MITB = great match
Flair\Shawn Michaels = definitely the best match of the night. I love the part where Shawn said I love you and I am sorry and then super kicked Flair.
Triple Threat match = I was hoping something better then this. The intros lasted longer then the match. I was shocked that Orton retained I would have bet alot of money that HHH would have won.
Mayweather\Big Show = I knew this match was going to suck and it lived up to that.
Undertaker\Edge = It was an ok match. I am definitely glad Undertaker won

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I was actually shocked by the end of several matches.
As an Orton mark, him winning, and doing so with the concussion kick, which they have built for the last 10 months, is a great way of finally letting him come full circle. The WWE has always let on that they have a lot invested in Orton. Now they have a heel to play foil to Cena for the next 10 years.
I was surprised that JBL won, but that trash can shot to the head off of a suicide dive was motherfuckin' balla. I was hoping MVP would win MITB, but Punk is a good pick as long as they move him to SD! where he can grow.
The WHT match was a very good match, and they made Edge look like a complete fucking badass even though he took a clean loss as a heel (and that's tough to do). I thought the booking committee, save for the ECW squash, did a very good job last night of shocking the audience and having logical endings w/o fucking them.
Floyd Mayweather is a great natural heel, and he played the role perfectly. You couldn't book that match any better given the limitations.
The one thing that did bother me:
I thought the Triple threat match and WHT should have both ran 28-30 minutes. It's Wrestlemania. You can find that time. They came in well short of four hours. To me, that's one of the biggest differences of current WM's--their matches are too short.
All told, though, a great show.
No, it wasn't 17, but it was damn sure the best since 20 (slightly ahead of 22, which had a semi-main of 11 minutes, WTF??)
