The power failure during the Bunnymania match was one of the strangest and funniest things I've ever seen. It could be seen but not believed. The WWE's been bragging for a year now about their power generators. For them to get caught with their pants down in the middle of Wrestlemania seemed like an act of sabotage as much as science. We were howling with laughter at the idea that some underpaid tech worker was going to join the Kiss My Ass club tomorrow night on RAW and then hear the words "Youuuuuuuuu're FIRED!" When the video board over the ring went out again for almost the entire WWE Title match we were commenting that Vince has some real slackers on his staff who were kicking back and watching the pay-per-view with their feet on the desk instead of manning the ship.

The crowd was very surprised that the WWE Championship match didn't end the show but they immediately jumped to the false conclusion that The Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather would be. No one knew who the marching band was for at first and it was met with a lot of "Huh?'s" even after they played the song. All three men were really over in their own ways, Cena with his loud mixed pop, Triple H with his die hard supporters and Randy Orton with his against-the-grain support. The ending absolutely baffled us. Even after they showed the replay we still didn't understand. From the reaction you could tell this wasn't unique to my section - the whole Citrus Bowl was in shock that Orton won and literally had no idea how. It looked like he won with a knee drop.

The Big Show got almost no reaction at all. It was all Mayweather drawing cheap heat from the crowd. He got a lot of middle fingers and a lot of obscene names screamed at him. The crowd desperately wanted The Big Show to just waffle him. They must have had to bleep Mayweather's return up the isle out completely. The dad sitting next to me with his little kid was getting very agitated.

I have almost never seen a crowd so blown out as this one was for the main event. I don't know if there was a quieter match all night, just that there isn't a quieter one on most Smackdowns. I can only speak for myself when I say that I tried to scream several times and my voice broke immediately. By the time I found a taxi to take me home I could barely be understood. I do feel like The Undertaker is wearing out his welcome with the streak even if the majority of the general public still support him. Even given the very soar throats from yelling at Cena and Mayweather back to back there just wasn't a lot of palpable electricity in the crowd.
