Wrestlemania xx thoughts (spoilers)
 

well sorry to say i was a tad dissapointed in it.....the thing i was looking foward to so much was not that good...the takers return started out awsum. the paul bearer screamd OOOOO yea and then people come out with torches to lead the way. then he came out. and well....he was the biker taker with a trenchcoat and cowboy hat. this was not the deadman...this was walker texas taker..

Yah, rip-off. And the Trish Stratus/Christian/Chris Jericho storylined officially has turned gay.. err... terrible! Ugh, dumb storyline took a worse turn. What will they think of next? Ah well, at least Benoit won the championship and Gurrero retained his title. Good to see that, but it sucks to see HBK not win the final fight. Well, Radicalz taking over!!!

Most of the show was boring as sin. The four-ways were bland, cena/show was the usual slow stuff, the cruiserweights were given eleven minutes on a 5 HOUR PPV (which is unforgivable) and the womens "matches" were a waste of time. I called the Trish turn about a week ago, because we all know Jericho has to look stupid 24/7 and it's all about SWERVING~! the paying customer with non-sensical heel turns. Me and my friend had been talking a few days before the show how funny it would be if Taker came out as the same Biker dude, and sure enough, he did. All that stupid build up for that? What a waste.

The only redeeming qualities were:

Brock/Goldberg (only for the crowd reaction, they absolutely **** on the entire matchup, chanting you sold out, nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good bye, and goldberg sucks and Hogan at a guy in the crowd who was dressed as Hogan fighting a guy dressed as Savage. That was pure gold)

Eddy/Angle (a decent match up, although I was expecting more from them, but it seemed about ***3/4)

Benoit/HHH/HBK (Benoit looked strong, and I was marking out when he had the sharpshooter and crossface. I was shocked that they put over Benoit clean, but it was a great moment. Geurrero and benoit celebrating in the ring was a great moment, and definetly one of the best moments in recent memory. Match was about **** and the Eddy/Benoit segment was *****)

Great Wrestlemania moments

1. BENOIT IS WORLD CHAMPION: The greatest end to a Wrestlemania since Austin defeated the Rock in the Houston Astrodome, well done Benoit, you deserved it more than Shawn Michales and Triple H, I also give Hunter some mad pops for TAPPING TO BENOIT

2. THE UNDERTAKER: Screw thosae who think this was bad, he looks KICK-BUTT as a Cowboy dead man. match was pretty good

3. Trish's Hell turn was pure GENIUS, get over Jericho's latest loss and cheer for Chirstian, he won at Wrestlemania, AND this storyline got better.

3. Brock/Goldberg: Yup, two wrestlers who can go to hell were booed at the grandest stage of 'em all, the Hogan guy was gold, Austin stunning both Lesnar and Goldberg was welcome, so long Lesnar, don't ever come back, unless you have the guts to handle the pressures of WWE, and get out of here Goldberg, you ALWAYS sucked

4. Ultimo Dragon TRIPPING, LOL

Great Wrestlemania

i did like some of those things, the best probably being trish's turn to the mean girl. she became so hot looking once she turned heel. it was so instant.

i also agree with you about goldberg and lesner. i was so happy and shocked by the crowed. sometimes i began to wonder if wrestlemania is when the true fans come out. the worst part was probably benoit winning. but even so it was an awsum match. benoit actually went through the anounce table. he usually doesnt do things of that nature. i guess im only realy dissapointed in the takers look, but i loved his entrance and specially paul bearer!

Err...no, the majority of the TRUE Fans popped when Benoit, a wrestler who DESERVED that championship more than Shawn Michales or Triple H, won the World Title.

HOLY S*IT...

NEW ROSTER SPLIT NEXT WEEK ON RAW AND SMACKDOWN!

I love the new Undertaker, he's like a Satanic Pat Garret.
Nice mix of Deadman and ABA gimmicks. I can tell he's growing his hair out, and I can't wait to see him get it long again.

Man, as for Benoit as champion. it's about frcking time. I've been such a huge fan of his since WCW days, glad to see him get the big pay off finally.

