into a battle royal which was won by Khali. Imagine that.
    Edge didn’t announce his retirement until the week following, not the next day. I was at the SmackDown taping after Mania and Edge was very limited with what he did.
    The match with Punk and Orton has a “film cut” on their 2011 best-of PPV matches Blu-ray set, which is pretty cool.
    The involvement with Austin and Trish may have had more to do with tying in the relaunch of Tough Enough in 2011. Need I say more.
    Surprisingly, this show and the Cole-Lawler match were not given the “worst of” awards from Meltzer that year. Those honors went to Victory Road and Sting-Hardy.
    All of the “fruit loop” jokes feel more tacky when you remember that Michael Cole got into some hot water after calling Josh Mathews a certain derogatory F-word on Twitter and the subsequent make-good campaign with GLAAD. What a company this is.

    Yeah, I'm 99% sure that the disfigurement was supposed to be in Cody's head (important to note that Rey "disfigured" him to end the narcissistic "Dashing" gimmick so that was a brilliant transition in storyline) and while he was initially kayfabe (*or not?) injured, it also caused him to think he's disfigured even after the injury healed. Weird commentary aside, Undashing Cody is still my favorite gimmick of his. His nasal droning voice also worked great for the character promos at the time.

    The big problem with the Lawler-Cole Match was that it took waaaaaaaay too long (much like Bret vs Vince the year prior). Had they kept it to 5-7 minutes and Lawler beating Cole into a pulp with just 1 interference from Swagger and nearfall for Cole it would've been fine. This needed to be a minutely booked angle (like Vince vs Shane at X-Seven) instead of a match. But they went with booking an actual match and that had to fail.

      Same. I liked his Dashing gimmick more but I think that's only because I kept envisioning him winning the World Title with that gimmick and cutting a promo giving tips and eventually making the audience jealous by hoisting up the title and saying this makes him more dashing than everyone else. I was however thrilled to see the Undashing gimmick make an appearance in the Classic PPV review segment to hear Brian's thoughts on it and others in the comments. Cody definitely took it to a whole nother level when he came back "disfigured" with the way he came out not wanting anyone to look at him, with his promos and his theme was great too. Loved the eerie vibe his theme had as it sort of represented this is a man that's forever been changed.

He felt out of place standing in the ring with guys who quite frankly didn't belong in there with him. And then they made him seem like a bully against Cena even though Cena taking shots at him was what started it. Then you add the atmosphere of salty guys taking shots in the back and fans on the internet complaining it made for one of my least favorite periods in wrestling.

    One of the greatest thing about that HHH Vs Undertaker match was how well Taker was selling after the match. A lot of people, myself included, really thought Taker had been legit injured during the match and that the submission finish was improvised to end the match. Undertaker being so banged up that he can't celebrate his victory and requiring to be carted out of the arena was a story perfectly executed.

They even had him say he wanted to tap out Jesus and it didn't work. Then they turned him face and moved him to Smackdown. But the damage was done. Everyone saw the skill level gap and saw Cena get outclassed. The 3 moves of doom wasn't working any more.

    I wonder if the empty arena of WM36 will be part of the future introduction packages at WM.

    "Two storylines back to back where they work a body part is weird..." well, don't watch anything from 2010/2011 then, it was ALL that in almost EVRY feud and match... which is one of the reasons why everybody lost their minds when CM Punk spoke up

    Who would've thought you would see Edge wrestle what appeared to be his last match at 'WWE WrestleMania 27' & finally come out retirement, 9½ years later?...

    I was at this Wrestlemania. It most certainly was not the best. The greatest moment was Undertaker having a different intro and I was apart of the Cemetery cutaway at the end of the match

    The fact that the Snooki six man tag went on AFTER Taker/Tripple H match is a big reason why this is considered the bad mania

    As much flack as it gets from people... I absolutely thought the HHH/Taker return "promo" was absolutely incredible. One of my favorites of this era.

    Man I loved Dashing Cody Rhodes! I thought it was so, so, so, so cool when he'd come out and look in the mirror on the stage.
