The match itself was what I expected it to be: average to better than average.

The finish made this special. Most fans expected John Cena to go over. I know I did. And IF Rock were to win, it would be via disqualification, interference, or some other screwy finish. But Rock winning clean surprised nearly everyone.

Looking at it in hindsight, I'm anxious to see where WWE takes this. More specifically, how they go with John Cena's character and the way he reacts to losing. He needs to have a problem with it.

I do NOT want WWE to try and drag it out for another year. I don't think fans will accept that twice.