I totally Enjoyed Wrestlemania XX!

And I'm REALLY looking forward to the Draft next week. New rosters.. this should be interesting.

I pray they don't vacat all the titles and have tournaments when the new rosters are set. *Prays the WWE isn't teasing us with Benoit & Gerreuro*

I also hope they don't split teams and try singles pushes again. We don't need another Reverend De-von, Bubba "Tough" Duddley or a singles push for Bradshaw (or any Bradshaw for that matter)

*EDIT* Oh, and Benoit verbally shutting HHH up, then slaping him down on Raw was great. Benoit > all.

I'm going to throw a huge fit if all the titles are vacated. Eddie and Chris so diserve their Title reigns.

none of them should have won it. they should have all cancled each other out. benoit is just too ugly to have a title. he has no gimick either. only thing he has is some wrestling skill which i could care less about. i have no respect for him or peole who do what he does.

Yeah. Altough I wouldn't mind them vacating the Smackdown titles, moving all the teams to Raw, and just having on Tag Team Division. They don't really have enough teams to carry two divisions. Here's how I'd do my Titles:

Raw: World Title, IC, Tag Team
Smackdown: WWE Title, US, Cruiserweights

Women can go where ever, it doesn't really matter as there's only about 3 women who can actually wrestle that are still active wrestlers.

... I would have demanded my 50 dollars back.

i would have gone crazy cheering in my cousins basement. i think we all would have. just think about it..the lights go out then thier all laying out. then they never come back again!

then we could have gotten rid of some more of the worst...im just happy brock and goldberg are gona be gone now. that made my night when they boo'd them so much. specially when goldberg tried to drink the beer.

Benoit is TOO UGLY TO BE CHAMPION?

Well, someone is being ignorant, Benoit's talent speaks for itself, he's worked his ass off to get where he is, but Noooooooo, a HANDSOME wrestler should win the title, not a lowly ugly guy like Benoit

That reasoning is pathetic, and you call yourself a fan of this buisness, take up bowling buddy, you're no fan with that reasoning...

Oh wait, I just read that you have no respect for people who WRESTLE, you really ARE a fake fan, pfff, pathetic.

the undertaker? I remember him from the time when wrestling was famous in switzerland (like 8-10 years ago).

is it still the same undertaker? I always liked him best...

I can understand Brock being booed, but why Goldberg? Was it that stupid spear he gave Austin ACCIDENTALLY that made everyone turn on him? I still love Goldberg (until I find out why the hell everyone hates him).

And this Trish/Christian connection sucks so much. I mean... GAH... BLAME CANADA DAMN IT!!! :tlol:

As for Benoit winning, it's about damn time. Seeing Guerrero and Benoit celebrate in the middle of the ring, both Heavyweight Champs, almost put a tear to my eye. The confetti, the friendship, the hardwork both put in. They've been in this together, and just seeing them both overcome some of the hardest opponents of their respected programs was a joy. I hope they reign supreme for a loooong time. And I'm glad it was done on "the biggest stage of them all".

But one problem... WHY ISN'T RHINO BEING BOOSTED DAMN IT!!! That needs to occur NOW!

1) He's leaving the company
2) He sucks

I have a question...how much does Wrestlemania cost on PPV and how much do regular WWF PPV's cost?

I believe they all cost the same, don't they? And it was $50.

$50!!! Wow that is a lot. When I watched wrestling it was $30 but i think it was $40 for a wresltemania. Is it really worth it for $50?

Wrestlemania was $50, regular are $35 I think. I don't order on a consistent basis, so I'm not sure if that's the price. And yeah, WM was worth the $50.

Ric Flair attempting to do the People's Elbow... priceless. :D

Wrestling ain't the same without the Outsiders, they were so cool.

Oh yes, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, they OWNED when they could, you know, WRESTLE.

Then Nash and Hall became backstage morons, Hall has a drinking problem, and Nash sucks.

