Game: You must have not seen Wrestlemania 17.
Joeiss: It was a shooting star press, not a moonsault, just for the record.
And my opinions, overall I think this was a great PPV, and one of the best Wrestlemania's I've seen. This is only after seeing it live though, the other great Wrestlemania's imo are still great to rewatch today (like WM 3, 8, 17). We'll have to see how this one holds up, but for the first viewing, I have to say I loved it.
Rey/Hardy- Was way to short. Awesome choice for an opener, they did a lot in the five minutes they were allowed, and this was on pace for a pretty sweet match. Cool ending, reminiscent (or whatever the **** that word is) of Owen pinning Bret at WM X.
Taker match- First, I love Rollin as his entrance, so that was cool. Anyway this could have been a train wreck with Nathan Jones in there. As is stands, it was an okay match, not too bad at all. But how long can they hide the fact that Nathan Jones is ****ing terrible?
Women's match- Great match, one of the best Women's matches in a long while. Crappy ending.
Triple H/Booker T- Not great, not horrible. But the ending and who went over (Triple H...) is retarded. Anyone who says Triple H doesn't hold people down was proved wrong again and this time it's official. He hits his finisher, then waits like a minute, puts one arm over Book, and pins him. Booker T can rest well knowing he'll end up with RVD, Kane, Steiner, (and Jericho, although he worked himself back up to a respectable mid carder after a year).
HBK/Y2J- Simply put, AWESOME match. Jericho was the MVP of Wrestlemania. The look on his face when HBK was coming down the aisle, then giving him the finger was hilarious. The sweetness of the match all came to an abrupt end when Shawn ****ing Michaels actually won. Way to ****ing go. What a waste, that almost ruined Wrestlemania for me. Instead of putting one of the hardest workers over (who actually wrestles on house shows, Raw's, and every PPV) they have HBK win. Useless. I don't give a **** if there is a rematch with Jericho winning, this was plain bull****. When HBK got the pin, I was ****ing speechless. I almost wanna stop watch wrestling because of **** like this.
Triple Threat Tag match- Good match, nothing special. Whenever Benoit and/or Eddie were in the ring, I loved it. Not given enough time.
Austin/Rock- Not as good as their other WM matches, still pretty awesome. Right guy wins. Austin lost cleanly, HBK and Triple H should be taking notes. Rock looked like he knew that was his last Wrestlemania though, eh? He thanks Austin and talks to him for like two minutes after the match, pats his chest, soaks up the atmosphere for a long while (especially before delivering the last rock bottom), hugs his family, and is tearing up at the end.
20 Years in the making- Piper... WTF? That was out of nowhere. He sure looks like an overweight grandpa now. Match was entertaining for what it was. The scene of McMahon's bloody face grinning with pipe in hand slowly rising from under the ring was creepy, he looked like the devil himself. Hogan wins like he should have, but Vince dominated. Vince, like HBK and Triple H can kiss my ass.
Brock/Angle- Well, how ironic that the match everyone thought Angle might come out with a broken neck has Brock coming out with an injured neck. The match was pretty great, I liked the beginning of the match unlike everyone else here, and you couldn't even tell Angle was injured. That SSP was SICKENING. Appears to only have a concussion and sore neck, but after the match, he had purple cheeks, his eyes were glazed over, he looked scared as ****, he couldn't stand up, he couldn't even reach for his belt. Angle and Brock hugging after= cool moment.
