"Wrestlemania XXVIII" has come and gone and this edition of Wrestling Rehash grades the best and worst moments that the biggest wrestling event of the year had to offer. Rather than our usual Wrestling Rehash that points out the good, bad and ugly from the previous week, we take a look at the entire Wrestlemania card and grade each and every match. As always, some were great, one was friggin' stupendous and others were just...well...whatever.

As fans prepare for "WrestleMania" this Sunday, the final week of wrestling is supposed to put that nice little bow on all of the matchups heading into the WWE's biggest event of the year. Well, the writers kinda screwed up and whipped together a program right before 'Mania that was a perfect substitute for Nyquil. This past week of "RAW" pretty much did nothing to further the biggest matches of the year. The big three (John Cena vs. The Rock, CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho and Triple H vs. Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell with Shawn Michaels as special guest referee) saw their story lines fizzle with redundancy (Chris Jericho ribbing on CM Punk's family oozes of snoredom). Also, a crapshoot of matches seemed put together just to make sure some of these guys had something to do (Kane vs. Orton = zzzzz). We're still going to watch "WrestleMania," we just wish that the build for some of these high-profile matches would have been better...a lot better. Oh well, at least we'll probably see a Spinaroonie.

We're less than two weeks away from "Wrestlemania" and the only thing we're wondering is why is Kane still allowed to speak. Sure, there are some other pretty important things going on in the WWE, but that damn Kane needs to shut his trap! Meanwhile, we wonder aloud what happened to the The Miz' career and applaud the drama between Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Undertaker.

Even though the main event for "Wrestlemania" is clearly The Rock vs. John Cena, the rematch between Undertaker and Triple H with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee in a Hell in a Cell match has been stealing the show as of late. Although most believe that there is no way that Undertaker's streak will end at the hands of HHH, the insertion of Shawn Michaels as the referee has brought an added element of drama to the match. Their recent exchange on "Raw" where Undertaker told HHH that Shawn Michaels was better than him was gold and we're starting to become more enthused about their match rather than the main event. Go figure.

'Tis the season for "Wrestlemania." Some wrestlers get an amazing match for their gift while others get a big fat lump of coal. Over the past week, some wrestlers found out that all the good matches were taken and got stuck with lousy matchups. Oh well, it happens. Meanwhile, we saw the return of Dr. Thugonomics and some wrestling gear gone totally wrong as we recap the past week in the wonderful world of professional wrestling.

For weeks we tore a hole into the abomination known as the Kane-John Cena angle. It was wretched, corny and lacked any rhyme or reason. To make matters worse, the WWE pulled the okeydoke on fans when the big payoff at the "Elimination Chamber" pay-per-view was Cena not embracing the hate, but instead winning clean. Hear that sound? We're snoring. It was an absolutely useless angle that did nothing for anybody involved. However, it wasn't the worst. We decided to dig into the pro wrestling vaults and remind you of the absolute worst story lines in the history of pro wrestling and good God are these bad.

On Feb. 19, WWE champion CM Punk started a Twitter battle (Twattle) with Chris Brown when he tweeted: "I would like @chrisbrown (to) fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a #wrestlemania moment."
In a tweet (which has since been deleted), Brown wrote this:
"@CMpunk needs more followers. He’s such a leader! not to mention the roids he’s on has made it utterly impossible for him (to) pleasure a woman."
Unbeknownst to Brown, Punk is a proud member of the Straight Edge lifestyle and doesn't use alcohol nor drugs and definitely not steroids. Punk has "STRAIGHT EDGE" tattooed on his stomach and "DRUG" and "FREE" inked on his knuckles.
Brown continued..."@CMpunk contact my assistant and I'll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!"

If you watched WWE's "Elimination Chamber" pay-per-view this past Sunday, you're upset that you wasted your time on that bowl of doo-doo and would have rather spent your money at a run-down strip club that reeks of cigarettes and sweat instead. That's why this week's Wrestling Rehash column has been affectionately coined "The Elimination Shame-ber." Yes, there was some good this week from John Cena (shocker!) and some ugly that resulted in one of the top stars getting injured for no damn reason, but the WWE's PPV gets top billing simply because of how pointless it ended up being.

On the eve of WWE's Elimination Chamber pay per view, the WWE had one of the more awkward weeks in recent memory. Aside from the awesome exchange between Shawn Michaels and Triple H, Raw this week was a total head scratcher. There was some weird debate leading up to the Elimination Chamber match for CM Punk's WWE title, a bunch of ho-hum matches and poor Zack "I'm A Crash Test Dummy" Ryder getting beat up (again). But that wasn't the worst of the worst. Rather than John Cena embracing the hate, he embraced something else. Read on...

The good ol' gravy train to "Wrestlemania" is picking up steam and after that craptastic "Royal Rumble," the past two weeks of "Raw" and "Smackdown" have helped us regain some faith in the WWE. This week was all types of interesting as we finally got some friggin' answers regarding Chris Jericho's promos. However, the meandering snooze-inducing Kane-John Cena rivalry continues to bend our brains backward. Then there's that little thing about WWE Diva Natalya farting...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a busy 2012 ahead of him. He already has "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" getting ready to hit theaters along with his turn as Roadblock in the upcoming "G.I. Joe" sequel. But for wrestling fans, we are ecstatic to know that on April 1 he will square off with John Cena in an epic showdown at "Wrestlemania XXVIII." Woo-hoo!
In mtvU's new series "5 Questions With...," The Rock is featured in the first episode. In the conversation, Johnson even teaches us how to do the pec pop of love. Inspired by the show, we decided to reflect on The Rock's greatest in-ring moments. Cue sense of nostalgia for "The People's Champ."