Nash could wrestle? Coulda fooled me.

yes he is too ugly to wrestle. believe it or not looks matter in wrestling. benoit is a joke, he looks like a joke and has no mic skills. sure he can wrestle, but boo on him. and yes i am a fan of the buisness, but come on man i want everything from a wrestler. having good wrestling skills can be the iceing on the cake, but by itself its just iceing which is not fullfilling without the mix. I dont not like shawn michaels as much as i used to but he is still a beter wrestler then benoit and way more entertaining. his selling is his best atribute though...what sucks about him now is his happy attitude. hes just happy all the time. come on where is the cockiness i used to know and love??? then you have tripple H....he is deffinatly a has been. he has been doing the same thing for years...nothing different. like i said a good cancleation of these 3 would be the best thing to happen. none where deserving. but i guess id rather have HHH or michaels to win than benoit. i was on the edge of my seat wanting HHH to get the ropes. i didnt want to ugly man with a title. Now onto eddie....he would have been good as a cruiser weight champion. i about puked seeing him and benoit at the end. that ruined the end of the paperview. my favorite part of this PPV was the taker's entrance. that was just so cool with paul barer and all.

Okay, so let me get this straight: it's not his actual skill in wrestling that makes him a great wrestler, but an image? If I'd known any better, I would have mistaken you as one of those MTV groupies who believes buying Em CDs and listening to Tupac means you know all about hip-hop. So when has wrestling all of a sudden not mostly consist of skill? I mean, after all, the main objective of the industry is to make people believe it's your ability that will get you by. Okay, since we're going to speak ignorant... I'm going to say Michael Jordan, back in his time, was a terrible basketball player! Sure, he scored baskets and played the sport well, but he didn't have the hairstyle that everyone else rocked! Better yet, his tongue hanging out while he dunked was so horrible! This should automatically disqualify him from being one of the best! *snickers*

So because Benoit's "ugly", this excuses his 15+ years of wrestling without even as much as touching Heavyweight Gold? So what you're saying is he shouldn't be rewarded for spending half of his life doing what he did with so much energy? I don't know what kind of wrestling you watch, but even as choreographed as this stuff is, Vince can still reward those who've done what they've done for so long. I applaud Benoit's accolade, especially since he's done this probably longer than Triple H or HBK (can't be too sure though).

But hey, if you're all about image, then go for it. But when you do that, you can't really call yourself "a fan" and you can't really say your words are worth anything.

i am deffinatly a wrestling fan. ive been watching ever since i was a little boy...wrestling skill IS important, but only to have that is boring. at least to me anyways.. i want a combination...which means gimick, wrestling skills, selling ability...heck even lodi told me dean malenko could take/do any wrestling move in the book, but he was boring as crap to watch. oh yea mic skill is very important to unless your gimick requires you not to talk visa vi, the undertaker...and in his case he has someone to talk for him which is paul bearer. a wrestler is realy awsum when he has all of these things. i just boo wrestlers who come out with nothing ..i want to be entertained as soon as those two feet come out the entrance, to the ring, then out of there. that is a true champion...and thats why benoit could never be one. hes a dweeb..

Michaels can't sell. He can bump, very well, but his selling is inconsistent.

Taker hasn't been doing the same thing for years? For 9 years he was a dead guy, then for 3 years he was a biker. 2 Gimmicks in 12 years. Triple H has had 3 gimmicks in 8 years (blue blood, DX, and The Game) so he has a larger variety then Taker, in less years.


Wrestling has been around for 100+ years, and only the last two decades have mic skills been remotly relevent. And that's only in North America, Japan doesn't give a crap about mic skills, and they sell out far bigger arenas then the WWE ever will.

And, last I checked, WWE stood for World *WRESTLING* Entertainment, not World *SPEAKING* Entertainment; entertainment through wrestling, not through speaking.

just ahree to disagree because i have my reasons for liking wrestling just like you...i have already stated my opinion and now you have.

My theory: She likes it "rough"

you are right.

Kurt explained that he turned on Eddie because he didn't like that a former drug addict who promotes lying, stealing and cheating was WWE champ. He wanted to get the belt so that the fans would have a moral champ to look up too.

Eddie wasn't world champ or main representation of Smackdown then. Now that he is the champ, he is.
