It was a major omission to exclude Samoa Joe from the WrestleMania card, considering his insane talent and the staggering amount of matches that were booked for the show.

And that's another reason why Raw was better: Joe took part in the show's tag team main event which, while hardly a classic by any means, at least had Joe fighting in front of some of wrestling's most passionate fans.

He'll get his WrestleMania moment, but for bizarre reasons it wasn't this year. The next night's Raw is a pretty decent consolation prize, though, given the show's reputation for so frequently upstaging Mania itself.
