WrestleMania 25 Results

Results from last night's WrestleMania 25 pay-per-view show from Houston, Texas:

- C.M. Punk won the Money in the Bank match for the second year in a row. Good match with great spots from Shelton Benjamin, Christian and others.

- Kid Rock performed a medley of his hits. Dreadful. This was the worst lip synching job in history. Towards the end the Divas came down the stage for the battle royal.

- Santino Marella in drag won the Miss WrestleMania battle royal. Disappointing because the women didn't get an introduction, thus no one really got any airtime. You couldn't tell most of them apart and couldn't even tell who was in the match. Just a waste. Among those that returned were Sunny, Victoria, Jackie Gayda, Molly Holly and Torrie Wilson. If you want to see who was actually in this match, you can find pix here and here.

- Chris Jericho beat Superfly Snuka, Roddy Piper and Ricky Steamboat in a gauntlet match. Fun for the nostalgia, but kinda sad with Piper and Snuka. Steamboat was in great shape and pulled out some moves from the glory days. After the match, Jericho brawled with Flair, then Mickey Rourke came out of the crowd all business, "boxed" with Jericho and knocked him out. Kinda lame.

- Matt Hardy beat Jeff Hardy in an extreme rules match. A bit of a letdown. I was talking through most of this match anyway.

- Rey Mysterio beat JBL to win the IC title in about 20 seconds. Afterwards, JBL quit.

- Undertaker beat Shawn Michaels. Excellent match. A testament to both of these guys is that everyone knew that Undertaker was going to win, yet everyone was on their feet until the very end. A WrestleMania classic.

- John Cena beat Edge and The Big Show to win the World Title. The best part was Cena's entrance where an army of guys dressed like him lined the entranceway. It was downhill from there.

- The class of 2009 Hall of Fame inductees were introduced. Stone Cold Steve Austin got a huge reaction from the crowd. He came out on his vehicle and drank beer.

- Triple H beat Randy Orton to retain the WWE title in a lame match. Crowd was silent for this. How many more times can they end a PPV show with Triple H winning before people revolt?

Good show overall. I'll be back later with thoughts and pix from my WrestleMania weekend.
