I don't think Shawn would get as bad as Ric because Shawn doesn't need the money like Ric Flair does. Ric has to keep doing it because of so much debt with divorces and what not.

Yes, but Shawn was retired and in my opinion, should stay that way. The best of all time along side The Undertaker, but... Shawn has had his massive send off, I think WrestleMania 26 was and should be the last time he laced up the boots. Appearances, general manager, referee... sure. But I don't want him to wrestle again, tbh. Austin and Rock, however, never got true "closure" as in the big sendoff, so I'd much rather see them get closure on their careers than see Michaels return in a wrestling capacity.

I honestly don't get the whole "stay retired" mentality that a lot of people have when it comes to wrestling. If they can still go and put on one hell of a match, then why not? I'm a long time Shawn Michaels fan so I'd love to see him one more time if he feels like he can still put on a showstopping performance.

The only match I want to see Shawn Michaels in, if given the chance is Rock vs. HBK... and those days have passed. Should have happened in 02-03-04.

I actually wouldn't mind to see HBK try to screw HHH over at 'Mania with a Superkick. Then let them feud up until the next PPV or so and have another amazing match like SummerSlam 2002. 'Taker already mentioned HBK being the better man. That match would settle it. If HHH lost he would never wrestle again, and it would be HBK's last match ever.
But that's the only other match i'd be interested in seeing HBK in, tbh.

It has previously been reported that Curt Hawkins was training with The Rock in the ring to help him get prepared for his main event match against John Cena at WrestleMania 28.
In an interview with The Miami Herald, The Rock revealed the other WWE talent who has been in the ring with him.
"I love Curt [Hawkins]. Curt’s been great. Joe Hennig [Michael McGillicutty] has been great, too. I’ve had a training camp for over a year now, and those guys have been tremendous."
Hawkins run in on John Cena! haha Hawkins needs to be on Raw or Smackdown as more than a jobber

I love it. Reminds me a lot of WrestleMania XIX with the really long, but low height stage. Except this is much, much longer. The multi story trons looks awesome, alongside the neon "WrestleMania" text. My only qualm is the white tarping. I am hoping that is somehow covered up with perhaps some flat trons (i.e. a staircase effect) or just not visible/noticeable during the telecast.

Brock Lesnar should be in the crowd the entire show just F5'ing fans. 4 Hours of F5's.

Great fuckin show. Undertaker vs Triple H and Punk vs Jericho were amazing. Rock vs Cena was good but I expected more and the finish seemed kinda like, that's it? I enjoyed the whole show though, I thought Undertaker vs Triple H was match of the night just because we were all on the edge of our seats at my friends house.

My thoughts on WrestleMania.
Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan
- Epic Daniel Bryan entrance. Yes! Yes! Yes! - Oh wait. - Fuck off. - No please, fuck off. - Oh for the love of god, fuck off. This could have been a show stealer... and this? Fuck the fuck off.
Kane vs. Randy Orton
- Kane's entrance could have been cooler... fire around the entire stadium would have been so much cooler. - At least Kane's attire now just has red flames. - Great veteran battle. - Holy fuck Kane wins. What a solid match, and what an epic finish.
Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes
- Cody's attire is fucking awesome, so old school. - Big Show wins. Okay then. At least he got his WrestleMania moment, I hope Cody goes above and beyond into the World Title scene. - For the love of god Big Show, keep the classic title. Don't switch back to the "modern" design.
Kelly Kelly/Maria Menounos vs. Beth Phoenix/Eve
- Not bad. In fact, one of the better divas matches in recent history. - Kelly's seated Swanton senton was fucking immense, brilliant spot. - Did Maria shit her pants? Nope, that's Eve's makeup... - Maria did really well. Also, she's a babe.
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
- Triple H's entrance thing was cool. Kinda underwhelming though. Also, wax your chest, man. - Holy fuck Taker's new robe. - Holy fuck Taker's mohawk. - Holy fuck pyro. - Holy fuck the Cell lowering was cool. - Holy fuck. - Holy fucking god. - This is amazing. - Holy fuck. - Charles Robinson with the save. It's WrestleMania 24 all over again. - No, don't fucking lock the cell back up. - Twenty and mother fucking zero, what a match. - I have been clapping through the house for five straight minutes now. - That hug was an epic moment. I now see how this was truely the end of an era.
Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy
- No seperate entrances? Fuck this, I wanted to see an actual Ryder WrestleMania entrance. - Johnny's suit is orgasmic. - No, those shirts look fucking silly, that them off. - Well this is underwhelming. - Oh here we go, finishers everywhere. - Yes Miz! Go Miz! Yes! Yes! Yes! - No more tag team matches for you, playa! Goodbye, Teddy!
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho.
- This stipulation is retarded. - Jericho's new jacket is retarded. - CM Punk's entrance is not retarded. - This match is pretty good. - This match is really good. - Finally some legit technical wrestling. - Submissions galore. - Yes! Finally Punk gets his WrestleMania moment. What a great match, that final 5-10 minutes was superb.
Brodus Clay.
- Fuck off. - We lost Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus again for this shit? No, fuck off.
John Cena vs. The Rock.
- Machine Gun Kelly, you're fucking retarded. Cena is not an underdog, please just fuck off. - Jeans and fruity pebbles again, Cena? Oh come on, even I don't want you to win now. - Flo Rida and random chick who isn't Sia... no, this is not a live performance, just you two adding backing vocals to the song. You two can also fuck off. - Miami is 90% Rock to 10% Cena. All of the nosebleed seats are obviously the Miami locals. Rock has got the electricity. - Cena... you're turning heel, right? You're acting like a heel. - Cena, c'mon, heel it up. Heel it up in those jorts. - Finishers, finishers everywhere. - Yeah heel Cena, People's Elbow. - Holy fuck the Rock actually won, solid match. - Lesnar? Batista? Tensai? Heel Cena? Anyone?!? - No? Okay.
Overall... wow, I don't know how to put it. A great pay per view, but should have been so, so much more. I dunno, maybe it was more, I'll watch it a couple more times to get the feel of it. Bryan/Sheamus... way to cock that one up, WWE. Taker/Hunter... amazing. Took me a while to get used to Taker's new look, but a great match. Easily stole the show. Jericho/Punk... really underwhelmed by the first half. Shit got good in the second half. Rock/Cena... didn't quite feel like thirty minutes of action, it felt like about 15-20, just with a shitload of rest holds, I guess.
Kane/Orton, like I expected, was to be a good match, marked out hard when Kane won with that badass chokeslam from the top. Pyro was disappointing, to be honest. Both musical acts were shit, but Lillian was great, enjoyed her performance despite obviously not being American.
Overall, I give it an A- at this stage. Would have been an A+, but... Bryan/Sheamus got shat on, we had to ordeal Brodus wasting time and then two very shit musical performances from Flo Rida and MGK. The ending also felt very anti-climatic, seemed more like a live crowd pleaser than a home crowd pleaser Everything else either lived up to or exceeded expectations.
