View Full Version : Wrestlemania
I thought I'd start this off. I'm not watching it as I'm now working voluntary at the local online centre. So I'll have to watchit later.

Roemello 4-02-01, 03:18 AM Unlike last years fiasco of a WrestleMania, this one really delivered!! I was very satisfied. Y2J retained his title, Guerrero won the Euro title (now Test can be moved up to the IC ranks), Edge & Christian won back the tag straps in one HELL of an awesome TLC match....definitely lived up the original and then some!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif
The only downside to the entire night was Angle beating Snaggle-tooth, but at least Benoit got the final word in afterwords http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif
Triple H and Taker put on an GREAT performance. A bit surprised to see Taker win it, but he now holds a couple solid records. Never been beaten by Triple H and I believe he's also undefeated at 9 or 10-0 in WrestleMania's!!
The Gimmick battle royal? Loved it http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif I definitely had a mini-mark out when Mean Gene and Bobby Heenan came out to do guest commentary. I hope Vince hires those two back for the new WCW. I laughed my ass off at that Gobbledy Goober....insane http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//icon36.gif
The Hardcore match was a wild on....almost forgot about that. That thing went everywhere and ended up with a nice fall by Raisin and Big Show...Kane is hardcore.
Vince vs Shane? Couldn't have asked for a better telling of this tale. Trish turns on Vince, Linda awakens and kicks Vince in the nuts, and finally....Shane-O-Mac beat down his old man http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif
And what can I say about the main event? Absolutely awesome and exactly what I expected. They've finally turned Stone Cold into a bad guy. Who would have ever thought you'd see Austin and McMahon shaking hands and sharing a beer.....the perfect ending and perfect beginning to a hell of a run heading to Backlash http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif

I agree with Roem. Was such a great night. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif Taker now holds 10 wins at Wrestlemania events. Was surprised to see Austin side with Vince though. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Can't foret to mention the new women's champ Chyna. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif Loved seeing that. She is so cool.
Jazzmyn
Roemello 4-02-01, 03:55 AM Oh yeah...Chyna took out Ivory very nicely http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif She could be kind of like Moolah was back in the 70's...Chyna can hold that belt forever! There's absolutely no one in the women's division who could legitimately take Chyna.
Another one I forgot to mention that was nice to see was Taz and the Acolytes taking out that accursed Right to Censor. I guess they were the ones to get censored that night http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif

OK, sorry to piss in everybodies wheaties, but Chyna? COME ON! She has no muscle tone left and is a SLOPPY worker. Put the belt on Jacqueline and let her kick the crap out of people. Her or (my favorite) Molly Holly.
Why was Y2J in the opening match? COuld SOMEBODY explain that? Since when does APA vs RTC deserve a better slot than your #2 belt?
OK, MY COMPLAINING IS OVER
WHAT A GREAT PPV. PERHAPS THE BEST PPV IN THE HISTORY OF THE BUSINESS!!!!!!
How great was it to see Angle and Benoit doing the old school mat wrestling, and even break into some near legit amateur style grappling?!?!?! I have no problem with the ending, put Angle over as a pussy who has to cheat to win. Again, it isnt about who won, it is about furthering the story.
TLC II in a word, WOW! Great effort by all involved, and it was GREAT to see my boy RHINO goring the Hardy's out of thier shoes! WHen he picked up Lita, I was SCREAMING, hoping he was going to launch her ass into those tables, or better yet, give her the piledriver throught the table like he did Lorrie Fullington.
I dont care who won, it was just great to see.
UT vs HHH. Good effort by HHH makijng UT look like he is still worthy of a WWF pay check. That chokeslam looked AWESOME until they showed the foam or whatever it was he landed on. But, great ending nonetheless, and terrific match.
Gimmick Battle Royal: Well, imagine how disapointed I was when HONKEY TONK MAN didnt surface! He is GOD of old school, well, at least of mid 80s WWF. This match provided the line of the night: Heenan "We'll be at Wrestlemania 38 by the time the Iron Shiek gets to the ring" Classic BRAIN. Although how sad was it to see one half of the most dominating Tag Team of the 80s for the WWF (Demolition)have to reprise the REPO MAN gig to get a pay day? Poor guy!
Test gets beat. GREAT! No IC push for him though, until he can talk on the mic, keep him a lower card guy!
VInce and Shane. Shane-O Mac is the MAN when he gets in the ring. He made TEST look like the next coming of God a few years back, and he took the fall to end all falls vs Steve Blackman. He pulls out the VAN TERMINATOR on Vince for the pin?!?!?! Give him a belt! Plus Vince looks like an idiot (for the time being) and loses just about everything.
Rock vs Austin. Well, who would have thought that Rocky would get LOUDLY booed when he got ANY offense going. And who would have thought that SCSA would get cheered for turning heel? Am I the only one who thought that they would have a WCW star or two run in and beat on Austin and Vince?
Seriously, the best PPV in at least 3 or 4 years.

