The 7 year theory...

Recommended Posts

Well its being hyped up so much, it will be hard for the event to live up to expectations. I mean, they started hyping it a year before its going to happen, so there has to be a big expectation for this event.

Savage-Flair was the gold standard by which I measured all other matches growing up... I was like 10 when I watched that match for the first time and even then, I thought I was watching something pretty special...

 

I thought 2000 had an "epic" feel to it just because the buildup from the Rumble, thru NWO and then into March was tremendous. Plus, I sat and watched the entire "Wrestlemania: All Day Long" 8-hour pre-show.

 

And save for two booking decisions, I loved XIX this year. Wasn't the best WM of all time, but I like it a lot more than last year. XVIII had one match (Hogan-Rock) and the rest of it just seemed completely flat and uninteresting to me.

 

I think they're walking a fine line with all the hype for XX. Two reasons: 1. By doing that, you are basically downgrading the importance of your other PPVs (you aren't going to see a "SummerSlam" neon sign hanging in the rafters at WrestleMania, but I guarantee you see the WMXX logo there tonight). 2. You set the bar so high for the show that it's pretty much impossible to live up to, especially given WWE's push for making us settle for less.

 

I could very easily see XX being a show that seems great because guys will go all out, but when you put it in perspective, you'll realize that kind of effort and pull-out-all-the-stops mentality was already around during the Monday Night Wars.

I agree that Vince won't let XX suck. How can he with this hype? They put on great shows in the Garden when they're HOUSE SHOWS. Now it's Wrestle-friggin-mania and it's been another ten years. I see HUGE matches going down.
