The Mandarin

I thought it was awesome. Evolution look really strong, Jericho and Trish are hopefully going to "geddit on", Booker T is finally winning again, and the Batista/Michaels and Dudleyz/Jindrak & Cade seem to be shaping up nicely. And what I liked most is that all the results were short, and to the point. You were able to keep my attention the whole time, and I enjoyed it all. Great job, can't wait to read more.

I'm pretty sure the Emerald Frosion is something like a sitout powerslam.

Get Kurt Angle out of that list, and it's fine.

Let me try to recall some from the past.. 2001- Billy Gunn 2002- Mr. Perfect 2003- Batista

'Twas a decent show. Just okay..nothing too great. Man, RAW is leaving SmackDown in the dust.

Just curious, are you juding that while taking in all the other crappy, 4-minute matches that have occured over the course of the last 6 months? Because if that match (which I personally liked very much) was awful, then I can't think of many matches this year that would get past a -** level.

Because I have an optimistic opinion of all wrestling shows, and don't go into each show every week already casting my negative opinions about it.

WrestleMania III- What the World is Watching As WrestleMania drawed closer, one thing was questioned: Could Hulk Hogan defeat the immortal giant? Hogan swore up and down, with the power of his Hulkamaniacs, he could achieve anything in the ring. But would the Hulkamaniacs be enough to stop this beast? But as this feud neared it's conclusion, it seemed as though there was much, much more to this story. WrestleMania III- April 5, 1987 World Title Hulk Hogan © d. Andre the Giant with a bodyslam/Leg Drop. Harley Race d. Tito Santana Honky Tonk Man d. Roddy Piper by disqualification, when Piper smashed a guitar on Honky Tonk's head. Brutus Beefcake then helped shave his head. Intercontinental Title Ricky Steamboat d. Randy Savage © to win the title. Savage had become the champion when the previous champion, Tito Santana, was forced to vacate it due to injuries suffered by an attack from Savage. Jake the Snake Roberts d. King Kong Bundy Hercules d. Hillbilly Jim Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff d. The Killer Bees Tag Team Titles The Hart Foundation d. British Bulldogs © Rick Martel and Tom Zenk d. Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake Junkyard Dog d. Adrian Adonis Kamala d. Koko B. Ware With Hogan having defeated everyone WWF has to offer, it seemed as though he would reign supreme forever. But everything was about to change. Before a scheduled match with "Million-Dollar Man", Ted Dibiase, two of the most dominating men in the business, the rookie Bam Bam Bigelow and Andre the Giant attacked Hulk Hogan, brutally leaving him a mess on the canvas. As much as Hogan tried to battle back when the match was started, it was no use. Hogan eventually lost the match, and the World Title, to the Million Dollar Man. As Dibiase celebrated, paying off his hired thugs, a now-popular challenger was waiting for him at WrestleMania IV: The Macho Man, Randy Savage. Title changes until WM IV: World: Ted Dibiase d. Hulk Hogan Tag Team: Strike Force d. Hart Foundation

WM II- Two Times the Action! With Hulk Hogan's health fading, King Kong Bundy and Roddy Piper used the opportunity to attack. Hogan was left a bloody mess on the mat as Bundy and Piper continued to attack. While the two goons bickered to whom should recieve the title shot at WrestleMania, Mr. T made his triumphant return, swinging a chair all the way. As Piper and Bundy ducked out, 'T tended to his fallen friend. It was decided then, that Hogan and Mr. T would face Bundy and Piper..in a cage! WrestleMania II- April 7, 1986 Hulk Hogan and Mr. T d. King Kong Bundy and Roddy Piper in a cage match when Hogan and Mr. T hit stereo legdrops. Ricky Steamboat d. Terry Funk when Steamboat splashed him off the top rope.

Adrian Adonis when Muraco made Adonis submit to a full nelson. Hercules d. Uncle Elmer when Hercules hit a boot. Jake Roberts d. George "The Animal" Steele when Roberts made Steele doze off during a sleeper hold. With Hulk Hogan seemingly invincible, a big opponent was needed. Andre the Giant, very upset after losing the Battle Royal, got too cocky and declared that he could crush anything in his path..including Hulkamania. After adopting Bobby Heenan as his manager, one of wrestling's biggest feuds was born. Title changes: Intercontinental: The title was switched back to Savage, when Santana was brutally attacked by the Macho Man, following the match. Tito Santana d. Randy Savage Tag: British Bulldogs d. Dream Team

WrestleMania- The Beginning We all know how WrestleMania started of course. With Hulkamania drawing in large numbers, the WWF had drastically changed it's federation. Circus-like characters dominated the federation, lead by the World Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan. No longer was it a sport, but a form of entertainment. And to capitalize on it, the "Granddaddy of 'em All" was born. WrestleMania. Now, starting on January 1, 1985, here's the last 20 years of WrestleMania, rebooked, in chronological order. It gets more detailed as we go along. WrestleMania I- March 31, 1985 World Title Hulk Hogan © w/ Mr. T d.

Iron Sheik won by kicking JYD in the face with his boot, knocking him out. He then put him in the Camel Clutch for the easy victory. Paul Orndorff d. Mr. T with Roddy Piper's help. Piper provided the distraction that Orndorff needed to capitalize. Women's Title Wendy Richter w/ Cyndi Lauper d. Lelani Kai ©. Richter won with a backdrop off the second rope. Tag Team Titles Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham d. Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch ©. Rotundo, soon to be known as I.R.S, made the pin on Adonis for the 3. Tito Santana d. Matt Borne- Tito won with a piledriver. Nikolai Volkoff d. Brutus Beefcake- Volkoff wins with a stiff clothesline. Hogan dominated for the next few months, but it seemed like as his opponents grew in size, Hogan's stamina began to wear down. Would he be victorious at the next WrestleMania?
