The Following Link has my review of the show.
Overall Score for Wrestlemania 28 8.5/10
1. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs. The All Night Xpress ***1/2
2. Homicide vs. Mike Bennett **3/4
3. House of Truth vs. TJ Perkins & Amazing Red ***3/4
4. Television Title Match: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Jay Lethal (C) ***
5. ROH Tag Team Title Match: Young Bucks vs. The Briscoe Brothers (C) ****
6. No DQ Match: Kevin Steen vs. Jimmy Jacobs ***1/4
7. Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole vs. Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly ****1/2
The opener was a fun match as the fans were into the All Night Xpress, and they looked good during the match. The All Night Xpress got the win after King pinned Benjamin as they were going back and fourth trying to score a pinfall. Next up was Homicide vs. Mike Bennett which was an entertaining match. The fans hassled Maria as they started a C.M. Punk chant. Homicide hit Bennett with the GTS, and Maria tried to enter the ring, and when Homicide was looking at her Bennett rolled him up for a three count. Eddie Kingston was then interviewed by Kevin Kelly as he was getting started Kevin Steen interrupted the interview. Kingston was going to call out Richards before Steen came out. Steen called Chikara a "Micky Mouse" company, and then a brawl broke out. The House of Truth vs. TJ Perkins & Amazing Red was a very good match. The House of Truth got the win after Elgin and Strong hit Red with an Alabama Slam into a backbreaker. The Television Title Match was good. The match ended in a time limit draw which came as no surprise as it seemed that it was going to end that way the whole time. Intermission followed the TV Title Match. The first half of the show was pretty entertaining. The Briscoe Brothers vs. The Young Bucks was a great match. The Briscoe Brothers won after they hit the Doomsday Device. Steen vs. Jacobs was a good brawl with several good spots. In the end Steen got the win when he hit Jacobs with a F5 on two chairs. The main event was a great match. I won't tell you who wins, go out and watch it. This was a very good show.
Overall Score: 8.25/10
I haven't seen any WWE television since Survivor Series, but I have been keeping up with the weekly results. The less I know about what is going on leading into an event the more I enjoy it since I just want to tune in and have a fun time watching the event. The Royal Rumble brings back great childhood memories so I couldn't miss this years event. I know some read the spoilers before the event and knew things were going to happen, but I had no clue what was going to happen during the show.
1. Steel Cage Match for the World Heavyweight Title: Daniel Bryan (C) vs. Mark Henry vs. Big Show **
2. Beth Phoenix, Natalya, & the Bella Twins vs. Tamina, Kelly Kelly, Eve, & Alicia Fox *1/4
2. John Cena vs. Kane ***
3. Drew McIntyre vs. Brodus Clay *
4. WWE Championship Match: C.M. Punk (C) vs. Dolph Ziggler ***3/4
5. Royal Rumble Match ***1/4
I like the fact that they started the show with the Steel Cage match, but it wasn't very good. I couldn't get into the match at all and I found the ending bland. Bryan escaped the cage to retain as this is not the end to the Bryan/ Big Show saga. Next up they showed a video package about John Cena which basically made it impossible to buy into Kane during their match. Before Kane vs. Cena we had a 8 Diva tag team match which was bland and boring. I didn't know why they had this match and I was just waiting for the match to end. Beth picked up the victory for her team after she hit Kelly Kelly with the Glam Slam. Cena vs. Kane was good but I wasn't a fan of the double count out finish. Post match Kane Tombstoned Ryder and then hit Cena with a Chokeslam. Clay vs. McIntyre felt like it should have been on TV instead of pay-per-view. Punk vs. Ziggler was a very good match. Punk retained the title after hitting Ziggler with the GTS. The Royal Rumble was entertaining and never had a dull moment, but a lot of the guys who entered weren't buy able winners. The ending of the match was good, but I feel like there was something missing in this match. This event was solid, but just like the rumble match it was missing something
Overall Score: 7/10
United States Title Match: John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler (C) ***1/4
Divas Championship Match: Eve vs. Beth Phoenix (C) **
Team Barrett vs. Team Orton **3/4
World Heavyweight Championship: Big Show vs. Mark Henry (C) **1/2
WWE Title Match: C.M. Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio ***1/2
The Rock & John Cena vs. The Miz & R-Truth ***3/4
Opener was good, Zach Ryder's pop after the match was great. This was an entertaining way to open the show. Divas match wasn't good, but the ending was great. Rock promo was pretty good. Then we got the traditional Survivor Series match which was okay. The Sin Cara botch hurt the match as it took awhile for the match to pickup again. Some of the eliminations could have been better, but overall they weren't too bad. Barrett and Rhodes were the last two men left after Barrett hit Orton with the Wasteland. Show vs. Henry was good, but the ending was bad. Big Show with a top rope elbow drop was great. R-Truth's promo after the match was entertaining. Punk vs. Del Rio was good as the crowd was really into the match. The Rock did not disappoint as he looked great. Match was very entertaining, and it helped build the Wrestlemania match between The Rock & John Cena. Pretty entertaining event, as nothing on the show was bad.

Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio ***1/2
The Corre vs. Kane, Big Show, Santino, & Kofi Kingston *
C.M. Punk vs. Randy Orton ***3/4
Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole ** (not for the match but for the enjoyment factor. The match would be a DUD but Stone Cold, Lawler, Cole, & Swagger were somewhat enjoyable.)
No Holds Barred Match: Triple H vs. The Undertaker ****1/2
John Morrison, Snooki, & Trish vs. Laycool & Dolph Ziggler ½*
WWE Title Match: John Cena vs. The Miz (C) ***1/4
I enjoyed Edge vs. Del Rio and I had no problem with it being the opener. I would have rated it higher if it was longer but I really enjoyed it. Next up was Mysterio vs. Rhodes. I maybe overrating this, but I really enjoyed the story telling and ending to this match. 8 man tag was way too short to give it anything higher. It had some nice spots, and the ending was decent. Punk vs. Orton was really good as the finish was great. I wasn't expecting nothing too good from this match, but it surpassed my expectations. Cole vs. Lawler was like Hart vs. McMahon from last year. Could have been fun, but it went too long. Undertaker vs. Triple H should have been the main event. I don't care if it is the greatest match of all-time or a complete DUD. Back to the match, what a great match. I thought Triple H was going to win but Taker pulled it out. Nobody cared about the mix tag. Why did they wait so long to put this on? Didn't like the fact that Cena & Miz as the main event. They tried to make this match have an epic feel/ending but it feel short. It was good not great just like this show. Raw GM and backstage segments gave this a RAW feeling which hurt the show somewhat.
Overall Score: 7 /10
