This match **


Aside from the fact that it's a headscrather why this was even on the card, it was a real borefest.  Batista  barely did anything and had Umaga carry him throughout the show.  The most interesting aspect of  this contest was a unique chant from the crowd for the Samoan Bulldozer: Ooh Ooh Oohmaga!


And the finsiher was essentially a botched spot.  What a waste.  I give it one extra star simply because it was part of Wrestlemania.

I disagree, Gary.  I think Batista is only getting better, and he was able to prove himself with a victory over a bulldozer...not many can say that.  He works the crowd really well when he gets amped and tugs on the ring ropes.  You can't help but feel that adrenaline rush of your own.  I was shocked that he could actually beat Umaga, because, he did carry Batista for most of the match until Batista woke up... he needs to get his belt back, and he just proved himself with this win.

Gary had it totally right, I'm sorry.  I looked like Batista was mad that he didn't really have a purpose even being at Wrestlemania, and he was fudging his way through the match - he didn't even move his arm correctly during his entrance's delayed pyro burst (after the machine gun).  Umaga destroyed him as far as in-ring charisma and making the match.  Batista is sooooo boring I'll say it over and over again... "Hi, I'm really strong and I have a big back tatoo.  Can I get hired?"  Batista had no place being at that event, but I'm glad it happened so that everyone can see he is horrible.  Like Gary said, the crowd even invented a new chant for Umaga because 1. they were bored with the match, and 2. they knew it was Batista's fault.

I don't know why you like when Batista shakes the ropes.  Not sure what it is about wrestlers who shake the ropes (Ultimate Warrior, Batista), but it seems as though they are fan favorites that secretly suck as performers and count on other wrestlers to make them look good.

This match was total garbage.  Dude, like they played this match  on Wrestlemania, but the battle royal was on the web site.  It should have been the opposite.  What were  they thinking?

It seems as though I am one of the last grown Batista fans around.  This match was not highly entertaining, however it kept me on the edge of my seat with the covers over my head, hoping, swearing, and praying that Umaga would not hurt/injure Batista.  I started screaming when he gave Umaga a slimebuster, then a Batista bomb.  I didn't think he had much of a chance against Umaga, but Batista proved me wrong, and I am hyped for Dave!!!  I really wish Dave could go back to Raw and perform because he is an excellent competitor, and he belongs with the best...or, bring back Evolution!

When Batista tried to powerbomb Umage, he fell backwards.  That must have been embaressing.

Umaga is awesome!  For him to have to wrestle Batista at 'mania this year  is an insult.  Umaga should have been in on the title scene.  I mean, wouldn't Umaga versus Undertaker have been a great match.  Instead, we got a match that sucked.

Umaga would've been perfect as the lone big man in on the Money in the Bank match.  He can do big-guy oves as well as athletic ones as well.  He also takes crazy bumps when he needs to.
