And for those who thought she'd never get comeuppance, not only did Steph bump, but she watched her husband get beaten and more than that, watched Bryan become the face of the company. I loved the nod to continuity with heel Armstrong ref. But yeah, it was a night of great Karma for Hunter.

They did those brilliantly. Totally hooked me. The one that really got me was the opportunistic Orton pin. I thought they were going to have him steal it for a minute. I mean, I didn't, but part of me still did.

And that wasn't it! I'm kidding. It was great but I think you can have both. They already went over the 45 minute mark. Let it go three more minutes and have the locker room pour out.

This is when you bring all the babyfaces and legends out to celebrate though.

Oh hell, Randy was not supposed to land on that monitor.

Bless you Hunter.

I wish that Orndorff could work with Zeb

Why the hell isn't one Bella just laying down for the other. They have an open ring.

They almost HAVE to end on a high now.

The scope in that match was so weird. The first F5 was a transition. The second was a cut off.

Needed more Sting. I loved the shot of the googly eyed dude in shock.

It isn't that they are/were shitting on Cena though, it was just a weird crowd reaction, they seemed restless and unsure. Had a weird premonition that Cena goes heel tonight and costs Bryan the belt. They tend not to have such big changes at Mania anymore.

I kind of like this. It started with Wyatt pushing Cena into a dangerous territory, and then choking down on him, but then it becomes this metatextual traditional WWE superhero match, chinlock and all, with Cena coming back heroically in the traditional old WWF style.

Feel good show of the century.

This is the most smile-tastic Mania ever so far.

I think the third act wasn't nearly as bloated as what Trips usually gives us, though. That's what made it come through the finish line well.

That was a killer visual, Hunter coming out of nowhere.

God I wish I could have been a fly in the room when they discussed Hunter doing a Tiger suplex.

It's sad that I actually get excited to see them work a headlock base for the babyface shine. It feels weirdly fresh.

I love that Rock and Stone Cold have a secret handshake.

I really need to dig through the raw data of the DVDVR board one of these days to retrieve my Midnight Rockers cage match rant.

Just watching Warrior interact with other human beings is going to be sort of surreal.

I still have problem streaming just about anything live on my laptop. Maybe it's because i'm multitasking too much or because my wife is usually watching TV and playing on the internet when I watch stuff. I haven't had any problem during the day, really, but at night, it'll go for a few minutes with the live stream, freeze and I'll have to refresh.

There's a video on Wrestlemania Today from Thursday where they have a piece on the Yes Movement with some WWE figures interviewed but also a lot of fans interviewed. Little kids who say that they love Daniel Bryan because of YES! YES! YES!, a little girl who says he has great moves, another kid who likes him because he's a flying goat, and they show all the other media appearances of the Yes chant and quite a bit more and I think that, more than anything else they've done or that he's accomplished, is the craziest, most surreal thing. It's a really well produced video and it just hammers the point home that even though it's the most unlikely thing in the world, it's all real.

I like Solie when he's annoyed at people. There's a great Ivan Putski clip on youtube where Putski keeps singing and Solie gets more and more annoyed.
