WM27: Alberto Del Rio vs Edge Result

Alberto Del Rio and Edge had a great match but unfortunately destiny was not on Del Rio's side tonight at Wrestlemania XXVII (27). Edge has retained his World Heavyweight Championship after barrage of counters and a spear.

WM27: Royal Rumble winner Alberto Del Rio first match for Wrestlemania?

Alberto Del Rio, this year's Royal Rumble winner, has kicked off Wrestlemania with its first match. The Royal Rumble winner has always been billed as main eventing Wrestlemania. To me, "the main event", isn't the same as the first match. The main event is traditionally the last match. In a Wrestlemania it could be the last and also the second-to-last matches but the first? Not really.


Now I know Alberto isn't quite true main event status yet and this feud has been a little lackluster but I at least expected this to be the second or third to last match.

What do you think?

WM27: The Rock ignites Wrestlemania

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is back after seven long years. Yes, that's right! He's here, it's Wrestlemania XXVII (27) time and I'm reporting this LIVE from my computer (via Satellite), of course.

He's out and is opening the show with a few Cena disses and flurry of our favorite Rocky catch phrases. The crowd are popping like crazy to:
  • Finally, the Rock has come back to Atlanta
  • Finally, the Rock has come back to Wrestlemania
  • When I say Wrestle, you say Mania
  • If you smell what The Rock is cooking
If you can name it he probably said it and every minute of it was fantastic! In the span of 5-10 mins he got nailed the job of Guest Host perfectly.

What did you think? And let me know if I missed something above.

Keri Hilson sings America the Beautiful at Wrestlemania

Keri Hilson has opened Wrestlemania XXVII (27) with "America the Beautiful" looking incredibly hot. In fact I didn't recognize her at first. Maybe it was the blonde hair and fair complexion.

Looks aside, I'm not American but I can tell she didn't mess up the song. There were a few trills here and there which I hate with a passion but it was good none the less. She remembered the words which is always a good thing unlike Christina Aguilera's performance at the Super Bowl but let's not go there. This is Wrestlemania baby!

So, what did you think of her performance?

WHUT?! The WWE is NOT in the wrestling business

Despite a claim from WWE publicist, Kellie Baldyga, that "We [WWE] are no longer a wrestling company but rather a global entertainment company with a movie studio", blah, Blah, and BLAH! a follow-up email does little to change her original view to "we [WWE] are a global media company" instead. Apparently this comes right from the top, Vince McMahon. Cue that spooky music from the "dramatic chipmunk" video.

The fact remains
