But mainly The Rock and Stone Cold. Triple H and The Undertaker also square off in a match that will involve a lot of bleeding and Triple H losing. And Rutgers professor Snooki from the TV show is in there doing something. That will be really worthwhile. Also, here are title match predictions and non-title match predictions by Cageside Seats , SB Nation's pro wrestling community and complete coverage of last night's WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Go here for more on all that and how to stream the show live online. If any of the wrestlers on the card aren't able to make it to their matches, the city will surely be able to supply replacements, because so very many of them live here. Title Matches. Edge champion vs. Christian has some pretty awesome entrance music and is one of the more underrated wrestlers out there. In an era where few guys can work, he is a guy who can work and should have a belt on him.
Also calling the action was the ever-so-popular Spanish announce team. It was only a matter of time before they get their table broken. This was a good, not great match. A little back and forth, some outside interference as expected and Edge eventually won with a spear. Rhodes, the son of legend Dusty Rhodes and the brother of Dustin a. Goldust, which is the most underrated gimmick of all time , is now going with a "Dashing" Cody Rhodes gimmick. Thanks Cody, but I liked the gimmick the first time around when Rick Rude did it 20 years ago.
And you will never have a shirt as cool as this one. Rhodes was wearing a Richard Hamilton face mask because Mysterio hit him the face with his knee brace in a prior match between the two. This apparently has disfigured Rhodes. This was actually a really good match.
The beauty of WrestleMania is that the wrestlers will try to do something never seen before. In this case, Rhodes did a vertical suplex from the top rope. It was pretty darn impressive. It was Davey Boy Smith-esque except that it was 10 feet off the ground. Rhodes had Mysterio up there for a good 30 seconds, but felt like two minutes. It was so impressive that the crowd gave it a standing ovation. This was back and forth and had several false finishes.
As a matter of fact, there were times when I thought the match was over and Rhodes kicked out. Mysterio hit Rhodes with his finishing maneuver and Rhodes kicked out. That was surprising. Rhodes pulled out the victory when he hit Mysterio with the knee brace.
It was rumored that Mysterio asked for his release a couple of weeks ago, which he denied , so maybe this was punishment. On the March 4 edition of SmackDown , Cody's father, Dusty Rhodes , came out to talk to Mysterio and asked Cody to apologize for his accusation, but it turned out to be a setup to allow Cody to attack and unmask Mysterio.
The next week Rhodes challenged Rey to a match at Wrestlemania, which was accepted the following week. After the match, Snooki, who observed the match at ringside, took down Lay-Cool after being provoked by McCool. After the match, Sheamus challenged Bryan for the title next week and proclaimed that if he loses the match he will quit the WWE.
After the match, Bryan came out and challenged Sheamus to a match for the title at WrestleMania. Sheamus threw the belt in Bryan's hands and Brogue Kicked him to accept the challenge. It was later announced that the match would be a Lumberjack match and would take place on the pre-show. A press conference was held on February 1, at the Georgia Dome to formally announce the event for Atlanta. According to WWE's senior vice president of special events, John Saboor, Atlanta was ultimately chosen for, among other reasons, "their track record of success with large events, rich in its tradition with the WWE, great infrastructure.
Tickets for the event commenced sale to the public on November 13, Under the deal, Kmart will be the official sponsor for all of WWE's live events in the United States for the rest of Before Wrestlemania went on air, there were two dark matches. He was defending his title against Daniel Bryan in a lumberjack match.
The match ended in a no contest because the lumberjacks got involved and this created chaos. Teddy Long came out and declared a battle royal to settle everything. The Great Khali went on to win the battle royal after last eliminating Sheamus. The first televised match was for the World Heavyweight Championship. In the early part of the match, Del Rio focused on Edge's injured arm. Edge answered back with good offense. Christian warded off Clay and Ricardo at some points.
The ending came when Edge and Del Rio locked in their signature maneuvers. Edge locked in the Sharpshooter while Del Rio locked in the armbar. When both men got up, Edge hit the spear for the win. After the match, Edge and Christian destroyed Del Rio's car. Rhodes wore his facial mask, while Rey wore a knee brace. These two had a very good brawl. Rhodes mainly dominated this match. He reversed the headscissors by Rey into an Alabama Slam. Rhodes also hit a Rey with a superplex from the top rope.
Rhodes was able to capture Mysterio's knee brace. When Rey went for a dive, Rhodes knocked out Mysterio with the knee brace. This allowed Rhodes to hit the Cross Rhodes for the win. The two minute match, however, may have been a false alarm for food breaks due to its instantaneous conclusion.
I cannot remember the last time a heavyweight title match opened a WrestleMania. Jerking the curtain with a major title match is to the major title what the dark match is to the WWE Superstars involved. With so many undercard matches scheduled, it is quite baffling as to why WWE decided to start Wrestlemania 27 with such a high-profile title match between Alberto Del Rio and Edge.
Edge and Del Rio were not deterred by the fact that they were first on as they worked a strong match. The strong match made it even more discouraging that a star-making World Title match was blown off before the Georgia Dome even begun to become stimulated for pro wrestling libido.
Never one to pass on an opportunity for propaganda, WWE's most recent brainwashing mantra is that they are an entertainment company as opposed to a pro wrestling company. This has been part of the long-term dream of Vince McMahon for decades, however never has WWE placed more emphasis on their company being entertainment than now.
Justin Roberts' head-shaking announcement that WWE had set a Georgia Dome record for any entertainment event, inspired confused pundits to waste their time by gathering statistics pertaining to Backstreet Boys concerts in hopes of proving WWE wrong. But when I heard Roberts announce that WWE had set a record for entertainment events in the Georgia Dome, he strictly meant "wrestling" events.
This was part of WWE's ongoing attempt to replace the word "wrestling" with "entertainment" in hopes of further distancing themselves from being perceived as a sport—the likes of which would be more prone to congressional scrutiny for substance abuse and negligence. WWE's censorship mostly of curse words—on pay-per-view no less—was very distracting and took away from the card.
