This Sunday is WM27...

Who's got some thoughts? Who's watching?

America The Beautiful is being performed right now.

The GA Dome is full to capacity and loud as hell. The Rock's music hits and he's on his way to the ring!

If I had to guess, there has to be nearly 80,000 people at this event. I attended WM26 in Glendale last year and was on the floor but this appears to be wayyyyyy more people.

Rock had the crowd do chants it was funny. The Rock is getting the crowd in a frenzy, many Cena sucks and Fruity Pebbles chants. Rock spent nearly 10 minutes and did some catch phrases and basically got the crowd hot.

First match coming up after a short vignette of past WM history and going over some matches for tonight.

Fireworks go off in GA Dome, fans going wild..... Michael Cole talks about how great WM is. First match....

Alberto Del Rio vs Edge........ Didn't expect this as the first match....

I predict ADR wins the match and becomes the new champion.

Ricardo is introducing him now.

Cole, Josh Matthews and King are doing the announcing for now....

Brodius Clay came out to be in ADR corner. Christian is out to be in Edge's corner!

Match underway at 7:24.. Crowd solidly behind Edge... back after the match.

Edge retains his title at about the 11 minute mark with a spear. ADR had his moved locked in twice but Edge got out of it. Edge had ADR in a modified sharp shooter but ADR got out of it and then Edge hit the spear and got the 1-2-3 to retain.

After the match Edge goes to the Rolls Royce, kicks it, climbs on the roof and jumps up and down on it. Christian comes out with a crow bar and club and Edge scratches up the car, smashes the windshield and stands on top of the roof with the belt.

I am surprised with the outcome of this match and suppose they will continue this storyline with Christian and Clay. Not sure where else they would go with this unless they are going to have Alberto tangle with Sin Cara when he makes his debut.

Cole is verbal sparring with King next match....

Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio

This match is more of a filler for me and Mysterio more than likely gets the win. Not sure where they would go if Rhodes wins in this feud.

During the first match the crowd was pretty dead until the last minute or so of the match. Either they have the crowd sound low, or it was just that bad of a match from a crowd perspective. I thought the match was rather slow and prodding, not the type of match you would expect for an opener of your signature event of the year.

Rey comes out in a Captain America mask...

Match underway at 745PM

Rhodes defeats Mysterio at about the 12 minute mark. Another stunning result. This match was better than the last match, more impact moves and crowd involvement. There was actually Cody chants in the crowd.

Cody removed Rey's knee brace and then Rey took off Cody's mask and used it, the ref finally got the mask and then Cody hit Rey with the brace, hit the cross roads and the 1-2-3.

They are now with Teddy Long and Snoop Dogg and WWE stars are performing raps for Snoop. Very odd segment and a total waste of time.

Just a way to get Snoop on along with Rega, Hornswoggle, Zack Ryder and the Masterpiece.

Next up the Corre vs Big Show, Kane, Santino and Kofi who replaced the Moscow Mauler.

This is a goofy set up of matches so far.

match started 806PM

Well that was a waste of time the match is over at 808PM as Big Show hits the punch on Heath Slater after Santino hit the cobra on him.

A vignette with Rock and Eve. Mae Young comes out and Rock pokes some jokes about her age etc etc.. Mae ends up patting Rock's backside and goes. Then Stone Cold comes out and Rock and Stone Cold chat and end up shaking hands.

Punk and Orton history being shown now.

Lots of wasted time so far. There has been more wasted time than actual wrestling time in the ring so far.

35 minutes of ring time and 40 minutes of wasted motion. After the Rock spent 10 minutes in the ring getting the crowd crazy to start the show, they have done everything to get rid of that energy. I am sure UT and HHH and Miz/Cena will get the crowd going but this has been a train wreck so far.


They are introducing Punk and Orton now. I'll go with Punk on this one, but it's likely Orton will get the win. I can't believe they are putting Cole/King this deep into the card. Perhaps the deal they struck with JR isn't for a lot of matches.

match started at 822PM

Orton wins with the RKO as Punk jumped off the top rope. Another slow match.. 12 minutes total.

Vignette with Mean Gene and Rock. Pee Wee Herman shows up as #1 John Cena fan. Rock asks him if he wants to be part of the Fruit Loop Troop and says this is what he would look like and Mean Gene comes back with a Cena hat and shirt on and Pee Wee says he looks like a tool. Gene, goes, I know what you are, but what am I. Pee Wee then joins the Team Bring it.

Commercial for the true story of WM again.

The Fink introduces the 2011 WWE HOF for this year.