Austin got the cheers cause he was in his home state. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif No one there cared how he won as long as he won. Wasn't expecting that ending though. I agree with you on Heenan's line about the Iron Sheik. Was Great to see him and Mean Gene at Wrestlemania again. Will be interesting to watch tonight and see what happens.
Jazzmyn
Roemello 4-03-01, 03:15 AM Well, RAW certainly didn't disappoint....now got Austin and Triple H together!!? Now there's a shocker for ya. I think that beat down The Rock got should be adequate enough excuse to let him go film the Mummy 3 now http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif
Question now is....who's gonna be the head face in The Rock's upcoming absence?

Blaziegirl 4-03-01, 09:18 AM That's what I thought to Roem. Is he still doing the Scorpion King?
Jasper, I to was kind of shocked by Chyna's loss of weight to, her legs looked really skinny.

I think the Undertaker will step up into the position.He's already got a feud going with triple H,He get's almost as big a pop from the crowd as the Rock,and He deserves it.I see this Undertaker/Kane Verses Vince,Austin,HHH,Regal,possibly Big Show(Do I smell a "new corperation" forming)thing about to happen.(Hope Paul Bearer comes back).but I could be wrong.Just my prediction.

Blaziegirl 4-03-01, 10:04 AM I think if Undertaker & Kane take up arms against McDork, Triple H & Austin they better call out the cavalry because I don't want to see those maniacs beat them up constantly!!! I like to see my hero's win sometimes http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

Well, the part of the night that intrigued me even more was Benoit making the save for Y2J. That moment of uneasy tension as they stared at each other was tense and classic. I would love to see them become a tag team and take on the canadian blondes.
As far as HHH and Austin, how do you explain them teaming up. I see with Austin and VKM, that can be explained, but the guy that tried to kill Austin is now his ally? Doesnt seem right. Maybe they will have them run roughshod over everybody untill a later PPV, and have some WCW guys come in and bust them up.

Roemello 4-03-01, 02:44 PM Well, like they always say...."Anything can happen in the WWF!" http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif It's weird, yes, but I like the combo as bizarre as they are. Austin was always a heel until he turned into Stone Cold, so whatever it takes to put him over as a heel again, I'll take http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif I like evil Austin better http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif
There are two guys that are getting pushed up to main event status by mid-late this year....Benoit and Jericho. Jericho's an obvious face and the WWF are leaning towards making Benoit face, so maybe they'll get the step up. As long as I don't have to see that puke Angle anywhere near the main event, I'll be happy http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif I doubt Jericho & Benoit would be made a tag team...they're way to valuable as singles guys to be dropped down to the tag ranks http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

Ok,hows this......Taker becomes evil again,forms a new Ministry of Darkness with Kane and a few others(not sure who,maybe reinvent a couple of the WCW guys characters)and Paul Bearer.They proceed to destroy the new corperation and the sacrifices start again!!!!!!
Ok,thats probibly not going to happen but I can dream can't I.

Roemello 4-04-01, 12:41 AM Actually, there are plans to turn the Taker back to his evil roots when he decides to wind his career down to it's end.....who knows!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif

I like that idea Cultleader. Always liked the evil Taker. I think he needs a female with him though. Me and friend have a lot of ideas on how to work that out. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif

Sinderella, You seem to like the Hady's a bit. You wouldnt happen to have been one of those two girls from the Cleveland RAW with the "ORIGINAL HARDY GIRLS" SIgn would you?

SINderella 4-04-01, 02:39 PM Oh, I'd say it's more than "a bit" http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif But nope, not this time http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//GOOFY.gif I had a "Raw Is Jericho" sign. It didn't get on TV because they were busy showing Y2J dressed as Doink earlier that night, but it did 'accidently' catch some camera time during Vince's Raw/Nitro simulcast; as well as a couple of times during Jericho's match... But you can't see it unless you're actually looking for it and know where to look http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

Well, what a show that was, eh? Loved it. Onlt got one fight wrong and that of course was Angle vs. Benoit. Damn you Angle! Yeah Taker and Kane http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//OFFWALL.gif Yeah Jericho http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif The TLC match was a thriller. Poor Spike, he got the brunt of Jeff's 20ft jump! Oh well! Man that Rhyno one hell of a charger. Almost knock your kidneys out! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif I was very surprised by Austins alliance with both Vince and Triple H. I have one possible idea as to what's going on but doubt that that is it. Why team up with your enemy unless your using them and deceiving them to your own advantage then discard them later on? Not very happy with the way Austin won, but hey, he won! Not a very nice/clean way to do it though. Still overall it was brilliant! well worth the money. Oh by the way, I see none of you have mentioned that girl from Aussie, Brisbane! Blame me! Ha ha ha http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif

Never thought I'd see him any lower than world title status. Strange things are afoot at the WWF http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//eek.gif

I have to agree Roem. I read that too about HHH. Normally read it ahead of time since I work Thursday nights. We'll see what they're up to.
Do you have an idea in mind on how to share Taker Blazie??? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif Had to ask.
Jazzmyn
Share Taker? I'm surprised at how many women love Kane and Taker! They are very popular chaps *in the words of Funaki* <FONT size="5">Indeed</FONT s>
