The booking of the main event was just bizarre.
You've spent two months selling the entire show around the Rock's involvement in the main event, so you have to know that the crowd won't be into anything until he shows up. Nobody cares about the action, nobody buys the fake finish. Fine.
But then when he does show up, you get 30 seconds and then an immediate payoff? No tension, no suspense, just a quick sneak attack? It's as if the writers really don't understand what makes a crowd work.
Not to mention that they apparently just used the main event of Wrestlemania to set up a feud for the next PPV. Strange.
