Ace Austin 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 One of my fav. wrestlemania matches was last year's match between Shawn Michaels and Mr. McMahon. The size of that ladder still amazes me. Now we definitely know that HBK isn't afraid of heights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Am I reading this correctly or did you say WM 9 was your favorite WM ever? And by the way, the Vince/HBK match was dull as hell. It was a squash that lasted about 20 minutes. About halfway through I just wished Michaels had pinned him and ended it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Good to see Bret/Owen getting love. The greatest "curtain jerker" match of all time. Favourite matches Bret/Austin Steamboat/Savage Bret/Owen Hogan/Warrior Hogan/Savage Austin/Rock WM 17 Savage/Warrior HBK/Razor HBK/HHH/Benoit HBK/Angle Favourite Moments Hogan slamming Andre Austin passing out at WM 13 Austin turning heel HHH first heel to retain title at Mania Elizabeth to the rescue at WM 7 Macho winning 4th match in tourney Hogan losing to Warrior Flair post Mania match interview after losing title Hogan/Rock at Mania Top Manias III-seriously this made Mania the legend it is and this event was all over the media from Entertainment Tonight to George Michael Sports Machine etc. Hogan and Andre is still the most known Mania match and arguably still has the greatest Mania match in Steamboat/Savage. I also liked how they mixed up the card with midget/big man match, battle of the full nelson(masterlock the 80's called and wants its gimmick back), birth of the Barber, opening tag match etc. IMO, this is the GREATEST MANIA Card ever that got even the media worked up(Hogan slamming Andre was on front page news here). The event made more money since then, but I don't think it ever reached the level of heat as Mania III with stuff like Piper's "farewell match" Just look at the crowd when Piper put him in that sleeper hold and Beefcake becoming the Barber(I guess the hair vs. hair with Trump/Vince is taking a cue from this). X-7 So far this is the closest event to WM 3 in terms of the height of heat heading into the event with all the wcw signing and Austin/Rock peaking around this time. Good overall card as well. Austin turning heel is awesome to see as well. It comes off as a farewell show to the Attitude Era. The company hasn't been the same since. Very similar to what happened after WM 6. VIII There was a time when I wouldn't have ranked this so high, but in retrospect this event is Mania at its finest in terms of big Manias. Piper/Hart, Sid/Hogan, UT/Jake although that ending was lame, and of course Flair/Savage along with HBK/Santana. Like X-7 this event felt like a farewell show to the old guard and the company wasn't the same after this event for years until perhaps WM 14. X 2 5 star matches alone ranks it up there, but the angle of two title matches is classic. As well going back to MSG for the first time. XX This show is classic. Last time we saw Rock in a wwe ring doing actual wrestling. Benoit winning the title and seeing the crowd explode was nuts. Lesnar/Goldberg I loved for the trainwreck. VII At the time I HATED this event and I think it all had to do with Slaughter. Looking back on it now this was a really good Mania though. I would show non-wrestling fans these Mania shows to really showcase the best of Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Vader 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Matches: 1)Bret vs. Austin 2)HBK vs. Razor 3)Bret vs. Owen 4)Austin vs. Rock II 5)Angle vs. Benoit 6)Flair vs. Savage 7)Savage vs. Steamboat 8)HHH vs. HBK vs. Benoit 9)TLC 2 10)Vince vs. Shane Moments (no particular order) 1)Hogan Slamming Andre 2)Rude pinning the Warrior 3)Liz beating Sherri's ass and reuniting with Savage 4)Savage vs. Flair (the whole thing. insane crowd, Flair bleeding like stuck pig, Mr. Perfect's blatant interferece, Flair kissing Liz and Savage loses his mind ect. Even the post match stuff was great) 5) Owen pinning Bret cleanly in the Garden 6) Owen Hart unvailing Yokozuna as his mystery partner and squashing the Gunns 7) The double turns of Bret and Austin in the course of one match. Thats how ya do it kids. 8) The Rock holding the IC belt high as he's being carted off on a strecher 9)Kane tombstones Pete Rose the first time 10) Tyson KO's HBK 11) Foley leaving the ring after being beaten by Triple H, sees HHH gloating on the video wall, turns around and whacks him with one last 2x4 shot before leaving 12)Shane vs. Vince-no technical masterpiece at all but the drama was built up amazingly throughout the match. And Shane finishing off Vince the Van Terminator was insane. 13)Triple H's live motorhead entrance. Can't figure out why it was so fucking cool but it was. They tried to duplicate at WM 18 and 21 but no such luck. 14)Austin murdering the Rock with 800 chair shots and pinning him to win the title. 15)Rock vs. Hogan-you knew you were witnessing something great. 16)The Rock finally beats Austin 17) Brock's shooting star press gone wrong 18) People's elbow:The Flair edition 19) Eddie & Benoit celebrate with thier respective world titles to close the show. No 2 more deserving people than them. 20) Randy Orton hits the RKO on the Undertaker. Orton was still being pushed hard at the time I though maybe he might end the winning streak. 21) Edge looking totally fucking tramatized after his match with Foley.
