Really fun little match-up. Everyone played their roles well and all the individual little issues continued simmering throughout this match. Seeing Steamboat go like that again was great and it was awesome to see the spotlight on him post-match.
The faces celebrate, and Cena classily let's Steamboat have the ring to himself to pose to the crowd. While Mania may have disappointed many, Ricky Steamboat has been a highlight, no doubt. The other faces applaud Steamboat from the ramp way.
