Do you think...

[EricMM 0]

WMXX seems to be a pretty hot topic these days.

 

Who's maining and who's not maining.

 

I just want to get people's guesses and gut reactions.

 

For such a huge moment as the twentieth Wrestlemania, will WWE be able to bring about a show that will be memorable, or will they drop the ball?

 

Given the performers likely to be there, the angles likely to occur, do you think you will pop, will you mark out, will you REMEMBER and ENJOY this coming Wrestlemania?

[Guest Frank Grimes]

I think it will be very good. No, probably not the best one ever, but it's WrestleMania and they almost always bring their A-games to that and with such a special one as #20, I think it will be a very good show.

[Tawren 0]

It'll suck, just like WM19...I don't know why people like WM19. It sucks.

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

Of course it will be good. And by the way, WM 19 was good. Probably my favorite wretlemania. Well, right behind 17 and 3...and 10....well, mybe just 17. Michaels vs. Jericho was fantastic! The last 5 matches all could;ve been main event matches for other PPVs, and the last one fit well with Wrestlemania, Angle vs. Lesnar.

Micheals/Jericho sucked the penii.

That kind of arguement only works at the EWB..go back there.

I'm feeling less optimistic about WMXX, especially since Meltzer's latest news.

WrestleMania XIX was awesome. It had that old "WrestleMania" feel to it and all the matches save for the tag, either met or exceeded expectations.

Please, tell me what was so great about Micheals/Jericho, or any other WM19 match, OTHER than "better than I expected".

Of course.

I didn't like Mania 19 that much either.

I wasn't partial to Micheals/Jericho but I thought Michaels/Jericho was very well done

WrestleMania XX hasn't happened yet.

[Guest hhheld_down]

HHH/Orton for the World Title and UT/Kane doesnt really excite me to spend 50 bucks... UT/Kane is a lock.. HHH/Orton is rumored but hopefully doesnt happen

WM XX Never happend silly.

 

 

And anyway...

 

 

HBK/JEricho = awesome but HBK should have jobbed.

 

Brock/Angle = awesome...to an extent. Brocks botched SSP ruined the ending

 

Rock/Austin - not their best, but better than wM XV. Austin tried his best even though he was half-crippled at the time.

 

Hogan/McMahon = mark out match cause Hogan rules.

I think WMXX will probably end up good, but it won't live up to the massive expectations people will likely have for it, being the 20th Mania and all.

Typo.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Hogan/Vince was probably the worst 20 minutes I've spent watching wrestling.

 

Austin/Rock wasn't good...it was punch kick for 10 minutes then another 10 minutes of finishers. It lacked anything that made the Mania 17 match great.

 

Angle/Brock was good. Jericho/HBK was decent...but I don't buy for a second that it was great.

 

Booker/HHH was slow and boring.

[SamoaRowe 0]

My question just is: why do so many people hate Wrestlemania 19 so much?!? All I ever hear is "it sucked." Sorry, that explanation does not hold ground. WHY did it suck. Was it because Triple H beat Booker T? Was it because Benoit was stuck in a midcard tag team match? Or was it because Brock Lesnar fucked up the shooting star press?

 

Wrestlemania 19 was a great show that had many memorable matches. I liked every match on the card (yes, even McMahon vs Hogan). The show had some serious drama in it, and it's one of my favorite pay-per-views of all time.

Yeah, but the hug made up for it. I haven't sportsmanship like that since WM 6 with Hogan / Warrior. That was a nice moment.

 

 

 

And yeah, I enjoyed WM 19 very much so except HHH winning.

Sheesh, I'll go indepth. No problem.

 

Matt/Rey: decent, too short

ATrain/Big Show vs Undertaker: slow brawl, not interesting

Victoria/Trish/Jazz: sloppy mess

Haas/Benjamin vs Benoit/Rhyno vs Los Guerreros: solid, too many suplexes, no real substance

HBK/Jericho: pretty sloppy, back work leads nowhere, stupid finish, wrong guy goes over

HHH/Booker: too slow, too much resting, wrong guy goes over

McMahon/Hogan: when seniors collide! slow mess, just garbage, no substance

Rock/Austin: punch-kick for 10 minutes, add finisher-rest-finisher-rest-finisher-rest til end

Angle/Lesnar: OK match, too many suplexes and punches, botched finish (although that doesn't hurt it much)

[SamoaRowe 0]

Sheesh, I'll go indepth. No problem.

Just to clarify, I was addressing the board in general. But it was good to hear your opinions about the show. I disagree on a few of the matches but that's alright.

Yeah, I got that

 

Anyone else care to go match by match on the show?

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Tawreen...how many suplexes would constitute "Too Many Suplexes" in your eyes?

 

Just want some clarification there.

Hehe, I personally like suplexes... except when Scott Steiner is doing them.

[Guest PowerPB13]

"Do you think..., ...WMXX will be good?"

 

No.

When almost every third (or more) move is a suplex, when it is all they do...Taz matches, that's an example

I'll just do the undercard matches since I kinda touched up on the Main Events:

 

 

Rey/Hardy: Too Fast, not enough time to mean anything.

 

UT v. Show/Train: Decent since UT usually works a notch harder at the big shows, and w/o Jones, it was better than I expected.

 

Three Way Tag: Too quick, didn't really like it because of hating triple threat tags.

 

Jazz/Trish/Victoria: I hate Triple Threats, but this was pretty decent. Better than thw wM x-8 womens title.

 

Booker/HHH: Decent, but the wrong guy went over, and that just soured the whole matc, but I was marking out a few times when Booker almost won.

 

So pretty much the first 2 hours sucked, but I enjoyed the last 2.

Matt/Rey: Very good, but very short.

 

ATrain/Big Show vs Undertaker: Wasn't painful to watch.

 

Victoria/Trish/Jazz: See above.

 

Haas/Benjamin vs Benoit/Rhyno vs Los Guerreros: Very good, but a little too short for my tastes.

 

HBK/Jericho: Aside from the crappy finish, this was a GREAT match, best of the night and one of the best of the year.

 

HHH/Booker: Decent. Didn't set the world on fire, but it had its moments.

 

McMahon/Hogan: Fun for what it was. Little too long, though.

 

Rock/Austin: I haven't seen their X-7 bout, so I only can compare it to XV, and it blew that right out of the water, especially the ending.

 

Angle/Lesnar: Really good match - a notch or two below Jericho/HBK, but still an awesome effort.

HBK/Jericho: Aside from the crappy finish, this was a GREAT match, best of the night and one of the best of the year.

Can you (or someone else who loves this) please tell me why you like it so much?

Not really.

 

I don't know why I like it so much - I can't bullet-point the reasons. I just know that when I first watched it (and when I go back and watch it every now and then) I really really like it. Aside from the crappy finish, everything was done just right.
