Wrestlemania XX
Wow. That was a great Wrestlemania. One of the best I've ever seen. Here are the major results:
Christian over Jericho - For my money the best all around match of the night for pure work rate, plus a great heel turn made the angle even deeper. Check it out when it gets released on DVD.
Goldberg over Brock Lesnar - Lesnar is leaving the WWE to go after a career in the NFL (moron) so he basically had to lose. The match itself sucked but the atmosphere around it was surreal. Goldberg and Brock stood in the ring for three minutes before locking up as the crowd was just tearing Lesnar to pieces for leaving.
Guererro over Angle - This match may have been too slow and ground based for some, but I liked it even though it wasn't the greatest match. It was still a very good one with a great creative ending. I'll let you see for yourselves on TV, its too much to explain.
Undertaker over Kane - Man, the BOTCHED the Undertaker's return as The Dead Man. It started out great. The lights went out and then you heard a high pitched "OH YES!" and Paul Bearer comes back along withe the Druids. So does the Taker come back in his full regailia to make the whole unbelievable angle work? NOPE. He basically looks exactly the same with a leather trenchcoat and a cowboy hat. All that build up and they screwed it up completely. Only in the WWE...
Benoit over HHH and HBK - My favorite match of the night. I'm a Benoit mark and his making HHH tap out was one of the highlights of my fandom. After the match Benoit's emotion was palpable. You can't fake that.
