by WM 24 – I don’t know, this was a tough one to judge as some matches were solid, and others were disappointing. Once again Randy Orton showed us why he should never be near a main event alongside John Cena and HHH. CM Punk had his coming out party by winning the MITB ladder match.
The Ric Flair retirement match against Shawn Michaels was an instant classic and very emotional. The Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather was a guilty pleasure.
WM IX – Fans love to bag on this WrestleMania for the hokey ending of Hulk Hogan winning the title and Bret Hart getting ripped off. But those same fans forget the Hall Of Famers sitting at ringside calling the action.
The announce team that night was Jim Ross, Macho Man and Bobby Heenan. They were great together. Mix that in with excellent matches such as Tatanka vs Shawn Michaels.
Also, The Headshrinkers vs The Steiner Brothers. Mr. Perfect vs Lex Luger was also good. The card itself featured 15 current Hall of Famers. You would also think men such as The Steiner Brothers, The Undertaker and Lex Luger will end up in the hall as well.
Again, boys and girls, go back and watch this card, it wasn’t nearly as people try to make it out to be.
WrestleMania – The original was such a hit, it saved the WWF and also jumpstarted the greatest tradition in sports entertainment history. The show didn’t have any five-star classic matches, but it had plenty of memorable moments that would help forge the next generation.
WrestleMania IV – A very fun card to go back and watch. It was four hours long and at that time, that was seen as too long. Can you even imagine what fours would feel like now? Almost like a vacation compared to today’s marathons.
The ending with the Mega Powers celebrating Savages tournament championship win, is a memory that every wrestling fan has seen replayed over and over again for good reason. A real classic!
WrestleMania XXX – Daniel Bryan raising the championships over his shoulder to close the night as confetti fell is one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history. A win for the underdogs in life everywhere!
The Undertaker having his steak ended at the hands of Brock Lesnar remains the biggest shock in wrestling history. The rest of the card was solid and this was a night few will forget from the Superdome.
