You cannot start with a crappy Cole/Lawler match, especially when Stone Cold is one of the [three] highlights of the PPV. I think they put the matches in the right order, there were some semi-exciting ones before they built it up for the exciting matches/entrances. They didn't go too long with some of the matches, which is really good. I do think they drug out the Cole/Lawler ordeal, I will agree that the Snoop Dogg stuff was awful, and the Rock's Wrestlemania 27 introduction message was too long.
I continue to dislike Randy Orton, CM Punk, The Miz, John Cena, and the lack of "real" tag teams. Randy Orton, John Cena and Miz may be good with a mic, they are awful at acting inside the ring. They cannot get hit without putting their extra dramatic "act" into it. It'd be great if they learned from those that were good with a mic and in the ring. It would be awesome if the WWE put together good tag teams again, The Road Warriors, The Dudley Boyz, The Steiner Brothers, and numerous others can be thrown into the mix were all great tag teams. Now, they just throw random people into the ring together and call them a "tag team."
On a side note, a good friend of mine said that the WWE is dropping the "wrestling" from their name and just strictly going by the formal "WWE" name. Has anyone else heard this? Apparently this is yet another move to the PG-13(esque) wrestling. Taking a lot of the action out of it. Thinking about it, it does make sense. The only thing that was really used last night was a single chair. Yes, the Spanish table was crushed as was Cole's plastic box. But there was no usage of HHH's sledge, no tables (there's always tables!), no sex appeal (which I don't have that much of a problem with, it got over-sexed for a long time), and then you partner this with all the RAWs being very little wrestling and all mic-work. Lame.
So, Undertaker is now 19-0. How much will he be used until next Wreslemania? If Wrestlemania 28 is going to be his last one, who will it be against? My guess is with Kane. It brings his career full-circle doesn't it? I also think it'd be great to bring back Paul Bearer for it. I think that'd be a great way to end his legendary career. It's hard to argue that his character hasn't been one of the best characters developed in the history of the WWE/F.

The fact that the Royal Rumble winner not only opens the show, but loses is 11 minutes is a slap to the face.
The Danielson (I refuse to call him the other name)/Sheamus match was removed from a four hour card is disgraceful. Let me repeat that, FOUR FUCKING HOURS! We also had two matches that were squashes, i.e. under three minutes, and lets not even talk about the Snooki ordeal (BTW, she was a cheerleader. A back-handspring is not a wrestling move).
The HHH/Undertaker match was nothing short of a spot fest. Don't get me wrong, it was the most entertaining match on the card, but it was still a spot fest nonetheless.
As if you can't tell, I believe this Wrestlemania was among the worst ones that they have ever done.
Dragging out a feud for a year is pretty much impossible, especially with weekly shows.
